Did #78 Graduate from lastvyrs team? 

 

I saw your team play.   If you don’t have so many dropped passes in The AC Game it’s a much closer game 

#78 was a junior on last years roster. Hopefully Coach Shad will read this and get some soft hands toughened up before the season starts.

That's true. The Govs have had the potential to score on just about any team the past couple of years. The problem has been defense. The Govs havent been able to slow down anyone. WB was by far the worst defense in 6A in 2017. And judging by what I saw in a spring scrimmage against South Doyle, that hasnt changed. The Govs gave up 42 points in a game-like scrimmage at South Doyle. That is bad enought... The thing that makes it scarier is how the clock pretty much ran the whole time. How bad would it have been if they consistently stopped the clock for first downs, scores, and dropped passes? South Doyle could have scored 80 on the Govs and they would have done it without their two D1 studs who were on the sideline in street clothes. That is how bad the Govs defense is!

I sure that has NOTHING to do with the same 11-12 kids being on the field for 48 minutes.....

The word of the day at william blount is july. After reading theguvna's spring game report on the T sdotcup called schad and asked schad why did july about the defense being better this year?

It seems the Govs struggled against Bearden again. I dont think they scored, at least I havent been able to find any information about them scoring.

I saw where Shad said "we are a run first team." If that's the case the line will really need to step up more than they have in recent years. I cant remember the last time the Govs were able to run the ball consistently.

Guvna,

I've gotta tell you, I respect your loyalty to that program. Lord knows they haven't given you much to cheer about since 07-08. In my opinion, I believe WB goes 3-7 this year w/ wins vs. LC, Heritage, and Stone Memorial. Lenoir City will be close, but I think WB can do enough to win. I'm hearing Heritage lost some baseball players who were key contributors last year, and I believe that will give you the edge in that one. Stone Memorial is hot garbage. Therefore, you will see some improvement, but not enough to get what you deserve for your loyalty.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
