Yes, I was there. I've never seen nor heard of 85 points scored in a middle school game! We have some talent coming up but I wouldn't say that it's great but a lot of players to be developed. Several talented running backs and receiver types and a couple of QBs that show some promise, including Coach Green's son. Linemen are typically mediocre at best but a couple looked potentially dominant. If we can keep Clinton and the private schools away from them, they should be a good group for the future. 

I can one up that. 

Last night Karns Middle beat South Doyle Middle 68-45 (nope, not a typo) at South-Doyle.  Apparently neither defense came out of the locker room. 

 

Even the scoreboard operator was so busy he failed to update the correct quarter.

Yeah, I saw the score and couldn’t believe it. I’m glad we have some talent in the wings coming up. Get several good classes in a row like we have with the Sophomore class and you have a good chance of being really good. Plus, when they get good coaching and get on a good weight program, you never know how good some of those kids can be.

I would bet that rang will serve his suspension and not be on the phone trying to call in plays it's not worth the trouble it will bring if he's caught and tbh when has Coach Gaddis listened to anyone else lol

One part of your statement is true

Maybe he has never listened to anyone before now, but in this case, he listened to Rang. I guess there's a first time for everything 

Who listened to who?

Yikes. Do the Beavs possibly have some good talent coming up?

It's hard to measure knox middle school ball. Half the team will play somewhere else at HS. There is no affiliation with the schools so anyone can play for any knox team. You don't even have to live in knox county.

Actually they do.  

My eldest grandson is in the 5th grade, but because Karns doesn't have enough kids for a 5th grade team he is playing up on the 6th grade team. 6, 7, and 8 all practice together and I take my grandson to practice a couple of nights per week.  There is some really good talent there. The key will be keeping it at Karns. If they can keep the core at home they have an opportunity to be competitive in a few years.

Sort of, but not really.  

The teams that play in the MAC have a "gentleman's agreement" that the kids on their teams are zoned for the high schools they represent. 

While I am not naive enough to know that there are kids playing out of zone, a large majority are playing where they should be playing by zone or they have a transfer to that zone for so,e reason.

Unless Rang is a liar, Gaddis listened to Rang.

Who is who's boss?

You seem to have all the answers but as I just think out loud, I think the principal would be the boss and any successful head football coach is way more powerful than an athletic director.
