I didn’t realize you were a Trousdale fan. 

I went to Macon Co High School but 
I was born in Hartsville, my parents and I stripped tobacco with Jim Satterfield and I have family currently playing for the Jackets. I watched that team play several years and Payne was a beast runner but his passing was suspect. They lost to DCA the year before because they stacked the line and forced Trousdale to pass.

teams Macon beat (Upperman, Anderson Co, White Co, and Westmoreland) beat all 14 teams Trousdale played that season.

You do realize TC beat BGA in 97, who won the D2 small division state championship (only 2 at that time) that season…and who Troy Fleming played RB for. You know, the guy who played at Tennessee and was drafted by the Titans. And played two years there.
 

I am in no way demeaning Macon’s fantastic team and state championship but you are absolutely going off the deep end with this stuff.

Yes I know that. BGA was the best team that Trousdale played. I was at that game and Jackets bottled him up. Macon just played Morrow who is headed to Texas A&M and shut him down.

All I am saying is 2024 Macon, 2023 Upperman and 1997 Trousdale all are very close and it’s not a clear cut #1. This Macon team proved they belong in that conversation by beating Anderson Co and Melrose.

In my opinion I still think y’all’s 2013 team is the best team at Upperman. 2018 and 2023 both were phenomenal but I don’t think you all have had a team as talented as the 13 bunch. Coaching in 2013 was the kryptonite of that team but they were young and had never been in any big games to that point

I agree

Talent wise, 2013 upperman was better than those three

Undisputed. I haven’t seen a team around here anywhere near as talented as that team. They had size, strength, speed, and a high motor from every kid on the field. And had Superman playing QB for them. Coach’s dream to have all of that on the field every Friday night

And what is amazing, there was still more talent walking the hallways. The football program was new at winning big. Still was considered a baseball and basketball school. Alot of the Jr high football talent only played baseball, basketball, or basketball abd baseball. 

That group went to state round robin in baseball spring of 2013, semi's in football fall of 2013, and the state basketball tournement in 2014. Was a great class of kids. Loaded with size, speed, numbers.

    • We have 2 PG's that will be added to the lineup and another guard and all are athletic and can handle ball pressure. Gibson County beat Westview 4 times in 2024. Westview brought in a Miss Basketball Candidate from South Fulton last year and you want to say Gibson County has a mental hump against Westview. I tell you what you put her on Gibson County's squad and Westview would have had a mental hump. Here is a fact. They wouldn't have won it without her last year. Last I looked Gibson County has played with who we got on our campus. Let's see how Westview does this year with who they got on their campus. I do think they will be pretty good but I don't like shots being taken at my school especially from Westview. 
    • Smith County fans are delusional is they are wanting to get rid of Dyer. If they think they are supposed to be some powerhouse of a football program that wins 10+ games every year they need a reality check. Never have been that good of a football program and probably never will. It’s too hard for a small rural place to be consistently good every single year 
    • If you’re talking about when they lost to Corbin HS out of Kentucky(4A school in KY) in 2017, they lost by 1 point and Corbin went 14-2 that year in Kentucky so to say they got “taken behind the woodshed by a mediocre out of state team” is a bit of a stretch. You act like Alcoa never loses at all. They lose games every year, granted mostly to Maryville but other teams have beaten them in the regular season. Alcoa just turns into another animal in the playoffs. Winning is a learned skill and it’s an advantage that Alcoa has over everyone when the postseason rolls around  
    • Carthage is returning QB will be his 3rd years starting and a Jr.He should be coming around.A soph tailback that got a lot of exp as a freshman.Biggest problem is the line.They have a couple of good athletes that will make plays but the rest still remain to be seen.Size is not a problem.New OC will be interesting.He is known to be a trickster but a genius in some peoples mind.Coach Dyer better get the ball rolling.I'm hearing a lot of eyes will be on him this year.GO OWLS
    • If Alcoa keeps winning titles after moving to 4a it makes the whole state look weak.  Havent they won 10 in a row or something.  My god how can a team win 10 in a row, and the 1 time they went and played a kentucky 3a team they got there ace's beat.  Some redbone coonhound team handled business on them, but they can constantly win 3a in tennessee.  I remember at the time looking up that redbone coonhound team that beat them, and found out that team is made fun of across the state of kentucky cause they havent won a title in like close to 50 years.  Think i seen they are now in 4a in kentucky, and they never won a title in the last 40-50 years no matter if they are 2a, 3a, or 4a but somehow was able to take alcoa behind the woodshed in the midst of there title run about 5-8 ,years ago dont remember the year.  Point is it looks bad when a team gets there hind end whooped like a 3 legged rented mule to a mediocre out of state team the 1 time they play them, but can dominate the whole state in 3a for over a decade.  Someone has to start beating them.
