FA11 will you be broadcasting the scrimmage at Cascade like you did it at SP last year? In case I can't make it, it would be nice to watch a little of it somehow. You could probably do Favebook Live now just as easy.

 

I watched practice the other day. Even thought they were in shorts and t shirts, and without giving away any secrets as Roy would put it, this team appears to have more "team speed" than we've had in a few years. I was impressed with how fast the lineman were getting up and down the field. I want to give a few names to watch out for this year. I haven't seen the Murphy Fair book yet so some of these names are probably on there too. Also, I'm still learning some names so if I don't mention one that someone else might it's mostly because I just don't know the name lol. Lilly, Holland, Kennemore, Pryor, Raulston, Daniels, Both Cawoods, Brown, Fehr, Branham, Stewart, Ford, Fuqua, Kelley, Abbott...just to name a few and I saw many more that will play big roles just don't know their names. 2 years ago we were headed in the wrong direction unless a change was made. We got the Captain back and have gone from what 20 players to 46. We have like 10 seniors , but have about 22 eighth graders. You might knock us down, but we will always get back up. #PirateStrong

I don't know if Morrison is playing this year or not but if so he is a big help too. A lot of people are excited about this eighth grade class and should be but this group of juniors are the real deal right now. SP has set themselves up nicely for the next 5 years.

yes, a MC grad that became play by play for the Pirates and later the BB Bucs. Now WHITWELL. Great guy and he has done a lot to support our valley teams. Chris would probably be big time, at somewhere like ESPN but for whatever reason chose to concentrate on local sports. Good guy, good family man, good friend .

Good guy? You lost every bit of credibility you ever had with that line right there.

Is anyone coming to the 7v7 round-robin tonight in Fayetteville?  So. Pitt, Wayne Co., Fayetteville, and Summit playing.  Just asking so we can give ya'll an escort to the school. Lol.

Unable to make this trip but provide details from the event Varo. Hope all is well with you and your Tigers

    • 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.  
    • Just read the article! In one statement he says he didn’t know the player was academically ineligible yet he also says he met with a teacher in 2022 to discuss putting the player in credit recovery.  I find it hard to believe a Head Coach doesn’t know a player is not eligible; are they not responsible for clearing them to the TSSAA?
