Hey, I'm needin' to talk some WB football. TPoole, WillieB, TG ... somebody that got to see the Hall's scrimmage. How did we look? I heard some good reports but I also heard that Halls was missing several kids because of other sports. Of course, I suppose the same would hold true for the Govs???

Halls was missing a few players due to baseball and other events, but the Govs looked very strong. The final score was 41-6, but William Blount put up 21 in the first quarter alone and held Halls scoreless until the very late stages of the game. The offense preformed very well, Darren Garner made some huge plays and really had some breakout runs. I believe there was over 500 yards of total offense for the Govs, but don't hold me to that number. All in all, both teams looked good and played well. I am still looking for an update on the injured quarterback from Halls, and my prayers along with everyone at WB are with him.

 

We are looking very strong so far, and if we continue to keep up the good, hard work and continue to improve throughout this summer and into the fall, you should see some good football!

QB Hunter Snodderly came home from hospital earier this week.

He has pins in both major bones of left leg. 8-10 weeks in softcast then long rehab.

His parents brought him to practice Monday in the family car. Seems in good sprits all things concidered.

 

 

I believe another player, Taylor Babcock broke his collar bone also in this game.

 

 

Good luck to to the GOVs. They look mighty tough from our side.

1. Defense - I think that WB will have a very though defense this year. They will have a great crew of linebackers this year led by Irwin and Lail, I am excited to get watch garland return to the field – he is a very tough player. Also added this year to the linebacker crew will be Spencer Brown, a transfer from Heritage during his freshman year – he sat out last year I believe. I have heard rumors of 3-5 defense this could be exciting.

 

2. Offense – During the scrimmage WB ran some 5-wide sets. This is something that I haven’t seen out of WB in a long time. Darren Garner ran around everybody – he will be fun to watch this year. Vineyard looked liked a good quarterback playing for Tyler (baseball). It looks like WB has had some new people come out to the team to play a little receiver. Brad Cochran will provide some height and amazing athletic ability. I also saw Roger Cunningham on the sidelines – I think if Roger go out for the wrestling and golf teams he will have played on every team that WB has to offer – great athlete. The O-line does look big and strong – Greene, Madden, and Jackson are all huge guys that will help Tyler out if they are in fact going to go to a throwing offense.

I have to be real careful about getting to "giddy" about the prospects of this year's Governor team, because we all know that "hope springs eternal" each pre-season. But there is no question that Coach Meadows and staff are going to have a lot of weapons this year.

 

As always, we'll play as tough of a schedule as anyone in the state I believe. We'll have a much clearer picture of the team after the first two games: Sevier County and Dobyns-Bennett. Along with those two, you throw in Ooltewah, Oak Ridge, Farragut, McMinn County ... you have to respect Soddy Daisy, Bradley, and Heritage ... and then of course you got to play Maryville. I'm not sure any team has any three tougher "out of region" games than the Govs.

 

You could be a pretty decent football team and still go 5-5 real easy with this schedule. A 7 - 3 season would be spectacular ... an 8-2, I believe, would probably represent the best team in the history of the school.

 

I know the team has "set the bar high". They want to go to Murfreesboro ... I think that is awesome ... you've got to aim high.

 

For the Old Govman, this season I'd love to:

 

* Announce at least a couple of "home" play-off games

*Show that the win over DB last year wasn't a fluke

*Exact some revenge on Ooltewah

* See where our radio crew gets to set up when we visit McMinn County (inside joke)

* See Burnett, Shiver, Douglas, & crew still in the game having to compete in the fourth quarter when we play Maryville

 

Should be a fun year!!!

I hope all your wishes come true! I've got some good friends there this year in Lail and Poole. I'm pulling for you! /wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
