Which team was it a couple years ago that substituted the whole game in hopes to lose so they wouldn't have to play HC early in the playoffs?

Uh, I think that was Coach Shelby. Played his first string for two series and then took them off the field for the night....

 

That's tough to say that he wasn't trying to "take a dive" as Pilgrim so eloquently put. I was shocked at the time...

Now you know he wasn't taking a dive. He was trying to keep his best players healthy for the match-up against HC.

I actually asked the coach about that. There was know way of predicting how TSSAA would bracket teams ahead of time.

 

He did not throw the game, but instead used it as an opportunity to rest some key players during a game that had zero significance to the post season, in an effort to make a run for the Gold Ball.

 

He actually had a special team that year, that was led by a young man who currently is playing a very significant role at UT.

The rumor here in East Tenn. was who ever won the Kenwood - Northeast game would have to play Henry Co. game 1 of playoffs.  Northeast pulled there starters after 2 series and lost the game.  Kenwood played Henry Co and lost week 1.  Northeast played Henry Co. in the 3 or 4 round and got drilled.  I don't know what you call it but that sounds like, looks like, is, a way to THROW a game.

    • Great to meet you too.  We're going to work hard to get back.  
    • I extend my gratitude to ManCoverage for initiating this discussion thread tailored to the residents of Trousdale County. In times of adversity within our football team, it is imperative to have an outlet for expression, and what better platform than CoachT's Craigslist forum? I respectfully request that GOAT exercise discretion in his commentary, as his remarks have caused me personal distress.
    • I am inclined to wager a substantial portion of my financial assets on the likelihood that Waggoner shall transition to an alternative coaching vocation prior to the year 2028. It is my contention that discerning individuals are beginning to perceive his coaching prowess as lacking in the requisite excellence. Allow me to articulate the following assertion: Waggoner represents a markedly superior choice compared to the individual who perpetrated the act of fuel theft.   This individual exhibits a conspicuous propensity for frequent professional transitions, a trait which undermines his credibility and renders him an untenable choice for serious consideration. It is indeed confounding that his candidacy continues to garner attention and support.
    • Yeah same   It’s definitely true that tough times make tough kids, but some kids just have a big passion for the game and will become the best of the best no matter where they come from.
