Looked pretty ugly, but against a very good Catholic team. Govs playmakers were shut down all evening. Offense moved the ball decent when they were actually going down and distance. Kudos to Coach Ridge for scheduling a superb opponent for a meaningless scrimmage, hopefully the players use the loss to work harder before we see Loudon. Defense did not do too bad considering the competition and the starting safeties played banged up while on the field.

Personally, I am glad that they played a team like Catholic also....They can break that tape down and figure some things out.  No doubt in my mind that Catholic could beat everyone on our schedule (most badly), with the exception of Maryville.  As far as defense, I will have to disagree that we didn't do that bad, Catholic pretty much did anything they wanted to do against us.  I expected Catholic to be good, and while I would have liked to see us more competitive with them, the score of the scrimmage is not what bothers me the most.

Catholic was banged up too.  Number 21 who caught a TD and had one called backed played with a broken thumb.

Your son looks very good, QSouth89....#3 didn't look half bad either.  Good luck to you guys this season, you have a really good football team.

With games against Alcoa, Webb and possibly Fulton in the playoffs, we need all the luck we can get.  Good luck to you guys as well.

    • Jason Lambert should be the only choice for the Baseball coaching position. 
    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
    • What coach in their right mind would want to come here and set theirself on fire to keep her warm.
    • Shoulder not going to the #### show .   Macon will name the score this year.
    • Plenty of time. The former coach was busy with family and disappeared all summer anyway. Obvious choice has the same family issues. First game is in March 2025.
