And this program has athletes,don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise....

 

 

And this "SCHOOL" has athletes,don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise....

 

No Union City High School very likely has the BEST athletes in 1A. Most, however, are not involved with the football program. So again I say that these two coaches have the difficult challenge changing the culture in Union City back to a football first community. In order to do that they will need to win ALOT with the "great" athletes they had last year. Don't give the mess about having a strong JV or 9th grade group because they were only fair. So who are the new stud athletes from either out of the halls, off the hardwood or as some are infering from other schools that have joined the program since Bowling came to town? The next question is how are they going to transition from not having played or never playing to being able to beat McKenzie or Westview? Because that is what it will take to get folks to notice then you need to go DEEP in the playoffs. I do not see it happening.

Riverrat, I'm not sure if telling you names of kids coming out for football serves any purpose to someone who doesn't know about us anyway. Yes, UC does have good athletes, Coach Bowling will turn them into good football players. The turn around will not be in a year, maybe not two before we are winning again against the stronger teams. But I can guarentee you this, the mentality and toughness of the football team has already changed. The team will be more physical, the winning will come as a by product.

UC has been thumped by Westview the last two years and has "played" with mckenzie every year. Like Atlas said you have no clue what your talking about. The bigger improvement is gonna be seen in the trenches and at linebacker. This is by far the weakest area of the tornadoes the past two years. Coach Moore will be missed because he was the one that got some of the athletes walkin the halls.

i see bowling and kennedy as men who care more about money than anything else. they took a talented dyersburg team and turned it into a boring dissapointment. i can't blame them alone. d'burg always tries to buy a gold ball. they needed a new coach last year and bought him and a qb. sadly ,you saw what they got. it's really what they deserved. i hope bowling and kennedy have much more success in uc, but if they are recruiting players then they are the snake oil salesmen they appeared to be at dyersburg

I would say to this statement....Just move on...You folks got your man back...Coach Bowling did offer to give up his position as head coach to Coach Counce soon after his hiring....Coach Counce went on to coach at MBA anyway....That seems to be selectively forgotten....I would also say that if Bowling and Kennedy are just in it for the money then they came to the wrong school..I'm sure both took a pretty good pay cut leaving D-Burg for Union City.....Finally saying that Dyersburg WAS state championship team is a bit of a stretch....They had potential,sure,but to put that definative tag on that Trojan team is a little much.....

Ride on! Coach Bowling is a class act. At least when you see him, he'll speak to you. Good luck in UC.

Just look at McKenzie....they thought all they had to do was show up and take the trophy back to Mckenzie and they had the same coach.

 

Coach Bowling will do very well in Union City....as a matter of fact, we have had one of the best talented kid to come out for his Senior year. He WILL be a play maker.

 

I personally heard coach Bowling tell a fan the other day...Union City may not win many games ( Buy They Will ) but everyone will know after palying us ( U C ) they have played football.

 

We will see.

Some fans might have thought that simply because they don't watch the game films, but nobody on the McKenzie coaching staff ever believed that it was going to be a cake walk like you are implying. Everybody on the inside were fully aware how athletic those guys were going to be.

The most athletic class UC has had since 2000. A lot of them just don't have the self discipline necessary to play high school football. These seniors undefeated in middle school until the TMSSAA championship game in Memphis. The school that beat them had an enrollment over 1200. The atheletes are there.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By cbg · Posted

      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.

      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.

      Pemberton Leaves Rhea for Campbell County

      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.
