I suspect something like that. There are a lot of things going on behind the scene. You have a principal that is more than likely moving into the Director of Schools slot in March. You have a school board that is in shambles with death threats and all kind of nonsense going on over the textbooks that they have approved. You have a Chairman of the School Board who has a kid on the team, who wants to be a asst coach. And then finally a applicant who is a black stabbing trouble maker who would do whatever to get the job. I talked to a School Board Member today that made it very clear that something was going on with the hire and this person did not want their name associated with the process in any way. That tells me that this was a back channel, 11th hour deal that was strong armed through. Otherwise, if it was such a great hire, as described in the newspaper, why would a board member run from the hiring instead of supporting the decision? Trust me, this has a lot of people seeing red and I would not want to be running for reelection if I were these board members

I did not have anyone in mind. Don't even know who all applied but, there would not be many any worse. What about the Cotten kid that came over from your program? He seemed to do a good job and the players were all in his corner, was my understanding. I don't have a kid in the program now ( thank God). Lowery is just not what you want your kids around when teaching good sportsmanship and trying to mold kids into adults. Ask some of the coaches that he coached against in basketball. Be up 40 or more points in the second half and running a full court press. That's real classy If he was such a good fit, why was he not on staff already? If he was such a great hire, why was he not hired before now?. He had applied several times before. If he was a great visionary, why was he fired from the staff 4 or 5 years ago. If he was such a supporter of the program, why was he not more involved in the program? Why would you take a struggling program and give it to someone with NO head coaching backround? Why a guy near retirement age? These are just questions that i have. It just appears that the fix was in on this one..

This hire was neither expected or welcomed. Why would they hire this guy? He has been fired as an asst. coach multiple times. My son played while he was on staff a few years ago and said that Lowery was a joke and had no business being a coach. He said that Lowery was in charge of calling plays at the JV games and just told the players to call their own plays. I have talked to several people and there is no support for this hire. 15 to 20 of the players said that they will not play for this coach next year. I thought that the White County Program had hit bottom a few years ago and they were on their way back up. Yesterday marks a new bottom for this program. I feel so sorry for these kids!

I hope that LA connection can tilt the scales in White Co. favor a little Friday night!!!!

That's the way it looks me also. Secondary will have to step up!!

Stone can be described as #6 and 10 other guys.

Well this week will tell us a little bit about where the White Co program is. This one is too close to call in my opinion. White Co looks like they have the chance to be a good ball team. Still a long way to go however. They were slow to start against York, but did get it going. The game was never close. Certainly not as close as the score. LA has some speed and a QB that can throw the long ball. Give the line play to White Co. Give the overall speed to LA. I would have to say the White Co defense is a little ahead of LA. QB play would go to LA. Should be a good game.

I have seen the film. You can not use the words "tough" and " Stone" in the same sentence !!

Well, have not been around enough this year to know enough to make a prediction. All I can go on is what I saw last year. Unless there has been some miracle in York country, I don't see York taking this one. I'm sure that based on what I have heard, that the Dragons are much improved, but the gap was so wide between the two that I think White Co has the edge. All I can add is I hope that it's a good game and at the end no player is hurt. Can't wait for kick off!!

Do you really think that White Co,( or Upperman ), put a lot of effort into that jamboree. I'm sure York coaches were sitting there watching? I can't speak for the coach but, I would say that you seen nothing!!!

Yea, it's really more sad than funny. that fact that someone could even type those words is unbelievable. The one major factor that is holding the high school program back, and someone could post that. I only hope it was a joke, but who knows

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING!!!!!!!!!! Nuff said!

What's the word on the Warriors this year. I went by for a few minutes of the Trousdale Co scrim. The part that I saw was pretty much drills. I did see the lines working. White Co looked to be taking care of the Trousdale Line. I was pretty impressed. Trousdale is pretty tough year in and year out. Did anybody see the main part of the scrimmage?

I would like to see it just a bit cooler. It hurts just a little bit worse when three or four Warriors clean you clock play after play. Win or lose, those boys from Cleveland will have no doubt in their minds that they have been in a battle!!

How about a steaming hot cup of smash mouth football?
