Jasper has a Condra kid I believe was his name on the middle school team but not sure of the grade.  Hard to judge an 8th grader coming up unless he's an absolute freak of nature.

Alex Condra is from Whitwell and attends Jasper Middle right now.  He is a true athlete in every sport he plays.  All he wants to do is just play ball.  This is one kid that truly eats, sleeps and breathes sports.  He’s also a good kid.

This was our year and it was stolen. I’m not saying the refs were paid, but it was obvious they had an interest in seeing Whitwell win. I will never congratulate them on a fraudulent victory. Letting that go and moving on to next year is hard. It will take more time than a week.

Please explain exactly why the refs had an “Interest” in seeing Whitwell win? You have “officially” lost it.

I know, and I appreciate your level headed response. It’s a tough pill to take knowing our gold ball sits in the losing team’s trophy case. There were so many missed calls and botched calls in that game. When the outcome of a game is determined by refs, everyone wonders what should have been.  Whitwell will always know that trophy is undeserved, even their fans said so as they left the stadium, and we will always be the team that “lost” the game.  I’m sorry you had to experience the same helpless feeling of being robbed.

Your ears must have been stopped up from the rain because no one from Whitwell would  have said that because we watched the same game you did and felt our boys played one heck of a game.   My family and I stayed at the same hotel as some Cornersville fans and we talked to many of them.  We all joked and got along well saying how we hated that it had to be either of us that had to lose because we were both from such similar backgrounds.  Maybe IF you heard anything at all, it was in relation to that.  But only that.  Our QB was playroom two badly sprained ankles, one is in a brace and the other in a boot.  He shouthave been pulled sooner, there were calls that were and weren’t made on both sides that should and shouldn’t have been but at the end of the day, one team won and one didn’t .  The scoreboard said Tigers 7 Cornersville 6 at the end of the game and that’s what counts. 

On another note,  Dunlap supported our team going to the game and come home from it as well so you’d be hard pressed right now to find anyone that wouldn’t support them from our town.  It meant a great deal to our guys.

Cornersville should prepare for the wildcat ran by Petty- keep 20 In front of the safety at all time. Every close game TC , SP and GB have all been from the miracle chunks to number 20 who slides out and past the defender. If Whitwell gets behind put two safeties back and keep the plays in front of you- that is their go to play and I guarantee you it will happen! Ashworth will start and will play but will be limited and will not play the entire game. 

 

 

Dang...  drank the haterade much?  Can’t even pull for the county team, sad.  Not that you’re giving up any secrets as I’m certain they’ watched films day and night, but still.  That’s ok, to each his own.  However,  these kids have more than earned the respect due them, regardless of whatever hard feelings you’re harboring for any adult.  It will take a team of miles to keep Ashworth out of the whole game, is.

Don’t know exactly what you’re referring to, but I don’t know of any coach or fan that hasn’t said something at one time or another (on here for example)that they shouldn’t have, but I can tell you one things for sure,  this week isn’t the time for airing it out.

Question for the Whitwell folks. Have they played on turf this season? It shouldn't make a difference, but for some if not used to it or haven't seen or played on it, it is different. Just my thoughts.

Yes.

How is ashworth? Will he be ready to go by Saturday?

Knowing Warner,  you’ll never really know until he’s physically removed from the game on Saturday, if that has to happen.  Sitting out last night was pure punishment for him.  Just praying for healthy athletes on both sides before, during and after the game.

That's it ladykee. As a realist, if Petty is out, we probably lose this game. If we have to play next week without our QB, we will show up and play the hand we are dealt. Hope you didn't take that last post as disrespectful because it wasn't intended that way. I just meant to say that if 23 plays, Whitwell more than likely loses.

Not taking anything away from Hudson but you didn’t even hear from Thundur #4 last night or Jarren Thames #7 or John King #21 who stepped up in a Big way when Wingo was out and made plays happen.  Stewart #20 showed a good bit of his caliber but not all.  Size wise we were lacking somewhat but our guys make that up in several ways.  Greenback as defending state champs are definitely given their due recognition but I hear #23 being out as the key factor for the loss repeatedly.  Respect to both teams for a great game.

No respect from Chattanooga sports writers last nights game is on page 4 of the paper sports editor from SP. Whitwell has beat TC at the creek bank SP twice now defending State Champs. We will find a way to beat last years state runner up then maybe we will be on page 2 of paper

It’s time.  Time Free Press did have Tanner’s catch last week though for us though.

Well if y’all think y’all could do better in 3A then move on up. Enjoy this year cause after this it’s gonna be a tough season and plus I’m sure whitwel will only have 30 people in the stands when they start stinking 

Thank you, we will gladly enjoy this season, as several school records have been made, and why not.  Every team had to start somewhere, sometime, somehow so why not us?  Give these boys their due. Stand back and look at what they’ve accomplished so far.  Wouldn’t  you be proud if it was you/your team? Say what you will but whatever happens Saturday, Whitwell has made believers out of those naysayers (whether they’ll admit it or not).  If they stick to the basics of what for them this far,  it will be another great game, one for the history books.  Love my Tigers!

If Ashworth is 100% healthy, I’ll take Whitwell. Should be a good game. Wingo and Petty need to run the ball every play too imo.

Preach... along with Tanner and Thundur!!  Hard to single just one.   All have great “legs”.

What a game ,nobody beating the cardiac kids. 

 

 

Cardiac kids is correct.  May I use this in the future?  I’ve needed extra blood pressure meds for the past two weeks.  Great games both times on both sides of the field.  Our kids have played together from PeeWee Football just like most and to finally see their love for the game produce this kind of result almost leaves one speechless.  From first downs to penalties back to touchdowns, to fans cheering for you and against you, to hearing the final horn blow at the end of the game only to realize you won and you've made school history once again and the State Championship is within your grasp,  it’s simply Amazing.  Sorry to talk so proudly when technical details are usually the norm, but  this quote just seemed to fit.

Come on man, let the butthurt go!! But how could you not mention the Cookie Jar Cafe?

If it’s pizza you’re after, then go to the Chef in Whitwell.  It’s good pizza and it’s two for one.
