Fair enough on the turnovers, those can sure get you beat. The Govs used to have a bad habit of piling up turnovers. The result was the Govs would sometimes have more first downs and total yards than the other team and still get beat. In 2014, they averaged between 3-5 turnovers in the redzone per game. I hope that habit stays dead and buried. So far this season the Govs have only turned it over once in each game, granted the one turnover in the Alcoa game was a real back breaker.

I understand that all to well! Both teams need something to happen early to provide needed confidence! DB's offense Did some really good things last Friday night just made some mistakes! Some will say that the defense looked like it was not improved, but other than the fast kid hashing up on a couple big plays, DB looked fairly solid, well at least improved! It will be interesting to see if you are able to throw the ball on us, as I believe that is one of your strengths and one of the areas that we needed to improve! My opinion if you are not successful throwing the football, it will be a long night for the Govs. Well unless you have a 4.4 speedster that I haven't seen! A balanced attack may be key for both teams!

but will they play at WB or take their talents elsewhere within the county?

If RB goes somewhere else, things will get ugly quick around Alnwick. This kid is a difference maker. He'll play Varsity all four years. He'll change the way other Defenses play WB and he'll be the difference in at least a couple of close games every year. If WB keeps him and a few of the other kids and if the classifications change to favor WB, then his Jr and Sr year Govs can be 7-3 or 8-2.

You think WB goes to 5A?  Will Shad stick around if they win 3 this year?

WB's sophomore QB is a really good athlete. WB has some tough middle school kids coming up. They have a RB in middle school that is probably the best prospect to come down WB's pipeline since Brad Walker. He may be a better player than Walker at this stage and I think he'll be better in HS.

Word on the street is his folks are not at all happy with the garbage service they have currently!!

I think any HC would stick around next year if he gets all the 8th graders coming up. After that, can Shad handle being 4-6 to 5-5 most yrs with a 7-3 or 8-2 season every so often?

 

I don't know. Maryville has shown a lot of success with hiring former head coaches and turning them into assistant coaches at a dominant program. Maybe another school does the same thing. I don't know. 

As far as 5A, I think what will happen is some lower level 5A teams will be bumped up into what is now the Super 32 and allow WB some easier competition ( Lenior City, Heritage , etc) so that's where you can go from 3-7 to 5-5 really quick.

I've heard lots of garbage services are lining up to try and help out. LOL.

 

As far as Middle school kids, how would you rank him compared to others that have come through Blount co/Mville / Alcoa in the last 20 yrs or so?

I don't get to watch much middle school ball, being involved with the youth leagues don't allow for it.... However he was very impressive last year as a 12 year old.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
