Rollins carried that EHS team last season. Looking towards this season, it will be many players spreading the wealth. What’s scarier? Not knowing where the ball will go? Or knowing and STILL not being able to do anything about it? No Rollins, no Roberts, no Gudger, no Galespie. It’s 2022. It’s the next chapter, for everyone. It’s why high school football is the best IMO. Watching young boys become young men and mature into special people is rewarding and entertaining. Our programs have cycled a lot of quality people through their ranks. I’m just excited to see the next generation step up.

Size...GOB. Great ole big’n!!!

Football is a game. And wise men we call coaches use it to teach values and life lessons to young men. I know I was taught a lot over 30 years ago. And I will NEVER forget those lessons. They will do me more good than any Gold Ball ever could. (But it would have been nice to have one)

I’d say top 3 defensive teams in Cookeville this weekend were Maryville, Alcoa and Elizabethton, in that order. We took the pass away from Nolensville and made them one dimensional. We were built to stop Greeneville’s run game so a running team just plays into our hands. And once we get a lead you can count on a heavy dose of Maupin and Rollins and our O-Line to burn clock. I loved how coach Wilson got all choked up talking about the 4th and goal play. It shows he really loves his kids and cares about them. Classy program you got there. Good luck next year.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And hey, that formula works. The biggest difference I’ve seen in Betsy and all of the other teams that have bettered them can be summed up in just one player....Youngblood! He is the mold for all football players in my opinion. The weight room does not lie. Focus and desire. Lung capacity is great. Speed kills. But you add POWER to that equation and Gold Balls start dropping out of the sky. Hey. We ain’t too proud.

You are always a class act sir. Thank you from Cyclone Nation. We look forward to getting back to work and visiting your house next season. It’s going to be a hard road next year. Got you on the road, then if we make it to qtr finals it’s either probably you at our house or AC on the road. A lot of different scenarios to play out but a trip back to state means being road warriors next season with this home field going to the other districts. We need to travel well as fans and take back that home field advantage for our boys. Just hoping 4A won’t be a Thursday game.
