is their a problem with having private schools nearby? If you look at the top in the state and country they all do what this guy says and they buy in whole heartedly to their program. They all train year round to be better and most of them without a so called “feeder school". I figured you being an Indy fan would love private schools considering you all receiving 2 of yalls top players ever from privates but...
I was talking more from my experience in high school. Private school sat right in our school zone. We usually had two to three potential starters go to the private school. In our area I think Brentwood High School suffers the most from the loss of talent.

Independence line was smaller. Biggest kid 240lbs. Center was 210lbs.

About as tangible as the fact that RHS starters beat indy starters by two scores in a scrimmage the weak before season started
Congratulations Ravenwood! I guess this year Williamson County has the best team in the state. I hate to jump in on this thread like this but what scrimmage were you watching? Starters played four series a piece. Indy up 3-2 at halfway point of scrimmage. Ravenwood played starters against Indy's JV for one series after the half and scored. Ravenwood JV clobbered Indy's JV . Congrats to Ravenwood regardless. I was pulling for you! Just get your facts correct before you post. And if you are trying to spin a scrimmage as a real game we could talk about your "scrimmage " against Oakland or better still, your loss to 5A Centennial.
Sorry to the rest of the folks on this thread. Just needed to set the record straight.

After we scored our last TD, Blade pulled all the juniors out and put the seniors who don't play much into the game. They ran the ball every play and waited till the play clock was down to 5 sec before the snap. Typical stuff a coach does the last game of the season with a big lead. Not sure what the issue is.Indy looked awesome last night. I did wonder why the 1st string was still in with 4 minutes to go with a 49 14 lead. Should have given backups some time.

Agree wholeheartedly and I think it works well in a tight community with s straight middle school feeder and no tuition assisted private schools nearby.

These are the facts and nothing but the facts so help us all...These rankings are not an opinion. These are the official rankings broken down by state and nationally.
This Championship game has 5 players ranked in the top 50 for the state of TN. These rankings are a composite ranking which is an average between the 4 ranking services. (247, Rivals, Scout and ESPN)
Nate Johnson...#6 athlete overall in TN...#3 WR in TN...80th best WR nationally
Deuce Wallace...#15 athlete overall TN...#1 QB in TN...18th best QB nationally (Pro-style)
Dorian Banks...#24 athlete overall in TN...#1 RB in TN...51st best RB/ATH nationally
Andrew Bunch...#26 athlete overall in TN...#4 QB in TN...51st best QB nationally (Pro-style)
Kylan Stribling...#49 athlete overall in TN...#6 CB in TN...190th best CB nationally
Gonna be a heckuva game
Thanks for these stats. players to watch from Indy:
#19 Seth Huner. Receiver that goes a little unnoticed playing aside Johnson. Great routes, great hands and great moves after the catch.
#6 Daniel Wright. Running back. Wouldn't know he was football player in street clothes. Trusts his linemen and follows blocks well.
#44 Jordan Pope. Defensive tackle. 5'8" 225lbs. Squats 550lbs and is very quick. Very effective pass rusher with speed to run down a quarter back..
#4 Chris Beavers. Defensive End. Tall kid with good speed. Excellent pass rusher.
#33 Jacob Stoney. Linebacker and kicker. Kicks into the end zone 9 out 10 times. Missed a 53 yard field goal slightly left this year.
None of these kids have been heavily recruited but are a major reason for Indy's success.
I've been able to watch a couple Sevier County games on video and aside from the color of the jerseys, I thought I was watching Indy. Virtually the same offense with a great QB and great receivers. This game will be won or lost on the line. Defensively, Indy runs a four man line and rarely blitzes. It appears SC runs mostly a three man line but will blitz a linebacker. SC has size advantage on the line. I think Indy's line plays with better technique. Indy has given up fewer points. Both defenses get after ball. Both teams execute well. Should be the best game to watch of all eight championship games in my opinion.
Someone asked why Bunch hasn't been recruited by the big schools. I don't have any inside information but he was nursing a sore elbow over the summer when a couple schools were looking at him and then had a stress fracture in his elbow during the second quarter of game two. He missed the next four games. Luckily we had an open week or he would have missed five games. He may be a little short for the ideal recruit. He lists at 6' 1" but he's more like 6' even.

Ok first of all for u sevier fans that think this is going to be easy, trust me it's not the most points Indy has gave up all year have been 20 I'm not even shure ur "stud" offense over there at SC has even put up more that 20 in some games, Indy has constantly put up 40 points or more 38 to Hendersonville 42 to cane ridge 56 to centineal I'm telling you right now Indy is not going to lose just cause of yalls quarterback and receivers Indy don't have just a few players they are stacked sevier better have the bus heaters ready by half
I'm new to Coacht this season and it's an interesting forum. I discovered it after using CoachT to get scores. I can tell you that very few people close to the Indy program know of this forum so please don't assume the worst from a couple of posters. Indy is a relatively new school (11 years old) and has had at least four head coaches and has been rezoned multiple times. We just reached full enrollment after losing a lot of the student body to the new Summit High School. Coach Blade in his in third season and hopefully the school zones will be stable so that we can begin to develope the tradition of schools like Sevier County. Folks from Sevierville and Pigeon Forge probably never heard of Independence High School prior to this season. I don't recall the two schools ever competing with each other prior to this.
I don't have a prognosis for the Friday's game yet. I have only seen Sevier's first drive against Rhea County on video. From that I can tell you that our offenses look very similar. Stats are what they are and without a common opponent it's hard to judge. I'll try to post again later but for now I'm looking forward to a great game!

