49 back to back; ouch; hard to defend ? 1st time for a losing season since '08; not sure where this is headed ?

Cenral's QB play has fallen off since that Final's run they had. If you don't have consistent QB play, typically, that means you are average at best. Good ole boy, your instincts are correct; Stone is in over his head. Your record says you are what your record says you are.

In the Daily Herald, Stone claims this to be a winnable game ?

Playoff match-ups with Region 6 should be interesting ?

Fall break is problem when your losing not winning. I think it would be advantage Lincoln Co. LC wins this one by at least 4 or 5 scores.

Being in 5A has help Lincoln Co. They will end up in 2nd place in their region. I predict that will slaughter Columbia Central this Friday. Central is imploding. Stone has ruined what Belew had built up. 'The Pit' is a hard place to win when the Falcons have it going. Congrats to the Falcons ! Keep it going and stay healthy.

I have seen Warren Co. play this year and there is no division 1 talent.

Players don't quit because of the stands. Its the disconnect from this coach and his my way or the highway attitude. What is coming from the stand is the displeasure of how their kids are being coached. The quiting of players was just a rumor. No one has quit. The players are very frustrated being beat up having to play both ways then getting called out because they can handle it when there are capable players sitting on the bench who aren't even getting a chance. Here is an example, you a the smallest nose guard in the league getting run over week after week when they have a capable junior at 6'3 260 sitting the bench. Also the QB Bea has accounted for 80% of the scoring by passing but the coach keep him on the bench because he " "doesn't fit" his scheme yet after a first quarter of no offense he plugs him in to bail him out . A good coach uses his players to the best of their ability no matter what your scheme is. This kid is good and is being looked at by many division 1 schools but isn't being used to his ability. The frustration has been coming now for years of decline with this head coach. Even a blind fan could see its time for a change..

Columbia Central is way down from where Belew had it; Giles Co. has a major advantage.......    Howard Stone

How did Cane Ridge look in their 1st scrimmage ?

getting kids to the practice field is a major hurdle for an inner city program; as well as, working under Kessler. She would rather not have athletics at all. Best of luck to Thomas; you are gonna need it.

Why would the coach accept the job then turn around and apply for other jobs ? That is crazy. You people would be better served if you gave your support and give the new guy a chance. Those kids don't need to hear all this negativity; they deserve better.

Honestly, keeping it real; being put in the Murfreesboro region is a death sentance for two years. I hope that the powers at be, drop the 9th grade so they can drop to 5A or 4A in two years. There is no quick fix being in the Murfressboro region. Give the new guy time to establish himself and in year three/four (minus the 9th grade [9th grade academy]  in a different building) see wnat happens ?

He is staying put at Columbia
