The guy coaching WB now.

Played against him then and seen his teams play multiple times after that, not that impressed. His coaching didn't win them that game in '95.

Shad is a good coach. The Govs already look 10 times better than they have at any point in the seasons since '07.

You got that right. Every one of those teams besides maybe Karns and Campbell C and Cumberland could beat you on any given night. Lot more parity back then it seemed.

Calvin Shorts last year as the Green Wave coach. We had a really good defense that year. I remember that the Wave could not get any consistency moving the ball for 3 qtrs in the Oak Ridge game. Then they made a change at QB and we did much better but still not enough. Edited June 12, 2015 by GWAVE1

If you held Riverdale and us to under 17 points then yeah y'all had a really good D. We went on to play Riverdale in the semifinals after we beat y'all and got trounced 28-0. I used to have that Gallatin/OR game on VHS (well, my dad did) their is a part where our RB breaks free on a long run down the sideline and you can see my dad running in the stands with him with his arms outstretched it's hilarious lol That was a smashmouth ballgame.
