2008 1a picks

[CleatlessInjun]

Opinions are what they are and everyone is entitled to their own.My opinion is, the power is in the East. My top 5 would all come out of the East. Trousdale and South Pitt would be my two top picks, several other teams I expect to be good are Oneida ,Midway, Friendship, Hampton. May be a few sleepers who might surprise all of us.

 

thanks pujo for the honorable mention, But let us make it thru spring and the season, then we will let the cards fall where they may. We have a good bunch of kids who are working hard, and we will try to do everything with pride, class and character.

yes Satterfield is gone for trousdale cnty.. I just drove by spitt's practice,.. wow.. looks like a small college lol good size boys PS John Chevis was at school today looking at David Jones.. lookout people he is the real deal... that makes Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, memphis, and others.. very strong bench over 400 lbs.. 4.5 speed can cut on a dime....if u saw last years team he is #2 all state MVP of state title game defense... all A student........ very good manner's. Great kid.... BUT lookout for a few more on this team.....

 

 

That is great news about David Jones....he would be well received by the Big Orange Nation. Hey Geno, any further updates on Tana Patrick?? Keep me informed on how spring practice is going...I will be at the Trousdale Scrimmage but that will be the only time I make it down. You should remember who this is!!!

It's actually Mississippi State who is about to offer.

The top 1A picks in the east would have to start with South Pittsburg, Trousdale County and Friendship. It sounds like this kid at South Pittsburg is close to achieving Legend status. Will he become a true Living Legend by the end of this coming season? It sounds like he has unlimited potential with great vision, finess, power and superior cutting ability. These are the things that transform you from an average player into a Legend. When, where and what time will this scrimmage take place?

Everyone appears to think that Trousdale having a new coach will be an advantage to some teams like SP but I think it may be a false sense of security.

 

Here is an example: 1968, Phil Beene steps down as Pirate head coach, Don Grider's Pirates win 1969 A state title the first year. Don Grider retires in 1992, Danny Wilson's Pirates loose in the 1993 semi-final by 2 points to Trousdale who won it. Wilson's Pirates won it in 1994. Vic Grider took over in 97 or 98 and and made it to the semi-final against TC in 98 and won it in 1999. I don't expect TC to be any different. The Pirates have historically done over all better during the first 3 years of a coaching change when compared to other times. I would almost feel better if Satterfield was running the show this fall. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

in every instance the coach before left the next a loaded Team...you just gave 3 instances about south pitt.. now what about trousdale????? i dont think so./ i think its gonna be a hard transition.... to much... satterfield wasnt just a coach he was Trousdale.. I have some opinions about past coach's and there greatness but ill refrain from that out of respect.. but after talking to hundreds of ex ball players ...It doesnt always take a great coach to lead a gifted team.. BUT a coach sure can ruin some chances of winning for sure.......Just look at that post of great football players of the past.. where did most of them go besides home? no where.......but they should have and could have....

I had a long conversation with Coach Creasy in Tuscaloosa and talked to several people who know him. He was at TC before and he believes in what they have been doing there. Don't expect many changes. I think you will see the same ole TC that you saw under Coach Sat. Coach Creasy will have TC in their usual form...tough to beat. Great thing is we will get a sneak peak in just 11 days.
