This will be an interesting year for this region, for sure. Regardless of who is coaching, Lewis County should do well with this traditional schedule. Everyone knows Fayetteville will wipe them but the true test will be how well they do against 0-50 (oh for fifty) Spring Hill. If they are not able to run the score up like last year, then we know there is a good chance for another annual early round playoff exit. It’s a two horse region like it’s always been so, the question is, can LC beat Riverside? If they spank Spring Hill and take care of business against Riverside, then make a deep run into the playoffs, does that mean LC’s new coach is better than the previous one? My thoughts on this region and coaching change is dicey at best. Yes, LC is in perhaps the weakest 2A region in the state. Yes, (excluding Fayetteville) they only have one competitive game on their schedule. I actually see LC taking a step back this year. I think there have been some high scores (again, I know LC doesn’t play a competitive schedule) and some games won solely on the ability of teams not being able to defend that Wing T. If the new coach brought in what is now the traditional spread offense, other teams will have a better shot at defending it. But, I will say it again; new coach or not; better coach or not; any coach could coach against that schedule and come out 8-2. Even a terrible slip up and LC goes 7-3.

That used to be a very big rivalry. Seems several years ago Lawrenceburg called it quits against Giles. was that a scheduling conflict as well?

How did the QB look? He was the real deal last year. I have a very strong feeling we will be meeting him again this year!

Not trolling my friend. Sorry about my resident stalker hijacking this thread.

Seeing how there wasn’t much over there in West Tennessee for you to watch last year or past several years, I can understand your desire to watch good football.

And yet, here you are?

It’s always the last one that counts the most! Don’t y’all have some coaching problems over there that you need to spend your time on?

That program has been in a dumpster fire for a while now. I understand the parents are trying to run the program and administration does not know how to deal with it.

How did your boys do last year? I forgot.

Well, are you going to provide any thoughts to the questions? I know you’re all the way over there in west Tennessee so, you may not possess any relevant thoughts.

Let us know if the QB has improved any over last year. That kid should be DI.

They have a very nice thing going with that program. I’m just wondering though, if they don’t play for a gold ball in the next few years, will they make a coaching change? Granted, there has been more success (it seems) and stability since the early to mid 80’s.

I’m curious (not cynical at all) but do you guys see Hohenwald improving with the new regime? I know I deride them for weak schedules and early playoff exits but, do you guys see them making deeper playoff runs? I ask because they are usually ranked in the top 10 year in and year out; even at the end of the season when playoffs begin. I think there is tremendous upside to that program but know little about it, really. Can the new coach more out of the kids there to go further? Will that be the holding point and if so, has that been the drawback all along?

Heard where they hired a new school superintendent down there. Did that have anything to do with Sharp leaving?

I meant to ask you what you thought about Page last fall since you said you were going to come watch us play?

Is it just me that noticed there is one team that was not ranked going into the season (yet)? I mean, not only not ranked in the usual top 10 but not even ranked in the top 15. How could this be?

But, good enough to play for the state championship in 5A? Your post did not age well. Can you imagine how big of a deal that would have been? I mean for them to beat the runner up in 5A? What about making it to the state championship? Round two you say? What did we end up ranked at the end of the season? Frauds, you say? You think so now? Worst team in history you say? As in state championship game worst? Fourth, huh? Hmmm Joke, you say? What do you think now? Really? As in carry it to the state championship game for them because they will never carry it there themselves? Talking about all of those teams beating us but yet we played for the gold ball?.?.? Exposed you said? Pathetic you said? Still think that now? . But, we have actually played in the state championship game. . Horrible? Will playing for a gold ball defend it?

Ain’t it though?

Lol, they are still in shock; not sure if they will be consistent paper champions now. Yep, if they ever wanted to advance past the paper champion monicker. May not be or, necessarily be the fans down there. May be more like one or two people calling the program out for not being “real”. They have had some good teams in the past, for sure. As long as any/every thing remained the same down there, they were never going to advance to the championship. If they keep the same type of schedule he will win. The question is, can he build up a program that can be good enough to get to and past the second round. As it is now and has been for years, Hohenwald only plays one regular season game a year. This will be much easier than any where else he has been. Especially in the first year or two; excluding Fayetteville next year.

This, I actually had to read this twice to make sure this poster was not talking about Hohenwald. So, as I understand this, the coach is essentially walking into the same exact situation he was in? If anyone has any doubts what-so-ever, I can tell you exactly how it will be for Central. As soon as the contracts with Giles County and Lewisburg are up, one will be swapped out with some basketball school such as Unionville. Look for the other one to be swapped with the likes of little ole Collinwood. Of course, they will keep Mount Pleasant and as long as Mount Juliet is down, they will stay on the schedule. From here on out (may take two years for contracts to cycle out) they will have at least five wins due to out of region scheduling. Add in just how bad Spring Hill and Lincoln County are and Winchester doesn’t look like they care about football and you will have at least seven minimal or more like eight win seasons. The region will come down to them playing one team, us! (Bout like Hohenwald/Riversburg or Hohenwald/Chapel Hill). Now, before I ask if anyone can see the similarities between what is going to be Central’s schedule and Hohenwald's the past three decades, I do want to point out we did make it to and play in the state championship game. As long as Central stays in 5A and our county brothers stay in 6A, look for Central to have high regular season winning percentages with early round playoff exits! Y’all heard it here first!

IIRC, about five months ago you were not taking things on here as banter… And, you were not taking things “lightly” either.

I have heard that you guys have a quarterback that had it been anyone else but that one specific kid at QB at Westview, he would have not only garnered the starting spot but also attention. I feel playing in a larger level football program will actually help him more. So not looking forward to the playoffs this year if we meet.

Here's a question: Will he be able to implement the Wing T into Centrals football program? Will they accept it? I know the RPO is the dominant offense now and that offenses change and evolve but will it work in big boy football? I also know that some of the other larger schools still run the Wing T. It seems that they have been doing so for years, however. Another thing; I remember when McCurry left Lynchburg for Lewisburg and brought that offense with him. They didn't fare too well. I'm not sure if that was due to the offense or kids or it seems like it may have been some type of coaching problem(s) from an assistant coach. I don't think he fared too well with it in Winchester, either.

So, you joined the party, took your ball and went home then came back to it late? Woody, I've already commented about the future weak scheduling Central is going to have in just a couple of years. Come on man, get your head into the game!

You gotta do better than this! If you want E-cred, you have to talk in a manner those of us "not in the loop" can understand; such as "trustworthy" and "other places". What's all this "trust" and "not broken by me"? What former player (current coach)? All I'm seeing here are riddles, man.
