Jaden Keller really shined for THS.  He scored on both of his catches and appears to be their best player by a country mile.  They have a D1 TE but I guess they're content not throwing to him?  The offensive line has some glaring weaknesses as well as special teams, which will be hard to overcome this year.  I would put them fighting for 3rd behind Boone and Crockett this year in the region.

Yep, one of the linemen seemed to always be getting pushed in the backfield. Also, DB really struggled with Keller. I thought Keller should have gotten a few more targets.

Come on D backs !!!!!

I can remember a time at DB when the D back field was on point , produced many College players  ... Some of the best "Volunteer/ Coaches "  at the middle school level in Kingsport retired several years ago .. I certainly know of one that did everything he could to coach the D backs  and made some great ones !.

We need some great coaches in the Middle School level ( Robinson and Sevier ) before DB becomes great again .. I heard Robinson has not done to well this year ... 0-2 ?? 

 

Better enjoy what wins DB gets this year and next. The chickens are going to come home to roost in a couple of years. I think the middle schools only won "1" game between them last year and this year isn't looking any better. The coaching is really bad and they don't even try to get kids to come out and play. The school system has been infected with liberals (who think winning isn't fair) and know it all dunderheads who make it all about themselves instead of the kids. It only gets worse from here.

Former DB Cade Maupin sure single handely put it to Science Hill !! 158 yards rushing , crucial interception  , fumble recovery and a TD  !!!

sometimes I think how I can't blame him but then how can you get any better than J Fred on a Friday night .. 

 

thats The Story at DB ... two players (our Big 235 lb bruiser of a running back is not playing(quit)  and Cade transferred ) ... WOW

Elizabethton hit the lottery .DB could have used those two skill players to go with the way both sides of the  lines are playing.It's not going to help the Devils either.I was already worried about Betsy before that happened.I watched those Maupin boys since the first one was at Robinson and know they are great athletes.

We went to the Betsy - SHHS game instead, but the win over THS makes me cautiously optimistic about a 5-5 season. We did go to the freshman game (our grandson plays) last night at Cherokee, and it was worse than I expected as D-B got throttled in every phase of the game in a 34-0 loss. The "highlight" of the night for the Indians was the opening kickoff when the kicker created a buzz through the fans from both sides when he drove kickoff  deep into the end zone. From there, it was all downhill. To be fair, I'm guessing that Cherokee had several sophomores playing for them in order to field a JV/Freshman team, but that was still brutal to watch,

    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
