This could be one of the most interesting games next week to see if the Govs can beat the Panthers to avoid being the only team in the schools 39 year history to lose every game.  Just remember the 94,95,96 and 2008 teams came close but avoided this catastrophe with one win in those seasons.  What's everyone thinking on this game. Will the Govs sink to an all time new low or will they pull this one out  and save the town of Alnwick.

Don't know anything about Stone, but Sonny Moore's power ratings (which are surprisingly accurate at this point in the season) have the Govs as a 1 point favorite. Hopefully the offense found a spark last night and that carries over into Friday. It would honestly be heartbreaking to me to see us go 0-10.

WB will win. The offense has gotten better. They scored 27 last night and really should have scored at least 2 more tds. As bad as the season has been there is reason for optimism with all the young kids playing on friday nights and the success the jv team has had.

Having said all of that, I think the future of WB football will come down to whether they will bite the bullet and bring in new defensive coaches. Some of those guys have been there since the later years of Gregory and Ridge and they are just not getting it done. The defense has sucked the past 6 years or so. You arent going to win many games when you are giving up 40+ every week. We only gave up less than 40 once so far this year. Not good....

Changes will happen. You're gonna have reason to be fired up again next year. 7-4 with a trip to the playoffs next yr.

    • I've caught a few games this year. We have a decent team.   I'm hoping this group can qualify for state.  
    • Pirates baseball team is region 3 champs.  Host sectional Wednesday.   Go Pirates!!
    • 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.
