  1. I think OS comes out motivated and it will be a much closer game... but Coalfield is too deep on offense and defense, and the Jackets should win by 2 or 3 scores...
  2. Carter County paper, by any chance? LOL.
  3. I wouldn't be counting chickens before they hatch yet. Oakdale's got a very potent offense. Elisha Davis can throw the ball well when needed to. Nehemiah Cooney, Aaron Dunlap, Jacquez Ashley, Timmy Holder, and Joseph Summers are all great offensive weapons and guys like Nelson Allen on defense give Oakdale a decent shot... This is gonna be a test for the Landers. I'm hoping for a good game and looking forward to making the trip up Roan Mountain for this one.
  4. Sunbright in 2000 against Lookout Valley was a #4 seed beating to a #1 seed... The Tigers had an undefeated regular season that year, were supposed to play South Pitt but like 2 or 3 days before the game, the Pirates get booted from the playoffs, Lookout Valley goes in at 2-8... and beats arguably the best Sunbright team ever in the first round of the playoffs.
  5. I was not at that scrimmage, unfortunately. I probably won't get to actually see much on Greenback until either the Coalfield or Oakdale games. I know they were really young last year and are by the looks of things better in terms of what's coming back but the jury is still out on their current coach and whether he can get Greenback to the prominence they have had most of the previous 35 years.
  6. The one I went to had Wartburg, Tellico Plains, and Jellico...
  7. No doubt Meigs has a powerhouse over there. Thing is the gold ball is gonna go through West Tennessee. That tends to be how 1A and 2A football in this state shakes out. Not dissing the Tigers. Just telling it like it is like the late Howard Cosell.
  8. Seems to be pretty wide open this year in 2A. I guess if I had to pick, I'd lean towards a West Tennessee school winning it all. Meigs County should be a factor and Hampton is traditionally strong, but you can't dismiss Trousdale or even Watertown.
  9. In my journalism career, I only crossed paths with Murphy once when doing travel baseball. Seemed like a nice enough guy. Hope he enjoys his retirement.
  10. Seen one come back from 29 down to lead by 10 with 2 minutes left... and lose on a last-second field goal. Craziest game I have ever covered.
  11. This. 100 percent this. Metro areas are almost always gonna have more resources to offer and talent to pick from than your rural schools do.
  12. Yeah, Harriman had some good players last year, too. Not sure who they return, though, right off the bat.
  13. Sunbright lost 7 or 8 seniors and their coach went back home to Scott High. Coalfield will return Alexis Morrison but I don't think they return a lot else. Oneida's probably gonna be the top seed out of that district, but don't be shocked if Wartburg is a dark horse. They have a lot of really good young talent. Not quite as good as Oneida, but they'll compete.
  14. I understand the reasoning, but in 2022, you just can't do that kind of thing anymore. Union County has never really been a football powerhouse and the only remote stability they ever actually had was when Kerr was there. Sweetwater is hit or miss. When they have talent, they really have it. When they don't, they don't.
  15. 7 on 7's are really hard to gauge on how good or bad a team is going to be. That said, I was there and from what I saw, they seemed to pass the ball ok. I don't know how much Coach Harper will pass it come time for the regular season, but they have some weapons there. I still think they're a year or two away from making serious noise, but I fully expect them to be a playoff team this year.
