Not saying your wrong but there has been numerous times this year I’ve heard Hackett or the other coaches yelling where the play was going or trying to move someone to be able to make the play. Yet the players didn’t make the play. Not sure how you can put that on the coaches when they are literally telling them where the play is going. A couple years ago they would do the same thing but the players made the play. So, is that coaching has dropped off or talent has dropped off? Not saying it’s all on the players because it’s not but it comes down to jimmys and Joe’s sometimes. Also as far as them being flat and laying down, did you happen to notice they was 2 offensive lineman down from prior weeks? That could have had something to do with getting beat so bad up front and at times not being able to block 3 with 5.

I didn’t say there was or there wasn’t. I just said what the policy was as I understood it. I didn’t mean to intrude on your eminence.

Wilson County you have to file an out of zone request and it has to be approved. Normally requires some type of hardship, past issues or academics.

I watched Watertown scrimmage both. Liberty Creek has talent but nothing to write home about. QB is good and the RB can cause some problems if he gets loose. Their OL/DL is small and got pushed around by H20. If Smith Co can keep them from passing then they should win big. If they can’t stop LC’s passing game then it could be an interesting game. If SC uses their size up front on offense they should be able grind the clock out of the game early and wear them down late in the game.

Reading over the Smith County / gville boards last week some claimed that because gville had won I believe 3 of the last 5 or something like that they had dominated the series. If we’re looking at recent history, going by gville poster’s standards, then what does that say for this series? Not much of a rivalry as I see it. Unless this week we’re going by the whole history of the series?

At least you admit it and already have the excuse ready for when gville does move up!

What’s the over/under on how many blitzes Hackett dials up this week?

If they moved up voluntarily they would be in a region with big brother across the river and that game would actually mean something. They’re trying to avoid that so they can keep the “small school” stigma excuse a little longer.

Gordonsville will be a tough out as long as they have Plumlee. She’s a sophomore with a strong freshman class behind her. Only question is will experience play in to it. Also in 2A don’t count Watertown out as a dark horse. They only lost 1 senior last year and 2 this year. If pitching stays strong they could sneak up on some people. For sure the most athletic team I’ve seen them field in a long time maybe ever.

Yes. After 2-3 playoff appearances if that tells you anything.

Although they had a down season this year, there is a team in Southeastern Wilson County that may have something to say about that starting next year. I look forward to the battles that’s for sure.

They got a few players back from injury that allowed them to line up in wing t and play smash mouth.

Good post. Although I’m not sure of the ins and outs about why it didn’t work this year. Was it coaching or was it players or a combination. Only the staff can look at things this off-season and figure that out. I’d like to think there is someone on staff that can make this team go offensively IF this year is not the answer as everyone is saying. I’m not a coach just like everyone else on here so I can’t say for sure. There seems to be 2-3 other offensive coaches on staff. Can they call plays or run an offense? Do they want that role? Are they ready for that role? Who knows. Webster is a smart guy and I don’t see him letting his “legacy” at H20, as some like to call it, go out like it did last night. Until next year I’ll just sit back and have my own thoughts and opinions on it all.

If anyone thinks H2O isn’t gonna get Trousdale’s best shot then they’re crazy. Trousdale will play their best game of the year next Friday night. Now is that enough to win that is the big question and truly depends on which H2O team shows up. I feel like they will be ready and well prepared but then again like someone said sometimes I’m just dumbfounded watching them.

Only info I have is from wife’s side of the family who lives there but it’s been rumored Giles will move up to 4a to be able to play more local region games.
