Was Warren also the guy that got tossed out of two games this year?

If this is the case what kind of message are we sending to our youth?

I personnaly can't beleive that they (whoever they are) even considered Brandon Warren for Mr. Football. Along with the sports statistics you have to include sportsmanship and leadership. Brandon will miss 3 games because of unsportsman like conduct. That's 20% of season. He let down not only his fans, but more importantly his team. You people are sending the message to some of these athletes that if you are a good player, you can do what you want and still receive accolades which is WRONG. To the people who voted this into reality...what were you thinking. BW you should of handed the trophy to runner-up and said you didn't deserve it. In paper this morning, coach Reid is talking about how everyone in Alcoa is proud of BW..I think BW is one of the best players I've ever seen....but he should never have received this honor.

Ballots for Mr. Football nominees are distributed before the playoffs, so Warren's antics were not a factor. Most football people around the state regard the awards as more popularity contests and battles among the media in the different parts of the state than measures of football ability. If the playoffs could have been considered, Cates of Livingston Academy should have been a shoo-in among a good group of 3-A backs.

I haven't seen every TSSAA high school game but it is obvious whether BW is the best player or not he has been been built up to that. I have however seen a every single game he has played in and not played in and can tell you that with all the hype going into the first of the year about him being a "manchild" amoung kids on the field left him with nothing but a bullseye on his jersey. After the KY incident which was a farse I thought I had seen it all, until the CAK game when the ref had the flag out of his pocket before BW had the ball spinning on the turf. HE WAS A MARKED MAN. But for any reason the playoffs do not count on the ballots and he really is deserving of this award like it or not. He is much more deserving than the offensive back in BOO who one of his own teamates had better stats as well as DL of Alcoa for two years straight.

 

I here the JACKSON SUN has more influence than the News Sentinel.

 

GOOD LUCK TO ALCOA, MARYVILLE & OAK RIDGE. BRING THE GOLD BACK TO THE EAST WHERE IT BELONGS. :thumb:

You make a good point, which is a further indictment of BW's character. With a bullseye on his back, why would he even think about spinning the ball with a personal foul already thrown his way?

 

Oh, wait, I know the answer.

I agree. Bad behavior deserves consequences. I don't want my 13 year old influenced by thug-like behavior.

OBVIOUSLY NONE OF YOU KNOW THE KID! HE IS POLITE AND A VERY GOOD STUDENT!

HIS PROBLEM?

HE IS VERY COMPETITIVE! GETS TOO PUMPED AT TIMES AND HE WAS A MAN THAT "WAS" PLAYING AGAINST CHILDREN!

 

IF YOU CALL HIM A THUG AND NOT KNOWING HIM SHOWS ONE THING ON YOUR PART!

 

YOUR JEALOUS AND WISH YOU OR YOUR SON (IF YOU HAVE ONE AND NOT LIVING WITH A HOUSE FULL OF GIRLS) COULD BE THE SAME PERSON!

 

BTY GOOD LUCK TO MARYVILLE

Like I've posted before, I thought thugs were people who did drugs, murdered, involved themselves with gangs, stole, and committed other crimes. I'm not saying that Brandon made the best choice ever by spinning that ball, but I did not see where any thug-like behavior was being committed. Brandon is one of the nicest kids you'll ever meet, if you don't know him don't judge him.

 

And about keeping your son at Maryville; weren't they the ones printing off counterfeit money a few years back? I don't remember football players at our school committing crimes like that recently. I'm not saying your son should come to Alcoa, but FBE should think about what he says before he makes a remark about how people at Maryville are so much better than everyone.

Sorry to hear the Murvul player didn't get Mr. Football; can't remember his name; can't say I really had ever heard of him before, to tell you the truth. It would have been nice to have 2 Mr. Footballs in Blount Co. (or 3!).

Yes, the people who are bad-mouthing Brandon know nothing about him. If they did, they would know he is one of the kindest kids around. He deserves the award more than anybody else; he has the stats and grades to prove it. He isn't a discipline problem at school or in real life; he's passionate about the sports he plays. Yes, he made a couple of bad decisions, but what kind of decisions were you making when you were 17/18 out of passion???? This KID has worked hard for what he's gotten; it didn't just get handed to him.

I can't wait to see how Brandon does next year at FSU!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, BRANDON!!!

    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.  
    • Just read the article! In one statement he says he didn’t know the player was academically ineligible yet he also says he met with a teacher in 2022 to discuss putting the player in credit recovery.  I find it hard to believe a Head Coach doesn’t know a player is not eligible; are they not responsible for clearing them to the TSSAA?
