Did he not play the first part of the season?

Yes, but he was at a different position.  Since his move to quarterback something has just clicked.  It's all about getting your players in the right positions.  Goldsmith and several others changed positions after we started the season 0-4 and it has worked.  We play so many freshman and sophomores.  It takes time for them to adjust and buy into the system.  Everyone on this team is now on the same page and they are ALL IN.

Sounds like the 2nd time around against some of these teams is working. Good luck to you guys the rest of the way.

Thanks! MCKenzie is a very good football team that is extremely balanced offensively. They will present many challenges as Reitz said. Their QB is All state for a reason. He's fast and very intelligent and has a rocket arm. Our season has literally been like a movie. Starting 0-4(we did play some tough teams early) and winning 7 of next 8. The only loss coming to McKenzie. We were up 17-7 against McKenzie and driving when Goldsmith went down in first Q and lost 44-24. Who knows what the outcome would have been but it doesn't really matter, McKenzie is tough and won't be an easy game with Goldsmith at full speed. If you haven't seen his highlights you are missing an amazing show. He had a 50+ yard TD run against Aville and made a spin move that was insane to break a tackle. He can sling it as well and no he isn't my son!! Lol. IF and I mean a big IF we beat McKenzie we then face the Monster in Memphis! I know Hampton and Marion are outstanding teams but I can't imagine them being any better than the Monster in Memphis. Good luck to you guys!

We have a decent team. Pretty young and just excited to still be alive in the playoffs. We lose a couple skill players this season but return around 17 or 18 starters for next year. What we're doing now will help us next season .

Whichever one of us comes out of this one, has a HUGE challenge in front of them next week.  They have scored 106 pts in two games and given up zero.  Granted, they are coming from 4A down to 2A and I think returned most of their team which lost the 4A title game 29 to 20 last year to Knoxville Fulton.

Back to work tomorrow. We have got a big task ahead of us but I know we will come out ready to play some Friday night football! The past few weeks the boys have been fired up, so I know this is going to be a battle no doubt about it. Both teams want this one really bad! Hoping for an injury free game and a fight till the end! May the better team win and go on to represent the west. See yall Friday night!

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
