I remember that meaningless late TD and Heritage going for 2 and making it in 1982. I believe the play before the late TD Heritage starting running clock to end the game. Heritage should have won 3-0 but won 11-0. The very next year after every Maryville TD They went for 2 and made it.

 

On my way home from that 1983 game I remember listening to WGAP. Glen Morton asked Don Story why he went for 2 so much. Don Story's response was " Why didn't you ask Jack Renfro that last year"

I'm a big fan of DW. Murvil was struggling to kick xtra points in 83. Matback took the square-toed kicking shoe with him the year before.

Tennessee needs to get rid of the mercy rule. I don't have a problem with huge scores because it's the other team's responsibility to stop them.

Dave I read your post and got to thinking about it some this morning. There are some coaches that have some respect about them that they would turn to the last kids on the team to play and then you have a few for what reason would score a hundred on someone and I'm sure that rule was put in place just for that few. The fans lose when the evening is cut short like that but maybe the coaches should meet together at halftime and make that decision could be one answer. If both were in agreement then they could play out the game. The other answer is to have someone or a group to really dissect each team or school down to a science and put them in the proper class they need to be in. I know we go by enrollment but you take two schools that have a thousand kids and one serves a distance of a thirty mile radius and another serves a three mile radius would have a factor in the equation. Out of zone would be another heavy factor in getting teams in the right slot. If the TSSAA had a brain at all and looked at all the mercy rule games that happen they would quit counting money for a few minutes and do the right thing as I mentioned.

I don't mind the mercy rule, but I would prefer to see it only instituted beginning in the 4th quarter.  A large, large, majority of coaches get their young kids in the game when up big in the third quarter.  Friday night PT is important to them, and I see nothing wrong with 3s/4s playing against the team that is behind's 1s in the third quarter.  Start the running clock in the 4th quarter.

The schools lose on concession sales and then you have those people that have to be the first to get there and the first to leave and you know their gone by halftime.

I agree with you.

      Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.

      I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.

      Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.

      Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
