I have coached against LC in the playoffs and that is one of the best HS football communities to go to. Was not a empty seat in the house on the home side. If I were coaching at another school i would ask to play LC every year you can only get better by playing them and your fans can take a few things from the dedication that they show in LC.

I looked at the score this morning and well took it upon my self to no longer post about East Hickman after today. Good luck Eagles. I sure hope you get one this year. Closes game so far is 12 point loss and kids are quiting ummm not sure where that goes to but I did not produce and well you see where I am now. And no 2 wins does not make it a dynasty but it was two wins more than the Football team. Nothing against the Football players. But we were alot closer in our losses than they have been in most of the football games. Good luck guys.

Someone tell me what happend to some of the boys that were supposed to be helping with the team this year. Where is Gossett? Was he not supposed to be the QB for the future. Had a great arm, not so much in the head sometimes. But great arm. At some point you have to stop playing for the coaches and start playing for you self. Dont worry about what they will say. No coach will ever get mad if you are giving your all and still mess up. When you lolly gag then we get mad. Keep your Head up boys. The best is yet to come.

I am actually going to be coaching at Smyrna High this spring straightuptheguy and ludawg. Was going to be in School and help out at MTSU but could not get the funds to get in. I hate that this is going on at East, last year there were a few guys that quite but to go from high spirits and 65 to 30 and dropping is not a good sign. Kinda glad I did not coach football and I was asked to leave. I do miss the kids at east but did not like being 2nd fiddle to a subpar football program. At least I got 2 wins.

I feel real bad for all those boys. I know they have been working real hard since the spring and were egar to get a win. I know it will come soon. Just keep your head up and keep working hard. I lost my temper and did the same thing to some of them and should have not done that. They are just high school kids and not professional athletes. Being a bully does nothing but make the kids hate you and not want to play. Keep your head up East your day is coming.

Thank you! I have seen the conversations on here turn into fights and other things. Just trying to keep my kids focused on the goal.

To all East Hickman Players, Students, and Fans: If you would please refrain from getting into shouting matches with other schools that would benefit our program more than having someone on here talking trash. Let us do all the talking on the field. We do thank you for all your support in the up coming season. And to those of you who may see this as a cop out or we are running away. Let me assure you that we are not doing any of that and we will do pleanty of talking on the field. And if you really want to know about a team check www.tbca.org for all the information you need. Have a great season. GO EAGLES!!!! Coach Smith

I think this will be a great and exciting year for district 10-AA. I know that our kids here at EHHS are ready to get going. 32 days till opening day.

Yes all District games are played back to back on Monday/Tuesday.

How is it that a team like Antioch High School who has not lost to a team in the state of Tennessee and whose only two losses came to nationaly ranked teams is only 9th and yet teams who have lost games to teams in this state are ahead of them.

The thing about the numbers you have is that in each number set up there are teams from another Classification with an enrollment that should have them moving up. Such as Maryville should be going up and teams like Glencliff and maybe Gallatin moving down.

As far as I can remember them to be it should be something like this. 1A- 0 to 449 2A- 450 to 680 3A- 681 to 999 4A- 1000 to 1399 5A- 1400 up I could be off by a few numbers but I think that is close. According to TSSAA Maryville should be in 5A but you are right they somehow find a way to stay down.

The AHS vs DCHS games have become a great rival type atmosphere. In 99 there were two meetings both close but won by DCHS. 00' Close game but AHS wins. And now with the teams in different Regions that match up in the playoffs more is at stake. Should be a good game. But Antioch maybe a bit much for DCHS to handle if they can get their special teams fixed. Bears by 10

LC should blow out Ezell-Harding. They have too many injuries to key players. But last time EH was underestimated on a trip to LC EH came up big. But this is not the same team.

I believe that the actual numbers are as follows: 1A- 399 or less 2A- 400 - 699 3A- 700- 999 4A- 1000-1399 5A- 1400+ i could be wrong but I think those might be correct. Who really knows other than TSSAA.
