Clinton Dragon Football

[player52]

Man let me tell u scott high is going to do better than what u think...Becuz they didnt play good against u dont mean they arent going to be good i mean ya they will lose to fulton and austin east but the rest is all competition....but that is ur opinion and u are right they have a real tough schedule

[cdragonz123]

player69 i absolutely disagree w/ your comment more than ive disagreed w/ any comment posted on CoachT so far. That is why Clinton hasnt won in the past couple years is b/c they didnt have a coach to organize the talent and teach the players fundamentals. Like maybe tackeling different and that could stop a long run from a short run. Or just how to catch the football or hold the football or different things like that. Thats what wasnt taught before that is now. And i believe it is making a 100% difference.

I am glad to hear that things are on the upswing for Clinton. I have a few ties to Clinton. I have known George Wilson for many years, he is from my home town as well as ex bball coach Donnie Lockard. Wilson I think retired from Dutch Valley school and he had a son that played for the Dragons a few years back. BTW what is the word on Lockard and how is he doing???????????

good luck to you guys this season. i saw you guys in the 3way with crossville and fulton. you guys look like you could win a few games because of effort and hard work. you guys are way undersized, but u did good against both hardnosed offenses. good luck

Lockard is doing well, he still comes to about every basketball game in a hoveround. And the gym was named after him last season. And is now th eDon W. Lockard gymnasium.

Travis, why did you leave your beloved Clinton to go to Halls? How did your dad get around TSSAA eligibility rules by simply renting an apartment in Halls? Something smells here! Wouldn't be because your dad is a TSSAA ref., would it?

cdragonz123, see what im talkin about tonights results with bell county explains it all.

[player69]

Travis got dumped by his girl and fell into a deep depression and so he had to transfer to a different school. Halls wont even care for him after they find out how bad his attitude is and how great he thinks he is.

Quit hating on Clinton Playa69 u went to clinton everybody knows it dont talk junk about people just because u didnt amount to anything i mean droppin out of roane state thats HUGE on ur part maybe u can get signed by Pellissippi's football team, theres no reason to talk about ur alma mater just because u hate that u didnt accomplish anything

[cdragonz123]

Yes Clinton did not have a very good game against Bell Co. andlost 35-0,and player 69 as much as it upset me off when Borum left I believe their were other reasons for transferring, possibly to look out for his future if he wants to play baseball. Because we all know Halls is current state runner up's and is supposed to be better next year and Clinton doesnt have a very good baseball program.

From what I read, Clinton did a good job of shutting down Bell County in the second half, at least. That's a positive move in the right direction. Bell County was one of the best teams in Kentucky last year with some of the best running backs in that state. So for any high school team with a new head coach, starting off in a first game against an opponent like that is always pretty tough.

 

But coaches ARE important. I point to George Quarles of Maryville as a paramount example. Took over in 1999, Maryville could have crashed and burned in 2000, but instead they went on to win 3 states in a row. Scott Meadow, also, gets my respect. His first game with Alcoa was against my boys (which is Maryville, by the way) and they beat us for the only time in the last 10 years. He revived Jefferson County and I rather wish he had stayed there and not come back to Blount County. William Blount will be tough now with him at the helm. Meadows is like the Bill Parcells of high school football.

 

So Shattuck, if he is as good as you Clinton fans think he is, may be just what Clinton needs. Just be patient. Especially since that is one heck of a tough schedule that they have.

 

After what I saw at Carter last night, though (Maryville thrashed them 55-6), you guys should be able to beat at least THEM two weeks from now, though!
