  1. GovMan, Any updates? Last night (3/2) after church, one of the students got several text message asking everyone to pray for Cole, as he had slipped into a coma. I cannot find anything about this. You know anything? Thanks, Jethro
  2. Well said, my friend, well said. How did the banquet go? I couldn't get there, but understand it was a good time. Did you get to make it? Haven't heard all of the college signees yet. What's the word? Jethro PS: Has Bladerunner shown his face around here lately?? I miss him.......
  3. Nope, I've not talked to ol' Sling. I've not even been on the site for a while. I'm expectin' some good things from him this Christmas .... I've been good! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Regarding the banquet: Is it only for players and parents, or can the general fan base show up. It would be real nice if we could fill up the Commons area with a bunch of fans and show the guys how much we appreciated their efforts this year. This is a turning point, I'm hoping, for an improved mindset at WB. Jethro.
  4. No way. Generally it shows who is hot at that moment. Plus, you can have a better team lose in an upset, due to bad weather, poor officiating or any such thing.
  5. Anyone know when the Football Banquet will be held and where? Is it open to fans, or just players/family only?
  6. I noticed that stat also. This is impressive for both offense and defense. I checked the prior year stats and there is nothing quite like it. This was a team! I would say that the 4 opponent's sacks comes from Tyler's scrambling abilities as well as the line. I thought (in the Bearden game for example) the line wasn't holding up long enough for him for many plays and he would have to scramble.
  7. That is a great page! That was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
  8. Does anyone have season stats for the Governors?
  9. I know there's gonna be trash-talk .... I just wish it would be on the WB/Bearden thread, or in any other thread. The intent of this thread is two-fold: 1) Congratulate the players, coaches and everyone else connected with the program on a great year, regardless of the one bad game, and 2) See what might be in store for next year and on down the line. This year, WB moved from mediocre to top-notch. We've been edging that way over the last few years. One day we will get to the top; it just wasn't this year. While I'm sure we will be back to mediocre from time to time, I'm hoping that we begin to "BELIEVE" in ourselves. In the past, we've lost good young men to other districts ... we've had kids that don't want to grow up to be a WB football player, but rather an Alcoa, or Maryville, or whatever football player .... we've had kids that went out for the football team just to get a letter. Now, we finally are starting to get a little excitement going with the players, fans, and even our cross-town rivals. I'm just hoping this is a "sea-change" for a team that is finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. That's all.
  10. thanks for the comments I'm not sure what you're talking about by mentioning me, but besides that, how about taking it somewhere else?
  11. I'm starting this thread as a place for William Blount fans to discuss the past football season, future hopes, etc. I respectfully request that all trash-talking from opponents/detractors be taken to another thread. William Blount players.... thanks for a great season. It didn't end the way we wanted, but you guys have played hard all season long and have nothing to be ashamed of. All season long you played ranked teams and performed very well. All of South Blount Co., and many of our brethren at Maryville and Alcoa have pulled for us and have given us new-found respect. Thanks also to the coaches. Coach Meadows, you have surrounded yourself with a fine cadre of coaches who have taken the boys to new heights. Keep up the good work during the off-season, and we will have many more victories ahead of us. I'm hoping a few of the fans will post their comments about the season for the first few posts, and then we will change back to specific football-related issues (prospects, future plans, etc.)
  12. Which ones? The ones that the refs called all night long? How many was that, by the way?
  13. I was at the game and I'm still not sure what happened. The first quarter was 0-0. Both teams were strong defensively and each offense had maybe 1 first down or maybe 2. We were winning the field position game by virtue of our punter. I may be a a little confused, but I think it was 0-0 when we had them buried at the 1 yard line. We had a procedure call that moved it out to the 6. A couple of plays later, Bearden threw to a wide-open receiver, who raced down the field and scored. And that was it. From that point on, our safeties and defenders were burnt. We had a few good plays and good stands, but it was not enough to put together anything sustained. Bearden spotted our weaknesses and exploited them expertly. We just didn't seem to want it. (Not taking anything, anything away from Bearden, but this wasn't the Blount team of several weeks ago). We just rolled over. I'm sure that there will be Bearden fans that will get on here and post a bunch of trash talk, but, in fairness, the team Bearden beat was not the same team as the one that played throughout the season. Not to get too off-topic, but several fans are commenting that our last three games are typically against weaker opponents (McMinn, Bradley, Heritage) then we played Cambell Co., and its like we didn't have any energy or stamina or something. Once we got behind 7-0, we bent. The backbreaker was bearden scoring with 16 seconds to go in the half. That made it 17-0, and took a lot out of our players. Bearden showed me something. I think if we played our top game, like we have basically every other game this year, it would have come down to one score. From what I saw, Bearden would have won it, even against our A game, but it would have been a game. This is one of those games where you hate to see it end this way. This one will sting for a while. I'm sure Coach Meadows will regroup and come up with some new plans for next year. This offense was a radical departure from previous seasons and basically put WB "on the map" as a team to be reckoned with. This sets up an interesting observation .... Farragut gave up 35 points to WB and barely beat them. Farragut gave up 30+ to Ooltewah and barely beat them. Bearden skunked us both. I'm beginning to think that Bearden has gotten must stronger than Farragut as the season has rolled on since their 2OT loss. And, I do think that Bearden wins the battle of West Knoxville. Should be a great game.
  14. They are. Win, lose or draw, this team is special. And I truly think our whole community is better for it!
  15. And here I thought morning breath started later at night. Hmmmm.
