Who wins District 8AAA? in 2014?


Recommended Posts

I'd have to give a slight edge to Shelbyville to repeat due to Mason Cunningham returning under center. They still have to replace a lot at line and most of their wide receivers lost to graduation.

 

Several teams have a shot this season with the district wide open! Anxious to see how the new coach at Coffee County has his squad prepared. Will Columbia climb back to the top of this district? What about John Olive's Wildcat team?

 

Give me your thoughts on each team and who you see doing well this season.

Tullahoma had only its fourth losing season since 1993 with a (5-6) record.  Franklin County got hot at the end of the season and really got shafted I felt not making the playoffs.  Some of the playoff tiebreakers have got to be re-examined.   Lincoln County only had one loss in the district last year to a red hot Shelbyville team at the time.   Lots of things could happen this year and I still think Coffee County will get a signature victory over someone this year.   Probably in the second half of the season.

I believe Shelbyville is playing a scrimmage at Mount Juliet on Friday 16 May. Come on up to the Bear Den. Should be a good test for both teams. Kick-Off is scheduled for 6 PM.

Probably be at the Tullahoma intra-squad scrimmage on that date.  Please come back and report on how both teams look in the scrimmage.  Shelbyville has a lot of holes to fill.  Lost most of their wideouts with any game experience.  Be interesting to see who Cunningham chooses as his new favorite target.

 Had a good visit with Head Coach John Olive yesterday.  He seem to feel that Shelbyville and Lincoln County, (both5-1 in the district last season) will be tough again this season.  He expects a lot of balance this year much like years past.   Tullahoma had some bright spots while I was watching yesterday.  We plan to have a "Spring Wrap Up" show on The Ticket soon so I'll go into more detail at that time.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
