Talkitup

Do I remember hearing back when Boeck was hired at MC that he use to be at SP?? IF so was he part of the SP football program? That could be an advantage to the Warriors if Boeck know how Vic coaches...just a thought

OP you need another skillet up side your head!!!!

"Injuries, whether accidential or intentionally inflicted, can become permanent crippling ailments for the players. A Pirate player just recently narrowly avoided such an occurance." Are they, (school, doctors and parents) going to let Ty play after his injury??

Glad to hear that Ty is improving. We may talk smack here but deep down we wish the best for everyone and never want to see a kids dreams crushed. May God continue to Bless you Ty and the Robinson family. You have a great support system backing you all the way.

Prayers from the North end of the Valley.. May God continue to work and be the great physician. What exactly happened?

Don't get me wrong I don't mean he's not committed to the HS program, which I am sure he is, just not sure about the start/commitment to the lower levels.

OP you are right, the basketball program can not start in 5/6th grade, it needs to start at the elementary schools. You have to have those that want to work, work, work to get the program started and I don't see that in SP at this time. Maybe the new gym will be an boost to the HS program to get involved but at this time the kids are all about football (as they should be) and then they just make time for basketball. I like Coach Phillips but don't know that he is ready to commit the extra time at the moment. And I can say the same for the other valley schools as well. Go Tigers Hear us roar!!!!!!!

WE'RE FIRED UP AND READY!!!! Gooooooo Tigers I didn't realize that the Barton guy was a teacher.

That's true PurpleGrad. As in alot of schools you have to fill the teaching positions and then see who wants to coach a team. Good luck Coach Thacker...u have our support!!!

Sorry Scara-didn't mean for it to sound like I was posting at or toward you, it is just a general post to all. Someone had posted that Pickett had been hired, I never heard that he was hired just talk that he wanted the job. How does one find out about these job openings?? I know that jobs are posted on the MC School Board website but don't think I ever saw this position was open.

Lets not run him off before he gets a chance to prove himself, everyone deserves that. Best of Luck to the new coaching staff. ButI does make you wonder if there were any other applicants for the position since there seems to be a lack of experiance. Does this mean that all three area teams are being coached by former MC alumni? Is Jasper's coach from Jasper or Chattanooga area??

I have heard around Whitwell that we have a new basketball coach, Heath Thacker. Does anyone know anything about him? All I have heard is that he graduated from MC and played basketball there. Whats the scoop?

Found him...thanks

I am looking for an old friend that played and helped with Giles County Football. Steven Sigmon. I think it was back in the mid 80's that he played and helped in the early 90's. If any of you know Steven and his where abouts I would appreciate a response. Thanks!!

Sorry that I assumed Rodman. But the Lords Army is one of the best to be serving!! Thank you for spreading the word. [ quote name=Rodman15' date='Jun 27 2008 - 06:17 AM' post='826796137] Thanks for the thoughts, but I am not actually working for the US Military. I appreciate those who are, but I am actually just workin in the "Lord's Army" Over here doing mission work. But I do appreciate the comments. And seeing another culture really makes you realize how important an education is. It really needs to be one of our top priorities. But while I am not serving in the military, be thankful to those who are. America really IS the greatest country in the world.
