I believe Tullahoma has plenty of talent and plenty of kids playing. I think their talents are under developed and under utilized. They need to play more to their strengths. Now before you go and ask what are they it's pretty simple to see if you've been to a couple of games. Shasteen, who sees ALL their games, has even touched on it through posts and broadcasts. This team could be better than what they are showing. As fans all we can hope for is improvement from game to game because we aren't coaching nor playing. Hope springs eternal. 

Thanks for the input. Coach Olive still the AD?

Yep.

When you small,  er'body be bigger.

Well Percy what’s the problem with Tullahoma. Lack of talent. Not enough Kids playing. I figured they’d be pretty solid this year compared to last.

No Clay Co for me.

I have Collinwood in my top 10.

AP copied that from mine last week.  

How’s Cloudland just outside the Top 10. I believe that they only have like 16 Kids on the whole team. I understand that they’re tough Roan Mtn Boys but i just don’t see it. I know they had a couple of easy wins but still. .

Sorry Pops,   but imma taking MoCo over Tullahoma this year.  I know it's not always smart to compare scores and matchups, but,  MoCo just beat FC,  and FC beat Tullahoma the week before. 

Smart money on MoCo.

Can’t disagree with “The Man”. You’re probably correct. Be a great game i believe.

Raider fan? Tullahoma would mop the floor with MC? OK. Whatever you say.

Tullahoma is a lot deeper than MC’s first 11. Probably be a close game for the first half. MC has a great 1A team. No doubt. 
But they can’t compete with the bigger schools. Just my opinion

Smh. Complete b.s. FC lost the best talent it's had in 20 years last season. They had all their studs except for Pearson. GTFOH

Check back with me after you play S Pitt. IF you get that far. Yes MC has a great 1A team but they’re no where nearly as talented as City last year. Better coaches. Yes. Championship Talent not so sure.

Not sure how many times FC goes into there 2 deep but FC looks to only have replaced one starter and that was on o-line since the Tullahoma game. I believe its was #63 replacing #76 (injury) so you can blow that smoke up someone else's arse.

Tullahoma couldn't hold #6's jock!

1/2 of Tullahoma fans are coming to MC games instead of that #### show!

Hey I’m a Raider Fan. I’m just passing on what i heard. Don’t know IF it was illness or suspension. . I REALLY Hope MC wins the State. And YES. Dawson White would start for anyone in the State. I pray he stays healthy. Because MC’s chances to get to Chattanooga depend on Him being Healthy.

He threw it pretty good against SP. Of course SP is no where close to MC

S Pitt will regrettably beat MC by 2 Scores easily.

You couldn’t have watched it cause tullahoma handled city  in that scrimmage 

Tullahoma dominated FC in that scrimmage on FC’s field. Fact

On 9/10/2023 at 9:40 PM, Southtowner said:

I'll take those 28 points.  

I understand that FC had 8 kids suspended for the MC game. I think Tullahoma would mop the floor with MC. So I’d Definitely take the 28. IF FC was at full strength this game could’ve easily gone the other way. Don’t think it’s entirely fair to compare FC vs S Pitt and MC.

Naa ,thought about it but his options was gonna cost too much money. He's helping the older brother build fences but hasn't ruled out trying to give it a shot next year. 

Sounds great. He really carried Hampton on his back last season against Boone. David vs Goliath type Game. The Dogs shocked Everyone by the way the entire Team Played. I’m honestly still shocked. 
But that’s why you play the Games. I wish Him well in his future endeavors.

I agree, pulling for the Rangers obviously, but I’d give Jellico and edge at home especially. Unaka will need to play their best game of the year thus far.

Old Pirate would loved to have watched this fued, knowd it would be a goodun. Was the game recorded?

i honestly couldn’t even tell you what’s going on right now. it was expected to take a step back after losing the seniors from last year but it shouldn’t be this bad. it’s just a lack of effort and not being coachable. marion lined up and fayetteville’s coach is calling out the plays and the players still get lost for some reason.

Great talent overcomes very average coaching. Morison wasn’t great by any stretch but Johnson just has been a total disappointment.

If we can take care of Sequatchie County tonight,  I believe we could move up a spot.  MoCo has a good team.  

Agreed. Watched the City Game. I just think they’re a little small and slow in the secondary and at the skill positions. They’re a Senior Team with a lot of experience and possibly the best 1A QB in the State. Plus they have to play most of their O-Line both ways. Their first 11 are awfully good. But they just don’t have much depth behind them. City has athletes and it was a one score game at the half. IF their QB had made some plays on wide open receivers that game could have been really close. City has cut back to like 8 penalties a game from 14 last season but Won with average coaching (I’m being generous) and just out athleted everyone until they faced McKenzie. 11 penalties for 135yrds cost them a State Championship. Sequatchie is a very good 2A school. But I’m betting that S. Pitt wins by 2 scores. 
But since you’ve seen ‘em both play I’ll trust your opinion. I’d actually love for MC to make it to Chattanooga but I’m not betting on atp. An injury or 2 would completely derail their chances.

Com’on South Town YOU know S. Pitt is the Team to beat this year. I do appreciate you Not being a Homer. But S. Pitt would beat the brakes off Moore Co. I know you’ve seen both Play. But I just can’t believe you’re being serious brother.

I’ll pray for you tonight ma’am 

Shockernation i hope you find Jesus because you’re a Rotten Human Being and a Total Prick. . You should find a good Church and Pray for Forgiveness asap. I’m quite sure Jesus still loves You regardless of your stupidity and pathetic attempts to act “tuff”. No one on this site is impressed with your nonsense and petty insults.

Last I checked Coafield is less than 160 enrollment. I don't see how that gets you to 3A.

Excactly. . They’re a Very Small Enrollment School in a Rural Area. The Poster is obviously Nuts.

this is a matchup of a team that usually plays disciplined and is well coached against a team that outtalents people, and doesn't have quite the talent this year. 

Spot on General. .

Obviously, but highly unlikely. I'm guessing it would take a pile of money to move Witten, and even then, he may not be interested in leaving his hometown. It will take several years, but if they have upgraded their youth league the way my friend who works for Parks & Rec says they have, it will pay off. No more dads coaching their sons for a couple of years and moving on.

I Don’t EVER see Witten leaving EHS for SH. Ain’t happening. He’s a legacy for his Grandfather “Father” Dave Rider. And i remember coach Rider coming out to a Friday Pep Rally in the Gym sitting on a toilet on wheels because JC gets its water downstream from Elizabethton’s wastewater treatment plant. 
They referred to us as “Cow Town” and we called them “Sewer City”. It was all in Fun of Course but they are and probably will Always be our biggest rival. It’s always been a David vs Goliath type game. With SH having 4x the enrollment of EHS. We’ve always held our own with SH going back 50yrs. It’s always been called the “Tri Cities” but Rider kept us competitive with the Bigger Schools. The only way i see Witten leaving is to be closer to his brother in Texas or maybe taking a College Job as an Assistant at a Power 5 or maybe ETSU if that opportunity opens up. But there’s just Not enough money to get Witten to coach SH.

Hampton actually returned several but they lost a few quality players, Injuries and a few quitting has hurt them ,they'll probably improve as the season goes on, just gotta keep what they have healthy.

As far as East bias,it happens every year but Etown would be my #1 in 4a, They look the part.

Are the Cyclones for Real? I’m really surprised with the skill players they lost last season. But i am Impressed with their first 2 Wins. Maybe the Greenville Game will be the best of the Season. 
I need to watch their utube channel and see how they look. But I’m actually a little shocked atp.
