I wasn't at the game and don't know the outcome of the Peabody onside kick or how aggressively Peabody's players pursued the ball. But I'm going to have to disagree with Mr Bigswo's and others evaluation of said onside kick. I am pretty sure most are misinterpreting the reasoning behind the kick. Coach Bowling's teams have onside kicked the ball many times over the years while being up BIG. None more than the 2014 team. We all know what kind of team that was. The reason, I believe, is to give the opposing team favorable field position. An act of Mercy, if you will. You can disagree with me or not, but that is my interpretation of that type of onside kick situation.

Nah I really think he was trying to shorten the game by keeping the clock running under the mercy rule

I wish you knew about this coach that you call a too.  He is the most respectful Christian man of a coach I have ever been around.  He loves those kids and they love him.  He has been a great role model for those boys and our community.  When we got our buts whipped by you guys, we just took the whooping and went home.  You have been a supporter of our team and we respect u and the UC program.  Please try to understand the circumstances of those calls.  Our guys were getting chopped blocked and head whipped all night.  It was time to get out of there and go home.  Good luck to UC the rest of the way. 

Was I sitting near the Gold doctor last night lol l. I’m trying to figure that out.

I know Peabody is awesome but what has happened to Union City? Both times SP faced them they were awesome teams. 

They are still a good team. They have been having fumbling issues. They didn’t really against us. 

They are just a bit down on talent compared to years before but that is deceiving because they are in a good region. They are still better than a lot of teams in the state

We did win state in 2017 made it to quarterfinals last year so still one of best programs in west TN. Peabody is phenomenal right now. Smaller schools definitely go through cycles. Right now we are a little down but still going to compete hard every Friday night. Our FB did go for 188 yards last night against the best D we’ve played all year. I think they’ve only had 14 points scored on them all year. Their O is unstoppable.

Congratulations to you Peabody guys. I knew yall were good and last night you proved it. I dont think anybody in 2A will touch you. As to the question upstairs of what has happened to us, we just are having a year or 2 of rebuilding time. We still have good players, but we don't have the dominating overpowering ones we have had. So, the methodical clock eating time grinding drives don't happen as consistently as they have in past. They still happen just not as consistently.

We needed to score again to make it 35 point deficit. So it is relevant we wanted the ball back 

That makes since now. As I stated I wasn't at the game and based on the posts it sounded as if the onside kick was done after the running clock started.

Okay, I was a little miffed last night. Not because we were getting beat by a superior team. I made my statement and I stand by it. I just want to say congratulations to Peabody and the fans and friends I have made on the T. I can't see any team beating you. I was offensive in my comments and I apologise. Good luck to the Tidemen the rest of the way. Just keep doing what you do and you will see another championship

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
