Stratford at East

East all day on this one. I want to say 3tds, but out of respect for the tradition of Stratford I will say 2tds.  East won’t be caught asleep at the wheel again with revenge on their mind.  This isn’t the old Stratford.  Talent no way near the tradition except for the RB.  Stratford freshman got throttled yesterday at Father Ryan 40-6.  The lone score was in the 4th.

Ok serious question. This Stratford team brought back so many starters from last year and was predicted to be the 3A team to beat out of middle TN. What has happened?  

They were overlooked last year after a horrible start.  Coaching change brought new life to team.  Add the two and it is a recipe for a great end to the season....not this year.  I don’t see how anyone put them above PC or East as the team to beat.

I knew about last year. A lot of publications had them picked to do very well again this year. Especially since they brought back so many starters off a team that beat PC in the playoffs and went to the semis losing to Covington in OT.

I just want to know who said that startford returned a lot. They graduated 15+ seniors that all played last year. Freight, Reed, Farmer, Owen's just to name a few. And atleast 2 or 3 more lineman gone. The other middle LB too. Reeds at Tsu, Owen's is at EKU, not sure about others.

I told everybody before the season started, that Stratford lost alot off last years team. Last year Stratford got hot at the right time and went on a great run. They should've finished it off because they will never get that far again. But I do like them against lil East tho. I think #2 should be able to run down Lil East throat defensive line for lil East is suspect!!!

Agree with everything you said except for the outcome of the game.  I wasn’t at the PC/East game but the score says the D is still stout to me.  And you have several playmakers at PC....this ain’t the case for Stratford.  The RB is a heckuva workhorse, but East LBs hit him all night.  That O-line for Stratford is suspect too from what I heard from a coach who went against them.

Can't go by the score when we threw the ball 3 times against them and they had the whole team in the box lol. Far as East LBs hitting james I wont to see that lol. Dont to many want to do that and pray that it's not cold lol. I think East will win buts it's a district rival/EastSideRival/Kids been going to school with each other for years so with involved it could go anyway.

    • 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.
