Let's get this one started a week early...I'm out of the loop so I want to hear it all.

I've been waiting for someone to write this one...I love that horn, although, they could just use it on big plays and big hits...not on every 2+ yard gain...

I would really like to hear the Portland White House game...I'm not in the area so my only chance is to listen online...if anyone knows how I could make this happen let me know. I would like to listen to the local Portland radio station, but if it's the White House station that wouldn't be the worst thing.

The most memorable game for me was Portland at White House in 2003...Portland was written off for the year and huge underdogs going into thier season opener. I think only two flags were thrown the entire game, both were 5 yard penelties...players from both teams should've been thrown out, but the refs just looked the other way. Everyone left it on the field that night. The game went down to the last play with White House winning...I don't remember the score.

I've been out of the loop for a while...I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about Portland this year. Other than things that happened in the offseason. Anything about how they stack up against the teams in the region and state.

Personally I think working out year round does help every player to be better in all sports. Weightlifting helps to protect against injury, as well as all types of running. All the coaches of every sport at that school need to get together and deceide when the best times are during the day to practice for that sport. In my experience most of the coaches of other sports, except basketball, are normally football coaches. With that said I don't see where the argument is. I at least practiced year round for football and couldn't wait to get in pads and get to camp. So if coaches have a problem with kids not wanting to get in pads as soon as they can then I think the coaches need to reevaluate the situation.

I did hear from one of my friends that they don't hit like they used to...That makes my stomach turn...Portland football is known for how hard they hit...I'm not putting them down by any means, but if this is true then some of the alumni needs to talk to these guys and get them fired up...

I haven't really heard much coming out of Portland like I have in years past so if anyone has any information on them let me know.....

ok ur right and wrong at the same time i'm gonna say i did play. my senior year was the first year of that defense and i liked it when i first saw the only thing i didn't like was the pass defense that came with it. i agree with you i prefered the 5-2 because it had more lineman and could stop the run but with the guys we had at linebacker and you know you i'm talkin about we had a great run defense and if we could have stopped white house's pass we would have won and i have heard that from several white house players so i agree and disagree with you i am sorry if i offended you...

in case you didn't pay any attention that entire first year of th 3-3-5 all but one or two teams had to pass to beat us because the speed and movement of the d-line. and as for the little comment about there will be more guys suiting up thats bull crap because those guys just can't take the discipline and they shouldn't even be on the team period and i don't see the rules changing anyway because that's why they didn't play if you actually played then you would know this.

pressman you said it. coach perry is a great coach a lot of people have quit in the past because they couldn't take the discipline. i wish coach perry and coach duncan the best of luck at mount juliet. and the 3 play remark is total crap i played for portland when we won state i was a freshman and we worked harder than anyone else in the state there is no doubt about it. when i was a senior we put in all those other formations with no backs and all that i really can't remember them i played on the line so i just blocked but either way there is no way a team with a offensive line that was almost always undersized compared to the opponents could have only ran 3 plays for all those years. so if you can prove me wrong go for it boss...

you ain't kiddin man i played for coach barham and when he was there you gave it everything you had in practice and games if you did that you would start and when you messed up as long as you did it at full speed and still hit somebody he didn't get mad but he let you know about it. he is a great coach. coach chad perry is also a great coach i never played a position for him but he was one of the main weight coaches and he taught us a lot in the weightroom

SPOKEN WELL!!!!

people are gonna do what they want regardless all you can do is try to regulate it... when i started dippin i was 14 and a freshman my coaches dipped but i didn't know it till after camp that year by then i'd already started nobody is really gonna start dippin because their coach does it but the upperclassmen will give it to them... and just for the record i bought the dip myself before i turned 18 and my mom didn't find out till i was 16 and she said you're gonna do it anyway so oh well

i know you can't smoke in the buildings but when i was in high school me and all of my friends dipped at basketball games and we did it in a way that we wouldn't get caught because if we did and the coaches found out about it we had some punishment... i personally started dipping because an upperclassmen gave me half a can of copenhagen i took a dip and i liked it so i kept on doin it.

you hit the nail on the head buddy...besides you can have tobacco products school grounds after 6 o'clock...no matter what

yea Coach Barham and Coach Chad Perry from Portland went down there too

hey bigpun19...i think you were one of those guys who is a neverwas and is mad about not ever playing probably because u didn't give it all u had...in 02 i was on a losing team and i was out for eight weeks with an injury and stood by for 6 games watching my team lose most of those games but i couldn't wait to get in there and play...that winter we worked our butts off so the next year wouldn't be the same we went into the 03 season knowing we could win state we didn't even win the region but i know 9 out of 9 seniors on that team were able to look each other and the rest of the team and coaches in the eye and everybody could tell we gave it all we had and a little more but we still lost to smith co. in the playoffs...so quit bashing players that played harder than you ever could in your mind. i may be wrong about u not ever playing but i don't really care...

and to think people say portland's wing-t offense is one of the worse offenses to run in football...go figure a team would do so good with it...not to mention we are supposed to be a horrible team that chokes it up in the playoffs...thanks PPride for this post

the WING-T portland runs a modified version and has for some time now and we have alot of different looks out of it yes it is slightly easy to defend but when you have 2 or 3 quick strong guards that can pull outside and hit a db and stay on him on one play and then on the next they hit a dt that out weighs him by about 50 pounds or so on a trap block and gets him out of the middle you win games...one more thing how many times in a row has portland been to the playoffs because i quit counting at 11 buddy!!!!!!!! 2000 STATE CHAMPIONS

ok look pass blocking is one of the easiest things to do in high school football

"you couldn't fight your way out of a brown papersack at the bottom of lake erie"..."if i had the size and ability you have now i'd still be playin iin the NFL"(this coach wasn't exactlly the youngest guy on the staff)

it surely wasn't in 99 cuz milan beat portland in vandy for state and their record was 15-0 ours was 14-1

yea i remeber you...you were pretty good but i played for portland 2000-03...i played guard my first 3 years and started at center my senior year...we won state my freshman year and went to the playoffs all 4 years...our biggest game was the white house game in 03 even though we lost everybody fought to the end and the refs stayed out of it and let us go...my family played and coached for white house in the late 70s and early 80s

hey bigswole i'd advise u to do ur homework before u put a post on like that and besides had we been in 4a all those years we would have won and won a lot the region we are in now ain't near as tough as region 4-3a was when us and white house were there not to forget about trousdale co. and smith co. portland is known by how hard they hit and when u hit hard enough u win ball games because u make people think twice about hittin the hole hard or goin high across the middle for the pass the qb put a little too high because you know ur gonna get hit and hit hard
