Signal Mountain 2014

[MountainTroll]

I recon I'z the only Sissy Mountain poster on here's anymore, but I figgered my Eagles need a 2014 thread, so here it is. 

 

We'z losin' our big FB, James McClellan, and TB, Diamez Franklin, but we got 4-5 strong and fast RB's that we will rotate frequently until the opposing defenses' tongues is draggin' the ground.

 

Also, losin' 3 starting OL, and that might be our hardest gaps to fill.  I expect some of underclassmen to get under some weight in the off season, so we should be okay on the OL.

 

I expect Teter will be the starting QB again.  All the WR's are back and some good young guys are working hard in the receiving corp.  I expect our passing game to play a more dominant role next year.

 

On defense, we're losin' a beast in Jacob Wright on the DL, and big Marcus as well.  Losin' a good LB in Dusty Hall.  But I ain't worried a bit about our DL and LB, 'cause most of them wuz Jr and Soph last year.  Our front seven will be our strength next year.

 

We've always struggled with our secondary, but Garland Wood, a freshman this year, really came on toward the end of the season.  He is probably the fastest guy on the team and should be a force at safety next year.  Our other DB's are all returning, and I thought the whole secondary was really starting to click toward the end of the season.

 

Overall, we're losing 8 seniors that saw significant starting time.  But returning 12 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 4 freshmen that saw significant starting time.  Last year we had a lot of players shifting around, with lots of changes to the starting line-up, and a lot of guys that rotated in, getting good playing time.

 

I think we will be an overall stronger and more balance team next year, so I expect my Eagles to be a contender in the playoffs.  Should be some good competition in 4a next year.

Don't know what the upcoming freshman class looks like, but the middle school team was either undefeated or had one loss last year, so there should be some talent coming up.

SMHS will(IMO) go 7-3 with losses to East Hamilton,Notre Dame and Greeneville.

Troll, Sissy Mountain has all kinds of tallent. I think your team will be more competitive in 2014 than the past couple of years. I'll be following from afar.

 

By the way, I saw that Childress man at Cooke vegas as we tamed the Lions and battled the elements. He said to tell you that you were a no good, low down, cheatin' and recruitin' troll. I just smiled and said "Troll likes you too." He's a nice on isn't he?

 

Go Alcoa! (And Sissy Mtn)

Our non-district schedule is (IMO) one of toughest around.  I say we beat East Hamilton and Bradley next year.  Honestly don't know what Tyner and Green_eville have returning.  The cheatin' leprechauns will should be a force, their last year in Division I, and they may be our first ever district loss since our first year against South Pitt in District 6A, but I say we'll whoop Notre Dames buts again.

He's a piece all right.

ND may cheat, but they will be tough in 3a next season. The have a beast of a lb that was a soph last year. I wouldn't be surprised to see them play Alcoa in the semi finals in 2014.

I'd say that would be a good possibility.

I don't see you beating East Hamilton. You should've this year but you lost your bull dozer runningback so I don't think you can pull that one off and Greeneville is like South Pittsburg they just reload and don't skip a beat. You should get Bradley and Tyner though. ND will be tough but that one is a toss up. Moon getting any D1 looks? That guy needs to be featured more with his size and speed. I'm just keeping it real

We will have a stable of good backs next year, kinda like several years ago, and our passing game will be more active and productive.

 

So far, Moon has offers from Vandy and Ga Tech.  Everybody is looking at him as an offensive tackle, but I personally could see him as a TE.  I think most of us on the Mountain want to see him with the ball more, but he is invaluable as a blocker in the wingt.  Would love to see him get the ball more next year.

Greeneville loses about 12 seniors. Qb, few WR. Some CB. But mostly our key players. But I still think GREENEVILLE can go undefeated in the season
