I would like to congratulate West on a great season. You definitely have a great team and some of the hardest hitting players that HC has run into this year. Hope to see you again next year!   Now c

I am sorry I must be on the wrong page.  Can anyone point me to the West vs Henry County page?

Hey FactsOnly - no team should need motivation - if playing for the gold ball doesn`t motivate you to play your best - no comments from coacht will change that. As far as Maryville goes, they are 70 and 4 since moving to 6A (big boy ball) and have made the finals every year. So until something changes, it makes perfect sense to pick them.

 

The mystique continues.  What about 2018?  They win then too?

If they make the state finals in 2014 2015 and 2016, then yes - I will pick them for 2018. Until you can beat them year end and year out, they get to keep the anointed crown.

 

No, as long as no one they play thinks they can be beat, they get to keep it.  I'm trying to help you guys with the idea that they are not genetically superior with special attributes that prevents them from losing.  If you want to keep believing you can't beat them, makes no difference to me.  I'm sure that suits them fine as well.  I just wouldn't be very satisfied with that reality if it were me.

That's funny, but If I go ahead and predict that in 2018 they do win State will I be wrong?  It actually seems like a better bet than anyone else in state at this point lol

Hey Mav4life, Found you info interesting, but when looking at stats, I always think of this quote, "There are lies, darn lies and statistics." 

 

Just to change the tone of these posts, knowing some history I was surprised that West's nickname is Rebels (East Tenn was very Unionist during the Civil war) and they are playing the Patriots- will there be other remnants of the Confederacy on that side of the stadium?

I played against Maryville 6 times in my career. We always went into the game thinking we were going to win. Players don't believe Maryville is unbeatable. But now, as a spectator, it's clear that Maryville is next to unbeatable. You're not in a position to comment on Maryville. I and many others have lived through it.

Objection! I never stated they couldn't be beaten or that any team goes into the Maryville game defeated before it starts. Your comment was if asked - who would you pick to win state in 2015? You can choose to ignore their record - I choose to bet on it. They are 6A - I`m more concerned with 5A. Go Rebels - West and Maryville - gotta pull for my district.

Then their successes will continue.  I'm done with it.

 

What is anyone's thoughts about how the weather will impact the game?  Sounds like potential for a significant winter storm.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By boyfromsi · Posted

      I would have to think that the firing of the 2 teachers is just the beginning of future moves.  If not, it is woefully short.  If the AC school board thinks that the damage is just limited to Clinton, they are sadly mistaken.  Any outsider would view the whole school system as suspect, and rightly so.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By HTV · Posted

      Yeah. AC brass walked in to the building at Clinton and suggested that the principal start changing grades.  Honesty, the notion that anybody at AC was involved is just idiocy.  The ones who are hurt most are the kids who weren't involved in the cheating, but still are being penalized by college admission decisions and scholarship consideration simply because they went to a school that was involved in such a scandal.

      Clinton names new OC

      By oridgecat · Posted

      I heard it was ugly.  Coach Harig and the Redskins demolished what is left of the Dragon Wagon.  At this point, it is not certain that Clinton will even be able to field a football team for 2024.  No way the coach keeps his job, transfers gone, nothing left.  Back to the stone ages for the Dragoons.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By oridgecat · Posted

      Not even close, changing over 1000 grades?  Head coach changing grades to keep players on the field?  Not the same.  They will give Lieutenant Flip Flops the "Opportunity to resign"  right after graduation if not before.     Negative, the juvenile court judge blew the whistle.  Clinton admin, teachers and coaches started this fire.  Been going on for 4 years now according to Jones, one of the teachers that was fired.  This is truly pathetic.   The Dragon Wagon is #### up in the ditch down on highway 61 down there near The Spur.  Reap what you sew.
