Good to see Carter County let these boys get back to work. I have heard from folks in the know that the TSSAA has basically said there will be football because they would go under financially without it. Hopefully it starts on schedule. Looking forward to this season !

How your boys looking this year?

Yeti I have yet to catch a practice but I hope to soon. I'm curious what our numbers are as far as turnout. I'm cautiously optimistic about this year coming up because we bring alot back upfront and return the QB and RB. What are the early predictions for top 3 teams in R2?

Rockwood returns 16 kids but lose the best QB they have had in a long while a 4 year starter. Oneida lost most of their team the way I understand it. They return 6 players.

With the way these practices are set up by the TSSAA, it'd be impossible to see what a team really has.....This is more like duck-duck-goose! The teams that come out on all cylinders and have their act together will be the teams that disregarded the new practice rules

Would be hard to get away with it nowadays. Too many readily available cameras with phones etc.

I could tell pretty much how good Meigs was gonna be after first scrimmage last year. This is what I said after our scrimmage against Loudon last year.

I'm not sure what the final score was, but if someone called it 7-4 Loudon I wouldn't dispute it. Meigs had flashes of greatness running the ball and our run defense looked really good. Our passing offense looked suspect somewhat. We had 2 interceptions, one of which was a pick 6. We just aren't hitting on all cylinders yet which is evident from preseason and some inexperience on the field. 

Final analysis for Meigs after scrimmage 01 this team could easily be better than last years team with some reps. We field some great talent just missed  a few assignments from what I saw is what hindered us from doing well on all fronts be it blocking, running routes or coverage. all of which that can be adjusted.

We seem to field better athletes than last year.  Our defense was getting to the ball quick on a run play which was nice to see I could see our run defense this year being easily better than last years defense. I dont see alot of teams running up alot of yards against us. Our pass defense was a little suspect. Loudon managed most of their positive plays on passing plays against us on the starters. Something that will have to be adjusted before we can be a top team again. We have the athletes to do it easily, we just didnt get it done this scrimmage. Offensively our run game looked really good for the most part we were getting decent gains every play unless someone missed an assignment and was hit in the backfield. Our qb wasnt allowed to run the ball so saying we were handled is really questionable considering we had a handicap. Not taking anything away from Loudon they were a much better Loudon team then the one we scrimmaged last year. I could easily see them battling Red Bank for first spot this year barring injuries.

Thank you, good day!

I can normally gauge a team pretty good after a scrimmage. Loudon played and beat Redbank twice last year and won region. Loudon was eventually put out by soon to be Champion Alcoa. Meigs ended up with 3000 yards shared rushing.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Looks like we are in groups of 9 plus 1 coach in the group and it will be like that til after the dead period atleast. I hear some of these restrictions will ease off after the dead period.

Rockwood might be the #2 team in the region if Oneida lost all that 

I'm not sure how it will work out. It's not a given that Meigs will win region this year albeit I think we have a really good shot. Oneida nearly always and Rockwood most of the time field some good teams. I would probably give us a nod though since we have both of them at home. But it's definitely not a given considering we graduated some great talent. We will see what we reload with.

    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
    • Word is Jason Maxwell will be new AD - he is currently head baseball coach. Also heard Roc might be headed to Pope as an assistant coach.
