  1. 5A was BY FAR the deepest classification of all 9 TN classes. I honestly felt like there were abt 10 teams (Knox Central, Knox West, South Doyle, Henry Co, Beech, Gallatin, Summit, Page, Shelbyville, Powell) that had a very realistic shot a winning it all when the playoffs started as long as they played well. There were also a couple of other teams (think Dyer Co) you could have possibly added to this list as well that had an outside shot and would've had to play the best 5 games of their season to have a chance.
  2. STOP! Yes, someone needs to check him in. Put him in a padded room. He IS officially crazy. No offense to LC, SP or GB but the talent gap bt 1A championship teams and 5A teams is MUCH bigger than you realize. Congratulations on a great season to both Greenback and Lake County! There IS A REASON they are divided into different classifications. Go Jackets
  3. Great game F5! Yall showed why your program is one of the top programs in TN, regardless of classification! Great season Firebirds, keep your heads held high. Many will say they could have played the F5 better than y'all and everyone in the west had their opportunity, but didnt take advantage of it. Coulda, shoulda, woulda! PC takes home the silver! Back to Alcoa, yr in and yr out, they are one of the best teams in the state. They would win 4A almost every yr, 5A lots of yrs and 6A some yrs and that's the truth. Much respect for your program!!!
  4. Repoman, Rankin could/would DEF win state titles in Music City with the talent walking the halls at PC, but I dont believe he cares anything abt winning the spelling bee or math Bowl. That's what the "magnet kids" you're referring to would most likely be used for.
  5. I'm a Springfield fan, but always had respect for the PC program since we (Springfield) moved to 4A in the fall of 95 and having played against the 96 and 97 PC teams. That being said, I gained a respect for their band as well bc they were jamming the whole time we played. In your situation as an announcer, I do understand how someone would be VERY upset at the band playing during the entire game. As far as a school forcing you outside right behind the band to announce, to me, that's worse than the band playing during game. Go Jackets!!!
  6. Thank you, I was/am rooting for PC but i was afraid of what is happening. At least they will win the Battle of the Bands, and take home a silver ball for the efforts!
  7. You DO NOT EVER need to go watch Memphis Whitehaven play a game if the Pearl Cohn band offends you or any HS that would be considered HBCU ish for that matter.Keep jamming PC band, I wish I was there to hear it!
  8. General, STOP! I've saw PC firsthand a couple of times this yr and went to watch TC once. Alcoa has a way of making really good teams look not very good, but to say that PC would lose to the top 4 in 1A and 2A, WOULD NOT HAPPEN! Don't kid yourself. Btw, I do like your name, one of the most underrated Generals and military tacticians in American history.
  9. Anywhere to watch like it was on the 1A game, not called NFHS or the stadium?
  10. Our kids dont know any different. They'll just think they're playing for us. It usually helps our "O" find their rhythm. Go Jackets!!!
  11. CONGRATULATIONS LAKE COUNTY!!! Yall have a heck of a team. Not a fan of either school but GB was dominated ALL GAME. That being said, with a few big plays, some LC self inflicted wounds, and a huge discrepancy in penalties called, GB still had a chance until the pick 6. It seemed as the refs had an obvious bias in favor of GB but LC kept fighting and enforcing their will at the LOS. BCB-MVP should be cut in half for Snyder and Puckett! Looks like outside of 4A Crockett Co, Huntingdon kept it closer than anyone else this yr. Congratulations again on a great season to both Greenback and Lake County. Go Jackets!!!
  12. WG, I like it and thank you for taking your well compensated work time to do this for us. Keep it going!
  13. That's right, and with that being said, "Lil" Kramer wrestled 60+ matches every yr for the last 4 yrs, wrestling 69 his freshman yr so 70+ isn't some unreachable number during the mid 90's or even now for that matter.
  14. What abt single season wins? I was thinking McTorry was something like 76-0 during his senior season. Asking for some help.
