How will Coach Julian's Red Devils look this fall?

Actually I think Monday is "review day" and finals begin tuesday

Did they do away with Sub-State? I thought the winners of the region games played each other and then they played a sub-state round and then on to Spring Fling.

any word on how practices have looked? how are we going to look for this coming friday? DB will be a tough challenge

eh, just open up your lineman's splits a bit and run mid-line, inside and outside veer.

From what I understand they don't start practice until tomorrow

Halls Usually doesn't have their starting QB in the spring. Their typically still with the baseball team. I don't know about this spring though. I do know that Halls has to replace all their defense and 8 or 9 on offense, so it should be interesting. Halls Scrimages Kingsport DB on May 12 at 6:00 at Halls. I don't know of any other scrimages yet.

Any word on this sicheyation yet?

Any ideas as to what Halls will do this spring? What players will step up or who should fill all those positions left by last year's senior?

Ok, thanks for the info skunk. Just try not to come down here and skunk us. Give us a little hope for this year. We lost a whole lot from last years team.

Anybody know if DB and Knox Halls are still doing their spring and fall home and away deal and if so where and when is the spring game going to be?

I know you asked sneakypete, but I'm going to throw out my 2 cents as well. There isn't any reason in the world Webb should have beaten Powell the past 2 years. Here's a couple reasons for my case. Reason 1: I believe that Webb only had 1 player at 240 pounds this past year and that was that TE, Charlie something(seigers?), they had who was pretty good. Reason 2: I do believe that Powells O-Line easily averaged 270 pounds across that line last year if not the year before and Webb would've been lucky to average 210. Factor in that '04 football season you had 5 or 6 D1 prospects on Powell's squad I believe. Anyway, this past year instead of lining up in I-backs with 2 tights or the power I, Powell was in the spread formation a lot of the time with Smith split out wide. I know the kid is an athlete but at some point in time you have to realize this is not your best option. If you wanted to take advantage of Watts athleticism I could understand throwing in some option or qb keepers ever now and then to keep the defense honest and of course you have to throw the ball some. But 70% or more of Powells offensive play calls should have been running the ball with the tallent they had in front of those running backs. It wouldn't matter really who Powell put in to run the ball, if you're running behind the big hog maulies up front that Powell has had, you won't have to worry about anything. Shoot, run QB sneak every play and gain 5-10 yards. Now, the case for Webb winning is they're disciplined and well well coached. They can run that wing-t to a T. They're pretty good at it I must admit. But that is no excuse for Powell to not be able to put points up on the board at will. In my opinion the ball was dropped by the offense for Powell against Webb the last two meetings.

Ok, points well taken and noted. To be quite honest I don't know a lot about the ncaa and really could care less. that subject of jurisdiction was pretty neat to me so I figured heck, why not throw something out there and see what the response is. Anyways, I read in the news sentinel earlier in the week where the Colorado QB lashed out at the NCAA which I'm pretty sure that article would've been an AP article since KNS doesn't write much of their own stuff but that's beside the point...would you care to voice an opinion on that? I kinda think the QB has a point to an extent, but again, I could care less about the NCAA...they don't have a playoff in D1 football so that within itself is enough of a joke for me.

I would have to disagree slightly with the last part of your statement there. If the NCAA didn't have any jurisdiction over high school kids then there wouldn't be any clearinghouse or close eyes on boosters who interact with college prospects. Another instance might be where a kid decides to go to the NBA instead of college...he never made it to college, but the NCAA clearly has rules against him playing college basketball if at a certain time he changes his mind on going pro instead of collegiate. But my point is that there is jursidiction to an extent overall. Like recruiting can only be done at certain times for certain different stages of recruiting. To me, those things are jurisdiction.

Clay is more of a SG in my opinion...he does have good ball handling skills, but right now I'm sure he's a SG..Can't wait to get out and see Halls play sometime soon.
