Which is exactly why this team deserves its due, they took on historical powerhouse programs in the entire state on 4 different fridays in the regular and post season, they beat a Coach Grider coached team twice, they also beat a team for the Gold Ball that displays the type of discipline and coaching level an skill that can only be displayed in Blount County.

 

After the TC game and the manner in which it was won, I got the feeling this team set itself apart not only because it has a buttload of great athletes, but because they approached every game like they expected to win. From top to bottom, flat out they approached every game like they were the better team, and they were going to line up and win vs whoever they play no matter what was going to happen. 

  That’s a testament to the coaching staff and their leadership in managing these young men instilling not only the maturity it takes to handle a playoff run like this, but also the  confidence in them after an absolute total butt whipping they took in round 3 last season from Big Brother. 

 Flat out Champions find a way to win football games because they expect to win them, these boys have expected to win every contest they’ve played together since they were 5, which is why they are due our deep admiration, (our RESPECT) it’s rare teams like this actually do stick together from such a young age and achieve this.

 

(Note: the only Time I’ve ever seen this group of seniors lose a championship as a fully matured group was as 8th Graders and Wingo was playing against them, and even then, that game came down to Wingo chasing Petty down from behind in what was one of the best middle school games I’ve ever seen, it’s kinda just what they do, win.

 

Was the 8th grade not the only other time they was the fully matured group? Don't have elementary football, although that's a good idea

Very true statement. I don’t know any of your kids or their history and to be honest, I just jumped on this thread to give CB10 crap, but if you look at Whitwell’s body of work, they are the best team in the state. (1A)

I agree, if kids want to play for a better program that’s fine with me. If they put the work in and do it the right way more power to them. I just hope we can compete with you guys. 

I have no doubt you’ll compete with the sailors, y’all might be right in the middle of nowhere between Loudon and Blount County, but your program resembles the type of excellence Alcoa and Maryville display every year, with the coaching and community support to make it happen.

In 1A your going to have more blowouts than any other class because of all the small weak schools but it should get more competitive across the board the higher the classification. I hope they leave it alone other than maybe realign the regions. I wish WC was back in the region with Cville, Cwood, PC, Richland, MTP and Loretto 

I agree, not much you can do with 1A other than add some of the smaller 2A teams. At least that might make things more interesting.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
