Morristown East & West

[Ed Masters]

Just thought that I would share some information that I had gathered this weekend....

 

1. West has claimed that they will play at CNC this Friday against Unicoi County. It is not definite, but many of the higher ups in the school system believe that this will be the case. It costs 5 thousand to play there. Kills concessions for the band programs

 

2. East will play at Burke-Toney if this is the case. East believed that they would have played on Saturday afternoon until West claimed CNC for their game.

 

3. West was upset with East for holding their frosh game last week before West played Cherokee. The field was in terrible shape for the Trojans game. I do not blame West for being upset over that. (Please notice that a Cane fan said this) Varsity has to come first.

 

4. Burke-Toney is used for ALL of the following games: East Varsity Football, East JV Football, East Freshmen Football, West Varsity Football, West JV Football, West Freshmen Football, East Girls Soccer, West Girls Soccer. This is just the fall schedule. The spring brings both East Boys Soccer and West Boys Soccer. Do not forget that members of Hamblen County can rent out the stadium for special events for around $150. The system does try to keep people off of it as much as possible. They will not let the East Band practice on the field. It is a bad situation.

 

5. All Hamblen County residents need to look at Sunday's Tribune. Now we are talking about creating a third high school again. Their options include renovating the two and making them larger or creating a third. If they decide to create a third, then more football fields will become a must.

 

I would prefer that we put them back together. Most research says that 3 would be best, but they do not live here and see how East/West divides the town.

 

Here is what I would love to see done. Go out on 160 and build a school that would hold 4,000 students for growth. Name it Hamblen County High School and let the mascot be the Wildcats like the old middle school used to have. They wouls need to pick totally new colors. (No orange and no crimson) Bring the community back together. In my humble opinion, this would do much more for the community than most in power realize.

I understand. Johnson County's field is also used by others, so yeah our field may be muddy also at times, as was posted before. Any Idea when they will decide who will be where and when?

Thanks for any info.

All they did against Boone was run the option to the left. Boone did not stop it all night. I cannot remember them passing too much.

They actually threw 3 Touchdown passes against Boone.

3 touchdowns on only 8 completions. Like I said they did not pass too much against Boone. They were just very successful when they did.

To clear something up, the girl's soccer teams for both schools played at Frank Larino this year.

Hugh Clement made that decision to play. East has no say. The Asst. director of schools made the call.

IQ is 127

Number when I played was 72

If it makes you feel more important to knock me then feel free to do so. BTW, not hiding behind a screen name because there is nothing to hide from. The whole comment about daddy's money was a joke at first but hey, if I paid for all kinds of stuff then maybe my son would have the inside track on a starting job too. Please deny that Wild has paid for things at West while his son has been there.

 

Funny again! Anyway, MWest has a tremendous following and support thru the many parents and fans in the QB Club. I don't know if MEast has the same level of support or not.

 

BTW, Wild played very little last year even though the starting senior QB had limited experience. Many schools start sophomore QBs, ( i.e. B. Ramsey at East).

This fact negates your questionable comment above. ( Inside track).

 

Come on 72, you can do better than this!

[canefan72]

Maybe he did not build that baseball field at west(inside track)after all. If you don't like what I say then ignore it. BTW, what FACT negated anything I said?

Mr. Wild, a personal friend of mine, is a dedicated booster of West. This is mostly due to the fact that he is an alumnus of West. He has been a part of the booster community at the school for a number of years, even before his children were at the school.

 

The suggestion that our coaching staff can be bought for playing time is very upsetting to me and a new low even for an East fan.

 

I hope that most of East has too much class to be part of your delusion, but I guess we will really never know the answer to that, will we?

 

As for West, we appreciate the time and effort given by all of our Boosters and would never dream of singling one out of the bunch. We are a team from the field to the stands and have proven it between the hashes as a friend told me the other night.

 

All I can say is good luck to East. Perhaps the saying one and done will not apply this year.

[canefan72]

I don't care whom your personal friends are,what is upsetting to you and don't care how much class you think you have nor do I care how much you think we don't have. West parents ,student body and players like to talk about class but there is a whole lot more to it than talking about it.

72, I have it on good authority that the West coaching staff blamed East and not Mr. Clement. Yes, he is the one with final say, but West felt that we should have pulled out of that one on our own. I know that Don Woods called East upset over it.

 

Now on Friday it was 100 percent Mr. Johnson's call on if East and Boone played that game. He told me that himself. He and the athletic director made the call.

 

I wonder if West would have played if the roles were reversed? If their freshmen were undefeated, would they have played?

I believe that you are correct. They did move those to Frank Lorino. My bad. Boys are still played there.
