The only day DB takes off is Saturday. Film, 4 practices & game the other days. Practiced 3 days Fall break week so only missed 1 practice which is normally Thursday walk through.

Didn’t stay a year at Maryville. Left before season started & went to Carson Newman. Interesting he’s at Bearden now

Gib was the starter all spring and summer until the 1st scrimmage. Had trouble with sideline signals and calling plays and turnovers. Hurd moved to QB1 at that point

Devils by as many as they want. I saw an unemotional team Friday at Farragut and one that was definitely not ready to play. And predictable play calling--again

DB run game looked good & without starting center. Passing game was inconsistent. Central did absolutely nothing on offense outside of a couple of QB runs. They look down compared to last years scrimmage.

usually the last 2 weeks of school before finals week

Dabbs was the exact same thing as they were together in November. Poore agreed to same suspension and then back pedaled on it. Not surprising as he's not afraid the go against what's ethical (and flirt with T$$AA rules) if it means Ws. or give in to mommy's telling him their kid will transfer if he doesn't play

His mugshot has been making the rounds

Gillespie won’t be back until the games in Asheville probably. Should have been dismissed from team from what I’m hearing.

DB streams home games on Youtube.

new competition band performance at halftime this week -- sure it will be a snoozer though

Agree that the team seems to be really playing "as a team" and depth is there across the board. Game 6 forward will tell the tale though. And not at LINEDAD but in several threads folks are complaining about the schedule - -I don't want to see them playing Crockett and Volunteer either, but you have to play who will play you. When the region was redone(and it would be worse if Wm Blount hadn't asked to move over) the Knoxville schools that had been in the region wouldn't play DB. Alcoa refused to redo the contract. Have asked Maryville and Elizabethton for years and they wont agree to play. These 2 years came down to Volunteer or 9 games(which makes no sense for Betsy not to want to play because they only have 9).

Thought it went well. Oline was physical but had some busts. RBs ran hard and looked fast. Big QB looked good. Dline & LB were physical—Central couldn’t run the ball. Secondary gave up a long TD and some other longer passes. Played it like a real game not just x number of plays. DB 21-7 with 1s & 2s. 35-14 overall

yes -- Unicoi also lit up Elizabethton both days. They looked really good. Real football practice started today so we'll see what happens.

After watching the 7v7s, the secondary looks worse than before and regressed over the 7v7s. They looked decent vs Powell but Unicoi torched them twice last week. Maybe they can get it together over the next month and 3 scrimmages. Offense looks like it will be explosive -- and it better be based on what I've seen so far.
