Roy Dillard the Warrior football team asked me to thank you for the Fudge Rounds that you dropped off in the office today at MCHS. I was impressed with your generosity in purchasing the giant ones. It may give us the extra energy to win that Gold ball..awful sweet of you. Also, that Murphy man called this week..he's a really nice man and it was a pleasure to talk to him. I told him that I read a lot about him and his friend Roy Dillard on this site...it got real quiet and we lost connection. I guess he got busy or something. Anyway, thanks for the Fudge Rounds.

Wanted to let everyone know that Ms Kennedy Griffith is HOME!!!! She came in Wednesday and is doing great! She told Mark she is just glad to be home and in her bed. Contiune to pray for her and the family. Sometime after her birthday she will be starting 24 weeks of cemo. God is good...all the time!

Welcome Coach Tony Long to Marion County High School!

Please continue to lift Kennedy, Mark and the entire family up in prayer. As of late last night the surgery schedule for today had been postponed once again due to her levels being low. Kennedy is a remarkable young lady who has faced more trials and tribulations at such a young age than some of us as adults will ever face but still continues to keep her faith strong in our Savior.

Glad to see that us Warrior supporters have been missed...some of us have been busy with work and family but keeping up with the Warriors without the need to post it here. This season could go either way. We are young and as usual there is always room for improvement. No matter the season, I will be there supporting my kids.

With the weather postponing so many games across the state this year, will everyone try to fit them in over the next two weeks? It would be nice if TSSAA would extend the regular season for one more week so that many schools are not playing 4-5 games a week.

Marion County defeated Grundy Thursday night in double overtime 70-68. Good game by both teams with lots of fan interaction. Officials did a good job of letting the boys play the game. Hope everyone made it home safely with minimal/no hail damage...

Yep sounds like the same CCS we played.....and maybe the same officals..

Good Job SC....Indian..Was CCS a physical team tonight? how many charges were called ...I think MC had 45 called against us the night we played them...lol

Don't know about growth but I think you are already seeing it in the Jasper Elementary school. I think they have around 700+ kids, take into account when people send some of their kids to jasper middle school from SP and you could have over 800. You are right TTp..we are busting at the seams in JES with approx 750 kids in the school and no empty rooms to make new classes..heck Cookie and Charlie have had to give up closet space to make room for teaching areas. If this continues I am afraid we might be looking at zoning in the near future..folks might want to start making that move now. Some one posted that the numbers were down at MCHS...if they are it can't be by much..most classes have between 25-30 per class and some are exceeding 30. I am concered about JMS and if they will be able to hold all these kids that will be headed that way in 2011. And you know my feelings about the consolidation issue..

Go Bucs!!!

YES IN 2011. Marion and Whitwell . SP is left out ? They will be 3A or 4A Somebody better find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! lol...

Don't worry Roy these boys started getting ready for this game when they stepped off the bus at midnight last Friday night. From talking to some of the boys its been a good week of pratice. Coach B and the staff will have these young men focused and ready to play the Bucs.

Dig deep, and play hard all 4qtrs!!! You can do this!!

WARRIORS WIN..WARRIORS WIN

I won't be able to make this game, the little ones arm is still hurtin', so someone keep me updated back here in MARION COUNTY. Lets win this one for Jackie! Good luck to night Warriors!! It's not quite time for basketball season just yet...play hard and know we are all beind you 100%.

If you wanna watch the Warriors then come on up AFTER your game is over on Thursday..Warriors game has been moved to Thursday at 7....

Let practice begin!!!!!

Good Luck Warriors....Someone keep me updated..don't think I can make the game tonight! Hold on to the ball!!!!GO WARRIORS GO!!!!

Congratulations go out to Cody...I have enjoyed watching him grow from that little scrawny boy into one long tall drink of water. MT might have been more convenient for everyone but nothing can compare to getting to play against the likes of Duke, Clemson and Wake. BigJ..not sure what happened to the offer at UTC but the deal with MT was a little ugly in the end and from all the talk MT coach may not even be around after this year..but as we all know, everything happens for a reason. Now that the big decision has been made Cody can focus on his Senior year. Your right Boss.. Cody is a good kid and we wish him nothing but the best and success at Greensboro. And you are more than welcome to travel to G'boro with the Big Philly, my self and the little Philly's, we plan on taking alot of road trips!

The staff that is in place at marion has nothing to do with the leadership issues on this years team. It is on the seniors, the staff has put the team in the proper places to succeed. I bet they have set a record with fumbles this year if that was a stat that they kept, and the coaches can't make them hold on to the ball. I will excuse your jealousy since the coach that was up there before couldn't make anything out of that program. Just fell in line just like the many before him Jealousy? I never wanted him in the first place and that's documented. Why on earth would I be jealous of you having him back. My point was just the fact that I didn't see anything wrong with Marion's staff last year. A staff that took the team on it's first playoff run in years. I don't understand why you would mess with that. But then again I'm no guru. And since you've got him back I let you figure it out. DL. Good Luck Warriors!!!! As posted by others..this years team is lacking in leadership and hands..we have to hold on to the ball to win games. Bundle up and lets go! Ahhh....This is football weather!!

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

Chief, I am sorry to hear about the Grundy player. What a tragedy. I will remember the family and the Grundy community in my prayers. Thank you for bring this to my attention.

We did have a moment of silence Friday night, right after the National Anthem was played, just like we do every Friday. In our moment of silence Friday night we did take that time to remember one of our avid supporters who had just passed away. Did something happen to a Grundy player that we were suppose to be aware of? And this isn't fantasy football...trading players isn't allowed...well, not in the valley anyway.
