I just received my stats package for the game Friday.  A brief look at the stats on both teams, and it appears this game is going to be closer than some think.  Those guys that wear red better be focused, and play clean. 

 

 

Good luck to you guys. They need to stay focussed. Last years game probably is a great reminder.

I will be here to discuss. I will say it again. If McKenzie blows this one. They should fire the coach at the midfield trophy presentation. This Clay County team isn’t as good as the 2021 Pirate team and I believe McKenzie is a lot better than their 2021 team. Someone here said it best. SP had some guys named Kelly, Davis, and Hunter that Clay simply doesn’t have. Our D line was better, but Clay has nothing like Deandre Kelly either. 
 

This matchup is similar to the 2014 Union City vs Coalfield game in terms of talent on each side. 

Brother I have to disagree.That Coalfield team wasnt a very good team alot like this year.Had a good young QB in McKinney and  Couple good linemen.Came to GB and won with 7 seconds left and we weren't a very good team either.This Clay team would beat that CF team by what this Clay team "should" have this year or worse.The East that year was terrible just like this year. This CF team and 14 had a Cakewalk to the Semis and 14 had easy street to finals.

Never fails when the East is bad we are down and when we are good we have to face a very good South Pitt in a slobber Knocker.

Your right about 21 Pitt had alot more talent than Clay,the two bothers and the big guy who transferred in were the BIG differences.Kelley was good no doubt but the big three were the reason Pitt was in Chattanooga. 

Clay just has to play their game and ANYTHING  can happen!

How has Clay County been able to get competitive in football the last couple of seasons?   They were a doormat for much of the last 20 years.

Because they have more talent at the skill positions than they've had in a really long time. Those kids have been playing together since youth league and most of them are seniors now. They'll lose a lot after this season but this senior class is one of the best to ever come through Clay Co.

The senior class has some talented Jimmys and Joes,  literally. They have a kid that will be All-State for his 3rd year and another kid that will get that designation for his second straight. 28 should also get the nod he’s had an amazing year and has the most TDs in a season in CHS/CCHS history passing a bunch of legends on the way.  It is the winningest class to ever come through Celina, they have been coached up by alot of people that know the game of football and continued to grind, taken the bad with the good and it has paid off. It’s all been working towards this one 48 minute game where anything can happen. The last 2 years they have been a top 10 team, top 5 all of this year in my opinion. 
 

They will fall off some after this year maybe even more than I anticipate, because of losing 9 major contributors and my guess is have a new look coaching staff.

I see what you did there with the Jimmys and Joes comment. Also I believe Marcom has broken both the single season rushing yards and single season rushing TDs records for Clay County this year, quite an accomplishment

Clay County had some good athletes last year when they played SP. Those good athletes are back this season for their farewell performance.

The biggest difference here is good and great.

    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
