Hopefully we can get it moving in the right direction. How did spring workouts look? What young talent do we have that will see pt this year?

 

I think that Halls will be good at TB and that will feel the void that they will have on the OL and they could also be pretty good on defense and I hear that they are playing a new defense...I hope that is not too harsh Rico.

What do you think about the Halls/Central game being the last game of the year? I can see Halls being smaller but quicker.

I think you may be right about the size. With few exceptions, Halls looked small in the spring game. The O-line will be the big question mark this year. If they can make some small holes, our RB's will find them. I have no idea who the starting line will be. I have heard that #79 and #50 will be there. They have good size and strength. I have also heard that #56 will start. He is strong but not very big. Who else is in the running to start? I think we need some soph. and jun. to step up.

I heard the QB, Dowdy is leaving for Oak Ridge. Can anyone confirm that.

i also heard that summer workouts were not be attended by many people, as few as 15 people were showing up on a good day.

Interesting post from someone who usually hangs around threads about Clarkrange. I am not sure how credible these comments are.

 

But....

 

My football playing neighbor (a freshman) told me that about 40 were working out in the mornings and around 40 more in the evenings. 80 is a lot different than 15. I think there was only about 15 or 20 there (QB's and Rec.) last Tuesday night for running routes and stuff when I went to walk on the track. I was told that this was voluntary and freshmen were not part of the group invited.

 

The same neighbor also told me that Dowdy was there the last day before the dead period. (Last Thursday) That would be odd to see someone transfer right before his senior season and just when he had become the starting QB.

Thats why they were posted as questions and not statements, sounds like you have the inside scoop! How did the players respond to Julian leaving and then coming back? did it hurt morale?

You posted a statement about what you heard and then ask for confirmation. Either someone is trying to pull your chain or you are trying to pull everyone else's. Either way, that is how gossip begins and you know it.

 

You must have been trying to provoke unrest with your statements/questions much like the newest question.

 

But from what I understand, He never "left." If there was an offer, it was resended before he could accept it. Nearly every coach will test the market from time to time. Coach Julian would be silly not to seek out his best earning potential.

 

I have been told that the players' morale and expectations are very high.

Trying "to provoke unrest"? I would say the fact that your coach wanted to leave but his offer fell though would cause "unrest"

And to clear it up their was an offer and he accepted it, he was leaving Halls! I dont blame him for trying to better his life for himself and his family. I was simply stating that he was in fact leaving Halls and many parents wanted him forced out.

And i doubt if 40 kids were at each work out, is their even 80 kids on the team?

Thanks for proving my point about your credibility and showing your true motives.

The offer was on the table and he accepted it and then Pemberton resigned and Catholic called and told him the offer had been revoked...and there probably is 80 kids on the team...and I think the morale is fine as ling as they win this year but if they start out slow and lose the first couple they will be calling for his head...and starting wiht Clinton is not a good thing!!! Just my opinion.

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
