But at the end of the day the fans, the coaches, and I believe everyone wants the best possible players playing no matter what class they are in. I trust the coaches to play the right guys. To have the #1 QB in the State of Tennessee for the class of 2023 and #23 in the nation, that's hard not to play that kind of kid. 

We all love new exciting players, especially quarterbacks. I’m excited for him as well as the rest of the team. And in our defense, we’ve talked about several other players in this thread also. I hope the kid comes here and does well. I also hope whoever the best QB is, is the one that wins the job. And I have no doubt that will be the case, as it will be with all positions. With the stable of backs we have, and Odoms emerging as a superstar, the offense should be tough to stop. Losses on the OL and on defense worry me some, but I’m confident they’ll figure it out. I still say come playoff time, this will be a completely different team than what we’ll see at the start of the season. I expect to make a deep run. But I am somewhat of an optimist.

I expect a deep run also. Now how about Dante Davis returning this year as a senior to football!! I watched him at every game during jr high and he was always wowing (if that's a word) the crowd! I expect big things from him this year also!

That will be a huge addition. There will prob be a little bit of an acclimation period for him to get back used to football, but I fully expect him to help this team. I’ll tell you, it’s a good problem to have, but I don’t know how you get all these skill guys enough touches. I could see a couple of those backs get reps in the slot and wideout spots. Because there’s seriously 5-6 backs that will be deserving of carries.

I like seeing Dante Davis at WR or LB. Would love to see Joe Travis play WR and DB. Jayln Foster and Jamarcus Johnson will get majority of the reps at RB. We need guys like Jawon Odoms, Jayln Foster, Dante Davis, Joe Travis guys like that to play both ways. That way those kind of guys can make an impact whether on offense or defense.

For sure. They’re going to have to at times. The run game is going to be so very important this season (and every season but especially this season) breaking in a new QB. Nice to have so many rushers returning. Once the OL held look out!

How about all the work being done at the high school? Was they going to put turf on the field?

That was the plan. There was some drama around it from a few, so I’m not sure that it’ll get done. At least this year.

Saw pictures of them tearing up the pavement by the Fieldhouse. What are they doing over there?

I’m not positive. I did hear they were adding onto the field house. That may be it

I would love to see them go to field turf. And also maybe renovate the press box a little. We have a nice stadium, but a few minor improvements would make the facility really shine.

Adding those bleachers on the visitor side went along way.  HC has a very nice stadium and definitely one of the top ten high school destinations in the state in my opinion.
