Coach Taylor is @ his dream job --said that several times when he was at Cocke County. He played at Clinton for his Dad. He is a Dragon and will remain a Dragon. He will NOT be the coach @JCHS.

If PHATCAT is correct and the Dragons are 3rd then Casey Taylor should be the Coach of the Year. Cocke County baseball would love to have Coach Taylor back. Good Luck to the Dargons. John Rice old Hurricane is the second best coach in Dist 3. Come back to Mo East John.

Former Cocke County coach Casey Taylor has done a remarkable job with Clinton this year. Shoud be the Coach of the Year. Not sure but think that they are 3.

We can not get an article about the baseball or softball standings. But in the Monday News Sentinel our PREPXTRA beat writer has written up Carson Newman Golf. Congratulations on the promotion.

NOT Charlie Mitchell (AE) I said Mitch Mitchell (CHS Ast. used to be @ Lenior City/Carter)

Drove to College Square Mall (careful with the red light camera) bought a Knoxville News Sentinel for the PREPXTRA. Shocked that there was no listing of the district standings. It is the end of the regular season. Sure there are some tight races and no standings. If I had a computer I would check the standings on line.

The next coach at Central will be Mitch Mitchell. He is now the ast coach to Coach Mercer. He did a great job at Lenior City and set the stage for Buell at Carter. There is little doubt that Coach Mercer will be the next boys coach at Powell and the John Fisher will be the next girls coach at Powell. Back to the S-D job, lets make a list Rodney Nelson connected to south knox, experienced,proven track record Coach Darden connected to south knox, experienced ,proven track record Rick Sinard no connection to south knox,experienced,proven track record (great sucess in the 90's) Young guys ast coach from West (Sticks) in the knox system, college connections middle school coach from S-D middle knows the community Tony Scott worked for Hutch,worked for stomper must like working with coaches that wear cowboys boots HA HA add to the list and list positives

Wes Edmonds for Mike Driver @ Farragut. ScottA makes a great point about the money crunch.

SouthKnoxPrince The job at S-D just got alot better. Leaving District 4 and joining the IMAC. No more Bearden, Farragut, Maryville, William Blount now they face Cherokee, Cocke County, Mo East, JCHS, Sevier County, Seymour, Morristown West.. Greeneville is dropping to AA. 2009-2010 East will be the heavy favorite (depending on who the new coach is) but after that is is wide open and BAD !!!!

AD Calvin Decker (great basketball coach Cherokee & Mo East) & Prin. Gary Johnson both want a coach that will be there for 10 years or more. They do not want to go through this hiring process every couple of years. That has happened too often @ East. Whoever is hired will have to prove they are going to stay. Mr. Johnson wants this to be the last basketball coach that he has to hire. The question is do you want a proven head coach with a long track record or a young up and coming coach. If you look TSSAA the request is for : EXPERIENCE, MATURITY, knowledge of the game, high morals, leadership ability, disciplinarian and a desire to win. Does not sound like they are looking for a young coach. Sounds like when they wrote the job description they had Coach Billy Ray Duncan in mind. If they can not find the right man for the job look for coach Decker to take the job back for a year or 2. He is not going to allow this program that he built to fall apart. Does anybody remember where this program was after the Morrisson era. 1 Bill Duncan 2 Rick Sinard 3 Jeremy Parrott 4 Tony Scott (yes I do rememeber when he helped Stomper)

Sounds like a guy that may not stay for the rebuild. The west JV coach may be a 2 year and done type coach. S-D needs someone willing to stay for a long process.

Saw Central play in Morristown and in shock that they are leading the conference. Did not look like a very good team. Central 3-L's Oak Ridge 4-L's Powell 4-L's Halls 5-L's Karns Clinton West Hardin Valley Campbell County Does this look correct ??

Greeneville City pays better than Morristown, but in order to get a great coach - funds suddenly become available.

Could be the JV coach @ Knox West. He has great knowledge and is well connected-played @ Karns

Anyone have updated standings ???

The earlier leader is former JCHS coach Rick Sinard. His teams always play hard. Had great success @ JCHS in the 90's. JCHS principal and S-D AD Clark Duncan are long time friends.

BILLY RAY DUNCAN upset that Greeneville moved down in classification bitter that his players were suspended for the district tournament native of Cocke County has dominated the district close enough that he can maintain his recruiting connections can win immediately. This job is made for Coach Duncan. Rick Sinard if Coach Duncan is not interested Sinard is the 2nd choice Derek Creech Walters State Ast. played at Mo East for Coach Cranford Tracy Beets ast Mo West former head coach @ West Greeene WILDCARD former East coach now in GA Mike "Stomper" Duffie Last East coach to make substate. This is what they say at the Hardees in White Pine. Good Luck to Coach Wright

Did not see the game but will guarantee that Coach O would not kick a former player (Coach Matt Mercer) when they are down.

Each school has 3 paid positions head coach JV freshman Either JV/FR can be non faculty 3 paid spots --everything else is volunteer

You can be a 'non faculty' coach but you must be on the coaching staff not a volunter. "non faculty freshman coach" OR "non faculty JV coach POWELL freshman 'non faculty 'coach Dinkins JV coach Roberts- TEACHER BEARDEN JV 'non faculty' coach Barnes freshman coach Carter TEACHER hope this helps

It is Mid-Jan and we finally get a PREPXTRA BASKETBALL started MID-Nov. The key to getting more HS coverage is smaller print. Some teams have reported 1 game some report 15. Paper will blame ccoach. Only list those reporting 8 games or more and why would a coach send in stats to a paper that has not ran stats and it is MID jan. Not only no SPECIAL SECTION but nothing mentioned on the front of the paper to look for PREP (less)TRA.

Great job with the evaluation/observation Ladyredfan Would love to see a write up like that on all the IMAC teams.

According to THE KNOXVILLE NEWS SENTINEL Bradley Central is now in the Powell district "Powell remains unbeaten in District 3-AAA" I am frustrted with the lack of coverage and the miscoverage. A terrible prep lesstra basketball preview. *listed 10 biggest games of the year how many of the 10 will get covered Maryville/Bearden 2 weeks ago no coverage.

Karns This year defense is better than offense.
