5A preseason Coaches Poll


Recommended Posts

They also platooned both offensive and defensive lines at will. Just because the names don't show up on the starter sheet, doesn't mean they didn't play as much or at the same level (which they happened to do). The substitution was the same for most other positions with little to no slip in talent.

Ok I'll take your word on it. I am sure you know about them wayyyy more than I do. If I was a betting man though I would bet on the finals being West vs Hillsboro, but that's my unbiased opinion.

Henry County is pretty much the same team as last year but with more experience. I wouldn't be shocked to see another 15-0 season.

Not sure i would call it the same team, but theres definitely a lot of familiar faces back including starters and backups who played a lot. The holes we were left with are filling up more than adequately as well.

Much respect to Hillsboro. I agree they should be a strong contender this year, but on this side of the bracket, if I was to exclude Henry County from the discussion (not that I actually am, only for discussion's sake), I'm still not sure I'd place Hillsboro over Memphis East. As someone who watched them play against us, I will say that the Mustangs were, in my opinion, a very, very close 3rd best team in 5A last year behind Henry County and Knox West, and the talent they return from that team is undeniable.

You're right. For some reason I overlooked them, but not on purpose by any means. If they gave Henry Co all they wanted and more last year and have a lot returning then by all means yes they should definitely be in the discussion. Realistically their are about 4 or so teams who could win it this year, with your Pats being one of them.

I don't know how much you can tell from 7 on 7 scrimmages but a good friend watched Oak Ridge at Catholic this morning and was very impressed with Oak Ridge.  His observation was their offense was very explosive.  Their skill sets are all fast and good athletes. He was amazed at how many players touch the ball and can make plays with it.  I heard same thing at Maryville College pass league.  If their QBs can not make mistakes and their able to run the football they could make a serious run. Their line looks big at practice.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
