Saw that The Robertson County Times has JB losing Friday night. Should be an interesting game. JB does have a couple of losses but I don't think we are ready to toss the towel just yet.

I can't say I blame 'em when you consider how poor we've played the run and WHH's J-Walker is coming to town. But like you, I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I know I've been down on the team this year but I'm not gonna deny that there's still plenty of potential there. We still have 7 starters from a team that made it to the state championship last year. But lets face it, the 6 players we lost on defense were HUGE. Brandon Holt at safety was probably the best open field tackler JB has ever had. Johnny Smith & Malcolm Meadows consistently got pressure on the ends. Michael Yates was all over the field making tackles at LB. And Castleman & Corbin were sure tacklers.

 

Fast forward to this year and pretty much everything I said about the players we lost you could say the exact opposite for this year...no pressure and poor tackling! I'm not going to single players out but everyone on the defense needs to commit themselves to stopping the run. The way I see it, we're just as big (if not bigger) on defense and just as fast so it's got to be mental. Getcha mind right devils!

I figured you did. I've listened in every week but last Friday I was pretty ticked off at the Devils and didn't want to go on the air and say anything bad about em. I dogged them enough on here. I'll give you call this week.:thumb:

Kevin I may have over reacted, especially the "...next three years" comment but that's how I felt after the game. With that said, I thought the '08 red devils would struggle but they made it to the state championship tied at 14 going into the fourth quarter with TC. But you have to admit, giving up 1,000 yards rushing in 4 games is alarming. I understand we've played some really good teams but still...that's too much! Coach Adkins must think the same thing because I hear there may be some changes to the defense this week. I know offensively we'll be fine once we get 100% healthy a catch a pass or two.

Yes he is Kevin. I think he has stepped off the JB wagon. I remember at the the beginning of the season he said that the road to the state championship had to come thru Cedar Hill. I appreciated his confidence in the team but that road is going thru SP.

I knew we were probably gonna lose 2 or 3 games in the regular season with this schedule. I just didn't think we would be so good at losing them. Our rushing D is a problem but I do think it can be fixed.

You think they would key walker the whole night though? If they dont then that is not good coaching. But once again i say it comes down to who is better WHH O line and Reid and JB O line and Adkins. I am not sure how good the line is but by stats Adkins looks very good.

    • We played South Side this summer and it went into OT and we lost on a last second shot. I thought our girls handled their pressure as well as we have in a while and that is the reason I think we will have a really good ball handling team. South Gibson will have their hands full with Dyersburg and South Gibson has never beat South Side. Back to what I was saying South Gibson needs another ball handler especially if they have to play South Side in a do or die game and handle their pressure. As far as who wins our Region, it will be must see basketball for sure and like I said I like our team. I like your team as well. Huntingdon is loaded 5 in and 5 out and you got a great Junior High Team. Huntingdon Fans are going to have a whole lot of fun the next 5 or 6 years. Loretto is really good this year. I got to watch them in Brentwood. They got a Freshman Guard that can go. Going to be a fun year. 
    • After seeing Southside this summer I think they will be better than last season.  Seems that the big three Southside, South Gibson and Dyersburg will be the region favorites once again.  In 2A Gibson County is the favorite in that region with a toss up between Westview and Union City.  I think Memphis Business and Gibson Co will represent the west this season.  I think that Westviews run to glass house may end.
    • South Gibson better get ready to battle in the deep end because South Side and Dyersburg will be a challenge. They will have to beat Dyersburg in the District Finals to avoid South Side in the Region. South Gibson better find another guard that can handle pressure and score to take pressure off of Dunn. They need to learn to score to take it to another level. They scored 29 and only lost by 7 last year at state. As far as Westview and Union City, they will be pretty good but Gibson County might have the best ball handling team we have had in a while this year with four guards on the floor with 3 PG's. We have 3 seniors with tons of experience. I really love this team this year. Looks like Westview lost out to the girl from Florida to USJ. Unless something happens they will have 1 player back with meaningful minutes. I know they will be competitive for sure but they will have their hands full. 
    • South Gibson drags you to the deep end and makes you like it. Tough group that communicates and really seems to love competing.  Union City will be improved but don't know how they handle nights were Moss doesn't go off.  South Side is fast and athletic but I don't think they're as good as last year.  Westview girls will be better later in the season because they are depending on folks that haven't done it yet.  Westview may lose a district game but they'll be the 1 seed over UC.  South Gibson beats Dyersburg for that district. South Side runs Jackson again.
