Knoxville Catholic @ Morristown West

Catholic looks like one of the more notable underachievers of the year. Sure they moved up but going from state champs to 5-5 is a pretty long fall - especially losing to Heritage. You have to consider the how great the effect of the coaching change has been. I say Mo West wins this one.

 

But maybe by next year those guys Coach Morris recruited away from Karns will make a difference? :lol:

With all the returning starters Karns could easily be at least a 5-5 team next year. Except that at Catholic they have to pay for school and study catholicism, what would the difference be between those guys who left Karns playing one place or the other? The QB who left would most likely have been the Karns starter next year. Will he be on the field or on the JV team at Catholic?

Who knows. The QB position should be wide open at Catholic next year. Great Upcoming freshmen QB that could possibly compete for the starting job.

I'll be the first to say Heritage is a better team than most of the teams Pemberton had on his shedule last year. Scott Co., Stone Mem., Apple turnover Co. (Anderson Co.) to just name a few. Pemberton was the master of scheduling. I would say unrealistic expectations by some

I guess AC, AE, Fulton, Kingston, Mo west and all the playoff teams were all pushovers. I was a fan of KC when Pemberton was there (a good old Roane Co guy)

i don't know after having seen these play that I would rate Heritage above Scott County and certainly not AC, Stone agreed. Don't blame all the scheduling on Pemberton. Many around have wanted no part of the Irish for the past few years.

Heritage has been knocking heads in one the best 5A Regions for the past few years. They had a bad record but they were playing against some very good teams in Ooltewah, Farragut, OR, WB (they had a pretty good run till the last 2 years). The new coach finally put his only D-1 player on offense for the Catholic game. If he would have done this all year they might be 5-5 or better. If I was the Catholic coach I'd tell my team we are finally getting some relief in the playoffs. (I don't know if they are, but that is what I would tell them.)

    • Jason Lambert should be the only choice for the Baseball coaching position. 
    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
    • What coach in their right mind would want to come here and set theirself on fire to keep her warm.
    • Shoulder not going to the #### show .   Macon will name the score this year.
    • Plenty of time. The former coach was busy with family and disappeared all summer anyway. Obvious choice has the same family issues. First game is in March 2025.
