Clinton vs West

[Beagleboy]

The number 3 team in AC finds itself looking at another 1-9 season. I curious to ask where are all the Clinton fans on here? When will they figure out that they aren't getting that much better despite what they say. They are losing worse now than they did under Coach Cat"loss". In what ways are they getting better and do they have a chance against West?

[cdragonz123]

No i dont think Clinton has a chance against West and their little chance is even smaller now. Clintons top 2 recievers as well as their starting cornerbacks (same players) Charles "Ta-Ta" Huddleston #4, and Tony Phillips #23 quit the team and starting safety Josh Stallard is possibly out for the season w/ a hurt neck/back. So Clinton will come in to the game friday without their top 2 recievers and their whole starting secondary for the season. But Clinton will hopefully be getting better in a few years because the middle school programs keep getting better and winning middle school championships and alot of young players are playing right now

Maybe you should look at the type of players they have had. Players quitting mid-season, tells alot about why they are losing. A team will never get better if the players up and quit on the drop of a dime. If Im not mistaken they have had alot of players quitting over the past few years.

Clinton has had good middle school teams for years, Can anybody tell me what happens to them when they get to the high school The high school team is pathetic and appears to be getting worse. what's the deal? What ever happened to the kids that vandalized the Ship, bad idea.

Good middle schools teams do not necessarily mean good hs teams. Stand by Coach Shattuck, he'll get them going.

West is even more hungry than normal this year. The score in their last game is not indicative of what happened at all. They had MHS genuinely concerned thru 2 1/2 quarters. This team will win it's share of games over the next couple of years.

 

My hat off to Coach Cummings and staff. They know how to scheme a defense for weaknesses.

 

I think Clinton looked better at times this year. Their putting forth an effort and in a season like this and last year and the year before, sometimes that's all you can ask from the kids. Their's talent on that team. I'm not sure what's wrong. I wish for them they could drop down to 3A, like Carter.

I will be like tammy wynette.I will stand by cute andy.

great post RebelNation--West is a pretty darn good team. In any other region in the state, they would be a solid playoff team. Look how tough they played MoWest. I look for West to be pretty good next year, too.

 

I don't think this game will be that close. West should win by 20 or more.

 

I hope that the Clinton fans will stick with Shattuck and let him develop a program. This is a marathon, not a sprint. It really does hurt Clinton to be in this region because they are not going to experience a whole lot of success for a while and you hope that the kids don't get frustrated and either transfer or quit. But ya gotta play where ya gotta play. If Clinton is a 4a school in enrollment, this is it.

 

I was sad to read on here that Tony Phillips quit the team. I've known Tony and his family for a long time.

[cdragonz123]

Tony quit the team on Monday but came back in on Tuesday and appologized to the team and coaches and is now back witht he team. But Huddleston is still gone and i dont believe is coming back. I dont think Phillips will start this Friday but im not sure.

oskie, I was just wondering why they are good in middle school and terrible in high school. Andy's got 'em going allright. In the wrong direction.

i just think the middle school championship stuff is overblown. Look at who Clinton plays- Campbell Co schools, North Anderson Avery Trace and the two Oak Ridge Schools (who are combined when Clinton kids have to play them in hs), there are no Knox or Blount Co teams, whom they play in hs. It may or may not mean alot when they get to hs.

I have coached both middle school football and high school footballl...and believe me, there is a world of difference in teh two...
