Dumb and Dumber...An Ensworth Perspective

Best football in the state?  St. Benedict 1-9, McCallie 3-7, Briarcrest 4-6, PJPII 4-6, Christian Bros. 5-5.  Whatever.  And ya'll wonder why folks think ya'll are elitists.

 

Just saying, in this division, you have to be better than one team to be in the Top 10, is all.

 

Big fish, small pond theory I guess.

The 4 semi-finalists in D2-AA could play with, and likely beat, any team in the state. Not trying to get in an argument with the Maryville faithful, but these 4 teams are right up there at the top with Maryville and maybe a couple of others.

 

As for the "weaker" teams in D2-AA, one of the 5 wins that Christian Brothers put on the books was a 34-23 whuppin' of 6A semi-finalist White Station. As a point of comparison, CBHS lost to MUS by 45-9 and to Ensworth by 40-11. One of McCallie's 3 wins was a 55-35 beatdown of 5A semi-finalist Cleveland.

 

All told, D2-AA played against 3 schools that are in the semi-finals of 4A, 5A and 6A. Their record in those 3 games, was 3-0, with the closest game the 11 point win by CBHS against White Station. Yeah, it's the best football in the state - by far.

I stand by my statement with one small correction.

 

I previously said, big fish, small pond. Winning a state title in this classification, being the best of 11 teams??!! Big fish, TINY pond.

Yeah - you're right. The SEC only has 14 teams - guess they are swimming in a pretty small pond as well. Conference USA fields more football teams than does the SEC - that means they have a bigger pond to swim in. Meaningful stuff - thanks for the observation.

Glock have the AD of the team that you represent or (pull for ) in Chattanooga or North Georgia ....call Coach Potter at McCallie or Coach Massey at Baylor and schedule a game. I am sure these coaches would like to stay in the Chattanooga area and play their non region games. Their is one more year left on the contracts and then teams can make a new schedule. McCallie out of region games this year were

 

Cleveland

McMinn co

Bowling Green K

Siegel

 

No school from Hamilton Co is on McCallie schedule. Kudos to Cleveland , and McMinn they will play just about anybody.

Yeah and the SEC competes with other conferences for a championship. I don't think D2AA teams have to compete with other classifications to win their 11 team championship.

 

Dang, I expected more from the private school folks.

Wait - what? So D1 plays in some kinda national championship after the State title games? I didn't realize that. I thought we were talking about the size of the pond in which they regularly compete - D2-AA is small (like the SEC); D1 is very large (like Conference USA).

I know this is tough for you to comprehend after seeing your previous stmts. I have no idea what school you represent - lower sloblovia i'd guess. you'd lose to multiple DII schools. and i'll go further than red robin - so would any public school this yr and other yrs. I've watched the so-called top rated schools in TN  outside of DII AA - one word - SLOOOOWWWW.  DII would LOVE to play for one single c-ship in TN. Of course we are the only ones who feel that way. You may want to tune into the DII c-ship dec 5th, they are the best teams in TN.  Pls let me know your school - i'll make sure we call them to sched a game. And i'll let you know what they say although i already know the answer

Meritage I think he is a Hixson fan. It's north of Chattanooga .... Pretty area near the water. Typical private school envy. They lost to Brainerd a team Ensworth and Baylor both beat 55-13 / 55-19.

    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching stuff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching stuff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
