You're right, let us have it. Im not running at all, I thought this was the year. But man was I wrong I didn't see this happening. Good luck to both teams Thursday!!!

All class right there. I respect that a lot. Don't see it as much anymore 

I don't care who you are. If I cared I would have spoken with you before. This thread has become a "you vs me" thing and that wasn't intended. 

I expect a good game from two good teams. I see PC as the better team. They've played better teams and won most of them. If CPA couldn't slow them down I don't think Fairview will. I see PC winning by 3 or more scores after a close firs half. No hatred. Just what I think. Everyone enjoy your week. I'll go back to the Alcoa threads. They can handle it better.

If you don't have a dog in the hunt shut your mouth eat your popcorn in the stands and come watch a good game. Then after the game come shake my hand. Lol

 Is this where I say, "you're not man enough to make me shut my mouth"? If the weather isn't too bad I'll be there like I was two weeks ago.

No. That wouldn't be considered hatred. Surely you realize that you're going above and beyond to express your "opinion". It looks more like grinding an axe. Either way, You can take it up with his Pops now. I'm out!

I don't have any axe to grind. Sorry it seems that way. Don't see that I've done anything different than anybody else. Really don't see the problem. Mr Greg is the only angry person.

Yeah I prove you can run your mouth, why you so worried  about what is going on with my son? 

I don't think you understand how a message board works. The opposing team talked about how they have seen other good backs in the past. Branch was brought into the discussion. Since I watched him play a lot I have a decent assessment. I think Branch was better. Which is no disrespect to your son. Not sure there's another back in TN better than him. 

This is how these boards work. People push their own opinion of teams and players. Your son is a player. He was good last year and he's good this year. 

Better?

I believe you just proved my point.

I guess before he transferred he was good now he isn't.  It is a shame how a coach try to damage a kid, that has nothing to do with why he tranfered. A real man or coach wouldn't do this. but like I said before I don't play childish game if you have any thing bad to say about my son come to me and we can get this strait. Be a man and not a boy. Furthermore learn how to coach and quit using Madden plays.  

Pretty sure I said he was good. Just not as good as Branch. No offence but Branch is in my opinion better. If you want your son playing high level college ball you better learn to take criticism. By the way I never coached your son. If I did I'd ask you to stay off of this site. You can't handle the chatter.

He's gone above and beyond the call of duty to question the whole Darius James transfer ordeal and went as far as to call it "deceitful" in a recent comment.  He pretends to be partial instead of just coming out and admitting his view.  He even questioned Greg James when he got on here and defended his family when another poster attacked them on a public forum.  

 The transfer wasn't brought up by me. I just gave my thoughts on the matter and said how it looked. Never said anything else. Seems like you guys want your opinion but no one else's. Not how a message board works.

Who cares? I'm assuming you're a grown man and can find something better to do than get on here and spew hatred about a kid and talk about his family's personal business. I've always kind of liked and respected you on here but you're making it tough lately. Give it a rest man. 

I gave my opinion on a thread about a D1 kid being better than another. Why is that wrong? A PC poster said they've seen Branch and were asking about James. I gave my opinion. Sorry you feel that's hatred. Howdy jumped in. So I relied. Peyton manning in my opinion is better than the Giles qb. That hatred?

James will also play D-I at the end of the day.  

That's just your opinion. Unless he's already signed I can't see that. You have a love affair with Fairview. We get it! Just don't pretend those backs are even equals. One is elite and the other is good. There is a difference. Branch would have ran for 3000 yards in Fairviews region.

Branch from Kenwood?  I coached Antwan and will tell you he's a more physical runner than Darius but Darius is a better receiver out of the backfield and is more explosive when he's in the open field.  

Branch was explosive enough to play for UNC. He's better than James in every way. Special kid

James is nowhere near the back that Branch was. It isn't even close. Branch was an elite back on a bad team. Branch was better in every single way. Great running back

Anger where did that come from all I said was come talk to me about it so you can get your facts together you know people can lie about this and lie about that, but before you make judgement get your information  strait from the horses mouth don't go what others  say get it from the source. If you want to talk about it call me you have my number. Otherwise  keep my family name out your mouth

You sound calm. I don't have your number and do not want it. Everything I wrote was true. I didn't bring up any hearsay or gossip.

