when you mean turn what do you mean?

 

Boone went down there to SC expecting an easy win and guess what, they were giving away free food!!!    i.e., we got our lunch handed to us.

Of course we were without our QB and they knew we couldn't throw so that probably changed their defensive dynamic a bit.

But in the end they are just a better team than Boone.

So all that to say this:

 

SC   27

TH   14

Questioning every move they make.  If they pass, parents say they should run.  If they run, parents say they should pass.  If they punt, they should went for it.  If they play one QB, they shoulda played the other.  Parents yelling from the bleachers.  Parents playing Monday morning QB on Facebook.

I can say this, the coaches may not be perfect but they really can't do too much more with this team. Coach Mays God bless him is pretty much out of things he can do to get this team to play well. And that's a shame because he's a great ball coach and there's no one I'd rather have as our top guy.

 

The team can play well for a half and then completely implode in one drive. One drive it'll be the quarterback, then it'll be the line. On defense we're a open gate when it comes to running the ball. Just go outside and we're done because we can't seal and the defensive backs can't tackle tailbacks. We can have 9 guys in the box and still give up seven-eight yards. I hate to break it to the people in the crowd, but this team is just not talented. Some guys play their hearts out and I feel awful for em because they really really love this game and team and it's a shame these guys last season here will be one of the worst we've ever had.

If Bears can run the Ball they could win. But if its up to them to do a lot of throwing and catching it's anybody's ballgame. Least productive Bears offense in a very long time. QB play has just not been consistent enough and too many drops when the QBs find their man. D is good enough to win so if the Bears win the special teams battles they could pull this out. Winner makes playoffs and I like the Bears at home on Senior night. This team has not quit and honestly they are 10 points away from being exactly where the coaches probably thought they would be.

 

GoBears!

First off many love the coaches dearly. There is zero consistency at any point with this team. As previously stated there is talent on this team, it's not utilized the best at times. It's a problem when the kids are saying that certain people are built up while others are torn down consistently. See college football teams have the liberty to recruit kids to fit the system used by the coaching staff, whereas high school is not afforded that luxury. Adapt to what you have and don't beat your head against a brick wall. Just look up the definition of insanity. That should explain quite a bit. Feel horrible for this senior class and the rest of the team. Hopefully they haven't given up all will and come out strong these last few games!

I know the coaches at THS well.  They are all great football coaches and most of them could be running their own programs and doing well there if they wanted to--many of them have had numerous opportunities to go elsewhere as head coaches or coordinators but turned those down to stay in Bristol, while a couple actually gave up HC jobs to come to THS.

 

Mike Mays, in particular, is one of the best HS football coaches you'll find anywhere.  He's a great teacher of the game, an excellent role model who cares deeply for these  young men, and he knows the Xs and Os as well as anyone in HS football.  If the community realized how good these coaches actually are and saw what they actually do for these young men, they'd change their tune.

 

Graduation hit them very hard last year and they had a pair of weak classes come through, so now they're relying on a bunch of sophomores at key spots.  The results this season are really what you'd expect.  Give them a year or two and this team will be back in the thick of things again.

 

The community in Bristol is crazy.  All they want to do is second guess every move that coaches make and throw them under the bus.  All that actually does is undermine the coaches and teach the players to feel entitled and lazy.  It breeds a very bad culture.  THS is lucky to have the calibre of coaches they do--believe me, compared to most other NETN and SWVA schools, it's not even close--but they don't support or appreciate them.

      Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.

      Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.

      I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!

      My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.

      Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
