McMinn Central @ Polk County

[TigerTrainer]

The game is over Polk won, nothing will change that. And you are never as good or as bad as you look.

 

I have to agree,, This one's over.

 

Both teams better start thinking about upcoming games instead of relishing or dwelling on the past. According to which side you are on.

This isn't the teams dwelling on anything,,,but I agree,,,shut 'er down and move on!!!

 

That was a whoopin though!

just a football fan of neither team just went hoping to watch a great game. Both teams came out a little to high with the fumble by polk on a punt return ( result MC TD ) and the safety given up because central couldn't get the right personal on the field on the previous two plays. MC made to many mistake to win that game against anybody let lone polk. Polk was on the short side of the field about all of the second quarter because of MC 's mistakes or the refs bad calls who knows dont matter now. But what does matter is MC folded up their tents at that point and thats a fact and I wonder if the role were reversed would that heart and pride of polk that I keep hearing and reading about would have brought them out of that predictiment dont know? Just my thoughts and dont mean a thing but I do know that all High school teams have heart they have pride in games that are still in question till the end but, how many have it when every thing you do goes sour? Good luck to both teams on their future season ,that was just one game.

to answer that yes polk does play with that heart and pride when things ain't going good. i've been around polk football all my life and have seen games when they was down or jsut getting blown out and they just keep fighting and playing hard. like the first game this season they was down 13 to 0 in the first then came back and scored 20 unanswered. i could tell you countless games where i have seen them come back or keep fighting when it ain't going good thats just how Coach Davis coaches his players getting them ready for life. i learned alot from him when i was there and it has helped me in life now and it will later on in my life. when things it going your way or bad you just got to keep fighting and thats how these boys and past players play that got that drilled into thier heads from him and the other coaches

First every post but I can't take it anymore. Stop the excuses! Coach L Davis use to say that when you point your finger at someone else you have three on the same hand pointing back at you(try it you'll see its true!). I also have watched the film and found every call although some were hard to detect if you don't know what your looking for( linemen raising and lowering hands after coming set to draw the defense off). Most very obvious- horsecollar, very late hits. Bottom line Central's very talented QB(that you stole from Meigs) was running for his life all night and did not have time to throw hence 8-19. Also Polk's O-lines outstanding job handling MCs stud defenders. That is the bottom line. You should have seen this coming. The JV games the last 2 years have been blowouts too the only X-factor was #15 wasnt in them. The sad fact is that the previous coach sold his soul to athletes with questionable character and fostered a thug mentallity to build confidence and parlayed it into a good record then bolted for greener pastures. Before you start making excuses for him about the wife not getting a job in the same system doesnt your current coach's wife work there and the asst. principal is in admistrative position at same school that her husband is coach? Hope you give current coach a chance since everyone says he and his family are good people with good character( he probably regrets throwing the headset now). At least he is the only one with enough guts to say the loss was on him when paper and radio goofs want to put it on the refs( home cooking please, you have your local boy always calling baseball games)!

 

Charlie Murphy is a genius. He has been spot on on every post I've read this year.

no excuses from this charger fan big cat. any MC fan who is making excuses for the loss obviously cant do simple math because the scoreboard did all the talking. i dont think coach regrets throwing his headset. coaches get fired up and things like that happen everywhere it is not a judge of character. i agree with the doctor, the talent pool in football at central is shrinking and the pool is growing at polk. in my opnion mc has always been a basketball/baseball school, the proof is in playoff wins since 2000 (baseball 2 final 4s and another state tournament this past year and countless basketball trips). it has been nice to see central bring back their football program the last couple years but i think the strength of schedule in the past has made the program look better than it actually has been. i havent been to every central game in the last two years but name one team we beat that was a real surprise????? my point exactly.

[bigcat77]

I appreciate your honesty and guts smokinote. Pretty well said. The schedule thing works both ways. I think both teams will learn a lot more about themselves this year. Dont know how we keep getting ranked so high after the lack of success in the playoffs the past few years by east TN teams. I think all of us on this side of Mont Eagle Mtn need to prove some things come playoff time including upper classification teams in Chattanooga before we claim to be world beaters. Not afraid to give it a try come November though.
