2011 right?  Wasn’t that the team with the big lineman Jelks who went to Vandy?  He was a handful. 

Yep. They were a load. Looking back, it’s kinda surprising we didn’t have an even bigger drop-off the following year. It wasn’t just the 18-19 starters. A lot of our top end depth that year were seniors too. Gotta give mad respect to Coach Counce. He still cobbled together what was left and went 8-3 the next year. 
 

Andrew Jelks is an assistant coach now.

Enough about whoever it is your talking about. This thread is about the Tullahoma Wildcats.

Yes, 22 seniors graduated. Did they all start? No. Multiple starters went both ways, sometimes starting and sometimes not. Since the Wildcats blew out most of their opponents, the younger players got a lot more playing time than would normally be the case. Sometimes they played over half the game.

Additionally, the upcoming classes have been in the same system and same weight training program as last year's seniors. I think they will do better than expected. Both coordinators return and keep an eye on the kicking game. It will be impressive.

I'm not predicting a region title for the Wildcats, but I do think they will be one of four playoff teams. I'm predicting 8-2 or 7-3 and maybe third in Region 5-4A.

Expect the same four teams; Pearl Cohn, Tullahoma, Marshall County, and Montgomery Central to go to the playoffs from this ridiculous nine-team region.

I went back and read every post on this thread. Every post has been about Tullahoma or comparing another team to Tullahoma. Your way off base with your first comment.

    • Who’s going to lead the pirates offense this year?
    • Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.
    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
