I've heard there's some coaching staff changes being made there, that at least one staffer from last year is no longer there, and maybe some others are floating resume's to other schools. Does anyone out there know what's really going on?

If Gallatin is on the decline as you say, why would Station Camp need players from there. IMHO Station Camp has never been the best team in Sumner County football. They were playing in a smaller class (3A), against much smaller schools as they already had an enrollment over 1000 which was much larger than the normal 700-800 in class 3A. I think we are seeing the difference in classes. By the way, SC started 17 seniors out of 22 positions, and Gallatin started 10 seniors last night. What area do you think SC will make up the most ground in the near future? I have no idea whether or not Gallatin is on the decline, I'll not participate in that debate. I will say SC won't need to find skill players from other areas to compete in the future. That school is in a growing area, in time, they'll be fine. Now, I don't know how many seniors started for SC the other night, but I do know several start both on offense and defense. I also know that most are first year starters, as it's widely known that SC had to replace ALL 11 starters on offense. I do take issue with the statement that SC was not the best team in the county two years ago. They beat Beech AND Hendersonville, so I think it's at least open to debate.

#1 for SC is a senior, Daryl Eubanks, excellent football player. Has a nose for the game, but he's nowhere near 230. 190 maybe, but plays bigger. He's a track kid too. SC is an extremely well coached team against an extremely upgraded schedule. I wasn't sure what this year would bring, but I've learned not to count the Bison out until the fat lady is singing.

Goodness... how bitter. Nothing different from last year, when WH won a squeaker at SC, the chanting from the WH stands. So, youngster, leave Mom's computer alone and go back to watching Hannah Montana or something. Now, my reflections. 1. Whoever WH's quarterback was did an excellent job for a non-starter. He had a perfect pass in the endzone in the final seconds that would have been the game winning touchdown 99 times out of 100, but the DB from Station Camp made an outstanding play and batted the ball away. 2. The Wildcat package WH ran in the second half was something else. THAT kid is a good back. 3. I think SC had guts to go for it on 4th and goal from the two in the fourth quarter. We debated it in the stands, and that's a call I wouldn't want to make. The celebration penalty after the touchdown was a poor call that could have cost SC the game. 4. I've seen tempers flare several times in the history of this matchup, but I thought both teams showed composure and good sportsmanship all around. 5. The show the band and the choirs did before the game gave me chills. Good job, all. 6. I cringe every time I see someone injured, and I felt like running across the field and hugging the young man who hurt his ankle. Remember, folks, these are our children.

Thanks, I'll do that. I'm at work, and they have a blanket block policy on websites and that one for some reason is on the list. I appreciate your help.

I've asked around, and looked on the internet, but I've yet to find any camps for high school throwers. Does anyone know of any (besides the UT camp) around middle Tennessee? Any coaches out there that do private lessons? Thanks.

You read a lot of stuff on here about what coaches can do, or what coaches do not do to help a kid get a scholarship, in football, or any other sport. How much does a coach help in that respect? Do coaches actively pursue colleges, or do you just wait for colleges to inquire about a certain player? What advice would you give a player who wants to play on another level? How should a player approach a coach about playing on another level? I'm not asking you to identify yourself or speak about specific players. Thanks for any input.

I was reading from top to bottom, and I sure thought it odd someone was going after bison4 for bashing a kid. If anything, he'd go after someone who DID bash a kid. Frankly, I was shocked Yazzie only got a small school offer. I didn't necessarily think he was SEC material, but he's a mid major guy, at least. I think some larger schools missed the boat on him. He was the best player I saw all season. Now, as far as the pecking order for next year, was Hendersonville not hit hard by graduation? Not that I'm arguing the prediction, I really don't know. Someone fill me in on Hendersonville, Gallatin, Beech, and the Wilson County schools.

What a GREAT deal for the fans, players and other coaches at SCHS!! I'm thrilled Coach Bever is on board. I hated learning years ago that he had even taken the Portland job, because the talent level was down even then, and everyone knew it wasn't going to get any better. I feared they'd run him off because the fans there have way, way unrealistic ideas on how good they can be. He is a fine man, a good Christian, family man. Portland's loss is SC's gain. Is someone leaving the SC staff to create this opening, or did Coach Holly just make a dang good hire and then worry about a spot later on?

I think Old Jock needs to call a Waaahhhhmbulance!

Hey, Old Jock, who'd you get to write that snappy response for you? Seriously, lighten up! I have no beef with the "good, kind citizens of White House", but I think it's quite funny that the WH people on this board spent the entire pre-season, AND regular season bragging about the state title to-be, and now that it didn't work out, the same people whine about this and whine about that. White House had a good team this past year. Final Four is quite an accomplishment! Why can't people there just accept that? Plus, any WH topic on this board is going to be subject to non-WH fans because of the arrogance of most of the WH posters. Honestly folks, not EVERY WH player is an all-state, major college prospect and bound for NFL glory. Be proud of your team. Toot your horn a little bit after a big win, or a big season. I'm sure those are pretty good boys on that sideline. They should be proud of a good season. But be able to take some sarcastic remarks if your fans are going to bash every team on the schedule and run their mouths about being such a football factory all the time. If you can dish it out, you'd better be able to take it.

Oh, they're all out celebrating the the new State Championship! Oh, wait, never mind....

That's old news. He gave his verbal before the season even started. Can't sign until Feb.

Here now, as a parent of a high school football player, I think you need to re-think what you are spouting off about a kid being a "fat mess". This is a CHILD you are talking about. He might be 300+, but that doesn't mean he's a man. You sit behind your keyboard and make comments about CHILDREN, and say something so hurtful. I can't believe this comment has stayed up on the board this long. I'm not a White House booster. I don't think I've EVER wanted WH to win a football game, but I have to defend this kid who you choose to call names. Folks, cheer for your team, write good things about children, single them out for doing good things, but never single one out for a bad play, or for someone's size, or lack of size. They're kids.

Literally? Over? All zeros on the clock?
