The big game is less than two weeks away, we will be reading the results in the paper at this time. What is everyone's opinion on where we stand? I haven't got a chance to see them play just yet. Maryville will probably be that first chance. How have the players adapted to some of the changes with coaches etc? Who has stepped up and made an impact early and are there any injuries that could cost the Devils against Maryville?

I can not think of anyone who has stepped up and made a huge impact in the first two weeks in pads. However, I have seen about 2 practices and 1 scrimmage. From what I have heard, there is a long list of injuries. Many are out for the season. I think two more could be. There has been plenty of street dressed guys at practice every day. Halls will need to prove to me that they will be able to score enough to win games this year. The offense needs to come together and find some playmakers. Right now, I see a 14-3 Maryville win. I hope the offense will catch up to the defense. If this happens, it could be a great ball game.

 

On another note:

 

Are any Soph. going to make an impact this season? Have any looked promising in practice? I know #6 is going to play alot. Is there anyone else? I was just thinking about the future a little bit and wondered if we should worry.

Ironman Has me worried on the injury situation those names he mentioned contained my picks for playmakers this year.

 

With Maryville less than two weeks away, we should all be very concerned about those injuries mentioned. Most of those would contribute on both sides of the ball. If some new guys do not step up, it could be a rocky ride. We have 3 scrimmages this week counting the jamboree. We need a injury-free week.

Injuries, unfortunately, are part of football. I'm not so sure we've suffered any more than any other contender in our conference. I do hate that Zabowski may be out for the season, but I think our real threats at reciever are still doing just fine.

 

That said, this is a running team and when the run blocking is on, we will gain yards routinely, even against Maryville. The key in that game will be ball control.

 

While we still need a few to continue to "step up", IMO, several players have stepped up already.

 

O'Laughlin, Gresham, Bright, Cottrell and, of course, Leonard.

 

When Taylor gets in his groove at QB, the entire "O" should click.

 

The defense looks pretty darn good to me.

I was not attempting to alarm anyone or doom and gloom the situation. I really think Gresham's injury hurts the most. I hope he is able to return, even with a cast, by Maryville. Turner (not Taylor) looks to be an improved runner. He does need to become a solid passer to balance out the offense.

 

Our defense is pretty sound. However, DB was able get several good runs against us. CAK will test us against the pass on Tuesday.

 

The jamboree is this week. It is almost here!!

 

Go Big Red!!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
