I remember back in 2014 Huntland beat City 48-14 and announced the records they broke to the crowd at the end of the game.  It was the second varsity team we had and if memory serves correctly we only had 19 healthy kids at the time.  Huntland set the tone for our rivalry in football that evening IMO.  This week reminds me of that but the other way around.

Friday night is going to be no fun for Huntland.   Respect to the Hornet players for sticking with their team during a tough year.  Best wishes for good health to both teams.

Go Tigers!

I remember that. Was very odd response considering the year before city could have put 200 on huntland and chose not to. I wouldn’t be surprised to see city put 60 up tonight. May be one of the last city vs huntland games for the foreseeable future

I don't see how City could have kept the score down  in some of the region mismatches this year.  We have lots of kids on the team who need playing time and the chance to get personal stats and experience.  Coach Johnson is a good guy who subs his players out once he has given them the opportunity to play and reap the rewards of their work during the week.  The situation has often been that the second string has little drop off and later the freshman linemen come in fresh against tired players and dominate.  Combine that with speedy freshman skill players and the Tiger cubs start to score.  What seems intentional is in reality just a coach developing his players.  SP has had to deal with this when they have had mismatches in their region.   This is why I like the new "Mercy Rule" even though it reduces the number of plays available to sub out and develop the team.

City going to 2A for a couple of years will be good in developing the program. Region opponents should have more depth. 

I kinda wish there were a way to flex on the Huntland coaches tonight without being too rough on the players.   I don't see how to do that either.  Such is life.

I agree with you GT all except the mercy rule.  I wouldn't have dropped it from 35 points to 30.  Too big of a drop I think.

    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching stuff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching stuff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
