Region 7-4A 2021 Outlook

Recommended Posts

I've seen posts on the Covington Football thread indicating that Haywood will get a turf field, and it is a done deal!

Following a presentation by Haywood Coaches Smith and Rebstock at Thursday's (April 8) board meeting, Joey Hassell (Director of Schools) tweeted, "School board gave the thumbs up to engage TLMAssociates in developing a plan for indoor practice facility with weight room for all as well as turf field and upgrades to stadium."

Since those plans haven't been submitted, funded, and approved, I wouldn't say it's a done deal just yet.  However, it does look promising, and I hope we get it all.

If you care to watch the presentation given by Coaches Smith and Rebstock during last week's (April 8) board meeting, I've listed the links.   The presentation begins at about the 10:10 mark.

There have been some good discussions on this forum so far. 

What are the chances that a team from this region makes it to the title game. I am not saying wins it, but make it there?

I believe the chances are pretty dang high. 

Thoughts?

I guarantee that a team from our region or region 5 will be there. Which one is a coin flip. But Im pretty confident that a team from 7-4A and a team from 5-4A will play in the semis the day after thanksgiving and one will go on to the ship.  No disrespect to region 6 cause there are some good teams in that region but region 5 will be a monster this year.

I’m a region 6- 4A fan. But I agree with you 100%. Hope I’m wrong though!

Congrats on this progress. Let's hope that they flatten out that weird up-turned corner in the North endzone. That always has seemed strange to me.

Thanks.  I hope plans for Covington's turf field are moving along.

The end zone problems go back to the non-regulation track that was installed in the 1960s.  Because of space limitations, I'm not sure how, or if, they will be able to handle the problem of installing a field and a regulation track without the two encroaching on each other. 

Another fly in the ointment might be the county.  I'm pretty sure the county, not the school board, owns the stadium, and I'm not so sure the county is on board with the project.  Whatever they do, they need to do it right.  If not, they'll regret it in the future.

As I had said in a previous post,  they would probably be better off building an entirely new stadium in a different area.  I know it would add a lot to the cost, but I think that would be the best solution.  The current stadium is not located on campus or school property anyway. 

Who knows what they'll do, but as they say...there's the right way, the wrong way, and the Haywood County way!

This will be an on campus facility and stadium the way I understand it.

    • 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. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
