First off, a new coach isn't going to have any more success than the current one if the school system doesn't get some kind of middle school feeder system in place - and that works at both BI and Liberty County.

And that means hiring middle school coaches who will run the same offense and defense used at Bradwell and Liberty; it means finding middle school coaches who will employ the same terminology used at Bradwell and Liberty; it means getting kids into strength training before they get to high school, not after.

You mention Camden County. Good call. The Wildcat program is successful for several reasons.
1. Jeff Herron is a good coach. He's won state titles at two schools.
2. They're the only high school in a fast growing county and have the largest talent pool on the coast.
3. They have a middle school feeder system that runs Herron's system. In fact, they take it a step farther.
Go to http://camdenfootball.tripod.com/id11.ht... and note that middle school coaches in Camden County are considered a part of the high school staff.

Every successful high school program I'm aware of has in place a middle school feeder system. It should be obvious why that's important, since kids get a two-year head start on learning the varsity system and that cuts down on time HS coaches have to spend reinventing the wheel every fall, teaching freshmen everything from how to wear pads to getting into a 3-point stance.
Let's face it. It's kind of hard to teach the finer points of offense when you're constantly having to reteach Football 101.

Why is BI able to win so much during the regular season? Because the Savannah schools are worse off than anyone in the state. No feeder system, inexperienced, underpaid coaches, etc.
But the Tigers' (and Liberty's) inability to compete against higher competition is largely due to the fact there is no feeder system in place in the Liberty County school system.

Now, if you want to run a coach out of town because he's not winning, that's one thing. Coaching is a tough job and when you don't win you get replaced.

But coaches in this area (and I include some in surrounding counties) have long had the deck stacked against them at the state level because of the lack of a middle school feeder system.

And please understand I'm not bashing middle school coaches. But there needs to be priority on getting these kids ready for high school football, if that's what they want.
If not, then the worst that will happen is they don't move on and play at the next level.
If so, then they'll be ahead of the game when they get to high school and the team will experience more success.

Besides, when's the last time you saw a middle school football player get a scholarship offer?

You got to it before I did. Good Job JW. BTW the offense that BI runs can be seen every Saturday @ GA TECH. Sportsfan, you sir, are an idiot.

Greetings BI Backer,

I rarely watch Georgia Tech Football. I am a Georgia Bulldog Sports Fan. Georgia Tech has had their fair share of unsuccessful seasons as well. Their football program too are below average. The Georgia Bulldogs are contenders. And if their Coach does not win, they are fired. Ga Tech is a great school for higher education. If you understood the concept in sports, you would agree with what I am saying. They too (Georgia Tech ) have fired coaches in the past for unsuccessful performances.

Look, I'm not here to bash Bradwell Institute's Coach, but facts are facts. Since you are studying what Georgia Tech does, take a look at Bradwell Institute Football right there in the County you probably reside in.

I stand on my word about the below average of success the team has become. So don't comment, and agree in making excuses as to why the Bradwell Institute Tigers Football Team are not successful. Bottom line is that right now they are not.

Since you are are Bradwell Institute Backer, then common sense should tell you to assist the coaches in finding a way into getting Bradwell Institute Tigers football back into a Contender. It's apparent that you don't have a grasp of understanding, and the importance of winning football games.

You should know that this goes far beyond having fun in School Sports. This Sports program is big business. Lets make it simple: Football Games generates huge sums of cash for the School, not only to the school but the County, the School Board etc.

Winning football games gain fans. Fans patrons the school, and attend games. Funds made from the games goes to the aforementioned. Losing seasons loses fans, and money generated. Football Budgets are less than what it would be than if the teams wins.

In other words, you WIN you get more money to your School, and to the Program. And about the kids? Well the team gets the exposure through the media, and the kids get are offered scholarships for higher education.

The better the program, the better the equipment, and resources, allocated to the budget. I hope you have a better understanding now BIBACKER.

