Be careful what you wish for.... 1. Phil had two NFL tailbacks. Not one but TWO! Granted he was smart enough to give them the football. 2. He also had several and I mean several D 1 athletes on those teams. Is anyone saying he wasn't a good coach? No I am not. 3. Just curious about what Phil's records were before he got to Powell Valley? Go ahead and check that stat. Plus, PV had a state title under their belt with James B. The groundwork had already been established.

Holston and PH are on playing on Friday.

You may want to read what I said...Obviously that is too hard for you to comprehend.

Yeah okay....

I doubt that they would get smoked by 3 of the 4.

I agree...I think it is way too far fetched with small schools having to face schools with double the enrollment. The people making these decisions should go and watch a practice at a small single A school. Keep a balance with hard numbers is the most logical thing in my opinion, but when does logic apply in our world today.

I was just curious. How many students does Giles have? Didn't they have to get "approved" to play in Single A?

Well there are those times when really good teams struggle from time to time but find a way to get it done. Let's not act like Giles is the Giles of old.

Let me get this straight....I am just trying to figure out what all was meant by the earlier post. 1. VHS is now a juggernaut? Patterson did weather a miserable start at Holston and had some success. Congrats to him and VHS. I will say that took a lot of perseverance on his part. I will also say this, they do have some DUDES on that team; however, they did give up 93 points in two games. I am just saying that they have a very favorable schedule. I am not sure they are the second best team in Region 2D or the fifth best team in 2D. You shouldn't count out Union, Ridgeview, and Wise Central. Graham is different. I guess anyone is beatable on any given night. 2. What does no disrespect to Akers mean? That makes absolutely no sense at all with what you said. They lost the region D player of the year and the WCYB player of the year and they have the best record at Holston they have had since 1983 or 1984? Are you saying that his coaching has nothing to do with it? I believe that they only are giving up 7 points a game. I actually saw them play earlier and they would be giving up less than that without subbing in the second half. I will say this about Akers... everyone on here listens to the All Great and Knowing Wizards of Gate City, you know they invented football down there... Look at Fort now compared to where they were a few months ago. You can bash every coach on this board over something, but at the end of the day, the coach doesn't block, the coach doesn't tackle, and the coach sure doesn't fumble the football. 3. Giles barely beat a mediocre Grayson team. 4. Giles beat a miserable Blacksburg team. 5. In other words, don't crown Giles just yet because they did give up 21 to a winless Fort team.

I don't think anyone would leave that pay scale in Kingsport for the one in Russell County.

I tend to agree with Plywood King on this one.

I was at the game in 2019 between the two. In my opinion, had Galax not thrown the interception before the half for the TD, the game would and could have ended differently. Riverheads had no answer for the ground game of Galax with the Brown kid carrying the rock.

Who let the Appo fans in the gate in the first place?

I am definitely not one of those fans. I would like to see Lee become competitive again and I do think it is a shame when kids can't stay and help be a part of the solution to a problem. Can't always run to the greener pastures all of the time. It takes a lot of pride and hard work to fix something that is broken. It will take TN time, that I do know.

I hope they do.

I personally believe it is going to be tough for anyone to walk in and fix it right away. The people are going to have to be patient and supportive of the new guy. I am not sure anyone in Lee County wants to hear that.
