brother, i have not heard anything about Dawson signing anywhere...has he signed anything for college? if he has not done so, shame on the schools for not giving him an opportunity!

well said General...and i know the McClendons through my sons who play football, baseball and wrestle at Eagleville...it was a horrible night when Micah got injured...it was the very next week after we played them at Forrest. I remember the big get together we had at the park, all of Eagleville and Forrest were there to help raise money to help the McClendons...hope this new hire does well for you guys. hope he does his homework!

Are all these Groves players brothers?

Well, good luck to Forrest, he may be a good fit. Lets see what he can do with the team he has coming back in 2024.

seems some schools out here have already been using the "transfer portal," lol

this is true!

that is why i love our K-12 school!!! our kids are already allowed to participate as 8th graders if we do not have the sport in middle school.

and im saying allow them to play even if the official move is only across town but land in another school district. So if a riverdale player moved to Oakland school zone, that player can qualify for the one time move...but after that he will have to sit if the family moves again anywhere in the state of TN regardless of miles moved!

I think the only way a player should be able to transfer is on a legitimate move to another school district...but i would say make sure there is an official move of the entire family or immediate guardian of the kid/kids. then allow them that one time transfer rule to the school they moved to that district of but allow them to play that year. however, if they move again, they will have to sit regardless of the reason that way we do not have kids playing at 4 schools in a 4 year span trying to seek a championship team.

Got ya...well, hope it is someone who will manage his talent better than the last coach did!

Does Forrest have a frontrunner yet for HC? or have they hired already? i may have missed it.

agree, they just find those loopholes!

man, high school football is going to end up just like college...if you can get there you can play!

wow! that is crazy bro...lets see what 2024 brings hahaha

Holy crap, so this stuff is definitely going on so it appears...i guess if you can find the loophole, jump through it. Vanderbilt needs some of those transfers, hahahahaha

i think that is fair...if a kid legitimately moves i think they should be able to play and should not be penalized.

i know, that would be a disaster for sure! anyway, you have great points on the other transfers like the Red Bank RB who is now Oaklands best player, and i did not know that the Boo Carter kid was also a transfer!

ya, i know it was further away then the kids who moved to us...but i thought it was a rule if you transferred in the state and played a sport at the school you came from and are going to play that same sport at the new school you had to sit...i may be misunderstanding the rule...all i know is our players cannot play until 2024. maybe they should just give a one time transfer to kids prior to their junior year or something, lol...heck i dont know...pretty soon their will be legal betting on high school games lol.

Did not know that...and also...the Red Bank RB who transferred this summer to Oakland!? and he got to play, you tell me what is going on with that! One of Red Banks best player with multiple big time offers transfers as a junior to Oakland! but the thing is, he got to play this season...and i am not hating on the kid for wanting to be at a better football school or whatever, i am just saying keep it fair with the rules that are in place. the poor kids who transferred to our small 1A school had to sit a full year because they moved and then where denied to play until 2024! if the TSSAA is going to do this to kids who only get one chance at high school sports, they need to be across the board with one rule!

We had two kids (brothers) transfer during the off season because they legitimately moved... however, the TSSAA did not allow them to play because they played football at the other school as freshman...they are not 5 star guys, heck they probably would not have even started but they still could not play so they both lost their sophomore years! I really think that sucks for the kids, because they cannot control where they move! but i highly doubt that Pitt is doing any illegal recruiting, they don't have too, people want to play for winning teams!

This is a great pic!

Eagleville will have 46 players returning...we had one of, if not the youngest team in 1A this year, and losing only 8 seniors off this years team, and some of them did not start. The majority of the offense, and majority of the defense all return...we will see how it plays out with incoming players and transfer students and also our players from Central...i think they we get out of second round playoffs in 2024. Then who knows...we will see. But good luck to all the teams in 2024, may it be a great season and a healthy one for all the kids! That's what is important!

I am with ya on that...especially how close that first game was! should be a great one to watch!

Bro, the turnover battle is going to be what is going to lead to some upsets this week!!! i think most of these teams left are pretty even...so whoever can force the fumbles or get an interceptions, or maybe the team with the best special teams big plays wins
