redblooded Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Wow.....this thread has taken a wrong turn. Back to the game Friday night. HC 41- DC 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarm4Life Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Wow ! This topic has definitely peaked some interest ! Looking back in the past I'm sure Henry County had some dark days as well with losing seasons and despair. If I remember correctly DC went to the 2nd round of the playoffs just 3 years ago with a 10-2 record. That was a very talented team. That team had 2 players that now plays at UT Martin (a kicker and a LB) a TE/LB /Punter that starts at UT Knoxville leading the SEC in punting and others that went on to play in college. Talent is a tricky thing....you have it or you don't ! Enrollment doesn't matter if talent is not there. I believe it is not great right now but this team is very young. A freshman running back, a sophomore receiver and 3-4 junior receivers as well as a junior quarterback. No excuses, just sharing information that a former 60 year old Dad that had a son that never got to play in DC doesn't know. If he had been at DC that long he should know the past. 3 years ago the staff was there that is basically there now. Someone other than me from DC that would like to post chime in ! I don't have the answers....just sharing what I know. Parents are always bitter when their child sits the bench. Henry County did have some rough times about 12 years ago. We hired a head coach who brought an energy and enthusiasm that was GREATLY needed (Joe Gaddis). The players and community would run through a brick wall for him. We went from 2-8 one year to playing in a state semi-final two years later. From what I gather, the Dickson Co. football program needs some fresh blood.

You basically described our team with sophomores, Junior QB, etc. You have a 10 percent larger pool at Dickson County from which to develop talent. Don't know why that's not working out but don't suggest Henry County has some special advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts, I'm sure you remember the lady who came on our thread complaining about our lack of class for coming on the field post game for the team prayer and celebration three years ago.. I don't remember if she was a parent, staff or just a fan but she felt that we disrespected them for doing this during their singing of their alma mater, apparently a DC post game tradition.What do you recall about that situation?

FactsOnly Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I recall mainly there being a major misunderstanding about who was to clean up the stands the morning after. She thought the band parents were supposed to, but was very upset that the quarterback club had got there first. I think all that bled out of her concerns about our class, or perceived lack thereof. I really, really hope she hasn't left Coach T. Probably be worth finding and reposting that dialogue!

pats73 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 The DC tradition is to line up on the near hash and hold hands while the band plays there alma mater. Nice tradition most schools do not play there alma mater anymore at football games. I think the person you spoke of has since moved on. That maybe the only fight henry county will find hard to win the game should go our way 54-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pats73 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 On the other note the jail birds still do it clean up not the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or good food at the stands try one of those nocho tacos they are great you get a lot for the money.Or a BBQ nocho with cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC1rules Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Dickson County in 1988 was TOUGH! Who was that RB they had back then? I was a kid but remember him being awesome. That was a handful of years before my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain't got a clue buddy. I just remember they waltzed through the regular season and went 15-0 and won state in class AAA. Beat Oakland in the finals if I'm not mistaken? GREAT team.
