Oppressed, I agree with everything you said. As for the DC, he cant go out on the field and tackle for them. I have a son on the defence that starts. He was embarresed by our performance, but happy with his individual play. Finished the night with 3 solos and 5 assists and 1 knock down in the endzone on a 2pt conversion. He said he give it all he had. Friday night was like its been all year in our big games. These kids dont want it bad enough. There is no leadership from the upperclassmen. The lack of desire to go out and play the game of football is sickening to watch from this years group of Mavericks. Worst I have ever seen. I wish the younger kids that are playing would just take over now and start building the attitude of the future, because its all that we seem to have left

.....Oh, and did I mention, I'm NOT a fan of the new DC? NOT YET, anyways. I hope for the teams sake, he proves me wrong. Just because you played football, DOESN'T mean you can COACH FOOTBALL.

Watching your team lose isn't very fun is it oppressed? Now u know the frustration I feel. Give em time and see if they don't get better. Good luck!

@ THEMANCONAN...I don't think this kids dad is either WHAT you think he is or WHO you think he is. I know this gentleman personally and I'm here to tell you he's worse on him than ANY of his coaches are....maybe part of the problem. I don't know. I do know that this team is gonna have to pull together if they expect to start winning. Receivers, qbs, and DEFENSE.

 

@ ACM22...AGREED!!! THIS TEAM...THIS WHOLE TEAM DOES NOT WANT IT BAD ENOUGH. If that's the case, then I'm with you. Move over and let the younger players that WANT IT, HAVE IT!

 

@92D...I think you're a good guy (even though I love aggravating the heck out of you) and I respect the loyalty you've shown your Dragons over the years. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE MAVERICK FOOTBALL. PERIOD.

Opressed the whole sophomore class is trying but there is only so much they can do until its time or the coaches themselves chalk this up as a rebuilding year and start over. Maybe it wont get to that. I hope not. There are some very good senoirs on this team. Hopefully they'll get it going at the right time. We are 2-1 in the district and in control of our own play-off destiny. There's plenty of football left. I aint give up yet.

I know I am new to the site and only posted 2x's (aside from a "lets play football" comment)regarding our defense. Not to say I told you so... but I was afraid that I saw this one coming. Powell is good, but I dont think their offense is that much better than CAK. Yep we lost pretty bad to CAK, but the boys were in the game until the 4th QTR rain delay. In that game I looked for the coaches to keep the boys heads in the game during the intermission.

 

This week I came away from the game thinking the coaches dont know what they have from a talent aspsect and what kind of offense we are going to run. I know they want to run a gun slinger offense, but we dont have the QB's to execute. I think there is some promise at WR but to one of the other comments on this post you have to get the ball within their general vicinity.

 

You are not going to win big games rotating 3 QB's per game (11,5,15). Figure out what you do best and go with it on BOTH sides of the ball... win or lose! I think it confuses the team and they give up when the see the coaches (right or wrong) just trying to make something happen.

@ Opie....No, Thanks. (on the Kerr trading)

 

@ mavhead...I agree with a LOT of what you're saying. I think part of the problem IS that the COACHES don't know their talent or what exactly they ARE (the talent)is capable of.

 

@ Oskie...NOT all of it is coaching, I agree. I understand there are some extra curricular activities going on with some team members. Let's just say what you do OFF the field DIRECTLY effects what goes on, on the field.

 

@ ACM22...I hope you're right. Maybe they will gel at the right time...

 

@ RR....I'm still NOT impressed with Hammontree. Not yet. I sincerely hope you're right about him and I do realize these "things" sometimes takes time. We shall see.....

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
