Congratulations to Swafford from Marion Co on being named a Mr. Football Finalist. Very well deserved.

That's a VERY impressive resume' that Marion Co. has achieved in football over the past 35 years.  When my grandson played as a sophomore for Meigs in 2004 we won a 35-34 slobberknocker against Marion in Jasper.

We had a pretty good team that year. Lost to a 9-1 Tyner team and an 8-2 Polk team and you guys. We had some mediocre years in the late 2000's. Mainly due to questionable coaching hires by administration. The kids have always been the same around here. Some coaches can get it out of them some can't.

Marion County wasn't any good in 2004. LMBO. That's the year SP and Marion both stunk. They beat us on a long pass at the end of the game. I remember listening to it on the radio. Both teams were horrible.

We were actually decent. Finished 7-3 and lost to Lipscomb in the 1st round who lost to Alcoa in the semis. Now sp on the other hand.... I didn't really want to bring that up. LOL

I think Meigs wins this one if they can stay focused and not be looking ahead to the following week. They have a good chance making it to the championship game if they can get by Rockwood, but will be challenged even more the following week by the winner of the Tyner/Marion Co. game. I'm sure Coach Fitzgerald is preaching to his players to play one game at a time, and forget the score from the first meeting with Rockwood.

I doubt we are looking ahead very far. One thing with  Meigs is, we haven't really been challenged but 3 games this season. Rockwood, Sequatchie, and Sweetwater all gave us a good game for at least two quarters. Or maybe longer with Sweetwater. This week and next we will see how much desire and heart our young men really have. We have never been behind more then 8 points in a game. That said, Meigs rolls this week.

    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
    • Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA. 
    • It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team. 
    • Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
