  1. I think the game was an AMAZING game & WB shouldn't hang their heads. Yes, we would have loved to have won. Especially since this was the closest chance WB has had to winning since 1999. However, what's done is done. Now we need to start prepping for Farragut. GovMan, what are your thoughts on this outstanding football game????
  2. Found this bit of information and thought I would share. Here's the link for the weekly High School Heroes episode on Volunteer TV. Meadows and Quarles both appear to discuss the game Friday night and John Brice, Mark Packer, etc. make their weekly picks. Quite interesting.... Let me know what you think. http://www.volunteertv.com/sports/headlines/10056846.html
  3. I thought I would share a piece of an article I stumbled across today. It's written by Wes Boling from Volunteer TV. "I love Friday nights." "I love sports, especially at their purest level. The players are paid only in pride, and athletic directors are more concerned with scheduling the school rival at an advantageous time than they are about selling t-shirts. There's still nothing like watching a scrawny, pad-burdened letter-jacket wearer push aside a stubby, stocky linebacker whose dad and grandpa played on the same field, still as spotty as ever because the timeless janitor is too old to remember where he put the keys to his tractor -- but you can bet your mouthpiece he remembers the score from every battle against the team's crosstown foe. The lights are never fully functional. The scoreboard is missing a bulb or two. The cheerleaders haven't quite perfected their basket tosses, but the hormonious boys in the front row don't seem to mind. The PA announcer's mic is a little too juiced, his accent a smidge too caustic. But this is football. It is torn jerseys with oversized sweatholes. It is sweat saturated with the salts of sacrifice and sentiment. It is an undersized offensive lineman compensating for his dwarfishness with adrenaline-inspired hatred for the boys wearing the other color. It is brushing hands with those very foes after the game, nobly kneeling alongside them for a postgame prayer regardless of the drubbing they gave you five minutes ago. It is anything but a business. And yet there is no more reliable economy than the treasure of untainted enjoyment filling the hearts of young men as they lay substandard blocks and drop wobbly spirals. Such passion is enough to put the local ministers in serious jeopardy. It is enough to resurrect the sleepiest towns. It is enough to last a lifetime if accompanied by innocence." "And that's why Friday nights will always be special."
  4. It's great to be back on here again. It's been awhile. I have to cheer 4 wb as always this weekend. It'll be a tough game, but I believe if there is ever a year to beat Maryville this is the one to do it. I'm excited about making the drive home to cheer the Governors to victory. Make us proud boys!!! /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> WB 17 MHS 14
  5. I think William Blount and Heritage will battle it out for the #1 seed this year for the District Title. Maryville will be in the top 4. Farragut will be in there too. How are the rest of the teams shaping up in the district?
  6. I want to congratulate two young ladies. Ms. Angela Puleo and Ms. Danielle Sampley. Angela signed with UGA last week to pursue her collegiate career in Basketball as a Lady Bulldog. Danielle signed last week with UK to pursue her collegeiate career in Track and Field as a Lady Wildcat. Congratulations to the both of you! You make this former Governor very proud!
  7. I just wanted to say that I have had the privilage of meeting Ms. Laura Peters, and she is an amazing servant of Christ. She always has a smile on her face. She will make a wonderful elementary teacher one day.
  8. Angela Puleo is definitely one of the best girl basketball players I have seen in a long while (and the best to have ever come through William Blount in my opinion). . . But we can't forget about Cait McMahan from a couple of years ago. Go Govs.!
  9. It's that time of year again! Time for some Blount County Basketball! I know many of you are just as excited as I am to get the season started. I need some clarification.... is the jamboree tonight or tomorrow night at William Blount? What time is tip off?
  10. Red Rebel, I will back you up on Coach Gordon being called Squirrel. Back in the day when I was at WB . . . we called Coach Gordon... Gordo. Go Govs!
  11. I read about the calls the DB fans/coaches/players are talking about. Here's a link to the newpaper in the TriCities area and what they have to say about it. http://www.tricitiessports.com/default.asp...rts&he=.com GO GOVS!
  12. GovMan, Love the comments. WB definitely does not need to look past the Admirals and I believe they won't. The boys are fired up and will be ready. Willie B by a TD. Go Govs!
