blazer1set Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Well, how did the Tri-cities do tonight? All 5 teams are one-and-done, losing by a combined score of 180-30. At least Tennessee High and Science Hill scored, so hats off to them. Is anything ever going to change in the Tri-cities? Nah..... someone bookmark this thread for the 1st round 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelwoman87 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I was shocked at the sparse crowd for SH last night. They were hosting Maryville finally for a playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expatriate Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Here's one way to look at it: This was supposed to be a comparatively "up" year for Science Hill and a comparatively "down" year for Maryville. This was supposed to be the best chance ever for Science Hill to beat Maryville in the playoffs. Maryville won by 26 points and the game was basically over in the 2nd quarter.

Tab Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Some of the schools have bad coaching and have for years. I don’t see anything changing. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very strange atmosphere to watch a big school play football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah..... someone bookmark this thread for the 1st round 2024 This was a topic around the table this morning. You have the occasional situation like last year where SH made it to the 3rd round but that’s more uncommon than common. Most years it is a mass round 1 exit. It’s troubling and, if football remotely matters, something has to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmanDB Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Just my two cents. As a parent of a couple young men who attended one of these programs, I took it personally to have my boys as physically ready to play before they ever got to the high school level. That just left the coaching up to the coaches. One of mine stayed the distance and got the very most out of his potential and that was all NET .The most gifted had a no BS policy as did many of his gifted teammates. I guess the answer for Batman is it starts at home and continues with the coaches and everyone involved with a program. Some parents expect little jimmy to go from a boy to a man and frankly, not all coaching staff’s are as good as Greeneville and Elizabethton’s.No way these schools should be able to beat the local 5a and 6a schools as often as they do. We know now by watching these 4a powerhouses over the last 15 years, that there is talent in NET. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
