From the Tennessean: Brentwood Fires Baseball Coach

Sorry! It was 31-28. Kuivinen for Franklin threw for a lot of yards but threw 4 interceptions. Franklin struggled running the ball but kept trying. Brentwood ran the ball well and got some big plays through the air from Webber.

Brentwood wins it!

In the blink of any eye Franklin responds with an 80 yard TD pass to pull within three points at 31-28.

Brentwood adds a field goal and now leads 31-21 with 8 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.

In a blink of an eye Brentwood responds with a long TD pass to take back the lead 28-21.

Franklin ties the game 21-21 late in the 3rd quarter. They were down 21-7.

Brentwood leads 21-14 at the half.

0-0 after a sloppy 1st quarter. I get the feeling that if Franklin gets it together offensively they're going to win this game.

Please! The coach is gone. Let it die. He was in over his head and was rightfully let go. It's time to move on.

Jesse Gavigan is the shortstop. He's a senior and a pretty good athlete in his own right. Little is a good athlete but based on what I've seen these last two years he's been a bit over-hyped. I'm not saying he isn't a decent high school player but there was a lot of talk about him being better than Indy's Josh Lee and in my opinion he's not even in the same ball park as Lee. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 3rd baseman, Sistrunk (?), move over to shortstop next year with Gavigan gone.

Offensively Franklin wasn't much better last year from what I saw. The difference was their pitching. Falletta is a solid pitcher but he's pretty much all they have this year. Last year they had Colton Robertson, Tyler Harris, Michael Patton, and Joey Falletta. You're going to be more competitive when you have four quality arms instead of one.

Nothing is wrong with the Rebels. They just aren't very good. They aren't a very good hitting team and with the exception of Joey Falletta their pitching staff is average at best. I've seen a lot of players being over-hyped on this team but Falletta should be the player being talked about. For two years I have watched this young man compete on the mound and make life difficult for opposing teams yet he barely gets mentioned. Kind of interesting since he has consistently produced at the varsity level against the better teams, not just the Hillwood's and Hillsboro's of the world.

I haven't heard anything about Franklin being under investigation but I do know that the administration there made a good decision when they hired Frank Glover. He's a good man and he's experienced. Congratulations Frank!

This is a joke right? I've been around this program for a few years now and knew Coach Alumbaugh personally. To suggest that Coach Brown was the disciplinarian is about as laughable as it gets. Brown was the class clown. The guy constantly looking for attention and cracking jokes with the players. Most of which were extremely inappropriate. Maybe that's why you liked him so much? When you become the head coach you don't get to be one of the kids anymore. You're in a position of power and influence and that requires some maturity and humility. Without it things can go south quickly and that is what has happened here. It's time for a change.
