@Chiledeme Salty much? Despite the fact last year's State Championship team was made up of Franklin County kids or not, it's obvious why they made that choice and it seemed to be the right one. If anyone's the blame, blame Franklin County's admin for the high turnover from the top to bottom. Blame them for hiring coaches that don't know how to coach talent and not putting them in a position to succeed. Don't worry though, ya'll should when the state championship this year with that bunch of seniors ya'll have, that's what the community thinks anyway. If Tullahoma has a better program than the school I'm currently sending my children to, heck, I'd send my kids there too.

@Chiledeme I want to apologize, I misplaced my @ with the wrong person. That was for @Twistedwedge

Nope just stating the Facts.  I do blame Franklin County's admin. That was my point in the post.  The north middle school has been a recruiting hot bed for Tullahoma for years and now the head football coach for North is  encouraging players to go to Tullahoma  and the admin know this and do nothing . BY the way i am not worried about state championship at this time.  Some may be looking ahead at state this year but me i worry about one game at a time. I am sure that throughout last season Tullahoma community thought that the senior class would win state.  Deference is that if FC does it they do it with talent from Franklin County.   But your right no matter how Tullahoma won state the fact is they won state.

@Twistedwedge Those kids that you are talking about have been playing in Tullahoma since they were little kids. That whole group of seniors played together from Pop Warner to the time they graduated, expect maybe 2.

I don't really care one way or the other, but one starting OL was on the roster at FC in July, then played at Tullahoma.  Dad got a job there, and it's totally fine (ironically enough, think he had come to FC FROM Tullahoma some years before).  Two other OL played middle school ball in FC, one at North, the other at South.  Another kid (not OL) played youth football in Winchester for at least 2-3 years, but was always going to play school ball in Tullahoma.  Different sport, but I have a neighbor who played baseball there and we live 15 miles from Tullahoma.  Don't blame him for going there one bit.  I know and like all of these kids except one (don't really know him except by name).  Coached them all at one time or another and am glad for anything good that happens to them.

None of it means much except that FC would be better if they had their act together enough to keep more kids home (seem to be making a little progress).  And Tullahoma has done a good job of making their program into an attractive place to play.  Adding 3-4 starters to an already good team is a nice way to win a few extra games, in my view.  Certainly better than losing 3-4 from a single class.

Tend to doubt this.  There are several other Middle Schools in Lincoln County who can choose to play HS ball at City if they like.  So, imo, City isn't likely going anywhere.  Besides, if their MS has been in decline 3-4 years and that's a determining factor, the HS should've been better 3-4 years ago than now.  They obviously weren't.  

You need to research before you doubt publicly. They were undefeated in 2019 and got DQ'd by TSSAA on a ridiculous transfer ruling. They won state 2 year ago. This group of seniors and the grade above them were untouchable in middle school. The junior class was just average without KJ and it's been downhill since then. The only bad season in that stretch was when half the team quit after the first game in 2018 and they phoned the season in.  A new coach and they've been a top team in the state for now 4 seasons. Last 4 seasons: 10-0, 13-2, 12-2, and now 3-0. Obviously weren't? :roflol:

They were 1-10 four seasons ago.  You said middle school has been declining for four years and now you say four years ago they were untouchable in MS.  Regardless, there are 3-4 more middle schools to pull from in LC and I suspect they'll do just that.

Of course there will be some ups and downs, but there has been a lot of talent in Lincoln County for 40 years (four state titles in that period, of course), and that's not going away.  It's highly likely that City will get plenty of that going forward - I don't see LCHS pulling most of it any time soon.  You may just discover that you're not as informed about football inside of Lincoln County as you think and should've done some research yourself. 

I doubt you are correct.  Fayetteville doesn't look like a normal 1A team, and there are very good reasons for that.  Those reasons aren't going away, regardless of your middle school observations.

I think Marshall Co. wins by 2 scores also. Tullahoma has lots of juniors and sophomores. Better to get Tullahoma earlier in the season. I think they’ll be pretty good in the 2nd half of the season.  I’m thinking  3rd or 4th in the region. 

I’m adjusting my prediction to Marshall by 25-30. Heard Tullahoma may be missing a few starters tonight. I hope that’s just a rumor.

I believe you fellas are correct. I heard that there were not near as many dressing out tonight for Tullahoma. Good luck to the players on and off the field. They are gonna need it!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
