What happens with these "County Players of the Year" is they spread the joy around, so not to hurt anyone's feelings. Think back to last year. If not mistaken, Coach Ballard wins Greeneville's, Greene County's, Upper East Tennessee's first State Championship and who get's coach of the year? Ben Murphy. Granted CDHS had a great year, but Coach Murphy over a coach that won his first, school's first, region's first state championship in football? I also believe that Ballard won it the year before. I still believe that Ballard should have been Coach of the year. Do we not give a team a title just because the won it the year before? I think not. Now I would say I'd rather have the gold ball on the shelf then an award of "Coach of the Year." Just a thought.
