Good luck Grundy, hope y’all can get everything back on track and start winning and compete in our region.

Well it looks like we finally have our football program headed in the right direction. I have heard nothing but good things. I also hear good things are in the works for our baseball program too. I hope it’s true, if it is it’s time to take it to the next level also. Things are finally looking up for the benefit of our children!! Go Big Grundy! 

I’m hearing the new coach up here played for the Vols and the Lions! I hope that’s true our boys deserve this, it’s way past due.

Where are they building this new High school?

No one said anything about building a new one. The building is already there and it’s been used as a high school once before. 

I have a question hoping someone here can answer for me. When this new high school opens soon in Grundy County which gives us two, will we be able to choose which one we want to send our children to or will we be zoned and told which one they have to attend?

Well Coach Ray is no longer in play. Nice job school board throwing a good coach and man away. A man that worked many years for this system and left so he could teach and coach where his son was going to attend high school. He has always loved Grundy County and was willing to come back (we all know it wasn't because of the money) to help bring pride and leadership to the football team that needs it so badly. After all the bull that has been pulled by many people, you'll get what you've asked for. The only ones I feel sorry for are the players and good families that will lose out on having good man leading the program. Yes I'm upset that my friend didn't get the job, but more that I'm upset at the many people that lied to him and supposedly were his friends. You guys have to live with what you've done. One thing I'm happy about is, I get to be his assistant when golf season begins again. 4 of 5 starters returning after a 6th place finish last year at state in Class AAA. Go Raiders!

Chs4life I would love for you to elaborate on who it was who all promised Coach Ray this job and who lied to him? I think the public here needs to know. Can you please clear this up for us?

The brother didn't make the move last night. Board member Reuben Newsome went against the advice of the school board attorney and wanted to open up the application process again. By the way they never took a vote to do so. They just moved on. 

This way of thinking from the brother is the reason this previous coach was hired. This is also the reason we are In the situations we are now and our programs been in shambles because of this ever since. We haven’t had leadership and discipline here for quite sometime. These mistakes have been made several times in all our schools and our sports programs. My opinion Is the house needs cleaned. That’s everyone in high places with a title beside their name. The whole mindset has to change here for the things to get better for our children in this county. Our children should always be our top priority in every decision that’s ever made in this school system. Some here have seemed to have lost that true focus.

So let me see if I understand...they went through this process of identifying two candidates, interviewed them...before a live audience...and then decided not to hire either one?  Seriously?  

Let me see if I can clear this up for you. It’s not They ( the board) that went through this process of identifying the two candidates. It’s the Director of schools brother that’s on the board that’s done this process. If I’m wrong here someone please correct me.

volsrock, you might need to inform Scott Smith to take his name out of the ruining then.

He might be the new head coach at Grundy County’s second high school in Tracy. 

On another note. I’m just curious to how much longer it’s gonna be before they open up the New Highschool (the old gchs) in Tracy City?  Any one know?

Sad situation in GC.  There's a dozen young coaches and some older ones within 60 miles that would be willing to commute or relocate that would be a good fit at GC.  These gentlemen could certainly turn things around because they're innovative, know how to work with, and get the most out of the talent they have.  They are, most importantly, good dudes, and love football.  BUT, they're smart.  They won't dawn the doors of GC's admin building knowing that it's a dumpster fire in the making.  What a shame it is that the powers that be are so h3llbent on status quo.   Just goes to show you what complacency and apathy produces.   

Your right. The whole central office and the whole system is nothing but a dumpster fire! Just saying

Not good news covering the concessions deposits 

Missing money that a board member ( the superintendents brother) is involved in? So now the plot thickens even more. What ALL has been going on up here and who all that could be involved in it? At this point nothing surprises me anymore. 

I’m curious to know how the head coach position has been posted on the schools webpage and all that’s been reported by the superintendent and the news channels is that he has been suspended during the investigation. 

I heard a board member that’s a family member of the superintendent has promised it to someone already. But hey, who knows. 

Coach Caine and Sequatchie Co. players and fans proved again what a class act program they have in Dunlap. I would hope if the rolls were reversed that we would have acted the same way.

unbelievable!!

Well not really, it’s Grundy. 

I found it very disturbing that the community and board were more worried about playing those last two games more than they were the safety and well being of the children.

Seriously A Hoax, The Kids shot video of it. If the Grundy Co Sheriffs Department has that video these boys just ruined their own lives. And You Sir are a terrible human being. 

 

"Yeah, Johnny we are trying to get people fired.  So Me and 4 other of your friends are going to put a Broom handle up your Butt"  Those kids deserve to be put away

I’m pretty sure he’s a previous coach who was accused of missing funds in his program and then resigned. Just another something that was pushed under the rug and covered up by administration. 

I hear they are delivering the statue Monday morning.

Surely not, Bama!

Nothing would surprise me here anymore. Our children are not top priority here and haven't been in a long time.

Bottom line......Tate needs to resign (like today)

Then which coach would be the best fit to finish out the year?

Barger, Brewer, Jones, Meeks, Romans, Brown, or McNeese?

With the way things have been here recently, it will probably be one of the two you mentioned in the earlier post with the same last name.

Dude do you have a job cause you are on here 24/7 lol.

It sounds to me like he's speaking a lot of truth and stepping on some toes. I would just love to hear EVERYTHING he knows. 

Bledsoe by as many as they want. 

They need to be focused on winning ball games instead of worrying about what kids are gonna leave next, and who their gonna get in trouble next. Spend your time trying to figure out how to beat Bledsoe rather than worrying about what's being said on the message boards. Your right this whole place is a joke.

 Jnutz2, I played ball at Marion when y'all played at Grundy. You and you're  brother was outstanding ball players.Bring them boys to Marion. Go talk with the principle or vice principle and just see what they have to look forward to. We drive 20 miles one way to give my kids the best option in the area to make there lives a successfull one. My oldest son is in his 3rd year at Marion and is an honor student and has been to the big show in Cookeville 2 years and hopefully this will be 3 in a row for him.  He has accomplished things by being a part of a winning team that some kids will never get to enjoy or understand . I made the decision several years to drive from grundy to marion to give them this opportunity and it was the best thing me and my wife ever did for them.  The boys are very appreciative of it. Some of there best friends still go to Grundy and my boys say all the time it's sad that there friends don't get to experience what they get to experience every day. 

Very well said and very true. Some people are starting to get their belly full. You valley teams  will start getting some little by little.

Not at all. Some of our fans were yelling at Yorks coach that he hurt one on purpose. Blame our head coach because those kids are not physically nor mentally ready in one week. 

He's just trying to get a win to get the heat off him. Anyone should know better than to give those boys all those reps after them not even playing football in 2-3 years. I thought I seen him on the sideline a few minutes ago with Nick Saban giving him some pointers.
