Bryce Wallace Transfers from Marshall to Giles


Recommended Posts

Hey, got a serious question for you Giles folks..

Is the county some kind of state wide open zone where you can live wherever and attend school at Giles? I ask because I've got a nephew who's a freshman tight end down here at Squatch co. The boy is already 6'4 and 225 lbs of solid muscle.

The boy's had a part time job at the mill since he was 12, just working a couple nights a week and weekends. that right there shows you he's got a great work ethic, especially since he's too young to join the union. Anyhow, along with picking up all that good stuff, like a work ethic, 401k etc, he's let some of the bad elements rub off on him as well, and he's smoking about a pack of Winstons a day. Hard to fault the boy really, between his job and football and making it to school most days, thats a lot to put on a young man.

The issue we're having is coach has a firm rule about players not burning heaters on the sidelines during games, but in my opinion its pretty unfair to ask a kid to go 2.5, maybe even 3 hours if the game goes into overtime without even one or two smoke breaks like he's accustomed to at work. If coach doesn't bend on this rule, his momma is gonna be looking to get him enrolled somewhere else, and if Giles has this statewide open zone free transfer thing like I've been told, it would be the perfect spot for him.

His momma is a truck driver for Sysco, and her route goes right near Giles co every Sunday evening, so it's kinda perfect. She was figuring on just letting him off and having him stay with teammates or whoever during the week, then swinging down to get him Friday night. I'm guessing y'all have some kind of program where the booster club or whoever pay for an apartment for him, but we're not looking for a handout. He'll have to earn that apartment with his play on the field. He's been brought up right.

I've heard Coach O'Connor is a reasonable man, and  looks out for the players best interest, (unlike what he's been dealing with here in Squatch co) so if we can get the green light on him being able to just be able to have 3-4 cigs a game, I think this might be a great option for him. Any advice is appreciated. Also if anyone has a line on a job, he'd like to keep working at least a couple nights a week. He's already been told if this works out, he's not missing class to work day shift. Not until he produces on the field at least. thanks again in advance for your help.

O'Conner has a FIRM 1 smoke per half policy....

For me personally I need to know, does the kid have a sister that plays softball and is a shutdown pitcher?  If so the possibilities are endless.  As for smoking on the sidelines, that's a State law, out of our hands.  Plus our PA guy would lose his mind if that went on. "Jack Deere Field aka The Brickyard is a no smoking facility".  Jobs are there if one is needed. We have family owned trucking companies and grocery stores that love to help out in a time of need.  Plus a family owned pallet making business that may better suit the kids need for saw dust..Need to know asap, cause kids are moving in daily, 3 in past week. Good Luck.  GO CATS!!!

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

He don't have a sister, although if he did, I'm sure she'd bring heat from the mound. His great grandmother was attacked by a mountain lion once when she was walking home from church, and she fought with that sucker for hours before she was able to kill it with nothing more than her bare hands and her Bible. Point is, if he did have a sister, she'd probably be a great pitcher.

Also, forgot to mention; he would be willing to smoke inside one of those sideline medical tents if he had to.

    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war. Hope all stays healthy. 
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