Greetings JW,

This response will be in two parts because of the length. In response to your comment, I am not speaking of any other football program other than the Bradwell Institute Tigers. I can clearly see, and recognize the fact that Liberty County High School is a fairly new School with the entire Sports Program Being very young. They would need a chance to grow.

If Liberty County High School had a winning tradition as the Bradwell Institute Tigers Football Team had at one time, then I would comment about them as well. But the facts are that they don't.

You mentionedin your narrative "A NEW COACH". Isn't the current Head Coach at Bradwell Institute Coach Walsh? Coach Walsh is not new to the School. If I am wrong then I very much apologize for all the comments I have been making. But I believe that Coach Walsh has been there for a several years now.

It seems as if you know the concept of building a sports program by breaking down drawing up the blue prints, analyzing, and constructing one. You mention how Region 3-AAAAA power Camden County build their program. If that is true, wouldn't a Prudent Vigilant Coach who want to win, and have a successful program would want mimick just that? If what you say, and BI Backer agrees with you is true, I would start with the Middle School, and give the Middle School Coaches the Blue Prints to began the construction of new Players such as fundamentals, strength, speed, and etc.

By what you are saying in your comment, and I respect that coming from you, if I was the Head Coach, I would go over to the middle schools, and work closely with the Middle School Coaches, and develop a program on the same system I am running so that that when the Kids come over to the 9th grade, they will have the concept understood, and would be ready to play.

It seems as if you have had this on your mind for a long time. For some reason, I believe deep down inside your inner soul, you agree with me on my points. After reading your comments, I surely do. However; my question again, is why is the Head Coach not doing this? Is he there for a paycheck? If so, then let him teach P.E. or Driver Education. Bring in a New Coach that is willing to do what it takes to win.

You asked me "DO I WANT TO RUN A COACH OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE HE IS NOT WINNING"? My answer is no. Because no team stays on top forever. Look at Valdosta High School. They were at one time a Football Power. At one time, Number one in the Nation. But they are no longer the team to beat. It's Lowndes County High School this day, and time. Experienced players graduate, and move on to college. Younger players will have to play against more experienced players, and may lose because of inexperience. But to constantly have the Tigers lose in the same fashion every year since Coach Walsh has taken over, is unacceptable. continued.

Continued from my previous response to JW.

You know JW, there is an old saying that you could lead a horse to water but you can't make the horse drink it. Well I am pretty sure that Bradwell has a lot of talented football players on that team. It's just seems that Coach Walsh does not know what it takes to get those players to play better.

Your last question JW is when was the last time I have seen a middle school football player get a scholarship offer? The answer is that I have seen a middle school football player get a scholarship. It was to go to a private school, and he played football while he was there.

Lastly If Coach Walsh thinks that he has the plays to win a football game, then he is not doing a very good job developing his players. Liberty County has a lot of talent out there for sports. He has to find it, and again do what it takes to win. Thank you for your comment JW.

BIBACKER, good to know I've got some company. The usual reaction to first-round playoff losses, etc., has been to call for the coach's head - and quite frankly, that does a disservice to the coaches who work at both BI and Liberty County.

Sportsfan, if you really want to see winning football in Liberty County, start by telling the school board you want them to establish a true middle school feeder system (and not just for football, but for all sports), then give it time to work.

Sportsfan31313 you are an IDIOT. You obviously have no knowledge of Football.

1. You compare Bradwell of today to Bradwell of old. Stop, Bradwell of old pulled players from the entire county. Bradwell today only pulls from half the county. Also, if you remember correctly the players of the Clifford Johnson years came from Riceboro and Midway. Look at the Scholarships that were given during that time period. If I am correct does not Riceboro and Midway go to Liberty Co. High?

2. To make yourself sound like you know the game you mention ideas for the current staff. Those ideas you have mentioned are older than the ones that Bradwell currently uses.

