Well it looks like grace sure handled rockwood. Was that game closer than the score or was it a 20 point game all night..??

 

Maybe grace got the tigers good and tired for The Eagles tonight.

We were able to rest the starters against Greenback.

Was grace able to do the same to get ready for harriman..??

 

I would kinda like to see them come in to The Eagles Nest undefeated

(talk about a great atmosphere) but I want to see the district tighten up too.

What tournament has Grace played in?? Even if your schedule is weak, you can still get into some good tournaments and played better teams! Take Union City for example...they could be undeated right now...might could even run the table for the entire season. But they have competed in some great tournaments. They lost 3 games in those 2 tournament. Grace should atleast push theirselves to play better teams. Its better to be battle tested come tournament time, rather than just have an undefeated record playing no one

Why would Grace play in hard tournaments? They have no reason to. This team is only in their third year of existence. They’ve never had a winning season, and they don’t have any seniors. They had no idea they would have this much success... Would you take a fledgling team and try to put them in the Arby’s Classic or the City of Palms tournament or even the Best of Preps tournament in Chattanooga??? No, and its ludicrous to come on here and criticize there coach for a weak schedule 2/3’s of the way through the season…. And also, they went up to Union County, and beat them on their own floor in their own tournament… And Pigeon Forge couldn’t even beat Union County in Maynardville…. So get off this team’s back alittle……… Trying to compare what Union City does for tournaments and what a team in there third year ever does for tournaments is ridicules.

With the win over Harriman, looks like Grace has pretty much sealed up that top seed for districts, which means a trip to the regionals.

 

 

 

 

Really got to give Grace their props....They've beaten Cosby, Rockwood, and Harriman, all of which are well-coached teams.....plus Union Co is a pretty good AA this year...they are for real in single A.....

It will be interesting to see how well they do in the district and region tournaments with the pressure on and the huge crowds.

 

The Eagles will be ready for the game on 2/2 but they have 3 games

between now and then. Coach Flatford won't let them look ahead I hope.

 

Anybody have any idea what the enrollment is at Grace...??

It isn't listed on the TSSAA site. Wonder if they will get enough

students that the 1.5 multiplier will affect them anytime in the future.

 

From what I hear, they sure put the $$ in to building 1st class athletic facilities.

Grace only has about 150 in it's high school.

 

 

 

Thanks. They would have to double that before they got close to AA enrollment

 

I meant to ask in my earlier post. I thought somebody posted here that there aren't any seniors at Grace yet. Did I imagine that...???

Does that include the ballplayers and/or transfers..??

DWADE was just trying to make the point that Grace should have scheduled some teams to play that would probably beat them. .........Maybe they should have even scheduled some teams like Humboldt, Lake County, or Union City.

Grace will never be a AA school I graduated from there and played bball and fball there last year. They simply have no room for the amount of kids that it would require to become one. yes they just built the new high school but since they are built on church property they will not be able to grow beyond that.

    • Marion just jumped ER as the favorites in the East. Two big time transfers for y’all kinfolks. Bullseye has been set now. I said it the last two years it is time and both times y’all let me down. Can’t say you’re short on talent this year or that you’re young. Time to put up or shut up. Surely y’all can get over the hump this year. I’m just keeping it real
    • Should have won by 30 last year if we played discipline at the very least. May have got 2 dogs up front but remember we have the best DL in the state on our team. Also added a 6’6” 320lb O lineman.
    • Marion County boys just got two DOGS. Y’all East Robertson folks better buckle your chin straps this year. They gonna have something for Groves up front this year. I’m just keeping it real 
    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
