Wow!

Congrats to all the kids on this list but i see 12 plus from three schools (Adamsville, Grace, Trinity) and TC, who goes undefeated and state title has TWO.  Those two seem to be tokens from the Tennessean All-Midstate teams.  It seems to be that way every year TC has won a state title (except '97) when they rolled the All-State lists.  I am not saying any of these kids on the list should be replaced, but wow!  The bottom line is this: Grace (Knoxville) and Adamsville/Trinity (Jackson) are backed by large media outlets and those writers are voting for those and TC, along with the other rural schools, are hoping a major outlet's writers like (Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Clarksville, Memphis, Jackson) throw a bone based on the names seen during the end run.  I know its tough to see/know about sooooo many kids, but going undefeated and winning the whole pie means you probably have more than two.  I'm sure they will take the ring over that anyway.

 

PS - I really wish The Tennessean would bring back All-Midstate by class instead of the AAA/D-II AA team with some AA/A/D-IIA sprinkled in its 2nd and 3rd teams.  It was so much cooler when they did teams for each class and had a offensive POY, Defensive POY, and Coach of the Year for each class.  Just my thoughts.  Happy New Year!!!

Trousdale deserved more kids on the team as well, but the Union City linemen should have had more representation.

From an outsider looking in I agree as well, UC's line was very good ! I'm old style, line it up and run the ball, watched these guys in person against NC, the 4 point stand on the O line is yester yr but it still works...... Congrats to all the young lads that still give us the thrill of victory and sometimes the agony of defeat, congrats to all and happy new yr !

No offense to any of the Coacht posters but in the reomote NW corner of Tn we we reside we are accustomed to getting snubbed a little bit by the folks who vote on these things. However this year we got alot more attention than normal. Congrats to all the young men who made the list.

I agree "BigSwo", Humboldt got four (4) on the all state list! By the way, I'll be in UC this Friday for the Basketball game between UC & the Vikings!!!

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
