Toppper fans, don't be offended by this statement because I am just stating something I have observed year to year:        For the level of talent that is generally on the field at SH the Toppers always underachieve.    I don't know exactly, it's almost like they just can't focus all that talent together.   Not sure if everybody is just doing their own thing, not listening to the coaches, etc.        If you guys disagree or maybe I am not seeing something right feel free to chime in.

I am not convinced that SH plays a tough enough regular season schedule.  Team speed kills and SH has not ever shown that they have enough team speed to win a state championship.

You could be right, it just seems to me that if the Toppers could ever play together as one cohesive unit they would be a force to be reckoned with.

I understand that it would be a long trip but SH should really schedule one of the top teams from Middle Tennessee early every season.  It would show not only how good of a team SH has but it would also show what they need to improve on to compete for a state title.

They don't have to go to Middle Tennessee for that. There's Maryville and Alcoa in East Tn. or even Elizabethton and Greeneville right in their own backyard. Other than the past couple of years with Oakland you can't do much better than those four teams I mentioned.

Their non-conference is Elizabethton, Powell, Maryville, and Daniel Boone. Not too shabby of a schedule.

While they are private schools you have multiple ones in the Nashville area that are strong and always searching for games.

I 100% agree. The speed argument shouldn't be an issue because they have successful track and field and basketball programs. I have always found them to be soft. With the talent there, they should be a powerhouse. SH and DB always disappoint.

I think SH underachieves way more that DB.   But in the end neither of them will ever get past Maryville in round 3 so maybe it's a moot point.

      several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.

      GoFundMe for Blackman Freshman with Spinal Cord Injury

      By mat73557 · Posted

      Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
