The only comments I have for this game with D-B is . . . Its been 13 years since we beat D-B and 27 years since we have beat them in their own back yard.

 

With the way things have been going for us, I don't expect any good luck, good bounces, and good calls from the refs. All odds are against us. D-B looks to be running in stride and we . . . uhh . . . we . . . well, I have no words.

 

Toppers, just give it all you have on the field and when it is all said and done and you have given it all you have . . . you just never know, that is why we play the game.

 

HAVE FUN GUYS!

One thing to remember is that Gilligan and Science Hill has nothing to lose in this game. Their out of the playoff picture, don't have to hide any plays from scouts, and don't have to worrie about injuries to key players. Also if you remember Smith said he was going to bring a new style of football to east tn. He said it wouldn't be unuasual to see them fake punt, go for it on 4th down, fake field goals etc, etc. Since he pointed to this game with DB when he first arrived in Johnson City, and since he has nothing to lose, I look for Gilligan to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the Indians. A win over DB would actually put him in a positive light in Johnson City and everybody would think he's turned things around. Another thing to consider is with this style of "desporation football" if a team has some luck along with it and the other team "dumbs up" it can really change the outcome of the game. But then again if you remember at the first half of the season when DB was 1-3 and Science Hill 3-1 there was alot of talk coming out of Johnson City and they were chomping at the bit. The DB coaches and players remember this and it will be a factor.

After the game last night with CC,I said SH must not have very much.Today,what SH has is nothing to loose and I'm not sure what risking any futher injuries can gain DB in this game.I think GC will do as he did last night after he sends a message to washington county.It was great to see number 30 show what he could have been doing all along.He is fast and every time he has been in a game this year or in'06, he has done well.The defense done the smart move again this week,except didn't wait until they drove the ball down the field. A four man front with #18 and #33 at linebackers.It shut them down until we gave #33 a rest and they moved the ball about 25 fast yards.

    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
    • If Heritage moves down and Alcoa moves up the best thing for Heritage is to do what William Blount did when theystopped playing Maryville or meet certain defeat. Honestly can't see Alcoa not moving up the way the county is growing. Might be in the Mountaineers best interest to stay in 5A because none of those teams on their schedule are anything close to Alcoa.
    • I say over as well. Barney, regarding the move to 4A, will the cross-town blowhards move up as well??
