Region 2 5A Off Season Thread

How does this region shape up this year?  A lot of people threw off on how easy this region was last year, but I think this region may be very tough this year as most of these teams were dominated by a lot of young talent.  Central was looking like they weren't even going to make the play offs last year, but then won 4 straight (3 of the 4 being Gibbs, Sevier County, and South Doyle) and made it all the way to the semifinals, so are they the pre-season favorite?  I think South Doyle has as much talent as anyone in the area, and Sevier County had a stud Quarterback that was only a freshmen- So I think these two have a reasonable shot of winning it as well.  I don't know much about Carter, and I don't know much about Seymour other than they will have a new coach this year.  Gibbs and Halls will also have a new HC as both of their coaches resigned, so those programs are kind of question marks right now too.

glad someone started this topic. ive been itching to talk about this region. central returns everyone except 3 out of their 4 linebackers and a few o-line and d-line. all their skills players, and their QB, dakota fawver, who is a gamer who got hurt in week 2 against fulton and was out the whole year will be back. south doyle has tremendous talent, ball and young can play. i would say carter and seymour won't be very good, and halls and gibbs will take a step back while sevier county will be improved as well.

Personally I would predict 

1. Central

2. South Doyle

3. Sevier County

4. Halls

5. Gibbs

6. Carter

7.  Seymour

I know we are still months away from any game being played so a lot could change,  but that may end up being my pre-season prediction.  I originally was going to put SD at number 1, but if Fawver is back and healthy I would give the bobcats the edge. Just my opinion though

Not sure far you R2 boys will get come post-season, but I think you can put the first round in the bank against R1 5A.  We were absolutely pathetic last year in going 0-4 vs. R2 and I suspect this year will be a repeat.

Yep, nobody wants to admit it, but the reality is that city athletes are just better than county athletes. Yes, there are exceptions; and I am sure someone is going to be triggered by this revelation but it's simply the truth. Also is magnified because of how strong Knoxville football is.

Smoky Bears have a shot at another State run. Would not surprise me if they run the region table undefeated. I expect region 1 will be weak  and other than maybe SD and Central the Bears will have the best player on the field in region 2 games, so the path of least resistance still at this point is in east tn 5A. Region 3&4 have better talent but they will have to beat up each other so who knows come playoff time. My guess is healthiest team wins late season games and if super soph is healthy along w some other key kids the Smoky Bears will be as good as anybody.

 

GoBears!!

I look for Central and South Doyle to be the top 2 in that region. And right now I would favor SD with the uncertainty of the health of the Central QB. He is the key there. 

And on Carter, at this point it wouldn't shock me to see an interim named for the 2018 season and then a permanent hire made after the season.  And that would be ironic, given that that is how Witt got his head coaching gig at Karns.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • 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.
