It is very interesting to me David how you can speak about watching film, not having thursday practices, and coaching techniques. I understand that there were seniors who did not like the coaching staff, and I am ok with that. There were seniors who do not deserve respect from fans as well for their lack of commitment drive and motivation. David from an insiders point of view we watched film equally if not more than we did under coach Johnson, we had very structured practices last year that of which did not happen under Johnson and discipline was very good last year ie. the situation with the running back you are refering to. David if you want to know what really happened with Titus the player you are refereing to speak to someone other than Titus or his close friends who went home and told lies to their parents about the coaching staff. Titus was released earlier in the year for calling a coach a Mother Fuc***. Is that appropriate for a player to do? I dont think so. Coach Clayton was gracious enough to give the kid another chance and when he quit on his team on a Friday 5 hours before the game it was time to release a cancer from the team. If you remember right the team played better with out him. Oh by the way if you did not catch that TITUS QUIT It has been an eye opening experience for myself this year to hear of the level that kids will stoop to when they feel that they are not getting the ball enough. Plays are not always designed specifically for one person there are progressions that a QB makes and if a player is not getting the ball enough maybe it is because he is not open. David I am sick and tired of you getting on here and criticizing the coaching staff who works their tail ends off every week to prepare the players to be successful on Friday night. We did have more than two practices the week of the Father Ryan game. You tell me what is wrong with having a 1 hour complete walk thru on Friday of the game and letting the players off on Thursday to rest up and go get tutoring in classes that they are struggling in. Only two coaches left when Johnson left a suitable and qualified replacement left a program to take over at Franklin. This coach has a tremendous offensive and defensive mind for the game and he has the respect of all the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshman. It was a shame that not all of the seniors bought into his vision. I know first hand the discipline at Franklin and I can tell you that if you asked any of the coaches they would say that it is better under Clayton. We do not have players missing practice not being punished and then playing on Friday nights, coach Clayton punishes players for having failing grades, he actually runs players for missing practices what a concept. This did not happen under Johnson, I love coach J he is a great coach however until you set down and talk with the Coach Clayton, and actually see how much time he puts in reviewing film and watching it with the players, and scheming for the weeks opponent SHUT YOUR MOUTH. Stop listening to your dad, Big Dog Daddy, The Hewitts, and Titus. The coaches are not out playing Golf like you Fans like to say they are we are spending long hours preparing to win. 4 hour practices are unnecessary. Do you practice 4 hours on the field at UT? No you do not. And dont try to tell me that you do. David if you want to criticize us come criticize the coaches face to face. If you would like to hear another side of the story go talk to some of the coaches that are still at Franklin whom you have much respect for and ask them what is actually going on. Be a mature adult and speak with mature adults about matters that you are not close to. Build up your team get behind the coaching staff and the players and wish them the best the players and coaches are working their tail ends off this off season to build on what happened last year. If you do not want to be a part of it that is fine, if you do then shut your mouth stop criticizing the coaching staff and move on. I do not post very often and in fact I did not know that this was even on here until I got a call from a good friend to check it out. This is ridiculous and should stop right now. I hope that this is the end of it!!!

The truth has been spoken!!!!

Are either of those jobs (Franklin and Independence) good jobs? Can you get players, or does soccer rule?

Franklin could be a good job. Coach Pantall has filled in and brought players back into the program. He planned only a one year stay. Good job for the right coach.

Harpeth got out played, out coached and most of all the big way thay ezell won they out rebounded.

Thanks you very much!!!!!

what is your problem with Junkins, is it his fault that he was handed athletes?? Every time that a harpeth post comes up and you think that the other coach is so much better you pick the opposing team. So far you havent got one right yet.

Well,Well,Well--I guess my case is closed. HHS is now 61-9 the past two years with two straight home loses in the Sub State. Great job by Ezell and Coach Spann.

I'll take Spann over Judkins. Ezell by 5.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!

MINE TOO!!!!

Where is the Ezell Harding vs Harpeth game being played? I know that Harpeth played their substate game last year at Fairview.

At Creek Wood

Your arrogance and piousness are greatly appreciated by those of us looking for great bulletin board material.

If it's all the same to you though, us dumb, undisciplined hicks will show and play the best we can. Who knows, maybe you can learn us something about basketball.

Well, I guess it all will be decided Saturday night at Creek Wood. Sorry you could not play at home.

Let's see how the Lady Indians and all their talent do against a well coached and well disciplined private school team. These type teams(FRA-Ezell) have been their downfall in the past.

Bush was never considered to be let go . You have confused him with Currie and Dooley. They were the coaches let go.

Those coaches were let go--don't they still have their teaching positions at AHS?

So all those teams they beat had no talent, bad coaching, or both? Tell you what, I'll list some of those 58 teams and you tell me if their players are bad or their coach stinks.

Lawrence Co 2-0

Sycamore 4-0

Cheatham Co 5-1

Goodpasture 2-0

Dickson Co 3-1

Loretto 1-0

Brentwood 2-0

Fairview 2-0

Chester Co. 1-0

 

If you can't choose one of those for each team, I'd say you have a personal problem with Harpeth's coach. Like I told the more people on here earlier this year, be carefull you don't run off a good man and wind up with the coach your "Cheapum Co" pay plan deserves.

The teams listed have a two year record of 376-139 against other teams. Against Harpeth they are 2-22.

Harpeth's losses during that stretch were to Dickson, Columbia, Cheatham, Bolivar, DCA, Page, and Creekwood. Pretty good clubs.

Good record--no doubt! Good luck to Harpeth! Hope it is 59-8 after tonight.

Can they play tonight?

There must not be too many "well coached" teams around. Harpeth is 58-8 over the last two years. Are you saying that Chester Co. is not "well coached"?

Nothing against Chester County -their coach's record speaks for itself. Harpeth may be 58-8 over the past two years, but not because of coaching, because of talent. They can be very easily outcoached.

How did Creekwood beat them? Slow down the game for Harpeth offensively or slow down on both ends? Is Harpeth the most athletic team in their district?

Great shooters who can run the floor--you have to play a half court game to beat them.

A well coached team will give Harpeth trouble (Creekwood) as they rely on a fast pace and great shooters to beat you.

rtb, are you staying at HL or headed south?

Talent does not always win, I'll take Chester County coach over the Harpeth coach.

Coaching will be the difference--I'll take Chester County.

Can the Lady Rebels continue their tournament magic tonight against the Lady Cobras. Adams and Holland keyed the tourney run and they will be key for the Lady Rebels tonight.
