I know the kids in Farragut are walking a little taller this morning. I honestly thought Indy would win when they were up 35-7 headed to halftime. I remembered Farragut trailing Ooltewah a few weeks ago and knew they were battle tested. They earned that title last night. Enjoy your reign. Congratulations.

Farragut is still a football community (and baseball, and soccer, and basketball, and track). Their facilities and fan support are top notch.

 

It's my perception that you're likely to keep eating those mothballs in OR because while some in town still think OR is a football community, it's not. Facilities are run down, and the community doesn't seem interested in fixing that. Even though you have great basketball and track, I don't see the overall support and numbers there. I'm told that kids at ORHS don't really care that much about sports any more.

 

Seems like Farragut has weathered the change from an overcrowded 2000+ student school to a more average sized large school since HVA was built.

It could always be worse. We could not give a hoot about academics and education, too, but we do. As much as I love sports and wished we could always win state titles in all of them it takes a long distant second to kids' education. In the long run that's what truly matters. But, it's nice to be top of the line in both!

Have to give major props to Hines

Here is a kid that threw 6 picks and as reported by Kraeger and other in the media he didn't dodge reporters in interview room - answered all questions and took the blame -

Yes the kid lost confidence and threw 6 int's but have to respect him for being a man

*******Overall if you would have told me Indy would have been playing for the Gold Ball before the season I would have laughed at you as they had so many that graduated

With the 2 UT commits returning along with 1,000 rusher Henderson , a 6'2 QB with a cannon of an arm taking over Indy will reload

^^^^^^^^“This is a special group," Blade said. "We’re undersized, we’re young in a lot of our positions. It started with replacing nine guys and they’ve come so far in fourteen games it’s an incredible accomplishment. We really kind of exceeded our expectations.
