I love that Shad said "We are not going to take a backseat to Maryville or Alcoa". That's the spirit!

... and you won't be letdown nearly as much when they treat you like a redheaded step-child.

That's funny coming from a Weasley!

He might as well be on coach t. Everyone else in blount county is.

I honestly don't understand why some of you think that is unthinkable.

In all honesty 91 i think realistically WB can look at 4 wins,but will be competitve in most.I can even see a fifth win if the kids are really buying in.This being the first season with the new HC and with the schedule you have i think that is reasonable.

This teams ceiling is higher than people think it is. I know... I know... I have said this every year but I have always been thinking about the potential that is there. Unfortunately WB hasn't lived up to their potential lately. But now they have a coach that can help them get there. If you have listened to or read anything Shadowens has said since he has been at WB you'll know that he keeps stressing that WB can win now. He also has compared WB to Smyrna. For those of you that don't know he took charge of a Smyrna team that had gone 3-7 the year before and led them to a 9 win season his first year there. All I have got to say is listen to what the man is saying. I know coaches usually try to drum up positivity but people should take notice of how much he stresses that WB can win this year. I think he really believes what he says and more importantly the team believes they can win. If this team stays healthy they will surprise people this year. Count on it.

You really dont think he would come in and say that WB is in terrible shape and its going to take 5 yrz to win do you?Coaches are like politicians they have to be to a certain extent.If he has the team believing they can win it helps his cause.I personally dont think it will be this yr,as another poster said it takes baby steps especially with a team that has never really been a winning team.Smyrna doesnt have to deal with Maryville and Alcoa in there back yard...You do.Then throw another good team like GB down the road in and all the corners are sewn up.I just think it will be much harder than you think.Its just my opinion so dont let it get to you,i hope you do well those kids deserve to have a coach with a winning attitude.
