If I am reading this right, in 2015 DB had the toughest 6A schedule in the state.    That may not ease the pain but it could explain some of the perceived mediocrity

I told a couple of my DB fan coworkers before the season started that they would be fortunate to finish 5-5 with the new schedule. Neither believed me, but after the season one admitted I was right while the other is still in denial. It wasn't hard to see it coming. You replace what amounted to 4 extra open dates in Volunteer, Crockett, Boone and Central.....actually better than open dates in that your starters got some light work in and your reserves got a ton on valuable game experience....and replaced them with 4 teams that are capable of beating you on any given Friday. Seeing Murville generally prance through their schedule without breaking a sweat gives you a real appreciation of just how far ahead of everyone else their program is. DB will eventually adjust to their schedule, but both DB and SHHS have miles to go  to catch Murville.

i am hoping BBall Freshman Riamello Wadsworth will play football. he is 14 and is usually the strongest player on the varsity court. The good news is, his older brother moved to Kingsport over the winter break and will for sure be playing. He has good size for a DE - 6-2 275.

 

DB has tons of returning youthful players and they are working hard. We could have a change at QB - and if we do, the RB position will be improved greatly by moving #6 Maupin to RB... his natural position. A stud RB from Sevier may actually move to varisity instantly.... I liken him #32 Chris Sensabaugh with a little more height...physically the same.

 

Haters going to hate an still not show up for a game. Pay the price of admission and actually be a fan. Its great to be a part of the Tribe. The school is loaded with great young athletes and I support them all.

Very, very good find. I knew every game was a playoff calibur team, but had no idea we were first. I have said that in the old conference, the tribe would have been 7-3 or 8-2. Folks who didn't travel, or watch every game just look at records. Yes, the coaching adjustments could have been more dynamic, but considering the opponents, not a bad performance. Five or six plays on the season, and 4-7 becomes 7-4 pretty quickly. Keep working and playing hard. Better days ahead....

No amount of LSD makes the 2015 performance accepable or justified. Coaching must change radically - from the top down. Should have beaten every opponent but big M.

 

BTW, LSD is illegal.

Maupin is a stud anywhere on the field.He can play defense,catch the ball,run the ball or throw it.I can't see putting him at RB with a bigger Chris Sensabaugh type runner coming up.I can't see doing a lot of things but it is what it is.

    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
