DB Indians (Spring)

[biglon68]

Anybody go to the Halls scrimmage? Poster on the Halls string advises D-B won by 3 or 4 scores. Not sure if we are that good or if they are down this year. Also anyone know when or who we scrimmage next?

biglon68,

Halls is a young team...D-B played pretty well...moved the ball up and down the field...Burnett looked good running the ball, Ring passed well, Throp had a good day receiving, line got better as play went on...defense totally controlled things...Halls only threw a few times and Sensabaugh and Throp both had interceptions, Thompson had the defensive stop of the day and a very solid scrimmage...defense looked real good...it was 4 TDs to zero; Burnett, Throp, Sylvester, and Williamson scored...it was a good spring showing.

D-B has an intersquad scrimmage tomorrow to end spring practice...gives them a chance to support the baseball team on Wednesday.

Hey DB, finally some pads are popping. Good to see Bud and Skunk and Waco and all. Just to have some traffic on here about hs football. Is there a pill that would cause one to hibernate like a bear ( a big long nap) until August. I can't wait. If we're lucky we will get to play twice this year, once at the The Ship and once at The Fred. It's a beautiful thing. Take care.

Actually, if DB and Oak Ridge play twice, wouldn't both games be at The Ship? That is what I thought. Maybe the playoff rotation changes. Anyone?

They were both @ Oak Ridge in '04

Don't know about the regular season, but the playoffs go west this year if they follow the normal rotation. R'dale had to go EAST to Oak Ridge in 05.

who is db's star running back this year, and is he as good as adonis was

[ArtVandalay]

#2 = Sr. Tailback Marchez Barnes, who the students and players @ DB call "DC". I have heard that he will play some and be able to help out. One thing the Coaches like is that Marchez is a good blocker. I heard that Sylvester is a little bigger than he was and he is cat quick. It will be good to have break away speed in the Backfield and the ability to beat someone to the corner. That has been lacking in the last few seasons. Coty Burnette is a good Back as well and Pappas at FB should make for a strong running game for the Indians in '06.

Who are we playing out of conference this year?

 

I'm ready for football season...H.S., NFL, Pop Warner, whatever!

 

Thanks for putting a name to #2 Art, he should be a wonderful addition!

DB's '06 schedule is the same as '05, flip flop the home and away.

Indians open up @ Home against Elizabethton (#3 all-time Rival), then Sullivan South.

Game 3 & 4 are on the Road at Bearden and Oak Ridge

Game 5 @ Home against Jeff Co.

Game 6 on the Road at Tennessee High (#2 all-time Rival)

Game 7 & 8 @ Home against Sevier Co and Karns

Game 9 & 10 on the Road @ Campbell Co and finish up with the Science Hill Hilltoppers

 

Rate the tough games as for sure Oak Ridge, Sevier Co and Sullivan South. I expect that Betsy will be a better team in '06. Not much info on anybody else for '06, yet.