3. You also mentioned Bradwell has a lot of athletes. Who? Names like Stewart, Gross, Blassingame, and Lewis They were all Divison 1 players! Bradwell does not have any Divison 1 players playing for them currently. I Sir have lived in this county for a very long time, and for you to make statements that you have made shows you do not know what you are talking about.

4. The last thing I would like to mention is the fact that Bradwell needs to change the offense; you must go to Bradwell's practices often to know the personnel to suggest the schemes that would be suitable. I doubt you have ever been to a practice and if you had it would not have been many. Players dictate schemes. Unlike College and Pros where you go out and get players, High School you pay with what shows up. You better get into something that is simple that can be used year to year (feeder system was mentioned earlier, the teams that are at the top of all classifications uses feeder systems Liberty Co BOE will not allow it.).

So in closing sir what you think you know and what you really know are two entirely different things.

I almost forgot, you talked about gate money, and donations, how much money have you donated to the program?

Lions it's apparent that you didn't read my comment in it's entirety. Please go back and read it again.

Greetings Lions,

In response to your last comment, you don't know what I know Sir. I now recognize your species of character. For you to begin name bashing is indicative of your level of intelligence, and lack of higher education.

What I am commenting about are facts. If you had taken the time to read my comments in it's entirety, you would get a better understanding.

Yes I am comparing today's Bradwell to the old Bradwell. It's because they were better, and they played with heart. They were better disciplined. If I can remember, they have beaten Camden County at least once. Those players had the extreme desire to win, and they did with the direction of a good Head Coach. Today, Bradwell Football Team does not possess those type of qualities.

Regardless there was only one school in the County, and now there are two. The talent that Bradwell have today should be playing better than what they are doing. If I am not mistaken, Bradwell had gotten beaten by Houston County High School, and there are at least three high schools there.

Lets see: You have Warner Robbins High School, You have Northside Warner Robbins High School, and you have Houston County High School. Warner Robbins High School has numerours Championships, Northside Warner Robbins High School are defending AAAA State Champions, and You Have Houston County High School.

You also have Valdosta High School who was a perennial power at one time Winning numerous State Titles, Region Titles, and South Georgia Championships under The Legendary Coach Bazemore, and then later Coach Nick Hyder. There were times when Valdosta High School were Number One in the United States in Football according USA Today. Now you have Lowndes County (Valdosta, Ga) who are Class 1-AAAAA Defending State Football Champions. They have more than one school in the County so that sounds like an excuse Sir.

Lets stop the Division 1 talent that the old Bradwell possess. That sounds like another excuse from you. I used the names of Blassingame, Lewis, Gross, and Stewart, as an example. In today's Bradwell, you have the same type of talent on the team today as they did in previous years. Do I need to name those players as well?

Lions, they are a lot of per-say Division 1 talent on that squad, and I believe that the coach is not pushing them to the level of superior excellence that they possess to win games.

To be continued on the next comment......

Continued from the previous comment:

Now you are mentioning me commenting about offense. I was using that as an example, and saying that the plays they are using are old relics. I also said that the Coach may need to go to a Camp to learn new offensive and defensive systems. I also stated that they need to learn new trick plays so if a team shuts down your running game, and passing game, you could use trick plays. Did you remember reading that?

It's neither here nor there on whether I saw Bradwell practice or not Lions. The fact remains is that the Team is playing below average football, and that is the Coaches fault. PERIOD!!!!!!! What I think and what I know is irrevelant here Lions. Lets just go with what I know. I know that the Bradwell Institute Tigers has the talent, and can play better football but they are not.

There is an old saying that if your Child can't read or write, that is your Mother's fault. If you child can't read or write because they don't have electricity for lights or gas, then that your father's fault.

Now these Players have the talent to be Great Football Players, and the Coach is not pushing those players to their potential. So that is the head Coach's fault.

Now in your last sentence you asked me how much money have I donated to the program. Your answer: ABOUT AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE!!!!! Which is nothing.

