HENDERSONVILLE @ RIDGEWAY


Newcastle

Recommended Posts

I just don't know what the outcome of this game will be. Part of me wants to see 9AAA in the state again... but the other part says not H-ville. Call that sour grapes if you like but I've never liked H-ville. With that being said if anybody on H-ville's team doesn't think they have a chance at victory I tell them to stay at home and only take the ones who KNOW they have what it takes.

 

Ridgeway has given up 34 points in 3 playoff games with most of those coming against back-up's during running clock 2nd half action. This game will be the tell-tale

of the football played west of the Tn river. Either they have figured out how to play football at the next level or the whole lot of them are playing on talent alone. White Station Beat Maryville last year by having better athletes. Not saying they played better football but had they better athletes. The real question here is are teams in Memphis just like Metro teams here in the mid state. Those teams have the horses for sure but no body seems to be able to harness all that talent to get a total team effort from them. I guess we'll know the answer to that question in about 36 hours.

Ridgeway has a VERY good coach this year. Coach Sutton came from Georgia where he played his high school ball. From there he played at the University of Memphis. After graduating,he took a Kingsbury program that was TERRIBLE and turned it around. After 1 year at Craigmont, he has landed at Ridgeway, which should be scary for the rest of the state because you do have a matchup of unreal talent and very good coaching. I agree that many Memphis teams have an abundance of talent with sub standard coaching. Coach Sutton's situation is not that case. He has the experience of small town Friday nights as a high school player and inner city memphis as a college player and coach. So, he approaches his teams much differently than others in town because of his experience. Don't think that you are going to see an undisciplined bunch of athletes running around a football filed trying to win despite themselves. I agree, that very thing happens Friday night all over Memphis, but not on Sutton's watch.

Ridgeway - 35

Hendersonville - 14

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
