Coach Jones has been Ricky Norris's assistant at Oak Ridge and Webb. He teaches math at Oak Ridge. My friend who coaches told me that this is a quality hire. That's all I can go by and he is correct the majority of the time.

Assistant Coach at Webb.

Wes Jones

I won't argue with any of your points. Don't think it will be local unless Coach Bertram gets a chance. Lots of coaches but Coach King has been there nine or ten years. i agree it is a big hire since Harriman has had to hire two basketball coaches.

You are correct on most of your points. In fact all of them probably except for one. Davis from Wartburg was not offered the job. I can assure you that did not happen. You are very knowlegable and no offense taken.

Not at liberty to say, but will come from a pool of three good coaches.

Interviews have been concluded. Coach will NOT come from this group. (Unless something drastic happens).

One name out of the above four is correct.

Think Harriman decided he was not a good fit from what I heard.

Joe Layne / Wartburg

Other than in Region 2 Grace is ineligible for tournament play this year and next. Knox Christian is not playing basketball this year. Rejoins District 3A next year.

Heard through the grapevine that Coach Jones has a problem with remembering who he scheduled for next two years. Put Rockwood and Boyd-Buchanan in a bind by agreeing to play then backing out after signing contracts with two other schools. Obviously needs a planner or a concsious.

Saw them play this summer at Chattanooga Team Camp. Very talented squad. Footballers got frustrated and started taking a few cheap shots at their opponents. If they control emotions they have a chance to have a good year in basketball also. If they don't, they will be in foul trouble in big games.

I predict more to come. Story not dead............

Referring to a previous post, Rockwood and Harriman are not dropping Grace in football. Have two year contracts in football. Have to play all teams in region for playoff seeding purposes. Rockwood, Harriman and Greenback are not playing Grace in basketball. Do not have to play all teams in your district for basketball. Especially one that is ineligible for post season. But again Rockwood and Harriman will play Grace in football. Do not think you will see a protest in the form of a forfeit.
