The issue has since been resolved and McKenzie has resumed using the Rebel logo. After some details came to light, it never was Ole Miss University that complained in the first place, but rather it was the licensing company that Ole Miss has representing the school.

Yep. it was posted on there on 12/10/08. Oh okay, it might have been a mistake with the original schedule. Lol, you had me scurrying around the website the other night trying to find out where I had on my 3 different schedules TCA playing at McKenzie and couldn't find it. i didnt know you made mistakes lol Lol. I don't make mistakes . I believe I got the schedule just moments after they set it up at the football conference last fall and I'm thinking that the Home/Away stuff hadn't been finalized at the time.

You sure you got that schedule of the mckenziefootball.com site? The TCA game is in Jackson. Yep. it was posted on there on 12/10/08. Oh okay, it might have been a mistake with the original schedule.

So you're saying that good coaching had no impact on Harper developing his talent? Harper was so naturally good that he didn't need a coach? If that's the case, if Trenton has such talented players, who's coaching doesn't really matter. Trenton has a lot of young players, they can't be expected to come out and be superstars like Harper. Give them a year or two and they'll have a very athletic team. There's an old story I was told when I was younger about football from a coach I know. The number of freshman and sophomores you have starting on your team, will be the number of losses you suffer in the season. In many cases, that rule hold rules. Firing a coach when things start to get bad isn't always the right solution.

Coach Scott has been at Trenton for nearly 20 years, and the last few years as head coach am I right? And for those thinking he's the problem, he's a good coach but this year they're having a down year, something he can't control. Trenton may have some good talented Freshman, but they're just that, Freshman, talent doesn't make up for experience when you're a Freshman, but you let those guys grow up and get to be Juniors and Seniors, they'll be a good bunch. But right now, I believe McKenzie will take this one, and will likely determine the final score at will.

Yeah, thats what I was told. One of the coaches also told me that Lexington had a couple of good players that were down with injuries, their starting QB and I think one of their linebackers, both of whom are good athletes, which would have likely made a slight difference in the score. Injuries or not, it's still unusual to score that many points against Lexington if you ask me.

Um, no. McKenzie only graduated 6 players last year and I believe has most of it's linemen from last year returning.

I wasn't aware of a soccer player coming to be the new kicker, but I know Austin McKinney was slated to be the kicker for McKenzie.

Yeah, Max is doing well and has been in the passing league tournaments. There are pictures of him and the other guys in action in my dotPhoto gallery on the website. The Rebels also have a passing league event tonight, roughly 6:30 at the MHS Practice field.

That game was a heck of game, it's a wonder there weren't people there who suffered heart attacks. Yes, Max did play against yall in the playoff game, he wore #12. Here's a picture of him from that game. http://mckenziefootball.com/imgal/details.php?image_id=811 I don't know the exact details, but from my understanding, during the first week Spring practice, I might be mistaken as its been a while since I heard about the incident, but I was thinking Max himself wasn't even exactly sure when he did it or what he did but realized in the days after something wasn't right and he turned out to have a cracked vertebra. Though I'm trying to recall from vague memories, I was thinking it might have happened during the "Oklahoma" style drills they had.

Arnold has a cracked vertebra, not actually a broke neck. Davis is down with a knee injury. Hopefully McKenzie can get over the injuries and are ready for the regular season. Good luck to Dresden, too, hopefully everybody there can stay injury free and come out next season kickin' butt.

McKenzie came out not playing very well and let Lexington run over them the very first drive and they scored. After that, McKenzie kept them contained fairly well and didn't allow them to score again. Eventually McKenzie went down and got a TD with a pass to Clark I think in the corner of the endzone. They ended tied 1-1. I checked in my IE browser and it's working fine for me. Are you still having problems?

It'll be great to get Arnold back after his injury. Hopefully he'll be ready and at full speed come this summer.

http://mckenziefootball.com/?id=schedule/calendar There's a chance it might be moved up and if it is, I'll put it up on the main site ASAP.

I believe it was 2-2, between both Varsities...McKenzie varsity scored 1 against Crocketts 2nd string making it 3-2, then Crocketts 2nd string scored 2 against McKenzie's 2nd string making it 3-4, and McKenzie's 2nd scored 1, overall, it was a 4-4 tie.

I talked to Coach Thomas and he wasn't aware of such a comment being made. I would not have thought Coach Comer would request not to have sign put up just because we didn't win, but I can't say he didn't, all I know is that Coach Thomas hadn't heard that.

Yeah, Practice for the high school started last week. Photos on the site if you wanna check em out. Come to the scrimmage February 27th, 3:30 at Bethel

I assume you're referring to the scrimmages? I'm guessing at the moment, but I figure it will be around 3:30, no later than 4. I'll talk to the coaches and get a definite answer. EDIT: Yeah, it's supposed to start around 3:30

Yes, it's over for now. We have Coach Comer for at least one more season.

Yes, Coach Comer is staying a Rebel.

I believe Spring practice for the Rebels start the 17th and ends March 6th. McKenzie will scrimmage Crockett County on Feb 27th and will end Spring practice on the 6th with a scrimmage against Lexington, both scrimmages at Bethel College Wildcat Stadium

Well, what I can say is that Coach Thomas isn't leaving. Coach Duncan, not that I'm aware of. As for Coach Comer, well Dyersburg will be making their public announcement (I assume in the near future) about who they are going to hire...so let the suspense rise.

From what I've overheard in conversations between people "in the know," it wasn't the administration that was the problem. In fact, I heard there wasn't a problem at all. While there is some dissatisfaction with some things, to say Mr. Ward is or was the cause of Coach Comer potentially leaving, well might I say that's a little absurd. With a small school system like McKenzie, some things are just harder to do than at a place like Dyersburg.

Oh, no worries, I have confidence...and my confidence was reaffirmed after seeing some game film dad brought home but it doesn't hurt to pray for your team /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
