He deserved it.... Congrats to him, staff, admin and players on an excellent season.

Congrats to Coach Olive on a great run. His teams always played with class.

Nice 3rd post! Didn't see any posters compare this Columbia team to their State Title team. Fact is the new coach took over very close to the start of the season. Many folks agree that given the circumstances, the Lions were coached well and were very competitive. Who is your team and how did they do this season?

PB & J is not expensive and I know coaches who provide kids with food all year long. It is part of coaching in metro (Shelby, Davidson and Knox Counties) if the coaches truly care. I would assume PC does some of this too.

Coach Moore has done a great job from where i sit. They have been very competitive in the games they have lost. Obviously a strange way to be named HC but he has exceeded expectations in my eyes.

Metro needs to let the schools fundraise for artificial turf fields and match these funds. I assume it is 7-8 hundred grand for a turf field these days. Although the others will be upset at first, pick a school cluster to start at and then do a new school/cluster every two years until they make it through the county.

I agree with this prediction. I previously was not sure about CR but I now believe they advance to round 2.

MC is pretty good this year so the PC score was not a surprise. PC & East advance past round 1. I hope others do as well but the rest will likely be underdogs. Best of luck to all the Metro teams in the November/Dec.

I believe Tullahoma wins the ballgame but I don't see them scoring 45 on MC. The battle of the trenches will be fun to watch in this one.

I don't recall who was the Metro AD prior to the current AD? Please refresh us on who it was. Regarding a coach who could hypothetically lead a Metro All-Star team to a victory over Oakland/Maryville, my pick would be Blade (last Metro coach to win a state football title)

What is the deepest playoff run for Tullahoma and what year was it? This might be their year to get to Chattanooga....

Good points. Abbreviated short season for Metro High School / JV teams last year didn't help player development. The Metro Middle Schools had no athletics last year which puts today's freshmen way behind. Kids and Coaches can't be blamed for the admin/gov. mandates.

Just curious to know why PC with an enrollment that appears to place them in 3A, choose to move up to 4A ?

The young man was not assaulted. Quit trying to blow this up into something it is not. Coach Dilfer addressed the issue and it is squashed. I don't know Dilfer and could care less about Lipscomb but i respect him and his players and assistant coaches do to.

With Alcoa out of the way, PC should win the State title this year. Anything less than a Championship, is a bad season given their dominance in metro Nashville .....

Lipscomb vs PC would be a great matchup and a great crowd!!!

Curious to know if PC will try and find a game for this week... After beating MBA, might be hard to find an opponent willing to play on short notice.

I was unaware that he decided not to play his senior year. I couldn't fathom passing up the opportunity to play HS ball with my boys one last season but I guess he has his reasons.

Metro needs a good competitive Hillsboro team to be among Nashville's elite. In the recent past, the Burros have been one of Metro's most consistent teams regarding wins/competitiveness. They should have a really good OLine this year with maybe the largest player in the state anchoring its Oline. I'm hoping they can make a playoff run this season.

Haven't seen Overton play in a few years so i can't comment on the previous staff. I do know Broome will have the kids play very hard for him. Excited to see Overton become more competitive moving forward.

Good article on Coach John Moore ... Wishing the best for Columbia this season. https://www.coacht.com/tennessee/article.cfm?id=634933

Good luck to these coaches this Fall. Hope the parents are allowed to attend their kid's games this season.

Any updates on this hire?

Where do the kids at Nashville School of the Arts play football? What about Middle College? Do these kids have a co-op school to ball at?

Good luck to the Panthers as they try and find their new coach. Great tradition at Maplewood with good community support when they are winning. Hillsboro and Maplewood were the two Metro big dogs at the time (2003-2009). Wonder if G Tate going to Maplewood instead of JPII would have put them over the top or D Mason going to Maplewood instead of PC would have put them over the top? Look at Metro Middle School football right now..... They didn't even get to play last year so all metro teams are starting behind everyone else.... as usual. Our leaders let these kids down imo.
