Unaka being good?

[spanky51jhs]

I have heard over and over that Unaka is going to be a force to deal with this fall, I have even heard that they have an incoming freshman that can bench 415. I was just wondering if anyone who knows anything about Unaka would give me an answer and if other teams in their division should be worried

[shotgunred]

Has unaka ever been good....NO!!!!!!

they never will be....by the way.....if you can find this sucker who can bench 415 send him to to a doctor cause he popped one too many steroids.

I really doubt Unaka will be a "good" team this upcoming year. They should be about average, probably will make the playoffs because a team in their region moved to 2A. No way they have a freshman benching that much, nobody in the state has a freshman benching that much.

What team has moved into the 2A bracket?

[pujo]

Powell Valley combined with another small school and now they will be 2a.

thanks...what school did they combine with?

I don't think that second place behind Cloudland is out of the question. I'd love to see them do well.

Well, best of luck to Unaka.

Unaka can be good if they work on their skills and in the weight room. Teams have to be careful because a team can slip up on them. If the freshman can bench 415, he must have worked extremly hard. I think if it is true, people need to congratulate him not accuse him of steriod use like shotgunred. I am not a Unaka fan and never will be. But if your team plays Unaka dont over look them hard work will make anyone better then the next.

HEY LANDER GOLFER........i think you need to quit sniffin glue bottles and get into the real world........theres no way an upcoming freshman can bench 415.....if he can bench 415 then he must be on steroids.

Shotgunred needs to learn to read between the lines and not jump to conclusions I see. First off I did not say it was true or not true but that anything is possible and we need to congratulate him on such an accomplishment if it is true and encourage him to achieve a higher goal. Instead of accusing him of steriod use when you read it you could have waited at least until you know it is true. The accusation is out of line and shows your maturity is not where it should be to be posting on these message boards to accuse and try to taint a person's effort when they can most likely not defend himself. This is all I have to say on this matter! Anyway good luck Cloudland and Unaka in the upcoming season.

I have noticed that everyone talks about speed, how much one can bench press and athletic ability. Football iskinda like boxing, to be successful you have got to be willing to indure some pain. No matter what a players skill, speed and strength is if he can't take some punishment then all this counts for very little. Lots of players are very skillful, but they just can't take it. Some less skillful make better ball players because they can take the punishment.
