exacty my thought, mynameis, exactly. u just worded it. this years schedule isnt a hard one, and thats what iwas tryin to say. that maybe last year they didnt do well in the playoffs b/c they were outmatched by somebody who had played in big games, against great teams....i couldnt say it any better than u did though, it dont seem like anybody at cumberland county is preparing for the playoffs

What most people don't realize is that our location is the biggest factor in who we play. You guys from the "boro" don't know how good you have it. You can hop on a bus or in your car and drive 10- 30 minutes and face some of the most competitive teams in the state. Now grap a map and find Cumberland Co. I'm pretty sure you will see that we play every 5a team with-in a 50-60 mile radius of our school. We also play or are willing to play every 4a team in that same area.(We can't make them play) Most teams have no reason to get in to a home and away series with a team that is 100 miles or more away. If you look on this year'schedule you'll see we are already traveling around 100 miles in home and away series with Lincoln,Franklin,Lavergne, Wilson Central and Pigeon Forge. Also look at Coffee(80 miles), McMinn and Warren (60 miles). I hope this might shed a little light on our schedule for all our critics.

If you consider the spring to be anything like the regular season than you are out of your mind.

 

I knew of the location problem when I made my post. You may not get the best teams in the state to play home and homes, but I won't believe you couldn't find more competitive games than White County and Wilson Central.

We've played White Co. for decades(border county rivals), believe it or not they used to be a very good team. The other thing that you need to consider about our amount of travel is not the problem with the team, but all of the fans, that have to travel as well. If you don't approve of our schedule I apoligize. But as I said we can't make teams play us and we're not willing to make our team or our fans travel 100 miles every week.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
