I have seen Westmoreland girls play every year since Stacia Blackwell Dean was coach and all through the Stivers-Abner era. I have absolutely no dog in this hunt and I can tell you this year's team is not as talented as years past. It is what it is. Your best "post" is about 5'3". She plays really hard and fouls a lot, but she is still short. The taller girl is no threat to score. Guards do not shoot near as well as past years. The team as a whole is undersized quite a bit. They still play hard but the ball pressure is not the same as in the past. I have no idea what your local boy coach is like on a daily basis. Maybe he is arrogant, maybe not. He didn't give that impression the two games I saw. I DO know that he is a homer in a small town and that goes a long way. Fan 15, you hit the nail on the head.

Under current guidelines, Catholic will be d2AAA in football and D2 AA in everything else.

VanBuren is one of the poorest counties in the state. It sits on top of a hill. There is not a lot of flat land around suitable for the school to purchase for a field location. There is nowhere around the school for sure. Plus football requires a lot of continuous funding. The county simply doesn't have it. Not much "industry" or anything else in VanBuren. Most work outside of the county.

He is a homer. He will be fine. He and Abner have different coaching styles for sure, but no crime in that. Talent level seems down to me, but I have only seen them twice.

What did he quit for? Middle of your senior year?

Cheatham didn't make it. 2003 was the year that White House dropped down from 9AAA to AA. They came in 8th in 9AAA in 2002.

State bound? If White House is losing to Greenbrier you don't have any Region teams. When was the last time a team from this group made the state tournament?

Also the TSSAA has nothing to do with hiring and firing of officials. That is done by your local officiating association. TSSAA uses what is brought to them.

Every referee association is hiring. Why don't you sign up? There is an extreme shortage of refs over the entire state. You get what is available.

Pretty sure Molly is saying they will not have any players at Cannon if the coach returns.

12 days since you posted. Not sure how you think that is not a week, but whatever.

Been almost 2 weeks.....................

Hope they can find whatever it is they are looking for.

They need more than that. I have seen Greenbrier, Heritage and Sycamore so far and none are a threat for the region. Is White House that much above everyone else? Could be a complete sweep by 10 AA.

Steve Williams at Overton is a class act. I don't think this admin wants that apparently.

Already has. I had to text the AD from the chains this year when the sideline ref wanted a fan removed.

Congrats PC. Dennis has done a great job with as little depth as ya'll have. Ought to be a good one.

Sycamore is going to have a long painful year.

50% attrition is completely normal over 3 years with today's teens. You have kids who all think they are going pro as freshmen. As the years go by many figure out they are not and just quit because they don't want to "ride the bench". Others decide getting a job/car is more important to them. Any time you have what is basically a "no cut" roster, you are going to have a high rate of attrition. Brentwood having 40 seniors is quite out of the ordianry for sure. Look around. There are many schools, even 1000+ student populations, that are lucky to dress 50 kids total.

Mt. Juliet Golden Bear and the Mount Juliet Team is still out of it. BAM

John WIld makes his Franklin coaching debut at East Nashville tonight.

I am all for that. And yes MJGB, after further review you guys are still out of it.

They also struggled with a 3-7 Stratford team. So what. Every matchup is different.

MJGoldenBear, just wanted to make sure you knew that Mount Juliet's season is still over with. Didn't want you sitting out there at the stadium tonight by yourself.

It has been that way for at least 15 years. Very few kids that lived around Hillwood actually went there when I was there.
