  1. Speaking as a fan of WR. I see no improvement. I could write a full page of issues that I see and have heard with my own ears. Everyone has hashed out the why's. Lacking talent. No youth programs or middle school programs. No summer camps. No commitment from coaching staff other than the minimum. You get what you put in to most anything that you do. Take Elizabethton and Greeneville. They were historically good programs but not state champion level programs UNTIL someone made the change. Now look. What changed? The coach? The system? My guess is the folks at Besty and Greeneville that are running the show knew what they wanted and made it happen. The folks at our schools haven't made that commitment.
  2. I agree, the entire area is weak minus Elizabethton and Greeneville. I also realize that West Ridge has had some major injuries but minus year #1 where the team was loaded with seniors, they can't compete with Science Hill and DB and IMHO they should, let alone thinking about competing at state level. I get that it takes a culture change from top to bottom to make a winning program. I'm not gonna harp on coaching since I'm just a fan that puts zero time into the program other than just purchasing season tickets yearly, but the offense, play calling, and fundamentals are lacking. I guess I did harp a little. WR's schedule every year tells me they aren't serious about creating a winning culture. I commend DB and Science Hill for scheduling Knoxville teams. I truly believe that West Ridge is just happy to get to the playoffs and that's it. There isn't a mindset of "let's win them all" or what it takes to even achieve that and yes, I've heard that from people in the program. I think they are good men leading the team but I'm just not sure. When West Ridge first opened, someone on CoachT said they are making West Ridge into South 2.0. Nope, it's Central 2.0. I hope everyone has safe travels and it's an injury free game. I know the bears are "loaded for bear" so to speak.
  3. To say I'm concerned about the direction of West Ridge's football program is a huge understatement. Bradley Central will have no trouble in this game.
  4. He definitely has grown throughout the season. Hopefully he heals up and gets better during the off season.
  5. West Ridge nursing a bunch of injuries as well. Starting QB put for season. Didn't play at SH last night.
  6. You're right and you've said it for years and frankly it's obvious.
  7. When DB figured out they could pass the ball with ease against the WR defense, it was over.
  8. West Ridge should finish the season 6-3 with wins over Crockett, Mo-East and Tenn. High and the losses being Jeff Co and Science Hill. William Blount's fans should be happy simply because there record is better than it has been in a few years BUT they did lose to a mediocre team. West Ridge is fairly stout against the run but are absolutely lost when it comes to defending the pass and their tackling is very suspect. I don't know if the coaches decided to drop 8 and rush 3 but I saw NO pressure applied to the WB QB practically all night long. I, and that's saying a lot, could make a completion with that amount of time to throw the ball.
  9. Glad for the win BUT, there are so many issues surounding this program. I'll just leave it there. Kept up with the Indians score. Glad to see them get the win.
  10. Final West Ridge 49 William Blount 38 Go Wolves!!!!!
  11. To my knowledge, no the game was declared a no contest
  12. I cannot like this enough, however DB will adjust better and pull away.
