We may never know.

Dickson Co. coach Randy Murphee resigned today.

I don't follow HS football as much as most of you guys, I'm a baseball/softball guy, but I am shocked that Dickson County's head coach is not on this list. Dickson used to have some good teams back in the day. The current head coach's stats from the last 3 years: 5 wins, 26 losses/299 points for and 1075 points against. If that's not enough to get the school to realize it's time to make a change, I'm not sure what ever will???

Late to the game here. Don't get on this site much anymore and this incident just popped back up in my head so I thought I would check here. I see not much has changed. Several have posted that no one is condoning the coach's actions, but several have in a way. The "well, that umpire must have done something" post or the ones talking about the call not being made all year. While those are certainly reasons for a coach getting upset, absolutely nothing gives that coach the right to act the way he did. Nothing. Those statements, are in fact giving a reason for this coach's insane behavior. I have spoken with people that have first hand accounts form both sides of this story. The Haywood coach is 100% in the wrong. He needs to be removed from his position. Period. You cannot have a man that cannot control himself in a position to mold and mentor young men. That was pathetic and the school administration is just as pathetic. The rule should've been called all year, you say? Maybe it was, maybe just some, maybe it never was. But that doesn't really matter either. That coach knows the rule and if he is this great baseball mind that everyone claims, he should have spotted his own player breaking the rule and fixed it. "But officer I've ran that stop sign all summer and not got a ticket!" It don't work that way. That's on him, not that umpire. He is the only one to blame for this situation. He created the fire that led to his players actions. This is high school baseball, his actions have no place here and I do not see how he can be trusted going forward. That is some serious anger issues. I mean, you have to do something like beat my dog to elicit that kind of reaction from me(and most people I associate with). I do not know any umpires in his area, but wonder if they are considering refusing to do his games if the school doesn't take appropriate action. Just a thought. I would bet they are above that and would consider that a punishment to the kids, which are the reason most umpires I know do this crazy job. That's my two cents. I am also curious if there has been any new developments in this story? Latest news I can find is almost a month old.

I think the bracket breakdown threw him off, did me too for a moment. This has got to be the largest area covered for a district in the state. It's got to be a 2+ hour drive from Lewis to Stewart.

Thanks for the updates.

Mt. Juliet Middle School and High School rank the highest, as far as quality of EDUCATION.

Both pitchers come in pitching shut out ball, one small mistake may be the key in this game. I see it being another low scoring affair.

Creek Wood has shocked me making it to State. Happy for those girls, they've earned it. I had been told the Freshman was pitching the majority of the post season. Guess my info was incorrect. The Junior pitcher has really stepped up and showed out. They will have a tough test in the first game. I heard they were playing Chatt Central. They have an excellent pitcher as well. Hope their bats get hot and keep this run going.

Definitely looked like he touched 3rd in the video. He was at least close enough for the umpires to say, "sorry coach, ballgame." That's a crappy way to win and very crappy way to lose such a big game. 4 man crew, why appeal to the plate ump? 3rd base ump is right there, 5 feet away from the bag, that is his call.

Looks like Creek Wood's freshman has, for the most part, lived up to the hype. Waverly got to her in their last meeting. She gets a shot at redemption tomorrow at Waverly. I heard the senior pitcher quit during the season. I hate that. I have no idea what the circumstances were, just hate to see young folks lose their passion for the game and lose the fun and love.

Any of these games been played?

That is really awesome. Kudos to Ray and those boys.

I have not followed this district hardly at all this year, really out of the loop. East Hickman is in 1st place? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ray Ragan take that job after Parker left for greener pastures? Glad to see East finally be competitive after all these years.

Add Dickson County to the list. Coach Tipps left for the boys job at Loretto after two seasons. Cupboard in Dickson was looking a little bare and I believe his son will playing at Loretto next year.
