McMinn County -vs- William Blount

Recommended Posts

This week McMinn travels to William Blount to play the Govs, both teams have not won a region game this year and are struggling to keep their programs together. McMinn was defeated by Soddy Daisy last week 30-7 and only gained 108 total yards with 78 of those coming on a long run in the 3rd quarter. The Govs were defeated by Oak Ridga 52-19 last week and have not won a game all year.

This will be the 1st McMinn team in 12 years not to qualify for the TSSAA playoffs and by far the worst offensive team since the '83 (2-8) team one year before long time head coach John Mullinax arrived. Can McMinn win their final 3 games and salavage this year and finish 5-5 or will WB win their first game of the season?

JC4Life, How's Aaron doing this year at WB?

Not too well from what I hear, according to prepextra he has 112yds on 27 carries 1TD catch and has 6 tackles. I would guess that he wishes he was still at Jefferson Co with the guys he played with for 3 years, some since middle school. It all worked out for the best for Jeff Co though, AJ leaving allowed Chris to move into the starting RB role and the rest is history.

WB-24

McMinn-7

 

After watching McMinn "play" at Soddy-Daisy, I can't pick McMinn to beat anyone else. They seemed to not want to be on the field. Right after that game was over, we were down on the field and a lot of people were saying they couldn't believe that was a McMinn team. No life, no fire, no one seemed to be trying. What has happened to McMinn?

I suppose when you have two teams that are a combined 2-12 there is not alot of trash talkin going on. I understand that you need to wear your hard hat when you go to WB because the fans have started throwing things @ coach Meadows. If McMinn can somehow win this game and beat 0-7 Bradley and 0-7 Heritage they can salavage this season (5-5) and look to next season with some hope.

This is the smallest senior class that I can remember and I have been close to the program for 13 years. I know that they will graduate Moody LB, Stansell SE & FS, McBride RB, Cox OT, Frazier WB & LB, Price K & P, Smith OT & DE, Locke RB. Even though it is a small class it had quite a bit of tallent some of which was realized and some never developed. The challange for next year will again be the O line, they have gotten alot of experience this year but they still have a long way to go to be considered good. GO TRIBE!!!!

TribeFan,

 

The WB fans had better be careful... coaches have been known to throw things back !!! B)B)B)

 

You coming to the game? I'd love to get a chance to say "hey!"

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
