Is Basin playing Polk this week or SP?

Going into this season I have my eyes set on a few players from multiple teams in Region 3.

South Pittsburg: You guys already know...

De'Andre Kelly- RB that received a decent workload last year due to Tipton/Frame injuries. Performed well and is now a year older.

Javien Beene- Defensive stud in the secondary. Plays sideline to sideline.

Hunter Frame- Showed immense potential last year but battled the injury bug. Looks to have a good season in an offense that has two terrors at RB on the field at the same time.

Brayden Sanders- An often overlooked, underrated QB in 1A because of SP's ground attack. He is a tremendous leader, great decision maker, and shines when he gets the opportunity to pass the ball around. 

Jayshawn Hubbard- Played big time football in skill positions on a star studded skill team. He looks to be the team's utilitarian. Kid can play anywhere and compete well. 

Sale Creek: Hungry sleeper that has the potential to make some noise this year and with a few clutch plays, they could finally earn a home playoff game. 

Brandon Race May- Big All-State OL that will definitely post some highlights.

Maddoux Beason- Often overshadowed by May, but definitely deserves credit and praise as a good offensive lineman.

Braden Penny- Excellent athlete with some serious wheels. He's got the twin towers up front this year to protect him and should post a great season so long as he has athletes to throw to. Sale Creek needs to let this young man make plays and steer away from what is typically a lackluster ground attack against decent opponents. 

Copper Basin: Locked and loaded with one of the best teams I've seen in years, athletically. CB's battle this year will be a mental battle. Totally capable of competing with, and beating, every team in the east.

Bryson Grabowski- 3rd year starter at QB. All-State. Posted a great season last year, but needed to get in the endzone a few more times relative to pass attempts. He's a year older, has an older OL, and athletes all around him. Should be the best QB in the east. 

Chance Rollins- Tough, intelligent anchor of the OL. I look forward to watching him bully some defensive linemen this year (and maybe a few LB/DBs). Overall, likely the most physically and mentally sound player on the roster. 

Timothy Fair- Incredibly gifted athlete. Capable of posting many TFLs against sweep heavy teams and always gets a few picks. 

Joe Boggs- Junior linebacker entering his 4th year in a starting role. He's grown over the off season and is just as big if not bigger than his older brother (for those of you that remember Dylan Boggs). Has an excellent understanding of the game and should prove a total asset leading the defense. 

Sebastian Baliles- Untested RB that received a few snaps in bad situations last year. I look forward to seeing what he is capable of because CB needs more production in the rushing column if they want to beat people. 

Eli Patterson- Linebacker in a corner's body. Should get some reps at OLB this year to sure up the run defense, while hopefully grabbing a pick or two. 

 

You seem to like that Rollins guy, you must have seen him play a lot.

You can’t mention the Cougars without mentioning running back Sebastian Baliles the kid is a work horse. There are many other players that I could mention as well who I believe will have great seasons! 

I agree, i'm really excited to see what kind of year he has.

Good questions. I'd say SP will have a few.

I'm sure SP and GB will have some great players, always do. They both have great programs going from little league all the way through high school.

These are who I think will be the standouts at Gordonsville that people may hear about.

Darrel Holt - RB Gordonsville

Randall Ray - DL Gordonsville

Grant Underwood - LB Gordonsville

Tyler Gregory - WR/DB Gordonsville

Wyatt Pemberton - WR/DB Gordonsville

Lucas Carter - DL Gordonsville

 

Did Gordonsville  have many starters return? I never heard if they had several senior leave or if they were young last year. They started out rough at the first of last year but started playing tough at the end of the season. I seen the Basin/Gordonsville game and they seemed like a good physical group. Good luck on the up coming season. 

Who are some of the top players to watch for in 1A this year from the east? What players do you think will be that wow factor for teams this year? Who's the top player in each position from the east?

Glad to see you come out of hibernation Narco!

Just now getting out to civilization for the summer. Now its time to enjoy some good ol' Coacht. 

Its a big game in the county. Seems like there has always been a feud between West Polk and East Polk. There isn't much they agree on. lol

 Qb1 will have a great year at Basin,  if everyone stays healthy. I think we will see a lot better play from the O-line this year. I'm also really excited to see the run game this year. The RB has packed on a lot of strength and speed, his foot work is unreal. Could be a big season for Basin.

As far as the Polk/Basin game, I think it will be a really good game. Polk will have Eddie Lamb back this year from his injury in the preseason last year, that kid is good and can be a game changer.  I think Basin will come out on top though.

Ronto might not play much but when he is in, he is making plays. He also seems to be a team player and does whats best for the team at the time. Very deserving young man from what I've seen. Good job to all those nominated but Ronto is the only one I've personally seen play. 

