Sorry jimbo but i just aint buying it. Athough JC is JC, they are considerably IMO down from the last few years (the HC report on 7A) and they are playing several young kids their self. Only one real experienced player, that being the pg. Also the game was at Cookeville, i think it will be a different story in JC. If CHS goes .500 it will be a successful year. :popcorneater:

Honest, I'm not playing dumb here. They came to Lawrence Co. last Saturday and played and all I know is what I heard is that 4 starters are gone for the year. My question is, what happened? Did they quit or were they asked to leave? In either case, why? Cookeville has a good program and it was not the kind of game we are used to having with them.

I really do not want to say too much, but basically the four kids quit over a dispute with the coach. (it is in the Herald Citizen so I will go ahead and say. . . ) the dispute centered around the punishment of another player for "whatever reason".

 

A 5th player has since left the team for unspecified reasons.

 

I didnt like the way it was reported in the H-C, as it seemed to put it as a bunch of kids and parents on a vendetta. That was not the case.

 

Not trying to throw anyone under the bus here, but I think the kids (those who left, and those who are still playing) were unfairly thrown under the bus.

 

I wish them all well, and I hope that Jimbo is right. Go CAVS!

    • I have no clue if Derek tried to talk some since into his dad or not about staying here. All he is going to accomplish is going from the oven to the frying pan. If I were the coach all Ale would freze over before I set back and watched one of my good players leave without a fight.
    • If this is true, South Gibson is taking a big chance. Passing on an experienced coach for a guy who has never coached at the high school level is a high risk move, especially in that district and region.
    • Dorian Eskridge was HVA's best back, 2011
    • Jo Byrns was a very solid team last year. Imo, I thought they presented the biggest challenge for us on our path to winning it all last year. I expect them to be in the conversation and one of the final few teams playing in Murfreesboro
    • I'm not sure you understand anything if you think DB's career and AD's career are comparable.  This is a terrible take.   Not to slight AD, He was a good player and he got better as he matured after high school.   But Desean had over 8,000 yards in HS and was a two-time Mr. Football.
