We started a big ole 8th grader at guard and he was one of our better linemen by seasons end.Took ole Thunder For a lightning ride in the semis more than once.Got another in 7th grade who will be on varsity next year and they say he is very mature for his age also.Takes a pretty good kid to play line at the level we play at right now.

It does sound by the topic that mommy or daddy have a kid coming up,pretty randim topic!

What’s a Condra kid doing in jasper I thought they come from whitwell! So when can you start telling when a kid going to be good then 

Well us professional recruiters first use what is called the eye test.Does he look the part?Most at that age that can contribute have mature statures about them.Speed,durability can he take a hit.Skill positions can usually contribute earlier that linemen unless like ST said they are a freak of nature.Does he stand out either in a good way or a bad way?Smart coaches can tell quickly.Most coaches still bring them along at a slower pace just to get used to playing with 17 and 18 year olds alot of difference in most 14 year olds compared to 17 and 18.

You can tell right away if a kid can play and eventually do well if they stay with it and put in the necessary work.  But to say which 8th grader is gonna help out the varsity team those type players are rare.  Those you mentioned will be some to watch.  The Condra boy from Jasper stood out to me.

Welcome to the T.

How often does a group of kids that had success in sequatchie youth league winning and playing for harvest bowls carry over to success in high school. I know the 16 seq co and this yr whitwell team are perfect examples

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • 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.
