You are right but they made it at other positions. If he was listed as de/dL he probably would have made it.

This is an all state list guys not the all east team.

It was told sequatchie has tried since 2016 to get that scheduled but whitwell is the one who doesn’t want to. Guess that 60 something points they hung on them in ‘16 upset some people in red. But those games these last two yrs would have been good ones.

Sequatchie should have a good year. But I would also like to have seen them keep meigs. But meigs picked up s.pitt so maybe they are both trying to schedule tougher games to prepare for playoffs.

You sir would also be correct. Just wish they would realize that and quit thinking they started a dynasty

I am seeing a pattern here. Looks like whitwell coach is taking a page out of Casey Tate’s guide to scheduling games. Avoid the valley and any team that is good.

If the kids from Bledsoe moved to whitwell and done things the correct way then I wouldn’t be saying anything in the first place. I am hearing that some kids in whitwell that aren’t getting a chance bc of the Bledsoe kids magically all getting put on same stacked whitwell little league baseball team and getting on football field bc parent is involved in the league are quitting or looking to go to other towns to get a fair chance. Would understand if was select teams but these are rec leagues. So which kids will be there in middle school and high school. if Bledsoe kids go back bc they get a coach who turns their program around and kids that have quit playing or go somewhere else then your back to same ole whitwell.

Justin Fields transferring from Georgia and is rumored to be interested in joining the Whitwell tigers.

Agree with you 100%. I don’t blame a parent for moving and having their kid play for a different town. But when they don’t move and switch back and forth just to win then go they need to play select or private school. I want to see the rivalry’s and intense games in the valley again. Not a recruiting process to stack a team and decimate another team.

They should just join anyways because kids bounce back and forth between schools anyways so what difference would it make. It’s not really a rivalry like it once was because of select teams in baseball and aau basketball and these kids play together so there is no hatred. Or whitwell and jasper can join as the county school and s. Pitt can just become a city school and absorb hardy. Problem solved

Whitwell is already pulling kids from Bledsoe and other towns to win in the youth leagues so might as well start doing it in high school since all the talent has left. Easy to coach talent instead of coaching up your own kids I guess. All I can say is jasper better get a new coach or all their talent will be gone.

The two I coached. Not sure who you think I am but I have never coached and don’t want someone unfairly accused of saying something.

Whitwell had two good seasons and now they think they are one of the top programs in 1a. Most of the fans I have talked to with any football knowledge know what’s coming next yr and years to follow. Coaching staff was blessed to have a once in a generation senior class with great talent. So next few years will determine if they can coach or they were bailed out bc of the talented kids that surrounding them. That is if coach doesn’t bolt for a another job.

Man you don’t understand what happens after you score a td. If you scored on the drive that was stopped at the one then you would have kicked it off, right. So the second trip in red zone after the punt would have never happened. I don’t recall a third time unless it was after the int and y’all lost yards all the way back to the 50 then punted. And your defense gave up a ton of yards and only 6 points. Bend but don’t break. It’s not pretty but effective. I would rather be called dominated statically and winners. Y’all want to have it both ways. Just be proud you can call yourself champions. Like I said before I am proud of how your kids never gave up which put them in position to win at the end.

The qb wasn’t healthy so no You couldn’t have scored two more. And in that game him being hurt petty was a better option. Think before you reply

If you score on the drive that ended at the 1 then you would have only had one opportunity to score the whole game. the only reason you had a chance to score the one you did is bc your defense made a great stand and forced a punt which was a very bad one and you only had to go 20 yards. So don’t act like the offense was moving up and down the field at will giving themselves scoring chances like c’ville did. Whitwells defense was bend but don’t break and made big plays at the right time

I’m not salty. Just find it humorous that y’all think s Pitt and greenback are the only hard places to play and saying that c’ville didn’t play in tuff environments like Lc and Huntington. Whitwell won in regular season to prevent from going on the road to s. Pitt in quarters is why I think they were able to get past s Pitt in playoffs. Whitwell is the state champ and I’m proud for those kids bc they never quit but any whitwell fan who thinks they could have scored two or three more tds or wasn’t dominated in every part of the game but the final score is living in a fantasy world. Just be happy the luck went your way and be happy for the kids.

IMO whitwell does not go on the road to s Pitt and greenback in the playoffs and still make it to the finals.

I agree with whoever said 5-6 teams could have won this yr. I believe Huntington or lake county could have beaten s Pitt or greenback based on how the championship game was played. Who’s to say whitwell could have gone to Huntington or lake county which people say are two very tuff places to play and won like c’ville. C’ville might not have been able to play from behind and make big plays like whitwell in the 4th qt against s. Pitt or greenback. Both teams earned it to be there and c’ville had opportunities and missed on them. Whitwell had one good one and made it count. Simple as that.

Cville was literally in the red zone the whole first half and could have and should have scored multiple times. They also overthrew a td pass. Might have been smart to take a safety after stopping whitwell on the one yard line and flip the field position and you probably would have never crossed the 50 again and final score could have been 6-2. Whitwell won, enjoy it and be happy but don’t try to say you didn’t get dominated the whole game other than one drive where y’all didn’t score which set up the next drive where you did score on a short field

Let’s not get carried away now. Whitwell scored when they had the opportunity on a bad punt deep inside cville territory. They hung in there and did just enough to win. You can’t put up 24 yds on 13 plays and say you should have scored 2-3 more times. As far as injuries, whitwell looked better with 31 at qb in second half anyways. With everyone else who isn’t banged up some in the 15th game of the season. The only things I would question if I’m a c’vile fan is why not try for a field goal in first half and put whitwell down by two scores and second the refs not measuring for a first down after probably the worst play call going for it on 4 and 4 at your own 12 yard line.

That’s what I figured.

Where is the Qb from Bledsoe going?

I think I would let the coaching staff see what they can do without a once in a lifetime group of seniors who put the team on their back and refused to quit before I decided to join. I also believe it has been said on messages boards those whitwell kids have gone to school and played together since pee wee other than I think #3. So why pull kids from other counties now.

So what happens when the coach leaves and takes another job. Kids just go back and forth like it’s AAU basketball. What happens to the kids in whitwell not getting a chance to play and improve bc kids from other towns are on the field so they quit playing. then coach does leave and kids that came over leave also and your back to 1-9 seasons
