Volunteer Falcons

[Guest EastTennFan]

The Falcons scrimmage Sullivan East and Morristown East on Saturday at Volunteer...Volunteer will get the first look to see how much they have improved or taken steps back....Are the Falcons better or worse without Ryan Marshall???? They have a 6'8" now playing in his spot. Will Chucky Lindholm be a star player or just an average high school player????

[Guest EastTennFan]

On Nov 15th I heard the are holding an alumni game of past player along with Meet the Falcons....who do you think is the best past Falcon??? Roy Richmond, Brandon Reed, Ryan Marshall, Ryan Moore, Travis Morelock, Jody Pierce, James Mullins, Chuck McLain, Butch Patterson, Jerome Arnold,Bobby Smiley or Gerald Hurd??? What about the girls program...are they going to be better or worse this year?

[CHHS72]

I think you will find that Volunteer will be no worse than last year. In fact I think they will be better because of better team chemistry and the improvement of younger players. The players that have been practicing have looked good and they will be getting three of their best players back after football is over. I doubt they will be much of a factor Saturday even if they are there. They need time to retun to basketball form. When the team gels they will be a very good team.

Predictions on the Season

[Stokomo]

There have been coaches in the game for 10-20 years without a regional victory and some that have seldom been there. To give an assessment of when is not fair at this juncture. We have players back, but almost any other program would call this year's team a rebuilding one because of all the very young athletes. Only 2-3 seniors that are ready to help, one junior, and a host of Freshmen and Soph's that will make a major contribution to the team's success in the next two years. Coach Whitt. doesn't call this a rebuilding year because he expects a lot from his young guys. The seniors will bring leadership, although there is not a lot of experience on the floor.

What happened in Saturday's scrimmages????? Who won...who looked good....who looked bad...did the footballers play????//

[CHHS72]

Volunteer beat both Sullivan East and Morristown East. either game was close. Lindholm and Nelms played. They did not start and where worked in. Understandable in light of the fact they have not practiced with the team since last summer. Southam was not there for personal reasons.

 

They have a scrimmage with Science Hill in Johnson City at 6:00 Monday night.

[Guest EastTennFan]

What happened with the Falcons scrimmage at Science Hill?? They beat the Hill last year in a scrimmage....how did they make out????

[Guest cutnoslack]

i was at north yesterday and overheard someone say volunteer would scrimmage unaka today is that true and where unaka destroyed north yesterday chambers dominated the game and unaka is small but quick north has some size but will struggle in the watauga falcons have to much size for unaka

[Wilsonball]

hey Stokomo how did the scrimage go with Science Hill. Who won and what was the score.

[CHHS72]

Science Hill beat Volunteer badly. But then again SH is probably too quick for almost anybody they play and they have good size and depth. They should be difficult for anybody they play this year. Volunteer will do alright in their conference and against AA teams and most AAA teams in the area.

 

Volunteer has a scrimmage with Unaka tonight at Unaka.

 

The football players have to get into basketball shape. When they do Volunteer will be tough.

Good Luck to Volunteer this year! I know very little about their program but I knew some people that went to school there and that's a great school.

 

CHHS72 has your opinion changed a little about SH since you saw them play this summer?
