Sam Thompson from Alcoa. He has good speed and hands(WR), and will put a hit on anybody (SS). Starts both ways on this team. His first high school punt (replacing Fiegler) went 65 yards against Maryville last Friday. As a footnote, he is very bright, already holding a HIGH ACT score! We will hear great things about this young man during the next few years!

I agree, Sam is special. He is a multiple sport athlete. Football, I believe he will play basketball, soccer most likly and he used to wrestle. He has two brothers at Annapolis Naval Academy and they both scored in the 30's on their ACT, and from what I hear Sam is as smart if not smarter. A great all around kid. I look forward to seeing him play the next few years. He had a pick and good runback vs CAK but a penalty called back the runback, and against Maryville it seemed like his name was called on every tackle. He will be something special, but he may standout more as a SS/Punter, but with him he can do anything he sets his mind too. I haven't seen him catch any that I remember this year, but I probably forgot. But that punt, wow.

being a goodpasture graduate i would consider myself a little partial but i think that one of the new backs they have in there stable over there (a group of backs that put up 500 yards on the ground last weekend against a very good PJPII team that also has a very solid sophomore in wesley tate) is quite good. Benji Cunningham is his name and though he's only had 15 carries in limited play he's seen the endzone 3 times and has totaled 322 yards (thats 21.5 yards a carry).

I know of two of the top ones in East Tennessee

 

Courtland Styles of Knoxville Central, has all the skills to be great

 

Jock Stinson of Knoxville Fulton, if he keeps his head in the right direction Fulton could win another 3A title this year

 

Throw out some more names so that I can him about them.

 

I played against Styles pappa while he was at Carson Newman, he was a awesome LB.. I can't believ this is his kid.. What kind of season is he having?

    • Great to meet you too.  We're going to work hard to get back.  
    • I extend my gratitude to ManCoverage for initiating this discussion thread tailored to the residents of Trousdale County. In times of adversity within our football team, it is imperative to have an outlet for expression, and what better platform than CoachT's Craigslist forum? I respectfully request that GOAT exercise discretion in his commentary, as his remarks have caused me personal distress.
    • I am inclined to wager a substantial portion of my financial assets on the likelihood that Waggoner shall transition to an alternative coaching vocation prior to the year 2028. It is my contention that discerning individuals are beginning to perceive his coaching prowess as lacking in the requisite excellence. Allow me to articulate the following assertion: Waggoner represents a markedly superior choice compared to the individual who perpetrated the act of fuel theft.   This individual exhibits a conspicuous propensity for frequent professional transitions, a trait which undermines his credibility and renders him an untenable choice for serious consideration. It is indeed confounding that his candidacy continues to garner attention and support.
    • Yeah same   It’s definitely true that tough times make tough kids, but some kids just have a big passion for the game and will become the best of the best no matter where they come from.
    • Hope you enjoy it King and good to meet you at state this year. Good luck to the Lady Landers. Keep battling.
