West's defense is very stout! But their offense is struggling to move the ball consistently. I think Clinton can compete with them....Beat them is another story.

If the AC kid plans on going to Clinton then I have no problem with it, sounds like he's a player. IF and WHEN Linderman comes to Clinton you will know who he is. He's currently 6'3 220, exceptionally athletic, pretty muscular for his size, not to mention he's an 8th grader with facial hair! I don't think I've ever seen a kid that developed for his age.

 

Off topic, I coached against him during the season and had him on our TNAAU Region 1 All Star wrestling team. Based on what I know about him I won't be surprised if he's one of the top DT's or TE's (his preferred positions) in the state by the time he's a Senior.

 

The next obvious and most important question....tell us about that kids garbage service.

6'1'' 209 as a 7th grader?!

He's legit SS, not surprising to read that article and see that evaluation. Alcoa's 189 pounder (Grey Carroll) & my 189 pounder (Cameron Tuminksi) were the only two kids in the entire state to last longer than the 1st period with Linderman on the mat. The crazy thing is both of those kids are physical specimens themselves (Grey is 6'3 & Cameron is 6'5) and finished 1-2 in the state at 189, but Trevor outweighed them by 30 pounds so it was more like exhibition matches. All 3 felt they were the biggest studs on the middle school level and weren't scared to test themselves, but Trevor stood out more than anyone else.

 

That said, when I coached Linderman on our Region 1 All Star team I knew it was an automatic W for us. Having a 3-4 220 pounders on my team this year, I'd bet we had to face Linderman at least 10 times this year. I'll say this too, I may be close to 40 but I would hate to physically confront that kid 8th grade or not. He's a good kid though, but don't be surprised if he's a 4 or 5 star football player when he's a Senior. Wish he would have come to Maryville.... lol

The truth is a student at Anderson County who has never even played football at AC,  went to Clinton,and somehow got pads and participated in their spring practice and played in the scrimmage at Maryville.  Now, you can say he had permission from this person or that person, but understand that only one person or group can allow grant that permission and they are in the middle of the state, not the Clinton Admin or the Anderson Co Central Office Staff. Every coach in the state knows you have to be enrolled and in regular attendance in your school  to participate in a sport.  His picture ended up on the front page of the local paper.  So please don't give us your reasons why this happened.  It happened, and Clinton will have to take the punishment of the TSSAA for allowing it.

He sure sounds like it. Kinda reminds me of myself as an 8th grader.  :flower:

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