I'm confused, is South Pitt playing Greenback or Jo Byrns this week???

Gordonsville is 5-0 against Basin in playoffs

Anyone know where a good coon/possum dog is for sale??? Need something to keep my boys  busy after Football season is over.

Thanks for that info and I remember that name very well now. How is he doing now? I know for a fact he was the best kicker and punter I have ever seen on SP field for sure. I think he caused it to rain one night with one of those sky high punts.  Dude was awesome for sure. 

He's had a lot of health issues and had a battle with cancer for a bit but he's tough as nails and stubborn as they come. He will probably be standing around with me over next to the field house if he shows up. I'll be wearing the badge standing around the field house. He loves to talk about the good ol' days

I remember back in 1985 when we went there to there place and beat them 18-3 on a cold night. That was a very good game and I think that was the year they lost a athlete that was there punter I know and had many looks from college, he had gotton hurt coming to or from the jamboree in a car wreck and I don't think he was ever able to play football again. Maybe someone from CB can shed some light on that bc that was a long time a go.  I do remember a Ledford boy that was a hoss back them. 

Yes sir, that was Keith Crouch. He was a punter and the kicker. The wreck messed his leg up really bad. He was highly sought after. Hes a good friend of mine and will probably be at the game this Friday. Everyone still talks about him warming up kicking field goals before the game and putting them on top of the gym. 

Does anyone know what the overall record is between Basin and SP??? I'm sure its heavy in the favor of SP, but just curious.  SP has always been the team to beat year in and out in this region. Y'all have had a good tradition there and a strong community support of your team and I think that is a big part of having a solid program. When you build an atmosphere like that in the community everyone wants to play and be a part of something good.  

Basin and SP use to be some hard hitting games. 

The best teams in the world have lost to not so good teams before. SP looks to have the next state champs. I'm gonna go with Basin in this one. We might not win but I'm still gonna pull for them. Basin is still a work in progress  but when they play together they could make some big upsets.  Hate on me if you want but they're my pick and my team. GO BASIN!!!!!

1. SP VS Meigs

2. Greenback vs Coalfield

3. Marshall Co. Vs Giles Co.

The rest will most likely be blowouts those are the only really interesting games I have seen.

I forgot about Greenback vs Coalfield. It should be a good game as well. 

Who do you think is the best game going down tonight??? I'm going with SP and Meigs

When i played mid and late 80's Basin was a handful.My Jr year 88 i took one of the worst beatings (physically and scoreboard) i ever indured on a football field.We had just won the state and beat you all 54-24 reg season and 12-0 in the playoffs the year before and graduated 17 Srs,then went there the next year and got hammered.Great to see Basin coming back!!

Its great for everyone when Basin is playing good. Helps the hometown and also the teams we play. A win feels so much better when you beat a good team in an all out brawl for 4 quarters.

Putting Sale Creek in a conversation about region games trying to validate a close game with South Pitt wont fly.Pitt will score quick and often,mercy by half.It is what it is.CB is much better this year but they are alot like OS and Coalfield pretty good teams but SP and GB in the East are at completely different levels.It is what it is.BUT i love the fact CB is on here and talking football again and doing well, i remember a good Basin team coming to GB in 11 or 12 and we put 60 something on them.Dont let our talk change anything sbout how you post or think your team will do till these games are played.Congrats on a great season so far.

We're from Basin, we can take a beating and still talk trash lol. We've grew up being the underdog. I just see a different future coming for Basin football. We have a ton of talent coming up through our rec league.  We also have a shift in the community wanting to support our teams more. I look for Basin to make their first appearance for a state title within the next 5 years. We lost our little league group for awhile a few years ago but it has been built back to a solid program now, which will feed great talent. We've lost a lot of good players to other States. Kids from our area can drive 15 min over into North Carolina and play for a State Championship every other year almost. Its tough to stop kids from doing that.

If Monterey beats Bledsoe Friday night that edge should shift to Monterey. Bledsoe is a pretty good team this year. I know last time Monterey/Basin met it was a very good game. 

I'm just giving the edge to Basin because I'm from Basin lol. I still think it will be a great game between the two. The travel for Basin might be a factor as well. Hard to get a fans to show up that far away. 2 hours and 40 min is tough

We have some fans that say some of the dumbest stuff at the quietest times, by design. It is hilarious. Especially when the non-regulars turn around and try to find out who said that. 

We have one guy that only comes to our games when its gonna be a televised football/basketball/baseball game. He only comes to give the refs as much thrash talk as he can until they kick him out.  LOL
