Since I haven't seen either team this year I don't have any idea who will win, but I hope SD wins this game.  Nothing against HVA at all, I'm merely throwing my support behind Coach Clark Duncan.  I respect the way he handles his business and goes about building a program.  He certainly isn't going to win over everyone with his old school approach to discipline and team first mentality, but he is a great coach and a good man from what I know and he isn't afraid to make tough decisions.  He deserves some recognition and SD surely deserves some success after all the tough years of losing.  Hope both teams play well, with no injuries, and the Cherokees prevail.  :thumb:

Clark may be "old school" in some respects, and especially in terms of what he expects in his players in disciplinary issues, but he is one "old school" coach who has done a good job of blending the old with the new.  He has put a great staff together, and he trusts his coaches to coach, unlike some coaches who are considered "old school" and want to have their thumbs on top of those guys 24/7/365. 

 

Really impressed with what I have seen from Clark thus far this year.  Obviously I had seen him work during his time at Powell, and expecially for the two years my son played for him, but now that I am back working with him again I am very impressed with the way he handles his program.  Class act.  Outstanding high school football coach and administrator. 

 

As for Friday night, going to Hardin Valley is never an easy task.  Even those great Powell teams of just a few years back had to work hard to get wins there.  HVA is a much more physical team than either of the teams that South Doyle has seen thus far.  They will present some problems for the Cherokees.

 

That said, I see a focused South Doyle team, and expecially after the way they lost to HVA at home in the storm game last year.  I believe the Cherokees will be ready to play, and that it will be a great high school football game.

I made one prediction, then I watched the WB vs HV game and changed that prediction.....now I have watched the SD vs Heritage tape, and I am going to change the prediction again, I still think that SD wins, but I think it will be closer than my last prediction.....final thoughts are:

 

SD 31

HV 24

    • Looks like South Pittsburg added some more talent!  
    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen. 
    • I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
