Not even close. I am from middle Tennessee and enjoy good high school sports talk in a professional way. This constant and consistent childishness should stop. It just makes those people, their communities and their programs look bad. Treating it as a joke or a redneck game or whatever is silly and embarrassing. It gets old for everyone that continually sees it. 

so...start your own thread, Junior

Kingsport Times News is kinda sorta giving DB a chance.    I think the last sentence says it all.

 

DOBYNS-BENNETT’S PATH

The Indians started the season with a thunderous win over Tennessee High. It was an important step, posting notice that 2019 would not resemble 2018 in any way.

More wins followed as the Indians navigated their first eight games without a four-quarter challenge.

Adversity hit in the form of Science Hill in game No. 9. The Indians didn’t perform up to their established level, suffered the upset loss, and put themselves in position to lose grip of the top spot from Region 1.

Fortunately for the Indians, the potentially critical defeat was undone when the Hilltoppers couldn’t close out the league title. They lost in Week 11 to Bearden, which looked like a pretty good football team. The same Bulldogs showed up Friday night at J. Fred Johnson Stadium and tested the Tribe, carrying a 14-7 lead into halftime. But the Indians had their own case to present, owning the second half and keeping their season alive.

It was D-B’s first come-from-behind win since a 7-0 second-quarter deficit against Tennessee High, and it says a lot about the players and coaches. Trailing 14-7 at halftime in the playoffs — with no significant or recent history to say, “Hey, we’ve been here before, let’s do it again” — could be a scary place. But coach Joey Christian and his team didn’t panic, made halftime adjustments and won the football game.

Such steely nerves could come in handy if Maryville jumps ahead Friday.

But Alcoa (3A) beat DB by 2 touchdowns!

Yep ... No excuses here , and I don't think DB can beat Maryville , come next year I see a closer game ... DB has a lot of returners next year ! 

Now for the SH and Alcoa game - both were late minute drives - both within 35yards of scoring but again both resulting in killer stupid mistakes (Alcoa personal Foul + fumble on last drive to tie , SH was 2 late personals on last drive ) - mental mistakes that can't be had in the Maryville game ...... 

i just hope DB can keep it with 3 TDs ... Jet H for DB is a beast and I look to see him put on a show vs Maryville !

For all the hype that some put into this DB defense, they gave up 23 points to what in thought was a pretty anemic Science Hill and 21 to the worst Alcoee offense since 2011. 
Murvil is going to get their 28+ points, but I see no way that DB can hold serve on offense. 
This Murvil defense, at every position, is Alcoee’s equal. 
Enough football tawlk tho. 
Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

It’s gonna be a BIG game in the rain up in Kingsport Friday. I expect “all the good ET fans“ (bow your head) to be there to watch the two winningest programs in the state collide. Looking at the other parts of the bracket, this game may be for all the marbles. It should be a slobber knocker.

    • Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.
    • 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.
