Eddie Woods leaving as Melrose football coach

 

John Varlas

 

After reviving the Melrose High football program, Eddie Woods is leaving his alma mater. Woods, a standout on some great Golden Wildcats teams in the mid-1990s, told The Commercial Appeal on Monday that he had accepted the head coaching job at Cane Ridge High near Nashville.

 

“It’s tough because I have a lot of ties at Melrose,†he said. “But I played at Tennessee State for a year and I know Nashville too. “Nashville has grown so much as a city and I think it will be a great place for my kids. And Cane Ridge is a new school; there’s a lot of potential there.â€

 

After an 0-10 season in 2012, Woods led the Golden Wildcats to the 5A playoffs in 2013 and 2014, winning eight games each season.

 

There was no immediate word on Woods’ replacement.

I'm wondering who is going to step up and take the Melrose job. An assistant that's already there or does Cedrick Wilson come home?
