It is hard to beat someone when you don't have the ball. Looks like they will have 2 to 3 of the kind of kid they look for in the backfield. I disagree strongly. Three yards and a cloud of dust you reference is a misnomer. Their state state runner-up team wasn't that. They had better players and Cole Sigler to break the homerun. They were not "three yards and a cloud of dust". They had really good personnel.....dynamic at all positions, including the offensive line. That is not who they are now. However, they can still be successful. They will be a very good team this year. Honestly, I think their strength is on the defensive side of the ball. That's how they stayed in games last year. The question will be what will happen when they play a team that has better athletes? That methodical type offense doesn't always work when playing from behind. Can they score 21 or 28 points in a game to beat Gibson, Southridge, or Mt. Vernon? The rest of the schedule doesn't pose much of an issue.

I completely disagree...in their BEST of the BEST teams in the past 10 years there were some kids who could hit a home run but the big play didn't hurt us as much as the methodical ability to move the chains over those years. I will agree with your defensive comment and add they are always very sound in special teams even in their down years. A couple home run hitters won't win games against good programs. I'm not sold enough on Mt. Vernon to bring them into the conversation yet, even after watching a few of their guys at MFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sold enough on Mt. Vernon to bring them into the conversation yet, even after watching a few of their guys at MFA. I'll take trying to defend methodical over home run hitters any day of the week. Examples - Devon Mockobee, Cole Sigler. I know you probably got a first-hand look at Mockobee last year against Gibson. In the 2019 sectional game, methodical didn't hurt Gibson Southern. Sigler's ability to break big plays late in the game did it.....unless my memory is wrong. Can't speak about the other games with these two programs. I will say that Gibson's inability to defend the run has probably hurt them in some games against HH. And you are right about Mount Vernon...until they prove it, they are not much of a threat. Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jets Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 32 sure knows how to "deflect" any questionable discussion regarding his beloved Titans. In every instance someone has brought up/questioned the D-I transfer, he's moved the discussion in another direction! And maybe that's because there isn't a lot to discuss?? Family move, releasing school had no issue, then done deal. Just curious how that all played out?? Ya know, since a certain basketball player from down South was forced to sit a year for what was deemed as an "athletic transfer" Personally - I could care less...Gibson won't need any help this upcoming year the way it is. They're going to be a monster to deal with. Mt. Vernon has a former Raider running the controls now - won't be too much longer and he'll have them in the mix EVERY year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was negated in the 2019 sectional...our punter kicked to the wrong kid twice in the 4th quarter. That's on us. We also held them to less rushing yards than anyone other than Chatard (I think without checking) that season. You will notice a big difference in games 1 and 2 when we play really good sectional opponents in the regular season first. And....if we hadn't had a kid line up incorrectly on the field goal team...the results might have been different..but again, that's on us.

PantherBall20 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I can confirm that Pike offered the position to a young candidate with ties to the area! I talked to someone who works for the school system today. Unsure if he will accept but it would be exciting to see some young energy infused in the program! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s now Facebook official, as new Head Coach Kelly Brashear is posting from the Pike Central football Facebook page. I’m not sure if this was the name you had heard or not. I assume it isn’t, but did not know. Regardless, best of luck to Coach Brashear and the Chargers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanka Jahari Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 If what I'm told is true, the "twitch" athlete problem at Heritage Hills has been, or is in the process of being solved. It's Christmas in May in Santa Claus, and the Patriots have been gifted a dynamic athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
