Quiet in Meigs camp

Who’s the q coming up ? I keep hearing they are getting a kid moving in from neighboring county which would work for the run left program.  The only impact player left is a young Malone no real help from the senior class, if the new recruits don’t help it’s going to be a long season.

Martin will be transferring to Meigs from Rhea county to start as the running back quarterback .   Rumor has it Pendagrass one of the parent was involved heavily in the recruiting process to go as far as to offer his apartment .  That will keep it legal but sure doesn’t set well with the students or parents .   Guess if you can’t coach you recruit .  The run left program is alive and well.  So why would a 5A starter transfer to a 2A program ? another fun fact is that Martin had worn out his welcome with current staff.  Fitzgerald is known for going after Rhea county players add this to the list .  Just keeping it real !

The next aaron swafford poach from Rhea?  Does seem odd a starter for a 5A team would go to a 2A school. 

Upset? As a new parent with a upcoming freshman I am Thrilled! 

 We would have been hard pressed to complete for State this year without a good option at Qb and now we are set for the next 2 years! Hopefully by then we will have someone ready. 
I do know some facts that might ease your mind. Ms Swafford applied for a job at Meigs county! Need more? 
Kaleb’s brother also played at Meigs NOT RHEA and was all state. He’s now playing college football at ETSU! 
 So for the crying dad who’s son isn’t good enough, how about working harder and complaining less. It’s the Tiger way!

I think Meigs has several good players. Also a real good coaching staff. I’ll get my report soon and get back with you.
 We might even have to place a small wager since your prediction is gloom and doom.

More than one way to skin a cat.

Well fortunately my kid graduated a year ago .  So the sore dad comment is a bit silly .  But as the saying goes if you can’t coach you poach.

Maybe more like if you don’t have the talent in your district, you poach. Which seems to be the case with Meigs’ best players in their new found success under Fitz. The necks in the stands enjoy screaming and cheering for kids from other counties. 
 

but that’s just the way it is now. Take any state champ caliber team, and it will not be a homegrown roster with kids that grew up together in the district. Those days are gone for good. So I hope the teams i root for do the same. Recruit like heck baby!!  Just the way it is now.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • 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.
