Come at me violent Were any of those named Keeling? Or did any of those have a Keeling-like track record? We're always quite loaded with athletes, you know it. Keeling will give folks hell with them once he gets his system implemented. What I woulda gave for Keeling to have had Williams, Damien Smith, Tot, Boyd, Malone, and all those cats the last few years. Man.....#2 Williams from last year woulda ran for 2k as a pitchman lol. Tot and Williams as pitchmen the year before? Oooof Oh what could have been. But it's coming. In a couple years, flashes of Tatum from the 90's and early 2000s.

No offense to anyone else but, in my opinion, Gladewater was the most physical team in the district last year and I don't see that part changing. To me, that's what gives them the edge in the district despite the talent level at Tatum and Jefferson being comparable to Gladewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladewater beat us because of 1 dude last year and physicality didn't have nothing to do with it lol. DJ Allen's speed and scrambling ability at QB was the difference. Well, that and our defensive coaches wouldn't get out of 12 yard cushions and they literally 8 hard hitched us to death. Still blows my mind that we didnt press lol. Blew everybody's mind there....even Gladewater's lol. Hell, I woulda kept doing what they were doing as well since we weren't adjusting. But they weren't any more physical than anyone else we played. Honestly, I dunno if it was their coach's pre-game speech lol or if they just wanted us bad but Atlanta probably played us more physical than the other 10 on the schedule. That game ended up be a slobber knocker for 4 quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still give Gladewater the physicality edge based on not only their defense but also their offensive line. To each his own, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwatch Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well I’m not sure keeling is a miracle worker. But I will say that Waskom wasn’t always the most talented team but they always and I mean always had a great plan and won more games than they should have. That’s for sure. Ef had better talent many times and lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ef had better talent many times and lost Keeling and his staff's attention to detail and fundamentals is 2nd to none. It's what makes him the coach that he is and his staff as incredible as they are. That and getting everything out of a player that they can give. It'll make a mediocre team compete.....but when pure athletes cross paths with their attention to fundamentals and his ability to get all a player can give......steam roller. Keeling scored 780 points in 15 games last year. His first state title year he scored 789......in an offense that was created to bridge the gap between non-athletic teams and powerhouses by slowing down the pace and using gimic to confuse defenses. But when stud athletes run the flex....so many opportunities for a homerun play. Can't wait to see what he does in Tatum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This class that just graduated pretty much had all the basketball kids except for Jordan Chambers that played varsity as a freshman at 6'4. 6'4 Hill should be solid next year as well. And coach Bradley's son was Newcomer of the Year last year as a freshman in Cayuga. The whole Varsity has graduated basically.....a lot of holes to fill. But I doubt Keeling struggles to keep them focused on football either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
