Lebanon is playing at Station Camp Tuesday night. Thank goodness SC has a tarp. The two teams will play in Lebanon Wendesday, weather permitting. LHS dropped a 5-3 decision at home to Cookeville Monday night, as the Cavs scored twice in the top of the sixth.

I'm looking for game times for Lebanon High soccer. I know they play their home matches at the Airport Complex, but I'm having a rough time figuring out the starting times? Anyone know for sure?

Station Camp's concession stand receives a solid "thumbs up".

Saturday scores from the Station Camp pool: Nashville Overton comes from behind to defeat Lebanon 10-9; Clarksville NE 13, Lebanon 9.

Thursday night Dickson County scored five times in the first for a 5-0 victory over Lebanon (9-12).

Fine coach and a good guy. Will HC promote from within or look outside?

Mt. Juliet pounds out 14 hits and beats Beech 5-1 at Mt. Juliet. MJ at Centennial Friday night. Non-district game at Lebanon's Veterans Field finds Lebanon over Warren County 13-3. Junior RHP Dent Burger with the win, Jessep Polk with a 3-run homer for LHS. Lebanon at crosstown Friendship Christian Friday at 7 p.m. LHS goes to Cookeville Saturday for a 2 p.m. game.

Looking for a good QB / WR boarding camp this summer for high school age players. Suggestions, past experience, that sort of thing would be much appreciated.

Saturday games at MTCS -- Coffee County 4, Lebanon 3 in 8 innings. Wind was blowing dead in from CF and every flyball was an adventure. Second game: Coffee County 7, MTCS 3. Third game: Lebanon 5, MTCS 0. Antonio Logue and Jack McKeon combine for a shutout. Case Sloan with a two-run homer.

Two games at Veterans Field in Lebanon Friday night. Dickson County no-hit MTCS 10-0. The second game of the night, Lebanon came from behind and defeated Dickson County 7-6 in 10 innings. DH Rob Bell had the game-winning RBI for LHS, scoring pinch runner Taylor Bryan from third with two out on a long drive to the base of the wall in left center. Chase Slone got the decision in relief.

Lebanon defeated Beech 2-1 Tuesday night at Veterans Field as RHP Cain Sloan went the distance for the win. 9th grader Eddie McDaniels with the game-winning RBI in the bottom of the sixth. LHS is scheduled to host Gallatin High Wednesday night.

Crane was a part-time asst. at Cumberland on two different occassions. He is / was on the faculty at Wilson Central and also helped with boys basketball.

First and Goal -- you've raised a very good point.

66in74 you've done your homework. I stand corrected. PS -- look for an announcement from LHS soon, perhaps within hours.

Glade Mom -- not meant as a knock against Dedman. But guys with head coaching experience backed away from that opening a year ago, just like now at LHS.

I just did a quick check of Wilco (Williamson County) 5A/6A schools Brentwood, Ravenwood, Franklin and Centennial from the 2010 season. It looks like these four went a combined 3-7 vs. teams from Sumner and Rutherford -- all teams with a designated athletic period. Please check my math, I was in a hurry, but the numbers don't appear to indicate these 4 "do just fine" when going head-to-head against teams that lift during the regular school day. IMO it's a big deal when the people you play on a regular basis can lift during the regular school day and you don't. The kids get to go home sooner, have more time to study or work part-time jobs. The off-season is even more important, because the underclassmen (those who might not yet drive) can lift during the day, then go home on the bus after school. It's certainly more attractive to the coaches, who can get home at a decent hour.

Well put!

There's a sizable gap between the pay for experienced teachers and coaches in Sumner / Rutherford and Wilson County. Starting pay is pretty close, but once you get up around 8-10 years, the difference is serious (roughly $8,000 a year). This hurt Wilson Central's coaching search a year ago and it looks to be doing the same at LHS. New school set to open in the fall of 2012, the addition of advanced PE for in-season lifting, a solid junior class -- all these things are great, but until the pay issue is addressed, Wilson County is spinning its wheels.

The kids are in the weight room four days a week with assistant coaches Lawrence, Lounsbury, Robb and Ferrell. They'll only have one more off-season in that weight room with the new school coming in the fall of 2012.

Interviews began today.

I'm not from West TN, but have family there. They've spoken highly of McKenzie's program. What do they do on defense, 50 front or an even front? Offense that sort of thing. The coach has apparently been there for several years, sound like he's got things going.
