North v Central

[lawnman]

I agree .. Only problem is the turn away of kids (tryouts etc.) !! Yes some kids are good and some kids ...well....will not and never step out on field (but football keeps them out of trouble for the most part) so I hope they give all kids a chance and politics stays away /to minimum!!

It sounds funny to say but turning down athletes sometimes is not a bad thing.

No idea about the game, but I saw where Central has a guy that is something like 6'6" and 360 lbs.     What's up with dat??

 

That is a monster ! I hope the kid can move that size to go with it

I seen him on BVDevil last video.

He looked like he would be slow but all he has to do is fall on you and your done.BVDevil stood beside him and the kid is huge.

Id put him over the center for sure

Ive heard a lot of talk about that happening but do you really believe it will.

That was the recommendation from the study that Sullivan County had done and it was officially adopted by the county board of education a few weeks ago. I think it will most likely fall in the high end of the 5A category though - not sure exactly how much of Central (Kingsport side) will go to the new school. Students on the eastern side of Central's territory will be shifted to Sullivan East. The numbers they are throwing around are that there would be two 1700 student high schools in Sullivan County. Much of the North population is threatening to jump over the state line to Gate City, VA. GC currently allows a little of that (I hear tuition free) but they could not accept an influx like that. North folks are up in arms because schools have been closing over in that area like crazy. The date they are talking about is opening in 2019 but plans will probably shift somewhat.

Sounds like it's going to happen and thanks for the info.

I talked to someone close to the raider team today. I was told they are much better than last year. 2014 was a bad year for North. Glad to hear North is much improved.

Well I decided too come see this game tonight and discovered that North has their own 6' 5" 355 lb player. This one is a senior and is the starting center.

Cougars 1 possession and a punt. Raiders get the ball at Central 40ish and drive it in for a score.

North 8 Central 0 at 7:44 in 1st Q.
