I think you just don't like CB10

That is true, but from the outside looking in. You have to give credit where credit is due.. Whitwell beat three Really good teams to win the State Championship.. 

 

Let me ask you a question, GA dominated Al today in most aspect of the game, but Alabama found a way to win. Does that mean Georgia is the better team???  

 

IMO ( though I dislike AL) they were the better team and did what better teams do. Find A WAY TO WIN!

Most of you that have been posting on this thread can relax. If the TSSAA doesn't re-align the public school divisions (drop it to 5 instead of 6) it will be the same 3 or 4 teams from the east and west every year in Cookeville. This is particularly true in 1A and 2A. Saw some really weak teams make it to the second round this year which speaks volumes. I'm sure most fans would rather see more competitive games than to set through blow-out after blow-out. There's been a lot of that also, this year, and again it tells you this alignment is way out of kilter.

Don’t say so. All the privates are gone now so it should be wide open now?????   Let me guess open enrollment class next. Hahahahaha.

The Tigers did that 4th Qtr thing 4 times this year in big games, the last 3 in a row.

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.

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

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
