[Number One Fan]

The last two years they have been very good in middle school ball. This past fall they went 9-2, losing to Williamsburg in the championship. They beat Bell, Whitley, and Cumberland to name a few. The year before, they won their conference, beating Williamsburg in the championship. For whatever that's worth.

The Williams kid was the best player on the field every game. He will truly be special.

I think you are exactly right. This kid needs this and he needs support from what I here. I hope he blows that field up. I wasn't sure about middle school, I never watch them. But I thought they were good, just didn't want to say anything out of turn. I did hear talk about the Williams kid and the Carroll kid being really good. Like I said, Middlesboro will be back and I don't think things will be as bad as what everyone assumes. Give Massengill time, get players disciplined and demand they respect and play for each other.

Above all else build character in these young men. There is a time and a season for everything. Play ball Jackets and keep your heads held high...You are a tradition no matter what you win or lose and you will be remembered.
