Maryville v. Halls ... Lenoir City ...

[DCM]

OK, the coaches and the players shouldn't look ahead. Why can't the Boards?

[Rebel9]

You just don't look that far ahead.We can talk about Halls bt that is it.

Interesting scenario. Since Halls has LC between now and the Maryville game, can we talk about Halls v. Maryville??? Or are we limited to LC? HMMMMM.

You can talk about anything you choose to talk about but this Maryville fan and our team will be thinking about Halls. A win over Halls will give Maryville the region 3-4A title and that is a team goal. If Halls fans want to look past Lenoir City and talk about Maryville then let's get with it.

OK, so that's one reason -- "because you just don't look that far ahead."

 

But why?

 

As I said in the first post, I certainly understand why the team shouldn't look past the next game. What I don't see is why that should apply to fans.

 

I can think of one good reason not to have such a discussion on a public board -- that players might view the posts and start looking ahead. But that reason is just a variation or corrollary of the previous one. Maybe that's enough, maybe not.

 

So I'm back to the question: What reason is there not to talk about the playoffs?

Maryville Halls won't be a pretty event. I can't see my Devils playing you guys close even at home. We are to young and our offense against Powell was awful.

Defense is our only bright spot and they can not stay on the field the whole game. I just hope they don't put this one on TV.

To the Halls fans, or the ones in the know.....What has happen to Halls. I remember many great teams and players from the past but no more. What has happen to Halls the last 10 or 15 years for them to fall from the elite levels?

[PowellFan]

there coaching isnt good, and they have to many players worried about running there mouths then they do about there game.

 

They have good kickers though (well other than 1 game)

[littlemn88]

powell fan you kill me. halls coaches arent good. thats an amazing comment. look at halls players compared to powell players over the last couple of years. how many d1 players has powell had and done nothing with. how many players has halls had that can barely walk and chew gum and compete with or beat powell. oh and what about the the choice to throw the ball at the end of the game for powell. all they had to do was stay with the lead with huffaker and run the clock out instead they get cocky and throw it and put halls in the game. powell didnt deserve to win that game. look at powell players compared to halls and its disgusting at how underachieving powell is.

[PowellFan]

This has nothing to do with powell, He asked what was wrong with halls and I told him.

 

Maybe if O conner didnt miss 4 field goals and be an underachiever you guys would have won.

 

Whether its 1 points or 60 points a W is a W

We'll not look past LC. My point was about CoachT policy, which is what DCM was referring to.

 

As for Powellfan, I had begun to think you were rational. You have sadly disappointed me. At the least, you know not of what you speak. Halls has a new, second year coach. For Halls to play Powell the way we did with essentially a glorified JV team speaks volumes about how much better Halls' coaching is now. The reasons Halls has been down from years past is attributable to many, many factors, not the least of which is the head coach who preceded Coach J. So many very good players, including Maryville's D1 QB prospect, have left the program in part because of that coach it's a travesty. I could go on and on, but things have changed now.

 

Too many players running their mouths???? Who? The bush Powell players are the ones you should be concerned about. And you should be concerned about the next 5 years for Powell, which are going to be mighty lean. Rebel9 will be on here asking the question about you then.

 

Yes, Halls squandered many chances, and should have beaten Powell, and you know it.

I know Powell's coaching is horrible, I said it 6 months ago when they named coach lowe the head coach I wasnt happy. I still think it was a terrible decision. Even if they won a state championship I sitll dont think he should have got it. But thats neither here nor there.

 

When I was refering to coaching, It wasnt the coach thereselves, ITs the play calling and the motivation. They had Powell beat sat. and they couldnt close the deal. They should have one that game and had every opurtunity to.

 

Thats the reason I said coaching. If you read what I said earlier today, Halls is going to be scary the next several years and I think they will be taking it to Powell for a few years to come.

 

Thanks have a good evening.
