They were disciplined until York wanted to turn it into a UFC fight.

Groves.  He has won me over.  Teams know he's getting it.  And York was trying to end his season.  He still averages 4 to 7 a carry then breaks several a game. If you don't admire that I'm not sure wh

Who wouldn't want their kid to play for coach Frost? Classy guy! Bet he's a blast to play for too.

 No doubt on his success but great coaches are judged in games where you’re not favored by 35 lol if he wins this one he’ll have nudged me a good bit. Having watched him many times like you his schemes and team discipline are terrible. There are not many public schools in any class with this much talent so just winning games is not good enough its gold ball or nothing in a perfect storm like this. 

Exactly this. What's your record when you are going against equally talented teams.

I'm a Marion County fan, I know what the "Experts" said, but if you talked to anybody that had watched both teams especially late in the season, ER was hands down the favorite. I might be in the minority on this, but I think ER had the talent advantage against all 3 of those teams with Marion being the closest, but there was a clear gap.

I understand I was just answering the question. Marion was undefeated, Smith already beat ER once, York was undefeated. ER was picked to lose on the road to all 3.

Marion & York didn't play the hardest schedule this year. Marion had a couple of close calls against less talented teams. I think ER could open it up a little more on Offense but their HC has them playing hard and he plays to their strengths. I haven't seen Riverside but it is hard for me to believe that any team in 2A is just head and shoulders better talent wise than ER. 

 

How many kids did Riverside return from last year?

I really don’t know how many is returning I’ve read they got alot of seniors. Their schedule is tougher than ER no doubt . It’s definitely going to be a tall task for ER to pull this off due to being so young.

I think it was 10/11. Tall task for a young ER team.

We graduated our QB, one WR and a D lineman. I believe an offensive lineman too I can’t remember. We have a very experienced team that’s been to the big game hopefully that’ll be a big advantage for us coming into this one.

In TN hes got the 2nd ranked player in the 24’ class 15th in 25’ and top 5 in 26’. All with SEC offers another that will get SEC offers and several more with FCS offers. Disregarding my argument of the validity of their actual talent its really almost unheard of in public school ball much less 2A.  You have to win it all or you failed as a coach imo. Talent isn't everything but its always the driving factor. Going to be a great game. Riverside is tough and experienced with good talent and ER is ultra athletic with good line play. Going to be a great 2A matchup

I agree for the most part. Still trying fill out 8 or 9 more on my he field is tuff. ER is sophomore heavy with a freshman QB. You can see at times the youth. Now if this was a JR/SR class heavy absolutely

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
