im not 100% sure on camps yet,the qb and backs and recievers are playing in a psssing leauge in knoxville,and there also staying overnight at a college somewhere,kingston does have a good line this year returning,i think they have a good coach,whos gonna have a big hand in the middle school program,and also the little leauge,i think kingston will be just fine,and maurice lane is one of those kids you only see maybe once every 10 years or so,hes that good,hes the second fastest middle school player in the state,and in the tennessee,kentucky all star game a couple weeks ago he had 4 rushes for 104 yards and a touchdown,but hopefully he stays at it,his brother is playing rb this yr at kingston.believe hes a junior,not sure how good he is yet..but im excited.

I agree Kingston will be a playoff team, not very hard when all you have to do is beat stone and scott county. Kingston is not going to a college camp to stay overnight, they went to webb and played in the passing league like they did last year. I hope your right jacket fan about the future. I just dont see kingston closing the gap on those two schools, especially alcoa I have seen there middle school team last year play cherokee and it was'nt even close, to many athletes. Kingston will be hurting up front after this year, there are no lineman coming up, especially with only 42 players out for them this year, this is definitley a kingston low for numbers. Maybe Coach harrison can eventually turn it around in a couple of years if he sticks around, I hope so , my son will be coming to play next year. Go Jackets!!!!!!

So...What are your thoughts on Blair Harrison so far?

I told you he was different, not in a bad way, just different.

I hope he is getting the underclassmen more involved in the practices, especially on defense, because they are going to have to keep the scores low to have a good chance in some games.

I look for them to be improved this year. Finish third behind Alcoa and CAKe.

And maybe win a playoff game. That would be a good season for 2012.

This will happen if he plays more than 15 kids in a game which I know he will. He will not be pushed by parents for playing time.

Kingston will not be as good this year as they were last year. They lost 18 plus seniors, that is a lot for a school that had around 55 players, They return no starters in the backfield and only one in the secondary. Kingston should finish 3rd in the district as they did last year, as far as playing more than 15 kids that is tough if you only have 42 or so out. LC, Mcminn Central, and Roclwood are all games that we need to win, just dont know if they can or not, being young and inexperienced sucks. One thing is for certain we will find out in about 4 weeks. Go jackets!!!!!

kingston has around 720 kids enrolled,i just dont see only 42 players playing this year,unless they dont suit up freshmen,they had more kids playin when vic was coaching lol?? i know of at least 20 kids when i was playin in 2001 that didnt play cause of coach king,all the favorites he played,ride ur seniors like crazy both ways is ridiculous,player development has got to be better now,as far as the season goes,kingston should finish 3rd in the region,and lenior city is gonna be stacked this year,i dont see kingston beating them this year,and if he develops the kids then having lineman wont be a big issue,as long as they work hard in the weightroom in the offseason,im just VERY curious on how this new regime is gonna turn out,if he loses to harriman they may run him out of town,btw who is the new middle school coach?

The new coach is wade creswell. He coached under pankey for a couple of years and coached the freshman team for 4 years. So far I think he has done a good job he seems to be organized and has things up and running, my son seems to like him, It will be hard to replace pankey, I dont think he was much on organization but he was an on field motivator who got the best out of kids and is a heck of a defensive line coach, he stopped by middle school practice one night to wish the boys a good season, I hope AE has a good year, Coach Pankey deserves it. I may be wrong Jacket fan but having lineman is always an issue, especially at kingston not to many 4.5 forty kids coming through roane county, so if you dont have speed you better have some guys up front to block. Kids that wanna play will play and kids that dont will find an excuse not to play, I dont buy into all the hype about not playing because of the coach. Every great kingston team has been a senior ridden team. 1973, 1981, 1989,1998 were all senior heavy that had a lot of guys playing both ways. I cant speak on Vic because I didnt play for him but I did play for Coach Gibson and we had at least 6 guys that played both ways in 1981 that were seniors, and by the way we were pretty good.I hope Kingston has more than 42 players when season starts I watched them practice last week and I counted 44 including freshman. Coach Harrison just has to keep his nose to the grind and keep working. I will be there watching, Go jackets!!!!!!!

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By ipb7 · Posted

      One final thought. Coach Keith claims he was not aware of the player's failing grades. I won't comment on that, just to say this, IF he did not, whose job was it to see that this kid did not play ball at CHS? That person should be looking for a job and they might be, I don't know.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By ipb7 · Posted

      They have fired the principal, 2 teachers, at least 1 counsellor and 1 coach so far. I don't see it from my view in Oak Ridge as a coach thing, he  was just implicated in asking 1 teacher to  fix 1 kid's grades.   In our local media(Clinton and Oak Ridge)the principal is who is the originator and pusher of the fraud. The others are peripheral. The coach isn't even the big story, just here on a sports site.  The media view is the principal did it to cause CHS to be seen as excellent by the state. He committed fraud to do that so he might spend a little time in jail IF that is valid.

      And from coach himself, he wasn’t told he was let go because of the ineligible player.    that’s just what the schools needed to happen to fit their bull

      Wish it was made clear before a coach gets let go or not retained instead of being sold as the reason he was in trouble. I was told the kids who got grades changed, 97% or better were non athletes but the coach is taking all the heat so the schools can pretend it wasn’t their job to know. heck, what do you think could happen when you hire husband and wife as head principal and head guidance….   that’s not being said though…
