Whitehaven @ Florence (AL)

Recommended Posts

Whitehaven is loading the bus and hitting the road to go down into Alabama and take on the Florence Falcons who beat Shades Valley (Birmingham) last week 38-13. Whitehaven beat Mitchell 26-6 last Saturday. I just discovered that Florence is in the same region/district as Muscle Shoals, who beat East last week 31-14. This is going to be an intense game.

 

There are a lot of questions on the Whitehaven side. Such as, will Rodney Saulsberry Jr. be available to play. He sat out the Mitchell game because of injury. Will the Wilson brothers (Barshay and Shabar) be available to play as well. Both of those guys didn't play in the Mitchell game either due to injury. We know that big Michael Perry will have to sit out this game, as well as, last weeks game against Mitchell. He'll be eligible to play in the next game if I understand everything correctly.

 

How is Ayron Thompson's knee? He sat out the second half of the Mitchell game with an injury to his right knee. The move seemed to me to be precautionary ... but still, I saw him with an ice pack on it during the 2nd half of the game.

 

Of course, there are other concerns ... but I want to hear from others on what they think.

The Whitehaven staff better learn how to get the new QB adjusted. I only saw the second half against Mitchell, but It seemed like they were afraid to throw the ball. They might have thrown the ball once or twice in the entire second half last week. Does anyone know if the new QBs are serviceable or not? Can the QBs throw a decent pass?

What's up lasal2000. Long tme no see on the boards.

 

I was there for the whole game. The QB has a very lively arm. He actually has a very strong arm. I liken his arm strength to a young Doug Williams. I think that he and Donte are more then just serviceable as QBs. However, I do wonder if he can throw a pass that requires some touch and loft on it. I haven't seen that from what little I've seen. Appearently, the coaches didn't think we needed to air it out much to win the game. However, I must say, when we were on the goal line towards the end of the first half, and we threw three passes to try to score, and came away with no points ... I saw our TE (Mr. Rudd) go across the middle three times and he was in single coverage on all of those possessions. I thought he could of had at least one of those passes thrown in his direction. He has good hands and he had a size advantage on the LB that was covering him. However ... let me just say, I'm not at practice everyday, so I don't know what he can do and what kind of confidence the OC has in his ability to do some of those things. If he's the starter, then I would like to think that he has the capabilities. It's the fist game, so I'm not going to get overly concerned.

After I talked with some co-workeres, It became appearent to me that Florence, Alabama is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Memphis. I'm contemplating going down for the game. If I could put some gas in some else's vehicle and roll with them ... that sure does sound tempting.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
