When you open a can of worms, get ready for the "fertilization" to start.

TSSAA Hall of Fame Category: Coach Birth: October 6, 1937 Teacher/Coach 31 years (Lebanon HS)...coached football, baseball, basketball, and golf...won 500 games in basketball...made 3 TSSAA State Basketball Tournament appearances (1969, 1972, 1985)...served as a TSSAA official for 44 years...named the Tennessean Mid-State Basketball Coach of the Year 3 times...the gymnasium floor at Lebanon High School is named the ???Hester Gibbs Court???in his honor.

Marshall and Dillard did coach together at Lebanon during the late 80's and early 90's under Coach Medley. Dillard followed Medley as the head coach at Lebanon for 4 years. Marshall left for Smyrna during those years and took over the Lebanon job after Dillard.

Best I can remember Oakland did finish 2nd in 90, the post Clinic Bowl years. Lebanon beat Oakland that year 14 - 0 in week 8 at MTSU. This would have been one of Rankin's first years at Riverdale, possibly finishing 4-6 that year.

Did Oakland even go to the playoffs in the 90's as a 7AAA representative? 90 Champion Lebanon and Runner-up Oakland??? 91 Champion Riverdale and Runner-up Lebanon 92 Champion Riverdale and Runner-up Lebanon 93 Region play begins

Lady Devils struggle early scoring 5 points in the first quarter and ZERO in the 2nd quarter. Lebanon trailed by 20 something points at one point in the game. However, they go on to score 49 in the 2nd half, out scoring Lincoln County's 46 total points for the game. Best of luck to the girls as they play Lawrence County Monday night.

Delaney suspended: then Sparta could be similar to that Siegel team.

Icelyn will return while older sister London leaves the starting rotation.

Winning a region tournament game would be significant for this team. Winning two region tournament games would be extremely special, and that does not happen very often for most teams.

Who was it that scored the late touchdown in 1984 Championship? (only Championship of school and is not a legend????) How come I keep hearing that story 23 years later.....legends come from history retold over and over.

But being the Defensive Coordinator on the Trousdale County Football State Champions couldn't hurt..... As for Sallis holding the starting job..... look at what happened when he didn't start, then what he did during the middle of the game when he returned to his role. Realistically, Lebanon should not win this game as a 4th seed at a very special place, but this team is capable of beating teams they shouldn't.

Lebanon Blue Devils ....a possibility I'm sure that a potential second round opponent would love to see them again!

Mark Medley is the Principal at Gordonsville Elementary. He currently is the offensive coordinator for the Gordonsville High School football team. The head coach is one of his former players/coaches/& successor at Lebanon, Bob Dillard.

I would venture to say that LHS has thrown the fade route on less than 50% of their attempts. Last year, maybe, they threw that route more. Watching the games this year, I doubt that you will find a better situation than the past few weeks at QB....what a competitor. Time and time again Sallis has led the team to do what it takes to maintain possession of the ball in critical times either by running, scrambling, or throwing the ball. To say that a QB change is needed......speaks volumes for your opinion......Sallis is a winner. The next QB will be exciting as well.....very similar to what Sallis did in the Smyrna game I would say. Good luck to both in the future.
