[RunItUpTheGut]

I coached against some of Coach fox's teams in the early 2000's and I can say they were very good-we beat them once out of 4 games. I agree with run it up the gut-that the Whitley teams of past were much better than the current version.

You are correct Meatloaf. The middle school had a VERY good team in the early 00s. That was back when Ladale Rider and those boys were growing up and i believe they had around 60 players on the 8th grade team alone that year. If all of those kids would have stuck with with threw high school, that would have been one of the best high school teams to ever come out of the mountains. My little brother was on that team is the reason i know this and he stuck with it, however most of them did not.
And, that year, Whitley beat Bell twice, badly both times. The only team that really gave them a challenge was Mboro who Whitley beat by a TD, the rest were blowouts, and most teams didnt even score on them.
I remember Knox North and Knox South both forfeitted at halftime against them and so did 1 or 2 others but i cant remember who. Undefeated that year and so was the 7th grade that year.
