Obviously looking at scores , it appears Lebanon will have their way with Cookeville.   Can anyone tell me more about the blue devils?   Can anyone give an old man hope that the cavs can hang around a while?  

Bold prediction here, Lebanon has the talent to play with the best in 6a… they played Oakland reasonably last year… Lebanon returned nearly every starter this season. Lebanon won’t ever have a team this stacked with talent ever again.

 

Cookeville gets trounced by 42.

I’m not sure if I agree with you here. If Gentry keeps winning they should be pretty good for a while.
 

Lebanon has always had talent, but the problem is that most of them were walking the halls and not playing football.

 

Winning seems to change that!

Lebanon will always have the better talent, it’s a  much more diverse part of the county. The thing they have working for them is it’s NOT a metro school lol so Gentry came along and you’re right converted many kids that were just walking the halls. Now they’re winning and only more kids will want to be apart of that.

Lebanon by however much. Seems like the wheels have fell off the Cookeville football Train couldn't believe how they played last year and from what I'm seeing and hearing from upper Cumberland Folks is that it's not gonna get much better. Wouldn't be surprised if after this year they play monterrey instead of upperman.

Hey hey...lets take it easy on my alma mater.   Lets just chill out and give this new coach some time to turn things around.  

There are many reasons that have been hashed out over and over on here as to why the "wheels have fell off". 

 

We have never and will never had the athletes to beat the  best teams in the state at the highest classification. That just is what it is with demographics and what not.  BUT we certainly have enough talent and bodies to compete and not get blown out like last year.  I think the new staff is taking some pride and changing things.  It will be a slow process and will take years obviously but I am optimistic. 

 

I do worry about our D stopping the blue devils. I'm afraid if the offense doesn't help the D out by sustaining drives and taking some time off, this could get ugly quick.

Lebanon wins this one pretty convincingly . With Maynard gone from Cookeville, Lebanon may keep their foot on the gas a little longer. I can't figure Cookeville out. What are they the 5th biggest public school in the state,  yet they seem to rarely compete in any sport. 

I wouldn't say any sport.    If you are referring to boys basketball and football i can see your point. But many other sports "compete" and even get close to winning. Baseball has done well in the recent past, soccer has a fairly good tradition. Cross Country is at the state meet every year.    Golf routinely sends teams and individuals to state.  Wrestling has had good success under coach Cook, etc..

  Again like my post above, it comes down to demographics.  We are a rural area that chose to build one large high school (dumb) that made it hard to compete against murfreesboro, chattanooga, and now Wilson Co teams.     

It is what it is.   And now to make matters worse, some of those athletes have begun going to baxter and monterey for different reasons (newer school, coaching changes, etc) and that just adds to it.  

 

Go Cavs

My thoughts exactly on Lebanon. Extremely talented group. Will still take a lot to get past Oakland/Maryville. it they’ve got as good a shot this year as any

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
