The SEC reference isn't as much about consistent success as it is about the parity within the region and how hard it is to make the playoffs. Usually comes down to week 10 for things to be decided. The last few years, teams have been in the situation of winning game 10 and finishing in the top 2 or losing game 10 and not making the playoffs. Agree with the bro being disappointed with CBHS and not wanting to give others credit. Since I am a WSHS alum, I will be pulling for them! Should be interesting to see what happens. I would think WS has the advantage with several returning players from their semi-final team of 2006.

not officially. word is he can't accept the job yet b/c he would lose his severance package from u of m. however, assistants on staff that interviewed have not been told they would/wouldn't be the new head coach.

WORD GOING AROUND IS JOE LEE DUNN

From Ridgeway Aaron Crawford - Texas Tech Josh Jasper - LSU Dasmine Cathey - Memphis Lagrone Shields - Colorado

Word is Joe Lee is getting an interview and may have the inside track simply b/c of his name. Not sure he would be a good hire for Ridgeway, though. As for Randall, he has not applied.....can't get the job if you don't apply. As for the 2002 jamboree....that story stayed in the papers for at least 3 seasons after it happened! They played starters the whole time; ours played one series, then the freshmen played (one of which was mine)! In the end, we would take that 40-0 all over again b/c on December 7, 2002 we won the state championship!!!!! Where was East??? Not in Murfreesboro!

Latest rumor - Joe Lee Dunn has applied for the job.........

As of yesterday, Randall had not applied.

Job just posted last week. Principal says he has already gotten several inquiries. Not sure when the interviews will start....will try to find out. Heard Randall's name mentioned the other day. Interesting...I would think he would have an inside track if interested. He knows the system and has already proven he can relate to the kids in Memphis. Heard during the playoffs some promises made by Munford had not been delivered and he might be looking to move.

Congrats, Chris! It seems like yesterday you were playing SYS ball with David. Time flies. We are proud of you and think you will look GREAT in orange!

Great story!

White Station has earned their way throughout the season and the playoffs just as Ravenwood has. No one expects Ravenwood to "give" WS anything. I am sure players from both teams will leave it all on the field tomorrow night.

get over yourself. we are ridgeway fans but are supporting wshs now as they are the only memphis city school still playing football right now. yes, we failed and are not playing this week but we can still talk about what could have been because we love and support our team. PAPAW was just giving the best comparison he could based on points for/against b/c he has only seen ridgeway play this year. he knows about ravenwood from our semi- game with you last year and probably thought b/c ravenwood was familiar with ridgeway they might be able to decipher something from it. it's great y'all are still playing and your coach and team have done a great job turning their season around. don't know if you are a player or a fan, but a little humility never hurt anyone. very few memphis people get on these boards. if we weren't here talking to you with kwc and traderb, looks like you would only have stuman and maybe one other person to converse with. hope you and all the other ravenwood fans have a safe trip and that the game is injury free and exciting to watch. GO SPARTANS!!! (don't think i've said that since the 80's!)

At least it has words...more than I can say for the fight song of your alma mater!!!!

Yep...I didn't realize this but we were in the locker room last Sunday putting helmets away and Coach said something about the schedule with all the scores on the bulletin board...do you realize that we did not give up more than 7 points in any game this year??????? That is pretty remarkable. As for Ravenwood, I think they got off to a rough start but have peaked at the right time. Their region is a tough one. They lost some good players last year but it sounds like their QB has matured through the season. After the game last week, Coach Wright mentioned maybe trying to play at MUS this week-especially if the weather was going to be bad. Coach Wright is an MUS alum so that might have worked out but I think the psychological factor of playing at the Fairgrounds - and the fact the weather is supposed to be good - outweighed that. I think there will be a lot of people at the game so you better get there early to get a seat! Go White Station! (Come on rhsplaya - you can say it, too!)

Me too, PAPAW. Even I can't convince him. Although he does like Coach Wright...maybe he will come around. We have a few days to work on him...I could even teach him the words to the White Station fight song...somehow, I just don't see it happening - says he doesn't even care to go to the game with us. What's wrong with the boy? (I know, but I can't say it on here!) Onward Spartans, onward Spartans, fight right through that line...
