White House vs. Portland (best rivalry in state)


Recommended Posts

That's like saying that Watertown is a good rival with Trousdale. HAHA, just because you play someone, does not make you a rival. Portland's program is a joke. Shady hiring + awful coaching = blowout. Portland has a lot of tradition and great facilities but is in a region where they cannot compete. I really feel bad for them, the kids deserve better. Whitehouse 48 Portland 6

One of the best rivalries in the state. This is the game both teams look forward too their whole season. White House was off last weak playing in a jamboree vs. Gallatin. Herd they took it to them. Portland had a bad outing last week but look to pick it up this week against WHHS. Portland will learn a lot from last week’s game and be ready to go. Portland has 6 or more returning starters on offense and 7 or more on defense, with that type of experience I look for Portland to rebound quickly. White House lost a lot of starters off a talented 08 team. (They should have won state) With around 4 returning starters on both sides of the ball. Looks to be a good game, as to be expected when these two teams come together.

Love to hear anybody else’s opinion over this big rivalry Go PHS!

I will give you Panther fans on here credit. You all never give up. Your team is terrible year after year but you all keep holding on to hope that one year they might turn it around.

Don't understand what you mean by shady hiring. Care to elaborate?

The principal searched high and low for an excellent coach. No one wanted the job so they gave it to an inexperienced coach. Give the guy a break, would ya? I'm sure he will pull it together Friday night against the Blue Devils.

Portland’s Principal has done a great job of hiring coaches. He has hired 5 new coaches who work well with the athletes at Portland. He went out and hired a boys basketball coach from Brentwood. :wacko: (Who has coached at several colleges and knows what it takes to play at that level). A boys baseball coach from Chattanooga who is very passionate about the game :wacko: . A football coach from Murfreesboro who is very knowledgeable and has played in a state championship game (so he knows what it takes to get there. He also doesn’t run wing-t, big plus). A girls basketball coach from Alabama that is very energetic, and a soccer coach from Gallatin who has taken them to the playoffs. Portland’s Principal is also working to get them off the states target list for graduation. So hold up before you start calling someone shady :evil: . Portland will be ready Friday night, they have something to prove. Portland 7 WHHS 0. :wacko:

White House fans, please excuse dapanfer. He does not speak for the town of Portland. He is an ex coach from the last few years. He is only getting onto this site to stir the pot. Making comments that we have the best team we've had in years is incredibly stupid. Ignore any future comments that he may make.

How successful have all of these new coaches been at Portland?

Did their teams improve from the last year with the old coach to the new year with the new coach? I know that the Girls Soccer coach was successful this year, but is that the sport that the City of Portland/Portland High School is going to hang its collective hat on?

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