In closing, It is written, "ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU". Well they get not, because they asked not.

SF31313, What schemes do the Tigers run on O and D? Can you explain to us why they are no good and let us know what they should run?

Also, Google past perfect tense.

BIBACKER,

Are you a coach?

BIBACKER,

Why are you asking me what schemes do the tigers run on Offense and defense? You are missing the point. Bottom Line is with all of the great talent that are on the Tigers Football Team, they should playing better.

I have explained this my previous comments.

JW,

Are you a Coach For Liberty County School?

Ok BIBAKER,

I see where you are going with this, but I am not going to go there with you. Bottom line is that The Tigers has to do better in winning, and if you are a Bradwell Institute Football Coach, you need to do better as well.

BIBACKER,

By the way, I know that Bradwell Institute runs the Wing T Offense.

Greetings JW,

How are you? You never stated whether you were a Coach at Liberty County High School. Are you? Anyway, what are your assessment of tonight's game?

I wish the Liberty Panthers the very best tonight on their travel to West Laurens High School.They are a pretty good team.

If Bradwell plays the way they should play, this should be a blow out. they should sore at least 56 points. What do you think?

I don't check this board often enough, apparently.

SportsFan, I'm not only not a coach, but I'm smart enough to know I'm not a coach - if you get my drift.

Excuse the triple negative (or whatever I just wrote). Been a long day. I'm going home.

Cheers to all and good luck to BI and LCHS.

Hey JW,

LOL, I like your assessment. That was a good win for Liberty County last night. West Laurens High School has a pretty good football team. The Panthers went there, and took care of Business. I fore see a good future for the Panthers. They have a tough schedule this year to include the Thompson High School Bulldogs.

They are always a tough teams Liberty County High School Panthers Football Team play against. You Have McIntosh Academy who also a great football team. You have Washington County who has been good over the years. Effingham County give you guys a tough game too.

You still have a tough football team in Baldwin County that you have yet to prepare for. But it is good that you all are playing against those caliber of teams. Liberty County indeed have a strong strength of schedule.

During my years at Bradwell, we played against some of those teams in our Region. Such as Thompson High School, and they would beat us as well. We have beaten them too, but I believe they hold more wins against us than we do against them.

We played Effingham County but we have had successful wins against them every year. We never played McIntosh Academy, but we played Glynn Academy, and we beat them .

Bradwell have Played Baldwin County in the first round of the playoffs years ago, and convincingly beat them during the John Stewart days. So JW, there is some credence to your team, and schedule. My hats goes off to them on a win against a pretty good West Laurens High School Football team.

As for Bradwell Institute, they had a expected successful victory over Region 3-AAAAA Windsor Forest Knights. It was expected for them to easily win that game. My predictions was that they would score at least 50 points against them, but I was a point short.

Bradwell Institute play against Savannah High School this coming Friday. They should score at least 40 points against them.

There should be no problem with them winning out over the remaining Savannah Schools Football Teams such as Beach High School, and Johnson High School. They should have no problem scoring at least forty points against either of those schools with victories.

But their True Test will be against Region 3-AAAAA Power Camden County. I hope that Coach Walsh strategically get that Tiger Football Team Ready for a very tough game. In addition, keep those players healthy. The Tiger Football team have the ability to win over Camden County.

Lets get the wins over the Savannah Teams first, and then get physically, and mentally prepared for the toughest game of this 2008 Season.

JW, are they tough enough? What do you think?

Dude, everyone one here has clowned you. Get a clue.

BIBACKER,

Who cares? It seems as if I have your attention along with your so called "EVERYONE HERE". I'm only speaking facts. So again, read my comments. If I am so wrong, then prove it to me. Everything I stated in my comments are true.

So I got under your thin skin BIBACKER. If you want to shut me up, then Beat Camden County. I hope your clowning on me will help the BRADWELL TIGERS Win a Region Championship, and go past the first round of the playoffs. But I doubt that you are a coach because coaches does not respond the way you do.

