I told myself I wasn't going to comment on any of your posts this year because lets be honest it's a waste of time. But I have to call you out on this one. Last spring when everyone was jumping all ov

I see what you are saying, had he hyped his team up and stated lets go knock off the number 1 team in the state in 5A, then you guys wouldn't have coughed the ball up or been penalized so much. Just m

Here is my guess. I don't know a lot about what some of them lost so it's mostly a guess.

 

1. Maryville

2. Dobyns-Bennett

3. Hardin Valley

4. Science Hill

5. William Blount

6. Bearden

7. Bradley Central

8. Jefferson County

 

Even if it's not D-B at the number two I think a strong number two will emerge.

I think 3-7 are really up for grabs and there might be some teams that beat a team that finishes higher than them.

Let me preface my post by saying this, I know that 7 on 7 is not real football. It does give you a good picture of a team in 2 major areas though: How athletic they are, and how well coached they are as far as discipline and scheme. 

 

With that said, I traveled down to Maryville College to watch a ton of teams yesterday in the annual passing day, mainly to see if all this hype about William Blount being decent is for real.  After watching what I believe was every team from the new region that traveled to MC, here are my rankings of the teams I watched.

 

1. Maryville: I didn't need to see them play.  They're the best.

 

2. Hardin Valley: This team is extremely athletic and will surprise some folks, especially in NE Tennessee.  A couple of big time LB's and a couple of really athletic WR/Safeties. Dobyns Bennett and Science Hill don't need to think they've locked up 2 or 3 just yet.  Not sure about how well they're coached though as it always seems like they underachieve.

 

3. Bearden: Again, I'm not predicting they finish 3rd. They were the 3rd best team from this region represented by a long shot.  They look significantly more disciplined than Hardin Valley, but less athletic.  Great QB (Big Arm), a couple of good WR's, and a good LB.

 

William Blount and Jefferson County will without a doubt still be competing for last place in this region IMO.  Jeff County has a couple of nice athletes but that's about it.  Shadowens obviously has a nice reputation and success as a head coach, but just to give you a heads up, he's basically got the same staff of assistants as last year's WB staff  (Not Good). He also didn't have the opportunity to bring his ball players from Blackmon either. William Blount is talent depleted, just as I had suspected (Less talented than Jefferson County).  WB will finish in front of Jeff though because those kids will play harder for Shadowens.

Haha! That's funny! And WB's best receiver (along with a few others) didn't even participate yesterday. Edited by Governors91

Don't listen to big poppa pump, WB will be greatly improved this year. I watched part of the 7 on 7s yesterday and while I was there I did not see many complete passes and didnt see anybody score on our defense.Our defense looked good and had a few interceptions and pick 6's. I didn't see our offense score either but our best receiver wasn't even there. Taking a team's best athlete out of the offense will affect any team.

Any turnovers in the red zone?

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By cbg · Posted

      What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.

      So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.

      Pemberton Leaves Rhea for Campbell County

      By Rhea Co. · Posted

      That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4.

      I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
