Are these kids from Polk being highly recruited? If they are as big and fast as you say they should be some of the top prospects.

I love Shiverdecker and love to watch him play. He passed my expectations of him last year and I would agree he is one of the top backs in the state but I don't think he is in the same class as Lindsey, Gulmire and Miller. Those guys will run over you when there is nothing there. They don't look to go outside and beat you with speed they have speed, moves and strength. Chris has speed and moves, no doubt, but he does not like the contact. I think once he gets weight added on and delivers hits as hard as they are delivered on him then he gets mentioned with the others.

 

That is just maturing as a good back, maybe that happens this year maybe next year! We just have to get the ball in Relifords hands more to take the physical beating off Chris this year. Last year Chris sneaked up on other teams, this year they are looking for him. I know we won't be passing again this year but we have got to create other opportunites for ourselves.

i'm really shocked that phillip weathers isnt being mentioned much.

 

he's 5'8" 175 (i think he's putting on quite a few pounds over the summer though)

 

really stout.. i saw his picture in the paper for squating 500+.. and his bench press is 320..

 

all that strength plus a blazing 4.37 40 yard dash time. if you believe that time is a lie.. it's not.. it was actually recorded at a speed camp at bethel college.. i'm not sure what his 40 time was at UTK's football camp, but i heard he was the fastest at the camp.

 

i can't wait to see what this year brings for this guy, i just hope huntingdon has a decent o-line to help him out.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • “facts” or better yet ‘opinions’ had been up for weeks/months. that’s not why the thread was deleted. get over yourself. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented? 
    • Crazy how the thread just gets deleted when facts come out.