Let's Really See If The Bradwell Institute Tigers Football Team are Contenders. Or Are They Just Simply Pretenders? As I stated earlier in a previous comment to JW, The Tigers should have no problem winning out the remaining season with the non contending Savannah Teams such as Beach High School, and Johnson High School. Now if Bradwell do by chance lose against either of the two, or both teams, then it just strengthens my facts.

Let's put up or shut up. Prove me wrong. Beat Camden County, win the Region 3-AAAAA Championship, and win at least the first round of the playoffs, and I will take my hat off to you. Until then, BIBACKER I only see you in support for Pretenders. Now "DUDE", do you have a clue?

Have you sent your application to the BOE? Sounds like you have all the answers. I bet you'd get it done with some of those trick plays.

BIBACKER,

No, I will leave it all up to you Perinnial Coach. I think you have enough tricks of your own. Good Luck on using your book of tricks against Camden County. (If there good enough)

Perinnial?? there??? I do have many tricks....and treats.

I support BI. Who do you support?

Please, please re-read JW's and Lion's comments. So far it is 3 people who disagree with you. Haven't read one "Yeah, Sportsfan, you are right!" comment. Hmmmm....

Thanks for leaving it up to me. That will be all. You are dismissed.

Hey BIBACKER,

I have ALL of the comments in it's entirety. Your question is who do I support? I support Bradwell Institute. I ALWAYS have. I did'nt accept their earlier in the season performances ie Glynn Academy at home, and Houston County. Thats all I am saying. In earlier comments I said that the team has talents. In fact, lots of it. I also said that they were not playing to their potential. I asked are they Contenders? Or are they Pretenders?

I also mentioned in past comments that they had gotten beat by non contending schools, and they should not have. Right now this very minute, the Bradwell Institute Tigers Football team should have been 6-0 and 3-0 in Region 3-AAAAA.

Come on, lets face it BIBACKER, you know deep down that Bradwell should be 6-0 right now. My facts remain the same that Bradwell should win out the remaining Schools in Savannah. I also said that there true test will come on the last game of the schedule when Region 3-AAAAA Perinnial Power Camden County comes to Hinesville to play against them.

Now my question to you BIBACKER, does the Tigers Football team have what it takes to protect this Town from a very Powerful Camden County Wildcats Football team. Right now, they are looking to run the gamut on their remaining games looking past Bradwell, capturing the Region 3-AAAAA Title again, and on to the 1st round of the playoffs.

I have always been a Bradwell Fan. But sometimes average is not good enough. Losing in the first round is not good enough. Almost making the playoffs does not get it. Almost going to the State finals does not get it. In other words, ALMOST KILLED BIRD DOES NOT MAKE GREAT SOUP!!!!

Maybe three people disagrees with me, but the facts remain the same. You said that I am dismissed. The fact is if Bradwell doesn't beat Camden County, then their Region Championship hopes are dismissed. I'm sure you don't want that. Unless you are just satisified with being average. Right now Camden County has an A game. Bradwell was playing a C game. They have elevated up to a B game. But a B game will not beat Camden County.

FYI- Camden stomps EVERYONE. I guess Hoover, AL; Columbia County, FL and Norcross are all Prentenders.

You are not Blogging to your potential. You are a pretender. You should be fired.

Dumby- they are 3-0 in the region. ????Should be????

Why do you want to tell people what they "feel deep down", "the facts remain the same" and "you know I am right"? Your opinion is like my DEEP belly button. It stinks. You have had 2 people smarter than I disagree with you. You might be just a LITTLE off base.

Protect this town? Really... Highschool football...really...the days of 65 are long gone.

One last thing- I am a vegan. I eat no animals or animal bi-products. Killed bird soup is not on my diet. Soy bird soup is much healthier and good for our environment.

Can't wait to read your next blog.

