We almost slid off page one. Bump

Agree, time to get the man involved that closed the biggest deal in Blount County history with a big name coaching hire. Call Coach Ridge!!

The process of hiring a coach should have been over by now. Has someone entered the process and screwed it up? Is there concerns the new baseball guy may affect the other sport at Maryville? A saboteur in action? Thoughts marvillians?

For sure top 4

I agree about HV. Surprised they have not done better but are very talented. Heritage has a pitcher that will be eligible when district tourney starts that will really help them. I wouldn't be shocked if they are not the second team that makes it out of the district tourney.

Sorry I should have more clear. I have seen SC for only 2 innings. Did not mean to offend, you have obviously seen them ( Farragut ) more than the two games I have. They are very solid and if I had to bet my money would be on them to win it all. Having said that I know nothing about the teams from west and middle tn besides reading scores.

Only got to see 2 innings but they are a solid team. Have played Farragut 2 times and with Raby on the mound they are very hard to beat. Imo not as good as usual but still might win it all. SC and them should be a great match up. Thing about Farragut is the same as Maryville in football, sometimes they have won before the game even starts.

Had that many last year. Most folks underestimate the talent.

ok I guess I'm through messin with you guys on this subject. That's what great about America, everybody's right these days!

Excellent points but remember those are non city kids that are going to bring down test scores, dress code standards(camo and non leather letter jackets), more noise(no mufflers), extra principle just to deal with discipline issues etc. I truly believe you would help your school system if you got rid of them. Maybe faze it in starting with next years junior class. Imo

Well being a republican I just can't go along with you demos wanting higher taxes. I think you should be looking at cutting stuff. Here is another suggestion for you city slickers to save a little money in your system. Average kids per room let's say 22 times 2200$ (Tuition) = 48400$. Average teacher pay let's say 58000$. Stop tuition students save money pay football coaches more money.

I'll get him!

I wish that were true. Got that ol boat before we hitched up. Down at Lanier we learned important stuff like how to have your toys before getting hitched. She don't have any trouble spending that extra tax money though. She secretly just came up with a fresh batch of rebel cards. She is a worse traitor than me.

All excellent points but, paying teachers more doesn't mean they are better teachers. I'm sure we can agree so I don't have to bring up a couple of examples like the one that lives in my house and the other that stays in my boat. Remember you can afford to pay those teachers more because they are no baseball fields any where to keep up. The one that is supposed to come is losing pieces everyday (stands, change house team room, brick ticket booth all gone, with the infield turf on life support). I hear the revo helmets are working well in spring practice though. Anyway I see your point. Well I got to go get something to eat. Are there any restaurants left in the county that the city and their higher taxes haven't annexed? Never mind I'm going to the greenback corner to see Fuzz. Lol

Couple of easy solutions IMO. Why do school systems pay for sports and other non academic activities? It seems like the city folks that are unhappy should move to the county.

Mr. Govclub president will be waiting on that donation. Add my name on there and get us both off the t list.

How much have you donated to the govclub? Traitor has nothing to do with where you live. It's all about that mo!

Don't try to stir up trouble between me and govclub, I'm just glad he still talks to me.

Awesome post. I'm a WB traitor (regrettably) but wish nothing but the best for my school. Look forward to seeing you on the sideline.

who didn't? What I stated was one of the reasons.

Speaking for yourself I assume. Pitiful statement. Biggest problem at WB during the early years was losing good players to OOZ.

Getting closer 91. Not long to go now. The bag has not been opened.

I think he would make a great assistant to the new man!

Yes it is. C ya

91 you should actively seek out members of the govclub. This group is on a mission to honestly try to turn things around at WB. Anything that will be done will be done with the blessing of coach Ridge. It's not a behind the back kind of deal. Ridge, Cupp and the govclub are working very hard for the best interest of WB.
