Geographically, it would take William Blount more travel time to that region that it would to Region 2 schools (Chatt Area / West Knox). How did that happen? Did the TSSAA not want to break up the 6A West Knox schools and send one North? I just don't fully understand that from a geographical perspective and travel time. The T$$AA is not that strong in geometry.... er, uh, geography Have not seen West Ridge in person but someone said they had a real wolf as a mascot... Probably some type of huskie dog but it does look like a wolf from a distance. It might be worth going to a game just to see ole wolfie trotting around on the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get up to the Upper East TN area very often unless I am headed to a Bristol race, DB game or traveling through to D.C. for work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, year after year, East TN gets bombarded with high hopes for DB and OR. At least OR has won a state championship in the last eon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they play nine more times, D-B wins all 9. They simply overlooked them when they played, came out flat, got down big early and just never could recover. Now, unless D-B miraculously finds a way to beat the Hill, then we're probably going to see a 3 way tie for the 2 seed in 1-6A, because I think West Ridge beats Jeff County. Depending on the health of the QB at Jeff Co, I think you are correct. He was on crutches with what looked like a high ankle sprain. If he is out, Jeff will lose to Mo West, West Ridge and the first round playoff opponent. Jeff doesn't have any depth there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you think the opening of West Ridge has hurt DB as far as talent? Obviously, DB will be DB until the end of time and in the families where football matters, they will send their sons to DB. But it sure couldn't have helped the situation opening a new school.

Also, for the record, I have known Joey Christian for several years and think the world of him as a man and as a football coach. We went to church together growing up and they DO NOT make better men than one's like Joey Christian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me ponder whether the new Blount Co school (Eagleton? HS) will be able to mimic that same success in the W/L column. HVA actually got to 7 wins in year #2. Outside of their inaugural 1-win season, they won 5 games or more every year Wes was the HC, which Potter has yet to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR can't hurt DB in students, athletes, coaches, teachers...nothing. It is County School out on an Interstate and they don't have Kingsport $$$$ and never will. WR has a good senior class, strong Line and hard running QB. Depth is not good...2021 will be WR's best football season for a long time...

That is fascinating. Is there anyway that the new Eagleton High School that will be playing varsity football in a few years will be able to manufacture that same type of success.
