kev....if u play or coach i would hate to be on ur team...i am apart of the 3-6 tigers and i can safly say that even if we have to play catholic or whoever they want to throw at us we would never quit...the record may not show it but we hav done some good things

Good Luck friday night the tigers have done some good things this year...amazing what a difference a competent head coach can make

Neither...it was to make a point that NO ONE wants to be 4th obviously. All Gibbs had to do was win that game and they didn't. The fact that PF did win finally actually opened up the entire bottom tier of the region for the 4th place spot. Now that the dust has settled it's all on PF to grab it if they can beat Claiborne. I'd like to see Gibbs sneak up on Seymour, but that ain't gonna happen.

 

I could kick PF while they're down, but what fun would that be? And the only way that Catholic doesn't score 80 is if they call off the dogs...and the mercy rule starts midway through the 2nd quarter. They are that good.

Think just a minute kev, I bet you could ask every player and coach for PF or Claiborne and they would all want to go to the playoffs, no matter who they're playing. In my opinion Seymour and Rutledge or whoever finishes 2-3 wont have it one bit easier than whoever finishes 4th. Its even big news when the 1 seed in region 1 wins against the 4 seed from region 2. you follow it just like the rest of us. No matter where your seeded from region 1 your probably going to get a whooping,, but it still beats sitting at home.............

The Tigers played themselves into contention with their first win in the last 11 region games. They'll finish 4th if they can avenge last season's 74-27 thrashing at the hands of Claiborne. Gibbs still gets in if Claiborne wins because Claiborne is mathematically out of it.

 

So after being left for dead, the Tigers control their own destiny...which means Catholic will probably beat them 80-0 in the first round... /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

So did you start this thread to brag on the Tigers or laugh at them?

It doesnt matter who he hires, when you refuse to run the ball you might win maybe 0 times out of ten.....King Michael proved that didnt he?

Thanks, Make that 7-1

Hey quick, are there any other former east tn coaches on staff at e paulding? A friend of mine was planning on joining coach Reid's staff. havent talked to him since and was just wonderin.

i don't know ...i thought with the spread offense that they would really get into it and everynbody was getting to touch the ball ...i can remember 1 scrimmage where paul threw 5 touchdown passes to 4 or 5 different receivers and at passing camp(UT) everybody was getting receptions....i don't know what happened between then and now .....it looked like everybody was having alot of fun with it...i don't know kids are different these days

Think back a minute coach, the problems started when the team got back from camp. The majority of the defections happened after camp and I noticed a different attitude among some of the players. I dont know what happened up there, but things were looking pretty good until then.

Can they match up with Knox Catholic or Fulton? Like always, to win 3A you've got to go thru region 2

Both teams have played killer schedules so far, with that being said, I cant see Alcoa losing 3 tight ones. Their luck, if luck has anything to do with it, has got to change and I think they are good enough to make it happen. Alcoa by 4

You didn't see my revision, but I will say I don't know whether or not the PF coaches are among the most respected. I could continue on about the lack of courtesy shown while at Tiger Stadium a few years ago when I was doing stats and got a "get lost" look when I was about to sit down with our radio broadcaster.

 

I see no need to beat a dead horse any longer.

A "get lost look" ????? pot,........meet kettle

Some valid points have been raised by almost everyone during this discussion. I must admit that I am a PF fan so here comes my 2 cents... Leonard, I really enjoy your views. I feel like you see things in black and white much the same as I do. You're right in your talent assessment. At the skill positions we are woefully lacking. We have only 2 people on offense who are a threat and one of them is playing a position he cant play. (no hands) Defensively, I don't feel we have the speed at linebacker to play the 3-5. Most of the big plays we give up are outside the tackles. Although the long passes hurt us too. Look back to last year, 5 down linemen and 2 backers were reasonably effective weren't they? Why the change? Depth is also an issue, most of the kids are playing both ways and thats hard on everyone, especially the linemen. Getting back to the offense, when no running game exists, how can ANY team move the ball consistently? Brandon Guidry hasn't forgotten how to run and I assure you, Cody Fleming and Billy Wilson haven't forgotten how to run block. Once again, think back to last year. Brandon had over 1000 yards running behind these 2. Paul Harper is a good qb. good arm and smart. Think how much better the passing game would be if a running game was established and opposing defenses had to worry about the run and the pass. At this point, the pass is all that has to be defended. In short, the core group of seniors that have stayed deserve all the respect we can give them. Look at what the have faced in their 4 years at PFHS. The senseless loss af a teammate during their freshman year, The virtual carousel of coaching changes, the mass defections of players this year..it has not been easy for them. Circus type atmospheres are very distracting. But I bet they won't quit. Win or lose, they still have my respect

I realize I'm going back a few years and most of you never seen em play, but the 78 and 79 Alcoa teams were awesome. those of you who did see them would probably agree.

pigeon forge is a joke.they can't even keep a football coach.i'd say whoever wins this game will duke it out with union for the last playoff spot and a 1st round beating in the playoffs.and this is one of the weakest regions in the state.lucky greenville,elizabethton,unicoi,ect don't elect to play down in their proper classes.pfhs should drop to 2a

your unsolicited compliment is greatly appreciated from one end of pigeon forge to the other. will you be attending seymour or gp when you start high school?
