Hoover had a decent season but they struggled with 4 average teams. They won't be a national power like the were.

I agree Mitchell should win the region and their schedule should push them deep in the playoffs. Daphne will be their toughest opponent and its in Alabama so that should add fuel to their fire.

Hoover is not as good as they were a few years ago. They will win some games but I don't see them winning state for a while. I would like to see Maryville take on someone like Opelika,Daphne, or Foley.

Yep I think both games are @ Daphne unless something changed

I agree,its about time the 2 states are getting some national attention. Yep Prattville killed Hoover back in 06,I forgot the score but that game was on 2 a days.

Going to be a tough gig for Memphis Mitchell. Last year Daphne had 2 nationally televised games one on ESPN2 and the other on FSN, its a good chance this one could have some sort of broadcast.

Any thoughts on this game? Prattville lost alot of Srs and a head coach who is now at U of South Alabama. I think it will still be a great game. I hear Prattville is the toughest place to play in Al.

I knew it was coming....the AHSAA is throwing the book at alot of schools.9-0 Oxford got caught doing the same thing Hoover did and they had to forfeit 7 or 8 games and now they can't make the playoffs. Propst will most likely head down to South Alabama to resurrect another dormant program.

Murphy Panthers @ Daphne Trojans. Fox Sports Net will carry the game tonight at 6 I think. Daphne played Foley and the #1 player in the nation on ESPN2 a few weeks ago. Tonights game should be another good one. By the way,did anybody watch the Greatest High School Rivalries series on the Vs channel? The latest one was Jenks Trojans vs Union Redskins out of Oklahoma. It was a very good,well done documentary....NFL films produced it so you know its good. Check it out...

I was in Mobile a few weeks ago and I went to the Daphne/Mitchell game. Daphne has some very nice facilities,I've never seen a hs stadium with flat screen tvs on the concession stand showing the game live. I didn't get to see Reggie Hunt in action,he was sidelined from an injury but I did see clips and he is a great back. Coley White looks JUST LIKE PAT when he was on the field.I thought I was watching a WV game. They have a solid team should be a good game. Julio Jones is a monster,I honestly don't know if Daphne will be able to stop him. I heard they are closing the gates when they reach 7,600 fans becouse they expected around 14,000+ for this game and wanted to eliminate problems.

Im going to the game since I'll be in Mobile this week. The last time I was down that way I went to the Hoover/Daphne matchup. Good luck guys and represent TN well!

Here are a few nice out of state ones... Valdosta,GA Daphne,Ala

ill be in Mobile the weekend of the game with Daphne so I will definitely make that. I was fortunate enough to see the Hoover @ Daphne game 2 years ago. Thank God for family in Alabama. Mitchell has a good schedule. Those Tigers should be ready.

Yeah that what I was getting at. They only have a few mb sites.

That would be cool. Mitchell scheduled Daphne out of the Mobile area for a Sept. 7th matchup in Alabama. Should be an interesting game for the Tigers.Daphne has played in 5 or 6 6a state champ games since 2000.

True,they have the AL.com forums that covers everything from Two-A-Days to Youth Football AL Forums and a new site which prob won't get 'jumping' until the football season My Sports Place

I'm all for it;But it might be hard to pry Alabama sports fans from their sports sites. I want to see how it goes though,hopefully well!

Here is a article I found on another mb Two years ago, the coaching staff at the University of Louisville heavily recruited a gifted athlete out of Daphne, Alabama. He was the type of athlete that coaches love. He could throw, run and catch with the best of them. Like many that were recruiting him, the idea at U of L was to bring in the high school quarterback and convert him into a wide receiver or defensive back. In the end, the prospect chose to play elsewhere so he could continue to play behind center. Two years later and U of L coaches find themselves in a rather similar position. Coley White, the younger brother of 2006 Big East Conference Offensive Player of the Year Pat White of West Virginia, will assume the reigns of the Daphne offense this fall and is out to prove that he’s everything that his brother is. At 6-foot-1, 170-pounds, White is nearly the same size as his brother when he was a senior in high school and his ability to throw and run has drawn many comparisons to his older sibling. "I think me and Pat are similar," White recently told Scout.com. "We play the same style. We are both duel quarterbacks that can run and pass. A lot of people tell me that we look exactly a like when we play." White’s opportunity to showcase his abilities has been limited throughout his first three years. He has started only one game at quarterback, a first-round playoff game last fall, and ran for 103 yards on 11 carries, while also throwing two touchdowns. “I need to go out and prove myself this year,” White said. “A lot of coaches are telling that they want to see me play.” Despite not logging much game action, a number of college programs have already taken notice. “I have offers from West Virginia, Georgia Tech and Central Michigan,” White told InsideTheVille.com on Tuesday. “I’m also still getting letters from Middle Tennessee, Louisville, Alabama, Auburn and a few others.” Just like his older brother, White is being told that he could play a multitude of positions on the college level. “I’d like to play quarterback, but I’ll play another position if it means I can play,” White explained. “I want to play as a true freshman and people tell me that I can play a few positions better then some already, so if it means playing another position so I can play as a freshman then I would.” While he’s open to the idea of a possible position change, White added that he would prefer to stay on the offensive side of the ball. “That’s where my heart is. Some coaches have told me that I could play on both offense and defense.” With his older brother enjoying success in Morgantown, many might expect that the Mountaineers would lead for his services. “It’s not a big factor really,” White said. “A lot of people ask me about that, but I just want to go where I feel is the right place for me. (Pat) tells me the same thing, plus I want to be able to make my own name.” White currently claims no favorites.

how will Mitchell look this year?

Yep but their top player is Reggie Hunt who will be the #1 RB out of Alabama in 08. Look at this video this kid is fast Reggie Hunt

I know this year's game is going to be @Daphne on Sep 7th.Not sure about 08.

I'm thinking about driving to this game since I'll be in the Mobile area that weekend....any Mitchell fans going?

Hoover's 2007 schedule...... 9/1 - Colerain, OH Away (@ Cincinnati, OH) 9/7 - Carver Birmingham Away 9/14 - Spain Park Home 9/21 - Mountain Brook Home 9/28 - Boyd Anderson, FL (TBA) 10/5 - Minor Away 10/12 - Vestavia Hills Home 10/19 - Homewood Away 10/26 - Oak Mountain Away 11/2 - Theodore(Mobile,Al) Home

EHS isn't a top 10 team in 6A...I'm guessing MTV wants to capture their recovery after the storm. Their stadium was destroyed so they will play all their home games at Troy University. On the national board an HHS fan said their game with Colerain will still be played with or without Herbie.

Ol Rush! MTV's 2-A-Days is moving to Enterprise,Al to document the wildcats' football program this season.
