They did well while Taylor was there because Devron Young and other talented players. The coach there now did well last year without any big name players.

I know Bearden had some good players during that time, but you have to give Taylor some credit. Region 4 3A was tough from top to bottom , especially in 2009 and 2010. And Bearden was winning during that time. Pretty much everyone in that region was competitive. Even Heritage was unusually good in 2009 when they had Michael Cermak. It takes more than good players to win when everyone you play is good.It's obvious that Taylor was doing something right. He only had one bad year, which was 2013 when he resigned.

Taylor was def the right choice here. He's already making changes there by getting rid of some of those coaches on that staff that Kilgore had. They sugar coated by saying Hassell resigned his position. Truth is it didn't take Taylor long to figure out Hassell couldn't coach a middle school team, much less high school. Expect more of the coaches on that staff to be let go. Taylor may never win big at Karns, but I guarantee he has that team competing in a couple of years.

    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
    • Word is Jason Maxwell will be new AD - he is currently head baseball coach. Also heard Roc might be headed to Pope as an assistant coach.
    • you must not know how tssaa operates lol
