The week of fall break DB football did not practice mon-thurs. They did practice that Friday evening and again sat morning. Throughout the season practice mon-wed then walk through thurs morning off that evening then game day Friday. Film Sunday I hesitate to say optional but most not present.
Please reference the 6a teams still in playoffs along with the 2 4a teams on their schedule,, I think you will find not the same commitment.
DB players are not as recruitable as players from Knox area due to the fact they
- lose substantial weight and strength during season
- lose desire to continue to play due to poor leadership
- lose period
- start with lesser skill set
Everyone should want to play in that magnificent stadium with that outstanding band. Absolutely best in the area. Good players gravitate to the better programs.. reference GV, Eliz, Alcoa, Maryville, Bearden.. check rosters with kids outside the zone.
DB will remain mediocre as long as staff, approach, and mindset remain mediocre. Kids are the ones that suffer the most from Christian's pathetic performance as a coach, leader, mentor, motivator, and representative of Dobyns Bennett. He is an insult to what DB stands for.. time for change.
