I didn't know there was a rivalry. I'm assuming this will be the first time these schools have played.

They have played twice in football. I think it was chosen because Rhea County HC Mark Pemberton coached Catholic to a state title in 2008, and the two teams are presumed to be the top two contenders in Region 4.

Has anyone seen practice this week? I hear they are really picking things up quick and that the boys playing one side of the ball is working real good. We've got a big bunch of seniors and I'm expecting big things out of them. What are the eyes in the bleachers seeing? I can't wait to watch this group next week over at Franklin County.

I went to two of the three practices this week, and I am impressed with how smoothly things were going considering they were only the first and second full-pad practices. Both the offensive and defensive units have looked strong, and I can't wait to see them hit the field next Saturday.

 

Having no two-way starters at the current moment seems to be working quite well. There are some names that the fans will recognize right off the bat, but there are some other players who have been under the radar a bit that are seeing significant playing time in critical positions on the team. All in all, just basing my opinion on what I saw at practice, I believe the Eagles will put on a show when they take the field at Franklin County.

    • I am interested in seeing how much they progress in year two under Fitz myself. I do believe they will improve but how much will be the question.
    • Pirates can make a run at the dance for sure.
    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
