That’s cool to know I was wondering if we could compare to the #1 in 1A lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwen had Houston beat like a drum and went away from what they do. It opened the door for this Houston team. I watched the game. I don't believe that Houston is any more talented than McEwen. Houston is hanging their hat on us losing to McEwen. They won't own the center nor will the own the outside. We have plenty of speed where its needed. They are talented enough to break one off hear and there but they won't own it. This Houston team is no where near as fast as Fairview. Even a down Fairview team is fast and solid. I am not saying we will win because we beat Fairview, I am saying that we won't see an increase in talent. Our boys are not overlooking Houston County like they did McEwen. They know what's on the line and they will be ready. I expect a very good game with no quit on either side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoardHater71 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Don't compare scores. Waverly beat Fairview. Fairview beat Camden. Camden beat Waverly. It just seems to be a year where that doesn't always add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I think I have a dog in this fight and this needs to be said. I have coached along side of McConnell. He is a great football mind and had an amazing 5 years at Waverly. I appreciate what he did for our program. But, just like anybody he has his flaws and down falls AND it helped that he was able to pull some athletes from basketball and guys walking the hall, especially his first year in 2014. From 2015 - 2018 he had a LOADED class with the big 3, Stanfield, Dixon, Bradley and many others. Bottom line is that was probably the most talented class of football guys since 2002 season and possibly best class ever in Waverly history. Now Boldin... you haters talking him down, saying Waverly is headed back to the Waverly of Old and being mediocre. I strongly disagree. I have known Boldin since JR High. Played along side him in JR High and High School. Dude was a stud athlete then in all 3 sports. Had a greater knowledge and understanding of the game more than anybody. He was a stud athlete in High School. Just a natural talent and even though he was a grade below me, he was a leader and someone I respected and looked up to. He made everyone around him better. Boldin joined the Army, fought for our country, and after all that went back to school and pursued his dream of leading young men and becoming a head football coach. I knew he would be a success. He has a strong work ethic, a great football mind, and knows what it takes to win football games. Lets be honest, he took a mediocre to bad football program in little ole Whitwell TN to 15-0 and a State Championship. Whitwell had some players, but nobody even close with the talent Waverly had in 2015-18. So you can knock Waverly all you want, I know both Coaches inside and out and will proudly say I stand behind Boldin 100%. I watched Whitwell beat the crap out of South Pittsburg. I wasn’t impressed with the talent of the Whitwell players, I was impressed with the heart, strive, and will to not give up by the players which directly was a reflection of their coach. If anyone knows what it is like to go through adversity and fight through and be successful, it’s Boldin. He is a success story. He has done it his entire life, and always ended up on top. Boldin is where he is supposed to be and we are proud to have him and he WILL be successful here! He will take Waverly to their first ever State Championship. Something no one has ever been able to do. Just wait and watch!!! Go Tigers! Edited October 14, 2019 by Trollin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Houston seems confident. Despite a coaching change at Waverly you are still dealing with the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores who have known what it takes to win and how to do it. That's hard to instill in a player but I'm pretty sure they have it. In a nailbiter type game I'd pick Waverly easy. Good luck to both teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
