Dobyns Bennett vs Farragut @DB

In baseball, year-in and year-out, for S-D I'd bet it's going to be Farragut and Bearden way ahead of D-B. Waaaaayyy ahead.

 

Given what Farragut's done over the last few years, you'd think they'd be a "red-letter" day for S-D; and if they're a red-letter day, D-B must be something like a green-letter day. Let's imagine: who's the red-letter day on your schedule, the 3-time state champion (and former national champion) who's in your district, or a team in a different region from 120 miles away? Yeah, you bet, I'd sure focus on the team from a different region 120 miles away. I might even play my frosh against that red-letter team that's in my district in order to prepare for D-B.

 

Yeah, right.

 

Perhaps D-B is the red-letter team for 95% of some teams, somewhere, but I don't think that, as good as they are, they rate that high in the Knox County area. I'd place them something like sixth on the red-letter chart, behind Farragut, S-D, Halls, Bearden, Gibbs, and Loudon. And I'm probably leaving somebody out. Seriously, when it came to tournament time, D-B couldn't beat the team that finished fourth in the regular season in D4AAA, right?

 

farragut was never a national champion

I was talking about DB as a school in all sports being a "Red Letter Team" for most other schools in the state. But I think you knew that by the way you started out your post.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
