Not starting a debate just going to ask you specifically you think any of your DL should take the spot away from GB DL #52 Bailey (who signed to play for VTech and is an early enrollee there)? I’m not saying that any player should automatically get a nod based on their college signing status but there’s a reason he’s getting that opportunity. Just asking?

I don’t think someone should get the nod just for a college offer. Just by the eye test, he was offered because of his size. He probably went to a few camps and did good enough in the drills to merit a offer, but watching the state game he was outplayed. I mean LC literally told them where they were running on the last 17 plays and they couldn’t do anything to stop it. Also imo the Jeffries kid was greenbacks best D linemen. I know he made at as a offensive linemen, which I think he is deserving of being all state even as a freshmen.

I would also say Huntington had some snubbed. Best 1A team LC played this year and had a good line. I don’t have any in particular to name, I’m sure the Huntington posters can help me out?

I agree with you.53 was better and in the games I got to watch was always the better lineman.Offers don't mean nothing as far as I'm concerned.53 will be playing big time D-1 ball why 52 is wondering what happened.

Huntingdon didnt hold you to 8 points at the half!Give those kids SOME credit you deserved the penalties you aquired,GB was outmatched but still was leading in the 4th.That was a good game.

Congratulations to all the players on the list and especially to Mt Pleasant's Tari Frierson (sr) and Ethan Beasley (jr) Both are great defensive players.

Beasley is a two time All State with one more season to go!

Go Tigers!

We held ourselves to 8 points. And some of those penalties should not have been called, in the end it doesn’t matter we still controlled the entire game. Greenback would not beat Huntington though. Wouldn’t be able to stop their offense and Huntington has a great secondary. Not saying greenback is a bad team, just not better than LC or Huntington

I wouldn’t say all that lol a good coach could probably mold him into a good linemen. He’s got the size he needs to get some meanness to him if you know what I mean. 52 that is, 53 has all the qualities of a future D-1 starter for sure

I got cha. I'm sure it's quiet up there, which I know some people like it. But being way up there is the biggest con of living in Tiptonville I guess.

When is your son signing with Tennessee?

Yet to be decided who he is signing with. 2-3 visits left in January and then it will be decision time.

Jeffries has a motor for sure & to do what he does at his age is not found often. He’s got a natural nastiness about him but off field he’s a mild laid back young man. He can flip the switch!

LRDAO... He is a real good player but should have been tossed when Grider played that Ryan man for throwing hay makers.  You think im joking but im not.
