Ya , anything short of 100 pages will be a disappointment !!

 

The real shame this week is that both these games (D-B at Maryville, CAK at Alcoa) are being played on the same night at the same exact time.

 

Both atmospheres are going to be beyond great. Only problem is you have to pick a game to go to.

 

CAK-Alcoa II should be much better (in terms of atmosphere) than the first meeting. That was a Thursday night and a MyVLT game. This is the state quarterfinals on a Friday night.

 

The atmosphere at DB/Maryville will be nuts.

how do you think the lines match up? both teams o et d. i think the red rebels have the advantage either way-especially when you consider depth

 

Again, can't speak for DB because I haven't seen them. But their offensive numbers speak for themselves. Can't imagine their line isn't extremely talented.

 

The thing about Maryville's line, at least from my perspective in seeing them this year, is that they're extremely effective for their size, which they don't have a lot of. Think it goes back to well coached and well executed.

 

Which team wins the line of scrimmage will go a long way in determining the outcome.

What was the talent pool for this past season's team compared to others?

 

Obviously guys like Lane Bloom and Tim Green had a lot of talent. But how did the roster as a whole compare to others in recent years? Or others that Gregory has had at WB?

to be fair we were a little inexperienced this year, but i think they could have been more competitive then they were. in 2011 wb had plenty of talent and a big senior class and still finished 3-6

Looking at their schedule and results, there's a lot of 40s and 50s on the scoreboard. Have to assume they're extremely talented with the numbers they've put up.

 

And making the trip to Murfreesboro (either from Kingsport or Maryville) won't be easy for tomorrow night's winner. Not to mention having to play two extremely tough games in back to back weeks.

Being young is something Gregory has told me in past times I've spoken with him. He mentioned they started six freshmen in last year's spring game.

    • Defending 2A state Champs Westview Lady Chargers are pretty tough. They lost a bunch of production off last year's squad but returned some talent as well. They still McCall Simms, a Tennesseee Lady Vol softball commit as well as solid talent around the diamond. I dont think they are as good as last season but they will definitely be a tough out. Huntingdon Lady Mustangs seem to be pretty stout as well. Don't know much about Riverside other than Westview defeated them earlier in regions. West Tennessee softball is pretty solid all around id say.
    • Eagleville couldn’t catch up to Jones, he did have his location issues but in that game Eagleville popped up everything and the one hit they did have could have been ruled an error. Jeffcoat was a lot sharper in the beginning of the season last year than the end. ER ran out of pitching and still was in striking distance but none the less the better team one. Last seasons tournament was A LOT more balanced and talented. South Pitts starter is a Lefty who was low 80’s but couldn’t maintain his velo throughout the  outing, their #2 was more impressive last year, we knocked him around this year and his mph was down some. Their #3 isn’t bad neither, throws a lot of strikes and sits high 70’s.
    • He actually had a really solid spring.  I could see him getting some backup snaps on offense and be a regular on special teams.  Really athletic kid who can run. 
    • Heard Seq has gotten a lot stronger this off season. Can’t wait to see how the boys do this year
