Huntingdon travels to the Hawks Nest looking for their 1st W. Mustangs are young and licking their wounds from the McKenzie butt whipping. What do the Hawks have?

Mustangs got beat pretty bad last year in their first game and regrouped to win 9 games. Mustangs will be ready to play against the Hawks because they are Mustangs.

As always with the Mustangs, coaching is the achilles heal. Lots of talent on both sides of the ball but once we get behind the slow paced offense will not be able to keep up. By now you would think Huntingdon would have a pass defense but unfortunately not. D-backs are 10 yards off the receiver and looks like they have never been taught how to defend a passing offense. Now this is no fault of the boys, as they give their all every down, it comes down to coaching and we have been lacking there for awhile. The Mustangs will have a good year and will make it to the 2nd or 3rd round, but as with years past we will get out coached and it's not fair to the boys. Huntingdon has been needing a change for a couple years now and it's the most talked about secret in town. 

As far as this Friday nights game I think the Mustangs come out on top if we can contain the pass. Flowers will put the qb on his back all night if he takes his time back there. Eubanks is quick, has a good arm, and can motor. Skippy can flat move and is tough as nails. All the skill positions are well staffed and have backups to give some rest. I know south side will definitely be a test and the boys need a win after taking the stomping last Friday night.

I agree with everything you said in the first paragraph. Except Huntingdon has needed a change a lot longer than a couple of years.  But Huntingdon has no speed in the backfield. No quickness or moves. They do play tough.

Had no speed in the backfield last year and won 9 games with as brutal schedule. Swenson ain't perfect but who you going to replace him with. I don't see any great coaches around west tennessee that I would rather have than Swenson. It ain't like you got a John Tucker or a Paul Ward around these parts. Better be careful what you wish for.

Had more speed last year than this year. Who said you had to get a coach from W Tn. Tucker and Wards offense wouldn’t work in today’s game either.

I have had a couple of my Huntingdon friends over the years say they wish Comer would come over.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