Indy vs Hillsboro is an hour and half. I 40 to Hiway 840. No traffic from Cookville. Should be a good one.

It was a great game to watch. Still close into the third quarter and the game was not put away until we scored to make it 31-7 in the fourth. We still remembered the comeback the Commandos made two years ago. I thought the Commandos stole the momentum after the fumble at the beginning of the second half but our kids rose to the challenge. Thiat is what has made this team different than teams in the past. Offensively it went about as I expected for Indy. Nate Johnson and Seth Huner have been making catches like that all year so they were no fluke. Our offensive line did well to protect Bunch against the best defense we've played all year. I thought Hville would move the ball better, quite frankly, and its a testament to our defense. Hville's offense executed well but we were able to keep them botteld up for the most part. Could have been a different story if your QB had completed that first pass!
Congrats to Hendersonville on a fine season! Maybe we'll do it again next year. I haven't seen Hillsboro play. Any thoughts on that game?
-
Interesting you say that Tgun. Indy's backup QB from last year is the starting QB for Oakland this year. He's a junior.
-
That is the best post regarding these two teams I've read between multiple post and I have zero skin in this game other than trying to figure out who Indy's QB will be next year,,,,,,,

I've said in a post on another thread that I have been looking to Hendersonville as the team that Indy needed to beat to make it to Cookville. Having been knocked out of the playoffs two years in a row by the Commandos, Indy certainly isn't looking past this game. My prediction for this game is that it will be a GREAT GAME.
Neither of these teams have faced an opponent like each other this year. No one runs the WingT like Hendersonville and no one runs the Spread Offense like Indy. I wouldn't want to be either Defensive Coordinator. You can have your kids watch all the film you want but it's very difficult to simulate each others offense in practice.
Indy's front seven must be very disciplined. They must stay at home, recognize pulling guards, and then fly to the ball. If you see Hville running backs breaking through the line untouched, somebody missed a read. Watch Indy's linebackers early in the game to see how it goes. If Hville has a lot of 3rd down and 5+, I think you are in trouble.
Hville has to get pressure on the quarterback because I don't think they can cover all four receivers on every play and Bunch WILL find the open receiver. If you try to blitz though, Indy can hurt you with the screen and QB draw. Indy runs the ball very well from their passing formations as well. The Guards and Tackles both pull on some plays and if Hville's line gets too much penetration, Wright will bust through the line untouched. It's a very difficult chore for Hville's linebackers because Indy's line does a very good job of disguising their blocks. Again, watch the linebackers
A dry field favors Indy and it looks like it will be dry. My prediction is whoever wins the Coin Toss will take the ball. That's the only thing I am certain of. I can see a close game going either way, or a big victory for Indy. I do not see a repeat of last year. Official prediction 35-21 Indy plus or minus the extra points.
For those Hville fans driving down for the game give yourself an extra 20 minutes to get here. 4 lanes goes to 2 on I-65 and it can take a while. Bring a bunch of people because this is #1 vs #2 in the State. It should be a GREAT GAME!

Actually, one lineman plays full time O and part time D
-
None pull full duty both ways. About 5 kids on the team will see plays in both sides of the ball
-
How big are the lines for Indy? All the tv highlights focus on the ball and we never get to see the big uglies. They have to be beasts to be doing all they are doing. I'm convinced they are the best team in the state.
Indy's line has been outsized in every game but Summit. Average about 225 lbs on offense. About the same on D. Very strong for their size however and very well coached.
-
So what's makes This years Indy team so much better than last years team? I guess they are just clicking much better. I know you returned a whole lot of kids but so did Hendersonville...maybe more than Indy. The Hendersonville team that had their way with you last year. I think this game will be much better than those outside of Hendersonville think it will be
Defense, Offensive line, and Special teams. All are much improved from last year's squad. The QB and receivers are all the same kids from last year. Prior to the season, I looked at Centennial, Hendersonville and Hillsboro as the teams that we needed to beat to get to Cookville and it looks like we will have to beat all three to get there. Of those three teams, Hendersonville poses the biggest challenge for us since their offense has the capability to chew up the clock and keep our offense off the field. We have faced similar offenses twice this year in Stewarts Creek and Summit but neither of those teams execute as well as Hendersonville. It will be an interesting game to say the least and I expect the stands to be full on both sides. One factor to the game will be the field condition. Our field is in good shape but it was extremely wet last week. Forecast is to be dry this week and for the game. The key to the game will be how well Indy's defense can stop Hendersonville's running attack early. If the Commandos can keep the ball for six minutes and score then I think we are looking at a close, very exciting game. I'll be interested to see what Hville does on defense. We've seen everything this year from double coverage on Nate Johnson from Centennial to a an all out blitz with hard press coverage from a very athletic Cane Ridge team. I don't think your secondary matches up well against our receivers and that will be your challenge. Last year you were able to get good pressure on our QB. Much respect from Indy to the Commandos. #1 vs #2 in the state. Look forward to a great game.

Tired of Ravenwood people trying to spin a preseason scrimmage into a victory over Indy. I kept the scoreboard for that scrimmage and Indy's varsity scored three of the first five possessions. Ravenwood scored twice. Ravenwood varsity offense played a sixth possession and scored against Indy JV players. Ravenwood JV did beat Indy's JV so total score went to Ravenwood. Congrats to Ravenwood regardless.
