Recommended Posts

Fulton has a great recruiting staff at the 8th grade level, they do a great job getting the kids from other schools to come to Fulton... Guess they will enjoy their recruited team all the way to state,

someone seems angry... catholic takes as many players as fulton. Who wouldn't want to play for winners? Yeah tee martins son Amari a 2 year star for fultons 8th grade team ended up where? Catholic but you probably didn't count that as recruiting huh? Quit crying and support your team.

Not crying facts are the facts year after year the 8th grade coaches go around selling their travel program to al the athletes in the area telling them about all the tournaments they will play then the sale begins, I think most students come to Catholic for privte education, hey more power to you guys if you have to recruit to win then recruit just do't try to act like you gusy aren't the best at it, it probably helps to have someone from your school in bed with TSSAA..

I've been reading on coacht for years how schools recruit. I honestly don't think that these schools do. I think some outsiders like youth coaches try to steer a kid to a certain school but those are few. When you're winning parents and kids want to play for that school. Your performance and tradition recruits kids. Schools like Maryville, Greeneville, Fulton, Oak Ridge, and Science Hill sell themselves there is no need to recruit. I sent my son to Catholic because of the academics (and we are Catholic). He's been attending Catholic games since he was 2 so he's always wanted to go there. Some people don't realize it but catholic had sent a lot of players to college to play football. Since 2007 Catholic has had players sign at Notre Dame, Baylor, MTSU, Navy, Duke, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Bowling Green, UT and numerous 1AA schools. Exposure is big for kids. I remember my son telling me after a basketball game last season that Amari was coming to Catholic and he said the reason was the academics and he knew he'd play as freshman which he did till he got hurt. The cheating accusation gets old. It's sad that people believe that the only you can win is by cheating?

Kids come play for the Fulton 8th grade program simply for the fact they have the best coaching staff in the area for that age group and they have a history of championships. Kids wanna play for a winner. And to be honest about 95% of the kids on that team go the middle schools that feed into Fulton. This was the first time in about 6 years that program hasn't played for the city championship.

They have a good program. My son played for Catholic Youth last year and the Falcons beat us in the championship game 13-7. They were well coached and huge.

How do you explain the Silvey kid that went to Catholic from Loudon where he played 8th grade ball last year. I'll tell you. A free education and a place to live, courtesy of Catholic High School. Not crying facts are facts. Not against Catholic fans like QSouth89 and others, but Irishlife is giving y'all a bad rap with posts like that.

Why do threads always end up pointing fingers to schools recruiting? Can we talk about the matchup?

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend due to work. I hope south will play their hearts out and the game is free of injuries but, from what I have heard about Fulton, they are a great football team with virtual no weaknesses. If there are any I'm sure that coach h will find them. Go Rebels!!

I see your point totally but many of our games we have put up 40 and 50 at the half. So do you take your starters out in the second? What happens when they face some adversity or a team that can compete with them. If our starters never played past the 2nd quarter they would not know how to handle playing a full game. I know that sounds like a poor excuse but it really isn't. I assure coach rob black is one of the classiest men I know and he would never run up the score. You can view fultons rushing stats this year the second and third string backs have scored 3 and 4 times respectively. The back up qb has 2 tds and the back up fullback has even scored once. So our back ups go just as hard as the starters. No running up the score on Fulton's side.

I know what your are saying about second and third string scoring. But, I guarantee coach is not just calling dive plays. He is probably running same offense just like first string. There is a big difference.

Pull your head out of the sand. Lots of school recruit.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few.  
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
