Murphy Fair's 2007 Football Preview

Recommended Posts

It is about that time of year folks. The dead period is almost upon us and after that teams around the state will begin preparations for the 2007 high school football season. Just about that same time Murphy Fair's 2007 High School Football Preview Magazine will be released. This preview has by far and away been the state's best when it comes to looking at high school football for the past several years now. It started as mainly a midstate preview but over the years it has become a statewide thing. The magazine is just one week away from hitting the printers and there are still several teams out there who have not submitted surveys. Here is the list so if your team is not included you'll know why!!!

QUOTE(The Drunken Sailor @ Jun 11 2007 - 01:38 PM) 826473849[/snapback]70 TEAMS? Did I count that right? That is a lot of coaches not wanting to get their players recognition all across the state. I understand that some coaches may be new and not have time but 70 teams?

 

That is pretty sad.

I think you read this wrong...If you don't see a Knoxville team on the list,it means they are IN the magazine.......

 

I also don't understand why a coach won't take 20 or 30 minutes or maybe less,I haven't seen the questionaire that is sent out,to fill this out and send it back in...It is good recognition for the kids....

 

It was good to see that the three Obion County schools(Union City,Obion Central and South Fulton)filled theirs out and only two teams out of 14 in Regions 7-1A and 7-3A(Gleason and Haywood Co) didn't fill one out.....

 

Looking forward to getting mine...I always enjoy it

Go to Murphy Fair's Website to get info on how you can get a copy of the form. The site also gives you the same list as the one that I have given. If you wish you may also contact Murphy Fair because his number is on the website.

Read the info correctly. If your team is not on my list that I gave then that team is ALREADY IN THE MAGAZINE!!!!

That can happen, but most of the time the coach has put forms in file 13. Big Country, glad you called out the schools that have not sent info to POSTIVE promote the players and the football program. Coaches need to get this done , or better , send list to the Prinicpal.

Yeah but he'll probably list the coach as John A. Anderson. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

 

In case "The Guru" /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> doesn't know.......Chris Pickett is back in charge of the Grundy County YELLOW JACKETS.

    • 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.
