I don't think it will have the success they hope for.... Big aspirations for a tournament not enough support! Good Luck though... Biggest event ever in NW TN??? doubt it!

Wow.... So sensitive to words, witty posts, and so sensitive to rain!

This was only the 2nd time in school history the Rebels accomplished this. Under Coach Jackson, the Rebels also led the Conference in passing and total offense. 2011 - Initiated the 1st Annual Ross Shelton " Be an 11" Scholarship Award in which four OCCHS football seniors are awarded football scholarships to aid in futhering their scholastic careers. 2001 - 2011 - sent almost 40 kids to college on football scholarships during his coaching career. WHY DID YOU BECOME A FOOTBALL COACH? My high school career was bad to say the least. In truth, I just wanted to go back to Hayti and right the wrong. I never really thought about winning and losing. My gratification comes from seeing kids do well. I know it sounds cliche', but I just wanted to make a change in kid's lives. So far, I have loved every minute of it. WHO HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR COACHING CAREER? Matt Eberflus of the Cleveland Browns trusted me; Barry Odom of the University of Missouri befriended me, and Rick Jones of Greenwood High School taught me. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT? Coaching my brother Derek to a state championship in baseball is one of my fondest achievements. I think sending almost 40 players to college on football scholarships is one of the things that I am most proud of. That said, I think my biggest contribution has been my offensive philosophy and how many schools it has touched over the years. As we speak, Lindenwood University, Upper Iowa University, McMurry College, and several high schools in Missouri have been very successful on a national and high school level running it. WORDS TO MY PLAYERS: "In this life, you are either the hammer or anvil." Words to opposing Coaches - If there is more then a 25% chance of rain I will cancel the game. I will hammer you, and will be bush league if I have too!

Keep telling yourself that. to justify Your Coaches weak decision

rumor now game is postponed due to a 30% chance of rain.... Weak!

Disgrace to all that have played the game, looking for an easy out when things don't go your way... football is also a game of life ... So coach teach your kids how to rise up and tackle what life throws your way

I agree with you... West Tn might talk this biggest game though

The Guy is just calling like it is....why do you have to be soo sensitive

Can somebody please post the playoff picture for 4A I have no clue, and would like to see what it looks like

how do the trojans stack up against... GIBSON Co and RIPLEY??? quote name='SonOfMandingo' timestamp='1318179171' post='2696619'] Looking for the Trojans to be 7-2 rolling into Rebel County here in a couple of weeks. Any thoughts?

thats a new concept, I have never heard that before... must be the reason for OC's success this year....Gosh your coaches are genius

True Statement well stated

hang in there tomcats.... it is always tough to go through transitions, give the new coach time to get the kids and the community to buy into his system.... It will work... haywood is young on offense if the new coach doesn't get fired and forced out by the fair weather fans and community he will have them running the system to "T" and it will be productive.. haywood has always had a plethora of athletes and the spread is all about getting them in space... give it time and you guys will be a force to deal with. Go suppport your coach and your boys.... Keep fighting.

You are right about the trojans getting work done against teams they are supposed to beat..... wait ....... they were picked to finish last this year in a few polls.... so they have recently been getting a little bit of respect because of how they are handling those teams like a good team should, with goose-eggs on the board, and held covington to 8 points i believe going into the fourth quarter. I wouldn't say they are legit contender yet, but they have impressed me but if they are going to make a run.. they still have a way to go, need to work on their offense a bit, but defense and special teams are looking good.

Tough lost for the tigers last week, time to get the momentum rolling before the playoffs[ quote name=District12AA' timestamp='1317491986' post='2690632] How will the Tigers bounce back from a bad week of football? I think Trevor runs for 200 plus yards against Summitt. Young guys will get a lot of work in the 2nd half. Coach T lets right the ship.