  15. FB26, Maplewood is in Reg 4 and Springfield is in Reg 5. Regions 1-4 are east and Regions 5-8 are west. Most schools in regions 1-4 are east of I-65(Maplewood)and most schools in regions 5-8 are west of I-65(Springfield). However, there are a few schools that this I-65 rule dont apply to (White House and portland are the ones close to me that I know of) but they are within a couple miles of the interstate and the majority of region 5 is west of I-65, same as most of region 4 is east of I-65.
  16. Etown, Only took you 5 days to be able to name 7 players for him. Mtester, thank you for verifying Etown's content accuracy. Let me be the first to welcome you to the T.
  17. Y'all (MC) had a good regular season and beat us pretty good at our place but for whatever reason got beat by a team(DeKalb Co) who wasnt nearly as good as yall, IMO. They were on that night and that's it, but thats all it had to be. Your team should have played Nolensville in the quarters but... After yall beat us, our kids turned the corner. We lost one more game (to Mont Cent) 13-10 in the mud when their 270lb RB had like 53 carries. Their coaches couldn't have ordered a better set of circumstances for that game. After that, we've beaten everyone weve played including Hardin Co and Haywood. Like I said, there is a big difference in a beating a team early/midway thru the yr and beating them late in the season. Virtually every good team keeps improving throughout the year, they dont stay where they are. If they do, their basketball season starts earlier than it should. The last 4 yrs mean absolutely 0 when trying to compare teams from this season. Heck, some teams aren't nowhere near where they'll be by THIS seasons end. Ask Henry Co how watered down Haywood was this yr. I know you're upset abt what could have been, but the GC, Milan, Fairview, Stratford AND Marshall County Tiger teams that played their last games this season DONT beat the Springfield team that beat Haywood last week. Good Luck Firebirds!!! Sorry abt the long reply and wrong thread
  18. Rivalry game is your answer to the EN/Stratford game! The Stratford that got beat by GC in the playoffs (I went and watched that crap firsthand and wished I would've went to watch a dozen other games) ain't coming within 3TD's of Springfield.
  19. I apologize in advance Firebird fans and Goons, but who's we? PC and Covington, ok, possibly. I didnt see SG play this yr. Giles Co probably not, Stratford, NOPE. You would have had a MUCH better argument with EN than either of the your last 2 or your 2 "possibles". EN has all the talent in the world but just cant get beat PC. Good Luck Firebirds and Yellow Jackets!!!
  20. D12AA, which 5? Obviously you're gonna say PC and Covington. Who are the other 3 you think would beat Springfield this yr? Btw, this yr as in August or September, dont count the same as beating them in November. Good Luck Firebirds!
  21. No doubt, Coach Wilson is a great coach. That being said, IMHO, this season is BY FAR the best job he has ever done. This team was expected by many to go to the playoffs and possibly win one game. Very few people expected them to advance past rd2 of the playoffs and virtually no one expected them to beat Hardin Co, much less Haywood. And yet, here they are again with a chance to win a state championship. Go Jackets!!!
  22. Betsy plays within the rules of their county (open zone) and Springfield plays within the rules of their county (closed zone). Are these anywhere close to equal? Not even close! Yes, a county kid in Carter Co can pay $300 and go to the school of his choice (what parent of a good athlete couldn't come up with $300 for their kid to be on a good team). Yes, you're correct, several teams playing this weekend will be open zoned schools and a few aren't (which to me makes their run that much more impressive). Most good coaches aren't on the T during the week, they are breaking down film and installing a gameplan for the next opponent. The so-called advantage of being here before was two yrs ago. This is a totally different team. This teams seniors were sophomores who probably didnt contribute very much that season. That being said, I like your teams advantage over my teams "advantage". I just hope the Jackets can keep it close next Saturday. If we keep it close and can stay within a score or 2, I like our chances. Go Jackets!!!
  23. Angelman, you're correct. Closed zone in these parts. Our school board doesnt allow a $300 payment to go play for the good team and say the academics are better and that's why we want to move schools. You have to be zoned Springfield HS to attend SHS and play sports at SHS. Believe me, they're are a few kids from county schools (East Robertson, White House Heritage, Greenbrier and even Jo Byrns) that could help this team.