Toodles,

BIBACKER

BIBACKER,

Camden County Stops everyone........ Is this an excuse for Bradwell not winning before hand? Are you already preparing yourself for Bradwell to lose? What a man with no confidence in self. Again, Camden County stops everyone. Well that is not a true statement. Camden County is a very good team. They have a State Title won in recent years.

But they didn't win it last year. Lowndes County High School did. Look, Camden County can be beaten. I believe that Bradwell Institute can be the team to do it. But they are going to have to man up, step up to the plate, and show them that Bradwell Institute Tigers are a good football team as well, and they just as much heart as as they do. If not, they will have problems beating them.

So what you just stated is incorrect. (Not Factual) Those Schools you listed Hoover Alabama has only one lost and that was against Camden who handed them a pretty good beating on their own turf. That school (Hoover) was not use to the Wing T offense that Camden County runs. I believe that Hoover runs a spread offense. But that was their only lost for the season.

However; Lake City, Florida Columbia High School Tiger Football Team are 3-3, and The Norcross High School Blue Devils are 4-2 in their respective Regions. Camden County can be beaten. It will take a team with talent and confidence in themselves to beat them.

Now, does Bradwell have talent? I would say yes and lots of it. Are they playing up to their potential? I would say no. Are they playing with lots of confidence? I don't know. Only time will tell.

Dumby? I don't know what you are trying to say BIBACKER. Or are you trying to spell Dummy? I don't know. But I mentioned in my previous comments that Bradwell are 3-0 in the Region, and they should have been 6-0 and 3-0 overall this far in the season instead of 4-2.

You asked why do I want to tell people what they feel deep down? It's because I can BIBACKER. I don't really know exactly your level of intelligence BIBACKER, but if you say that there are two people smarter than you in this blog, then sobeit. The protecting of the town is a figure of speech. A metaphor. Since you don't understand the hints, I will from now on comment to you in laymens terms.

The fact that you think that my opinion is like your deep belly button, and it stinks is no accord in my book. But since you have a Hygene problem, pour some peroxide inside that deep belly button to get the dirt, and crud out. It may be infected there which is currently demonstrating your lack in ability to reason. It's infecting your brain BIBACKER.

Okay you are a vegetarian. I think that is what you were trying to say. If so, well good for you. When I made the comment of ALMOST KILLED BIRD DOES NOT MAKE GOOD SOUP, it too was a figure of speech. I just have to speak in laymens terms with you since you don't have a clue. Now since I have your attention BIBACKER, I look forward to your next comment.

I am a vegan. Google it.

Camden runs the wing-t but Bradwell shouldn't???

In regards to my belly button- From now on you will NEVER talk about my belly button. It is off limits for this discussion. I apoligize for bringing it up.

You never addressed the point I made about your blogging. You are a Pretender Blogger and I, BIBACKER, am the Contender. You should be fired for not blogging to your potential.

Job 11:12

BIBACKER,

Look, I'm sorry if I offended you. That is not my intention in no way or form. Look, I am enjoying your comments, and I welcome what you have to comment about. We can agree to disagree.

I am a Bradwell Institute Fan, but in my opinion, I just don't believe that they are really playing up to their potential. I want the Tigers to win that Region 3-AAAAA Region Championship that have eluded the Bradwell Institute Tigers Football far too long.

Again, I believe that Bradwell Football team has a lot of talent. Probably more than you could ever imagine. I believe that the Tiger Football team can dominate the Region if they play up to their potential. I just take exception to it when they lose against non contending teams that they lost to this year.

Glynn Academy for example are not a bad team. They are just not a better team than Bradwell Institute. You have seen over the years that Bradwell Institute have beaten both Brunswick, and Glynn Academy. If you look at the losses that Glynn Academy acquired this season, you would say to yourself that Bradwell didn't play up to their potential.

