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

    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
    • Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.
    • I am pro coach all day long but there are some knucklehead hires for sure. 
    • This is a great question. The retirement seemed a little premature. I do not know the coach personally, but I hope he has found what he is looking for. He is a fine Christian man with a lot of principle and morals about him. I wish him nothing but the best. There are some players in the box for the next coach. This is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