If you want to talk about it be a man and come talk if they are so worried. don't put false information out there if you don't know the facts. A real Coach or man don't gossip like little women get facts shoe me facts

I didn't bring this topic up but you could've let it die by not replying. You chose to keep it going.  I stated facts earlier. Your son told his teammates that he was transferring to Strafford or Fairview in the off-season. He decided to stay at Sycamore for his final year. Goes on vacation with Fairview players in the summer. He then transfers to Fairview. Those Greg are facts. 

Everything may be on the up and up. That's why I said it did not look good from the outside looking in. If that angers you this much maybe you should not get on here as much. 

Greg, you must expect folks from Pleasant View to have their doubts on what happened after things your son said in the off-season. Then leaving 2 weeks before the season started. Just looks very bad. As an adult you can hopefully see that. Being angry and challenging someone to meet you at a football game just makes things worse. 

This thread has took off. Giles will have the best player on the field but not sure about the best team. 

I know about the James situation. It looks very deceitful from the outside looking in. I'm not involved but I know what I've heard. 

I haven't heard about the 2 players that live in Hickman county. Do they actually live there or is this just more coach t gossip? 

As listed on unapproved website 

Brown has 1,503 and 22 touchdowns and Lowe ran for 940 and 14 touchdowns with 1,818 passing and 16 touchdowns. After watching Lowe's highlight tape I'm a believer in that kid!

Memphis area high school players of the week (Round 1, Playoffs)

John Varlas, USA TODAY NETWORK – TennesseePublished 9:00 a.m. CT Nov. 7, 2017

     

 

Football offense

Kalyn Grandberry, Raleigh-Egypt: The senior picked up 237 yards on just 15 carries and scored on runs of 87, 18 and 44 yards as the Pharaohs improved to 11-0 with a 41-13 victory over Bolivar Central in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs. With 40 touchdowns on the year and at least one game to go, Grandberry has a shot at the Shelby County single-season record of 43 set by White Station's Dillon Mitchell (2015).

Football defense

Quentin Williams, Southwind: Williams intercepted two passes and broke up two others to help the Jaguars defeat Clarksville Northeast, 35-28, in Class 5A. One interception was returned 70 yards for a touchdown and pulled Southwind to within a point at 28-27 after trailing 28-7.

Is he better than Lowe or Brown from Bolivar? Haven't seen any in person but did just watch Lowe's highlights.

If you're going by stats alone they RE back or Lowe from Bolivar are the players to look at. Lowe has 1,800 yards passing and 940 rushing. Lowe put up those numbers while sharing the load with a 1,500 yard rusher. 

I've watched James for the last 4 year's. Good athlete but not nearly as good as Parker. When you add in who they've played it shows that Parker is the much better player.

Whhaatt Stratford threw the ball 0_o 

yeah I didn't expect them to come out in the gun and throw it so much. They had open guys. A few drops and a few missed throws. A lot better game than I thought it would be.

Marshall County's non region schedule:

 6A Cane Ridge  L 27-20 had a couple of chances to win that one.

5A Shelbyville  W 51-27

3A Pearl Cohn L 28-24 led the game with 2 mins left. Another game we could have won. Made too many mistakes against a very good team.

3A Giles County W 49-28

6A Brentwood L 49-7

We scheduled those teams because we have the playoffs in mind and knew that each of those teams would challenge us in all 3 phases of the game and make us better win or lose. 

Thats a solid non region schedule.

If Fairview don't come out with better intensity than Fridays game, we are in trouble. 

We can't leave points on the field either. Fairview got to the red zone multiple times and didn't capitalize. Don't get cute and pass the ball when you got couple of the best rushers in the conference #8 #1 and #21

I thought they played well against the athletes from Stratford. I was surprised to see Stratford throw the ball so well. They missed a lot of wide open guys that could've changed the game. A similar game this week and Giles will throw for 500yds on them. The Fairview  qb played well all night.
