  1. 1. Who is the region favorite in 2007?



Recommended Posts

It looks like everyone has decided that the top two teams in the region will end up like this:

1. DL (of course, until somebody beats them, I guess they'll stay numero uno)

2.Marshall County (Hightower, O'Neal, and Braden, why not?)

 

Here's the scoop on Giles County: TRUE with the loss of Dunnavant and Edgemon, an outsider would think that it would be impossible to fill those massive shoes, BUT, Josh Perez and Bo Wallace have had an awesome off-season, major work in the weightroom and a 7 on 7 helped Wallace improve on his strenght, footwork, vision, and accuracy. Perez, already a beast before the off season has packed on even more muscle and is running the ball like a man on a mission.

 

Defensively: GC is still in good shape after a few key losses. Dangerfield is coming back, along with Harney, Reynolds, Perez, and Turner, not to mention Birdsong and Timms who helped out alot on the D line last year. Dangerfield will remain a force to be reckoned with.

 

Offensively: Losses on the offensive line are being remedied with more speed and emphasis on better technique. Kyle Motts will anchor the line at the tackle position, with Gleason returning at a guard. New addition Andre McElroy and the returner Marquise Gardner head up the improved receiving core who've participated in in 7 on 7's with Hoover, Prattville, Athens, and Bob Jones out of Alabama, as well as LaVergne, Brentwood Academy, Lincoln County, and Oakland in the 4 and 5A classifications of TN.

 

Don't count Giles County out of the hunt just yet, pre season polls are just that, polls. Good luck to all region 5 3A teams.

 

 

I agree with everything that you've said about Giles Co. Where will the Bobcats play their home games this coming fall now that "The Brickyard" is out of the question????? I know that Richland didn't schedule it's home & away games in accordance to Giles County's home & away games in preparation for this. Giles Co. doesn't have a field at the school seeing as how they use that really nice indoor practice facility.

 

Playing home games on Thursday or Saturday nights at Richland seems like an option if the people at RHS would allow it.

I dont think the stadium is out of the question just yet, but it doesnt sound good.Giles county in fact has two

fields at the school,but no lighting or seating.Thursday or sat. games at Richland shouldn't be a problem seeing

that giles and richland are the same school system,although I dont think the cats would like it much.

This is a problem that should have been adressed long before now.How often do stadiums get inspected by

the state,? The kids wont get a second chance at high school football,and this certianly will take a lot away from

them if the city or whomever is suposed to be on top of this stuff doesnt effectively solve this problem.

So, basically, last year was a fluke for Spring Hill. Is that the going trend? Where's the love Big Country (7th ????)

 

 

Spring Hill will be competitive. I don't care how many players they lost...having Coach McNight for spring practice and summer work will make them better...and Magwan returning doesn't hurt either. The Columbia area has tons of talent...Spring Hill will be fine.

 

Unfortunately, all of the other teams will be competitive as well. David Lipscomb and Marshall Co. look to be the dominant teams, but any of the other teams (with the exception of Mont. Central) can beat you. A 7th place finish is a realistic possibility for half the region.

Keep me updated on what decisions will be made regarding Sam Davis Park. It's a great place to watch a high school football game and despite THE LONG JOURNEY from Cheatham-to-Giles it would still be a sad day if Giles is unable to play AT THEIR OWN HOUSE this season.

What's the problem with the stadium at Pulaski, except bad officials?

 

Obviously the folks in Marshall County are still a little sensitive about "their year" ending without a playoff birth thanks to the last game loss at the hands of Giles County. As for the Brickyard, temporary renovations will be sufficient for the Bobcats to play their games there.

So Giles WILL PLAY their games at "The Brickyard" this season without question?????

 

$150,000: Temp. Fixture

$500,000: All Problems Solved

Play Games at Richland on Thursdays or Saturdays

Play ALL Games on the Road

 

THOSE ARE THE FOUR OPTIONS IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!!!

they also said that the insurance company will be dropping the stadium off the policy in 30 days.i say get the practice field ready bring in a temp.score board and temp lights make the field offical and lets get it on i'd love to see them play at the high school i'll stand and watch.(it worked on friday night lights)

It will be disappointing not be able to play at the City Park(stadium). Its very convenient to one of our favorite eating establishments on the road--the restaurant is right there at the park. Hope they can get something done by the time the Mustangs come calling.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
