Awesome. I'll only be able to attend the DB game and maybe homecoming. My wife's sister is on the West Ridge dance team so I'll be going to most of their games this year. So I'll be getting my updates from you all lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been so used to Region 1 vs 2 alcoa Maryville Knox west Anderson the past few years I had forgotten they used to be region 3. It looks like…..3 years they made it to the 4th round but got stuck on Alcoa and CAK. Man that’s been such a long time ago. THey got to round 4 with a pretty good team and met a very good alcoa team, although one year I remember they played them really close. My point still stands tho, it took a lot of years to get over that hump and in SH case they still deal with Maryville and for Betsy, them Greeneville and lately Anderson feel like are the hurdles to deal with in 4A. Alcoa, CAK (Rusty Bradley era) and Greeneville (Ballard era) are way more than a "hump" to get over. More like getting over the Himalayas, and IMO not a reflection on Witten's coaching ability.

The word is they passed him over for consideration because he wanted to bring one or two coaches from Betsy with him. I believe the truth is that Clark picked his replacement from the get-go and all the interviews were just for show. And that shows that in Kingsport it's not about winning or the kids or the fans. It's all about keeping the "Good Ole' Boy Network" in power. The football program will never be anything more than it is right now today. Somewhat average. The coaching "search" was a farce. Christian is a nice guy, but things are never going to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Witten had the resources of a SH or a DB. You'd be looking at Maryville 2.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would like to see what he could do at a 6A program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB - has the GOB system and seems to care more about the band than football SH - has no fan and community support, so maybe they don't care about football much either WR - would Witten risk leaving a very successful Elizabethton program for an unknown 6A WR?

lawnman Posted August 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 DB had there chance to get Witten and I’m not sure he would leave Betsy now because he has full control of this program from top to bottom.These kids are being taught from a real young age the plays and this system.

The reason I put WR on the list. It's still a new program, theoretically in my opinion since it doesn't already have a system in place it would be easier to get everyone on the same page from the youth league up. I agree with DB. SH is just weird to me. Carter has for sure taken the program to a new level, but imo they still aren't as good as they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
