  1. That’s mild compared to some of the high school football stories coming out of the 50s through the 70s. I’ve heard of a dad pulling a knife on the ref/coach at a Greenville game back in the 50’s after the game. Men were a lot meaner back then. Asked my father how many flags were thrown back when he played per game in the 60’s.He said about one or two the whole game. They would just let the boys play and we’re not so strict. A lot lot less penalty calling.
  2. Has a lot more to do with last years seniors graduating. The coaching staff is not the same.Some coaches left and went elsewhere. And we’re replaced. Might have something to do with it. Just another part of the equation.
  3. This is one game I am not going to miss. I hope it’s an all out war.
  4. Good luck to the Bulldogs. Trample the weak and hurdle the dead.
  5. Those are your facts according to you. My comeback was short because it is “Fact.”
  6. The Coaches for WR have done better than you ever could have and will do more than you ever will.
  7. I've got van load coming to watch the game. DBs band not showing up explains why they didn't have a lot of fans with them.
  8. Those folks who say Maryville is not athletic are probably not that athletic themselves. One look through the first 7 or so profiles on Maryville's HUDL account will tell you the Rebels have a stellar weightlifting and conditioning program. Teams do not win state titles by tactics and motivational speeches alone.
  9. Good opportunity for the Wolves. The last team from upper East Tn. that beat Maryville was Ketron. That was in 1972. Win or lose, the pack did outstanding in its first year. Better that expected. I’m proud of these young men and their coaches. Go Wolves!!
  10. This season set the tone and standard for future seasons.
  11. Are they any good at football? Most people come to a football forum to talk about, "Football."
  12. Can’t wait for this one. I hope it does snow. I have seen football teams start out strong at the beginning of the season and burnout toward the end of season. West Ridge just keeps on improving. Hard to tell when they will peak. Them seniors are making themselves a year to remember for the rest of their lives. I’ve noticed a lot of people have underestimated the wolves ability since from the beginning of the season based on the three schools’s previous football seasons. Nothing sweeter then proving the naysayers wrong. Go Wolves!!!
  13. I’m gonna buy me a WR hoodie, all kinds of shirts and apparel for my whole family. WR just keeps on a trucking. Improving with every game. Sure would like to see a rematch with that team from Kingsport.Jefferson county lost all their steam right at the beginning of the fourth. I’m happy for the team and the coaches on a good win. Proud to see my sons former coaches doing well for a new team.
  14. West Ridge for the win against Tn. High. By at least 2 touchdowns.
  15. None of the 3 schools that merged to make West Ridge came from a school that had artificial turf.
  16. They definitely got some game time experience against db. It was needed. They improved as the game went along. WR will have no problem against Cherokee.
  17. My whole life I have seen parents from all three county school systems opt to send their children to DB because they were not satisfied with the sports programs at their schools. I’ve also seen how the nicer neighborhoods that develop within the county end up being able to send their children to DB because somehow Kingsport pulls some strings and gets city taxes from these nicer neighborhoods. Even though these newly developed neighborhoods are geographically located in the county schools zones. For years students have been pulled from the county and sent to DB as long as their parents paid city taxes. Pull up Kingsport City School zone on the internet and see how erratic Kingsport’s City limits are. The City loves getting them taxes from neighborhoods in Orebank, Crown Colony, Preston Forest, Sullivan Gardens, and neighborhoods out by the airport.It’s no wonder West Ridge had to be built. Because KCS kept pulling students from schools that once had 1500 students a piece roaming the halls. Now the playing field is even. And it will be a heck of a game. West Ridge is a decent team now, but once they get to all train together at the same facility all year long, and after one four year rotation from freshman to seniors, DB will no longer be able to brag about beating small time, cup cake county schools(Wording of some DB fans) They will have to REALLY earn their bragging rights.
  18. Apparently, WR junior varsity only played DBs freshman last Thursday according to someone’s post on this thread. So is this game only going to be the WR varsity against DBs JV?
  19. I was just taking future stock in future varsity teams. West Ridges JV we’re pretty strong against Greenville’s.
  20. WR scrimmage against Elizabethton might have made them a little overconfident for the following week when they scrimmaged Greeneville. Was like night and day.
