  1. Lenoir City HS has a new assistant Girls Basketball Coach, Elijah Harris. They have played preseason tourney, 1 regular game, and in another tourney now... They are 4-1. Coach Harris was part of the Lady Vols practice team, and had the privilege of being coached by Pat Summitt, so watch for him to imitate her style of coaching. Young man with a bright future... teaches Math.
  2. Thanks for South-Doyle updates! GO KEES!
  3. Thanks citicotim! Keep the updates coming on the South Doyle game!!!! GO KEES!
  4. Was it really on the news? I haven't seen it. Or are you just expecting it?
  5. It's true. Today's News-Sentinel has the story.
  6. That is correct, redandblack63. The administrators can access and change any students grades. The report cards are mailed home and the teacher would never know unless it was brought to their attention. If this was done it will be documented on the computer. This grade program documents who was logged on and what was done and when. So there will be clear evidence if a grade was changed.
  7. Can anyone who was there last night tell us what actually happened? What was the nature of Coach Pearl's complaints? Did he sound threatening? Foul language? I'm just really surprised at this given the way most fans yell at a referee on a regular basis. Anyone??
  8. Any predictions for South Doyle at West???

  11. I think you're right about several players with talent. I think there may be a depth problem. The new coaches need some time to get their system in place. It is regretable that the team didn't log the win against Science Hill. They should have won that game, and they would have developed some confidence that is desparately needed when a program has lost several games in a row.
  12. The paint job at SD is a team effort. I watched the whole coaching staff put the spears in the end zones. The project seemed to be headed up by the artistic assistant coach Charlie Brentz. Yes, Coach Sanders does a great job.
  13. Obviously I cannot answer why a person was hired. I have no knowledge at all of his former situations and have only judged him by the time I have known him. Having seen him interact with both administrations- I don't believe the others were intimidated and the new ones swear they had nothing to do with it- that it came from downtown. Again- I don't defend any wrongdoings, I just know there were lots of positive aspects that no one is interested in hearing. Swafford has always been "a character" and to some extent it was "part of a show" that got the kids fired up. I disagree with the use of bad language, etc., but I know he is not alone in that respect. I also know how hurt he and his family are by all this and wish him only the best in the future. Will it involve coaching? Who knows... If the records and things are as bad as people say, maybe not. Judging from his South Doyle experience only- I would say yes.
  14. This issue is so much more complicated than good coach/bad coach. Jim Swafford was not perfect by any means, but he truly did have a love for the kids. You can laugh at that and say it isn't true but you weren't there day in and day out. Any one of you could have moments taken out of your life and displayed for the public that would make you look bad. I'm not taking up for the things Jim did and said that were wrong- but he was trying to do better. Regardless of whether they should have let him go- the way it went down was unfair. Friday afternoon at 3:00 is no time to tell a team they have no head coach, especially since the deciding factor happened at summer camp. The coach that has taken over is a wonderful man. He is struggling with discipline mostly with Seniors because of their love for Swafford. He himself is a friend of Swafford's and has been put in a very tough spot. Aside from all that- you have the regular "football" problems in that S/D has no good blocking that pretty much cripples their offense. It's really time to stop slamming Swafford and wish him well with whatever his future holds. He has a tremendous amount of football knowledge and a love for kids. Hopefully he will learn from his mistakes and make someone a great coach.
