Rusty made right at 100k if I recall while he was at Grace. 

Coach Long did ok, Grace just wasn’t committed in getting the athletes in…

I will say Someone gave some money though for those new axiom helmets purchased from Bull Norman at Riddell. 

I’m sure Bull will be glad he’s mentioned here. If you know him ask him about USFL/ESPN.

I think the East TN private school player, Shaji Jackson played very well last pm against the public school players. The Knoxville team had multiple players from private schools. 
 

Hats off to Packer for his commitment to the HS game. To make his product better he needs to switch Cain/Price roles. Eric very knowledgeable about game. You can’t say that about Price or Packer.

I’ve talked to some former players who think it’s a possibility. I heard they want to make an announcement on Wednesday. 12/6. I’d rather him go to C-N than a TN high school.

He’s not going to CN.

Carson-Newman just fired their head football coach today which is located in George Quarles home town of Jefferson City. Hopefully Carson-Newman knows one man's trash can be another man's treasure.

Not happening

Did the GP RB really quit during the 3rd qtr and take his uniform off?

Somebody posted on another thread the other day that DB only practices 3 days a week. And during the fall break (1 week) didn't practice at all. I haven't been to a practice in over 10 years, so I don't know. Is this the norm. Is there a TSSAA rule that says you can't practice during fall break or can only practice 3 days a week? Or is our coaching staff this lazy? 

Hard for me to believe that’s true about practice. Maybe practice 3 times during the bye week. What’s missing are the Foreman,Swafford, Sensabaugh Barger level athletes.

We had a young man playing running back 2016 season when JC came to Blaze drive in Murfreesboro. They played us a whale of a game until the coaches fed them a steady diet of Master Teague ...5'11 225  4.4  40 ... went on to play RB at Ohio State.... But you are Right... you don't see many gems like that come through a high school program 

 

He took one 95 before half that broke open that game.

I’m just glad they aren’t playing next to the chocolate factory. I do remember JC and Cleveland scrimmaging 2 yrs in a row with the good QB from Cleveland . I think he played at Pitt.

Jefferson Patriots will not mercy rule Cleveland Raiders in this game. I guarantee it will not happen. I do not care if they have a player as good as Todd Collins it will not happen on Friday night. I guarantee it. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message. 

I can assure you they don’t have anybody close to as good as any of the Collins boys. 

RB’s at JC is a 4 headed monster. Each brings totally different style. I think # 3 may be the best one.  Deepest group they have ever had. 

Have been reading about speed on these DB posts. I do remember the SEC on display at a past DB/Bearden game with Devrin Young, Swafford, and Foreman. Now that was speed.

It’s Homecoming in Dumplin Valley. West Ridge was tied with Science Hill at the half last night. Injuries to Jeff CO’s top 2 RB will affect this one. Hopefully defense can carry the day. With a win, JC wins Region 1 title 

Don’t see any drop off with #23 or #7 running ball for Pats. Big HC win for Jeff Co. Sp teams led to 2 direct MW points.

Are the Trojans finally getting back to being a solid team once again? Since Lamar left they haven’t been much, but have traditionally been a tough squad.

The talent pool dried up for about 10 yrs and Lamar saw it coming. From what I’ve been told last couple yrs MS ball has improved so sending up better players. Coach Sanders good coach and good guy. Always great to beat MW at anything if you’re a Patriot.

I would expect relatively low scoring game. MW usually has good D against the run. Not sure they have enough offensive juice against JC’s D.  Expect Pats run win streak to 3.

How did WB get moved to region 1 and avoid the juggernaut. They won’t play maryville and are in the same county. That’s just wild to me. They have some tssaa alumni? Lol

I’m not 100% sure but heard they petitioned TSSAA and were granted the move. 

Skill level wise probably the worst I’ve ever seen DB. They always have a difference maker on the offense.  On the other hand this may be best RB rooms the Patriots have had and one of the top D’s in a long time. Just a perfect storm with the 2 “Top Dogs” being down.  Patriots capable of winning Region game but some of the intangibles have to be fixed.

I was going to send message to WaCo earlier in week that DB secondary shouldn’t factor into this game all Jeff could do is run it. Big passes made a difference in game.  JC WR is a really good HS receiver that continues to make plays. 

25-14 Jeff Co

18-14 Jc

14-12

Pats fumble in end zone DB recovers. 7-6 DB

6-0 Jeff Co almost end 1st.

Was he injured or did he not play for discipline issues?

I’m not privy to player status but I’d say injury he’s good kid so probably not discipline issue.

Which kid are you referring to that did not play last night?

#6.
