Hearing from the North fans that they had their way with the Rebels in a scrimmage recently. I have not gotten to keep up with this years version of the Rebels so I have no clue what the story is behind the scenes. I thought that North was losing several of their skill players this year so I don't know what to expect.

North was more physical and seemed to be in better shape than South.  With the starters it was 3TD's for North to 2TD's for South and South didn't run their #1 or #2 RB at all.  Poor tackling in the secondary allowed 2 of North's TD's.  South will need to grow up quick in the secondary, they have good athletes in those positions.  North's D line gave our O line trouble.  South's QB ran well when needed.  I honestly think it will take a few games before we really gel, that's why I think the Boone game will be a toss up.

Boone just got demolished by Greeneville on Friday, so it is really hard to tell where Boone stands.

Sometimes it comes down to who wants it the most.

And let's not forget conditioning....  hard to play football in this type of heat, so it may come down to depth as well.    As a fan I hate rain games but that might actually be best for the guys on the field because it's so hot...

Last thing, just hope for a clean game regardless of the outcome.    Boone is still on probation from that Crockett altercation in 2014 and cannot afford another incident.      Some of you may remember the Boone/South bench clearing brawl from a few years ago, don't want to see that again

I have always called this the backyard brawl because of the schools locations and the fact that some of these kids are even neighbors. Several years ago when my oldest son was playing for South his best friend played for Boone.

 

Hey SSHS - who are those #1 and #2 running backs for South this year?

Lovell and Strickler are the top 2 returning RB's from last year.  From what I can tell they have a lot of kids shuffling in and out though since these two are far to important at LB to let them rest on D.

Openers don't define the season, but they sure set the tone. If either of these programs have any hope of making the playoffs this year, they'll have to win this one. It will be an uphill battle to salvage anything respectable for the loser.

 

I've always believed scrimmaging up will prepare a team better for the season, provided there aren't a rash of injuries and the kids don't get too discouraged. If that's indeed the case, advantage to Boone for going against Greenies.

FWIW

 

Boone's record vs. South = 7-28

# Games = 35

Years played = 1983-2015

Points (Boone/South) = 478/871

Last year Boone won = 2013

 

All fans please remember that this game is on Thursday night

 

Nice Stats blazer, one correction though, Boone last won in 2012.  South was loaded in 2013 and 2014.

      Mairvul Footbawl 2024

      Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

      The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent.

      New Rules

      By KidGloves · Posted

      Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
