Don’t know that the Irish were missing much.

I assumed Oak Ridge was missing a few players because they usually have guys play both sports, the only rotation Catholic player that plays football is Quincy (maybe Aron),  But then again I don't know who the new players would be for the Irish. Nevertheless a good win by Coach Blair and staff.  I hope they do well this season,  tough schedule for Catholic.

Expect Dobyns-Bennett to be a strong team that can make a 3rd straight state tournament.

Chris Poore is without question one of the best HS Coaches in the State. How do you replace the dynamic duo of Stump and Gillespie? With 6 really good guards, most all Sophs. 

Open tonight vs Volunteer (state tournament team last season)

Poore seems year in and year out to get the absolute most he can out of his guys regardless of how much talent they do or don’t have

Not sure Quincy is playing. Didn’t participate this summer to focus on football. You know Q that sometimes they change their mind once football is over….

You need to get a clue. 

Long way to go, but watching the game last night I would agree with him right now.  Definitely not the team we had the last two years.  A 51 point win over Volunteer may look nice from the naked eye, but Volunteer lost all five starters from last year's state tournament team and was, to put it frank, not very good.  As he said, the conference is very weak this year.  West Ridge lost to Cocke County last night at home, Boone lost their Mr. Do It All.  Crockett dropped down a classification and I think the Hill stayed mainly intact, but should only see marginal improvement this year.

Good news is with Crockett dropping down, nobody is eliminated before the region tournament this year.

Will we get better as the season goes along?  Of course.  Will we get good enough to make it to the glass house?  Only time will tell, but definitely need a lot of improvement over last night for sure.

East TN 4A will be Oak Ridge and Sevier County if I had to put money on it.  Maryville is only other team that I think could beat those two since they won vs Sevier last night.  DB and Sevier Co leagues are very weak.  Region 2:  Oak Ridge has a cakewalk in District 3 and then District 4 is brutally tough, but any of those teams could defeat a Region 1 Sectional opponent.  Still would not pick against OR and SC right now in a tournament setting.

    • 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.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
