Great defensive line play by Knox Central, that is what won it IMO, HC does have the ability to throw the ball, they just didnt do it enough to get into any kind of rhythm. I get being run 1st but when they are stopping the run the way they were you have to throw the ball to open it up so you can run...

Having said that, great game and was fun to watch!

Congratulations Central for winning the 5A title. Also Congrats to Henry County for playing a hard fought game that went down to the last minute. It was also great to see Central this early fall play Maryville in a scrimmage which I could tell then they had a good team the way they played that evening. I also remember a few years ago when Bryson Rosser was in his first season at Central and they were playing 7 on 7 at a big event at Maryville College just before fall practice. I had just left the Maryville contest and was cutting through the back of the college to go to my car. I had to walk by the Central team while Bryson was having a team meeting and I stopped just a minute because I was very impressed how well he connected with those kids. I knew that day Central had finally found the right coach and he would do well there. I sure hope he stays put for a while and the Central fans make sure he is taken well care of. He has restored the fire in a school that has had a rich past in Knoxville Football History.

I thought we were way too one-dimensional in these playoffs. However, I heard that our QB had been playing with a shoulder injury for several weeks. I actually hinted at it in a thread a couple weeks back fishing for confirmation, but I never got any. If that is true, then I understand the mindset. 

Passing the ball is such a rhythmic component of offense. Was really hoping we’d continue nursing the balance we had early in the year. 

But oh well, everything’s just ifs and buts at this point. Still a great year.

Shut up dude! Its not even about the game at this point. You have 2/3rds of HC ticked off right now for how this was handled! We had to raise several thousand dollars to send one particular bus and they had to come back last night with no returning. The fan bus people had to pay and all they got was a ride to Cookeville and back with no game. Now cant even watch on tv! Absolutely ridiculous!!! 

Well..... Weather is unpredictable and the TSSAA can’t control everything. One thing you can count on though; 

whiningTIT’s lose games! :mrgreen:

Let Alcoa play Greeneville! Alcoa would get that #### whooped!

That would be great!  Too many Championships (9) in this state!  Combine 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 with 2 DII games and let it fly ! Heck we’ve been beat bad but one thing we don’t do is run around whining & crying about every little thing!  Gotta get ya ahh a mancard there bud!

    • 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. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