In a comment earlier in the season, Coach Walsh didn't think that the Tigers played well against Glynn Academy. He also talked about the penalties, and turnovers in that game that cost them. I must say that Bradwell has no Business losing in their own Den. Bradwell can not allow a school such as Glynn Academy come into their Domain, and take over their territory.

Next lost came when they played Houston County, and they lose in the last quarter of the game against an average team. They should have won that game as well. Now they are winning games and they are improving as the season draws near, but in order to beat a Camden County team, The Tiger has to play a very fast pace, get a jump on them early in the scoring, and play a very physical game against them.

Camden County has the reputation now that Bradwell use to have. Bradwell has to get back into contention. Just winning your Region Games against the non contending Savannah Schools, and go undefeated in your Sub Region does not make you a great team of contention. Yes it may get you into the 1st round of the play offs, but as soon as you meet your opponent in the first round, you get stomped. Bradwell doesn't need that.

Remember when Bradwell use to be ranked in the top 10 in the State? (Atlanta Journal Constitution Polls). If Bradwell beats Camden County, they will definitely be Ranked in there.

Now as far as me being a Pretender Blogger BIBACKER, that is your opinion. My comments are factual which makes it contending. But I will accept your humor of me being fired for being a pretender.

To be continued to the next comment page.....

My question to you is will Bradwell be contending when they play Camden County? Or will they be just like you? PRETENDING?

You make the Poll BIBACKER.

BRADWELL INSTITUTE AGAINST CAMDEN COUNTY. HOW WILL BRADWELL PLAY?

CONTENDER__________ PRETENDER_________

Again BIBACKER, I apologize for the belly button joke.

From JW

Hey sportsfan I think they may be tough enough, but as I've always said - they operate at a disadvantage due to the lack of a feeder system. Camden, which is a state power, not a coastal power, has a feeder system. It also has the luxury of being the only school in a county loaded with talent. At some point, Camden's advantages will wear everyone in Region 3AAAAA slap out and have made the team one of the very best in the state. It's not a coincidence that Bradwell's football fortunes started slipping in the early 1990s when Liberty County High School opened. I think BI can overcome that if and when they figure out that a feeder system is necessary. Have a good one JW

Hey JW,

I hear you. But do you think all of the talent or most of the talent resided in the school zone of Liberty County High School?

I do agree with you that Bradwell Institute may be tough enough. My assessment is that they are probably not playing up to their potential. Bradwell Institute has a lot of talent. And in a past comment from Lions, I would disagree that Bradwell does not have Division 1 caliber of players these days. I believe that they do have Division 1 players.

I believe that those players are not playing with enough intensity, and heart to be the kind of team that they should be.

While you say that Camden County is a State Power, (and boy do I agree) I believe that Bradwell has the same capablity to be the same. ( A State Power) They just have to apply themselves. Bradwell is going to have fight fire with fire when playing Camden County. If Camden County is physical, then Bradwell Institute has to be physical. If Camden County is fast, then Bradwell Institute has to be faster.

Those players are going to have to play without fear, and play physical and hard with their heart. Those players are going to have to help each other out there. If any team has the talent, and ability to beat Camden County, I would say that it would be Bradwell Institute.

The Coach is going to have find a way to get that Team properly motivated. he is going to have to find innovative ways for the Offense to control the line of scrimmage, have their defense shut down their running game, keep the penalties down, and Bradwell defense not allow Camden County many First downs.

With that happening, I would guarantee you JW, in addition to aforementioned, if Bradwell hold Camden County under 100 yards of rushing, and Bradwell scores on every drive they have, they will definitely Beat Camden County. I really believe that they can do it with all the above factors put into place.

Enjoy tonight's game.

To BIBACKER, and JW

**Anyone out here can tell me about the Bradwell Institute Tigers Football Team in Region 3-AAAAA.

Are they a Contender? Or A Pretender?**

Bradwell Institute would not make the playoffs in any Class AAAAA region in the state except for 3-AAAAA. Bradwell would go 0-8 in Region 1-AAAAA.

