who are we playing this week, Ridgeway or the 2011 Patriots,  this debate should not even be mentioned until the 2013 team wins the state championship, then we can compare and contrast.  By the way the 2011 team will never be defeated period. The 2013 edition still has a 12 more contests to win or lose.  15-0    3-0   apples and oranges

there has been several HC teams that were 3-0  but only 1 15-0 team,  compare this team to others that accomplished that 3-0 record

But no one from Ridgeway will post.  So we have to make up stuff to argue about.

I'll have to echo what Facts and SEC said. There was some activity yesterday by some folks from Memphis, but they were both Whitehaven fans. I can't say for sure which teams were 3-0 that we can compare to, but I can think of a few to compare to.

 

1978 - Don't remember alot about this defensive unit (I was still dreaming of being a Patriot one day), but I am sure that this hard nosed group made their share of stops.

1985 - Counce's first undefeated team. That team was great on defense and to my knowledge still holds the record for fewest points allowed in regular season. There were some great LB's and DB's on that team and a very hefty D-line. 2013 defense is much quicker I think, but has a bend not break mentality.

1992 - Another one of Counce's great teams. This teams defense was very strong as well. One of the best LB's I ever remember was on that team. What I remember is that most of the competition would say "you know after you've played Henry County, you feel it the next day and next week."

1995 - Very athletic team, but focus was mainly on offense. I think that the 2013 defensive unit is superior in most areas. Maybe the d-backs that year were a stronger unit but not sure.

2007 - One of Gaddis three straight trips to Semi's. But again, defense suffered due to most of the talent being put on the offensive side of the ball. A strong d-line but 2013 defense gets the nod on this one as well.

2008 - Many thought this was the best assembled team Henry County fielded. I remember lots of comments about "if we don't win state this year, we never will." Guess that got proved wrong. This team was also plagued by the offensive side of the ball reaping most of the rewards. I believe that the 2013 unit is a more cohesive defensive group overall.

2011 - oh wait, I'm not supposed to compare them to this group...

 

Facts - could you please check this post for accuracy? My memory isn't what it used to be.

I think your memory is fine. 

 

I have to say your comments about 2008 are dead on.  I thought I'd never seen a more talented team.  Fact is though, I'd never seen more individual talent.  Boy were they fun to watch!  2011 was the best defense I recall anywhere but did not have the opportunity to see the 80's and 90's teams.  I want to say 2013 will be the best, most complete package of all, but I won't yet.

Great summary & I agree with it 100%. Who is the LB from '92 you're speaking of? I can't recall & it's bothering me.

There are some other games throughout the state this week-end that could probably have that said for them. The Arlington @ Oakland game is one that comes to mind.

 

That score you posted might be a little low. I'm in agreement with BHS that the over/under for this game is probably hovering around 79. Both teams can put up points in a hurry. How's HC's secondary? Been tested yet?

As much as we know & respect Coach Wiley and the Arlington Tigers...Oakland will smother them Friday night....21 point margin or better

      That would probably be the AD and he should be gone too

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By MoEastBeast · Posted

      I disagree. No one is asking about the academic investigation anymore and that’s because the people at the top knew it would be their butts that would have to answer for a lack of oversight if that was the view of the public. How could they derail that completely? How about playing on the emotions of the people of the community by self reporting a kid academically ineligible when the news reported they and the AD knew someone changed the kids grades and no one brings that up? Is that kids grade one of the 1000 or so is that a completely separate situation?    and if it was a completely different  situation then why would they want to make the coach and team forfeit every game from the schools second best season ever in the mist of an active investigation where the coach was implicated but somewhat loosely….

      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.

      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
