All 3 have athletes and less will be transferring to DB because of this school ! Athletes on a 0-10 and 4-6 team doubt that.

BatmanDB Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Over the years, I've seen some darn good athletes at all of the schools that will make up this new school. I think with good coaches and a strong strength program,this could be the making of something special in future years .Maybe like Jeff county was back in the day ?

It's not to related to this , but has anyone seen the QB from Robinson play ? He is a Beast , looks to be already close to 6ft and people are already raving about him and this Robinson team Teagan Begley. just a 7th grader. The best middle school QB I've seen in Kingsport. Had 4 TD passes against Sevier in the "City Championship". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What talent pool will the upcoming classes have, having watched the middle schools play the last several years neither one has done very well. Lol! What you're understanding is not true. They do graduate 31 seniors and will probably be down next year from what they were this year. But the cupboard is not bare. "Talk on the Street" is that some players at South will be transferring to DB. Robinson went 6-1 this year and has the best QB in the area. Sevier has good athletes but terrible coaching. West Ridge will probably hire Stacy Carter as head coach. I think Science Hill has had their fill of him. He can't take one of the most athletic schools in the state past a 7-3 record and first round exit in the playoffs. But it would be awesome to see them hire Clark. They'd be one heck of a "first half team" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodgerDodger32 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Seen on twitter where Tom Kreager said their proposed enrollment of 1448 was rejected by the TSSAA today and that they would be 6a in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjm70 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I heard Stacy carter would get this job. Witten would be stupid to leave Elizabethton right now. I could see south’s head coach on being the new coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then whoever does their Facebook page said the other day "...will open in the fall 0f 2021 with an approximate enrollment of 1900..." Um yeah... that'll get you every time.

If West Ridge don't hire South's coach, where will he end up?? A lot of thing will be going on in the off season. Because I believe the Hill has talent available. The couple games I have been to, they just don't pack the stands like they should (IMO). Edited November 13, 2020 by Footballfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmanDB Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 If SH or any local team were to start winning championships at the 5a or 6a level and be a contender every year,folks would most definitely pack the stands for that team .Until a lot of folks see success,they are not going to get excited. Some fans never sway like the many thousands at Neyland but others are not going to reward below average success on the field.It took me 40 years to take off the orange shades and be able to say Tennessee either had it or they flat out stink some years.I use to be able look at a 6-5 year as potential for the Vols and now I just say what I think when I see it.Still, I'm not going to lie, if they were 0-6 and had Bama on the ropes,my orange blood would boil atleast until they missed a game winning field goal and cost me a TV....No, that's more like my brother but it might cost me a TV controller.

We're all just speculating of course but I'd say their going to hire a very average coach from the area. It'll be someone that has ties to whoever is in charge of making the hire. He'll be a 6-4 or 7-3, first round exit type coach. The more I think about it just moving the South coach over there makes the most sense. Science Hill would probably give Carter a raise to keep him. He'll never take them past one playoff win but he does have beating DB down pat. And thats all they care about in Johnson City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