You can tell that to the people down there in Hinseville.

SportsFan31313 I believe you have already been beat by a bottom rung team in 1-AAAAA. Remember Hoston Co.? They are hoping to win their first 1AAAAA game tonight. Gamer actually Slalom and I have been thinking about retirement now that we have been put into the Holcomb Blog Hall of Fame. :-) Back to Sportsfan31313 whose Bradwell team is 1 win and 2 losses outside of region play and against teams with a combined record of 6 wins and 13 losses. The only team outside of region play Bradwell has beaten is Wayne Cty. and they are 0-6. I don’t see those numbers as worthy to be trying to hang onto Camden’s coat tails. Yes Camden is from 3-AAAAA, but then who else? Another comparison for you and another bottom rung 1-AAAAA team would be you beat Wayne Cty. 28-13 while Colquit beat them 38-0. Colquit too is without a win in 1-AAAAA. Like Todd said I think you should stay put where you are and get ready to exit the playoffs very quickly.

Hey By Yo,

You maybe right about the losses. But I do believe that Bradwell can beat some of the Schools in Region 1-AAAAA.

You mention Schools that we lost against a bottom Rung Team, Houston County. Well a few of our starters were injured and have since then, have Routed the remaining Schools on the Schedule.

Who cares if Colquitt County Beat a Team we beat (Wayne County) 38 -0. Teams plays other Teams differently. Especially if there is a Rival there. Lowndes Conty is Number 1 in the State which is in Region 1-AAAAA.

But I bet they wont sleep on Valdosta in Region 1-AAAAA or Camden County in Region 3-AAAAA. It should be noted that we have played Coffee County and have beaten them before, but I will admit that they were at one time in region 3-AAAAA. The Teams to beat were Coffee County, Camden County and Bradwell Instiutue.

You asked what teams outside of Region 3-AAAAA have Bradwell Institute have beaten besides Wayne County? The answer is none. That is because we are playing our Regions Games now. Bradwell Insitiute is Undefeated in The Region being 4-0 and 5-2 overall.

I take exception to you and Todd Holcomb as well as the fans here in Hinesville. Bradwell will make the Playoffs this year, and I hope that it is against one of your favorite Bottom Rung teams in Region 1-AAAAA that you think could beat Bradwell. We will show you and Todd otherwise.

Next, you all continue to advertise some of those Atlanta Suburban Atlanta teams, that are heavily over rated. If they werein Region 3-AAAAA they would get beaten by Bradwell Institute. So, we are calling you out.

To Eric a Bradwell Tigers Fan it is good to see someone from Bradwell get a little cocky for a change, even if it will be short lived. Unfortunately for you the bottom rung teams of 1AAAAA don’t make the playoffs. Fortunately for you 3AAAAA doesn’t play 1AAAAA until the second round of the playoffs this year. If you should come in 2nd in your region this year, which you probably will. Certainly no higher (Camden). You will be seeing the #3 seed from Region 4 in the first round of the playoffs. Fortunately for you, other than Newnan, that is not the most highly regarded region in the state. Unfortunately for you they are more highly regarded than your region. Should you be fortunate to win that game (I strongly have my doubts) the unfortunate fact for you is you will most likely be staring Lowndes straight in the face in the second round. We are licking our chops. After the first round of the playoffs when your region (what little is left of it-Camden) gets to take on 1AAAAA (I anticipate all of it being left) you will then get to show up or put up. Unfortuantely for you it will not be against 1AAAAA bottom rung teams. Can you say Lowndes, Northside High School, Coffee, Tift Co. with a very slight possibility of Warner or Valdosta in place of 2 of those first 4 mentioned? I would say at this point it looks like the bottom rung teams of 1AAAAA will be Valdosta, Warner, HoCo and Colquit Cty. You don’t want any of that “either and be glad they aren’t in your region.
