strongx Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Better be a great group of freshmen. I assume any good freshman and sophomores would’ve had the chance to play last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongx Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 With the our local property taxes doubling, or HOF teacher retiring, and the decision to not accept tuition students, Christmas garbage service may need to expand to offer more perks to prospective students.

strongx Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Ever since the push to have kids focus on one sport, all three primary sports teams have gotten worse. Maybe there aren’t enough Opies and the sports are better off sharing them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he cut it down to 3 sports this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there aren’t enough Opies and the sports are better off sharing them? Yep. There are a few schools in this area, most of them 6A schools, where the coaches are selfish and pretty much threaten their kids with spots on the roster if they choose to play another sport, especially football. I have no respect for coaches who do that. They are kids and only get the opportunity to play high school sports once. Depriving them of that opportunity by pressuring them not to play another sport is a slimeball move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarneySox2007 Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 When you have to count on a freshman as QB that means you have no one that is capable of running the offense and will be learning on the job especially not being able to play spring practice because they're not allowed to being at the junior high. That would be a desparation move if that were to happen. I watched the Alcoa and Maryville Middle School game and last year and Alcoa fumbled the ball on the one yard line was the only reason Maryville won. Maryville clearly got outplayed in the second half. The Maryville Qb is a good player but some people want to make him out to be his older brother right now and that won't happen for a while until he matures with time. Personally I think the Cobble kid will do a great job and he has paid his dues and understands the system so will the freshman kid eventually.

Alcoa's Defensive secondary and three interceptions kept the game close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting fact… about seven or eight years ago we had the opportunity to let our eighth graders participate at the varsity level - at least in jv. It was due to the eighth graders being with the ninth graders at a different school and the ninth graders were already eligible. T$$AA confirmed. Murvil admin attempted to silence that info and then went to the school board to pass a rule to NOT allow it. I never understood how that helped the kids. Regardless, we ain’t playing 2A like our neighbors so frosh QBs are not really an option coming out of middle school ball. Give the young kid a chance to learn - maybe he gets in the mix at other positions to get his feet wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
