Recommended Posts

Farragut has about 45 players out this year on the team and the freshman has around 22. A lot of guys going to have to play both sides of the ball. The o-line will start two to three sophomores this with not a lot behind them either. Not a lot a speed either defense might be worse then last years team going to be interesting to see what happens this year with Farragut. There first 5 games go like this at DB, OR at home, at LC, at Fulton, and at West.

Are you sure about those numbers? That doesn't seem possible for a school so big.

I'm not sure why everyone is thinking Farragut is gonna be that great this year? They lost a lot of good players off of a 3-7 team albeit. Jackson Fain was a very good RB, he is gone. QB was pretty stout, he is gone. Like another poster stated, they have a very young team, too. It doesn't matter if they have a size advantage over us if you don't have any speed and that's something The Ridge has and always does have. I have seen a lot of Gaddis coached Oak ridge teams be outsized through the years that put a whoopin' on plenty teams that had more size then us. If you can't run it means squat. Oak Ridge takes this one, who knows what the score will be?

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
