Its a shame Franklin County had a darn good coach and you're gonna fire him. I don't think you realize what you are losing. I have been reading all of these negative comments, and just can't help but wonder how well do you know Coach Smith. Because if you knew him at all you would know yes he LOVES winning. He is constantly coming up with new play ideas. That he will run over and over on a sheet of paper. He constantly is thinking about how each one of those boys on the team can bring something different something fresh. BUT he knows that football teaches so much more than winning a game. And I will bet what life lessons Coach Smith has taught these young men will leave more of an impact then the number of wins/loses they had. Politics play such a role in school these days. It's funny that Coach Smith is the one to go, when the problem is deeper in the athletic program. But good thing for Coach, he will be just fine. There are plenty of schools that can look at his career record and know they are getting a GREAT COACH.

Thanks for that Official Mc1996. After a week of us talking, I'm ready to move forward.

Now just waiting for the Official decision to become public

Unless Mac flies a jet back and forth to Arkansas everyday he is right here in Tennessee. I see him regularly shopping both in Tullahoma and Winchester.

Great post, Coach.... Sure wish things would have been different for Jeremy and you. And you both could still be coaching some Raider football.

MONTOYE,WALKER really!!!!!!....I seriously hope those 2 are jokingly being thrown own out there.

You will always be a raider. And we are all former classmates. Huntland is your home now. But Moore Co will always hold a special place for you. 😉

Big Bigby my apologies for not recommending you somewhere good. Barrelhouse BBQ is definitely a great choice. This thread got away from the original topic with MC and MtP. I got tired of goin back and forth with Huntland.

If you would read my entire post you would see I covered that. I'm not interested in a peeing match. I pretty much gave you the facts. Yet you seem to want to continue to rehash. Here's what Friday night holds for Huntland, if Moore County wins, y'all are out. Bitter Sweet don't you think.

Always good to see you pulling for MC.

I think you may want to read over my post again. First I never claimed our defense was impressive, I do think Huntland scoring only 14pts against our D does say something. I don't believe in any of my posts I made any excuses for our loss. Nor do I think I was bragging.We lost. Do I personally think it was because Huntland dominated no. If that were the case the score would have been much higher. I will give credit where credit is due, we didn't score any. But let's really compare our seasons. Both lost to Forrest, neither team scoring. But our D only allowed 22pts, Huntland 35. Fay. City. Both teams lost,Huntland managed to put up 21& let Fay.City Score 49. MC only allowed Fay.City to score 14& our offense was unable to score. Now let's compare or wins. HUNTLAND. MOORECOUNTY Summertown 41-14 Summertown 46-6 Richland 35-6. Richland 53-14 Cornersville 47-21. Cornersville 48-7 GCA 69-50. GCA 42-10 I would hardly say Huntland is any better than Moore Co. Yall beat us. Its done. The rival continues. Look forward to next year my friend.

Yes our boys are healthy and will be playing with everything they have. These Seniors have so much talent and unfortunately for various reason weren't able to show that this year. Since their 8th grade year with a winning record 10-0 and beating Cascade in the championship, Moore County has expected to see them to the same this year. I could waste this entire thread on putting the blame on someone or something, but Instead here we are 3 days from meeting mTp. Its gonna be a good game. I think the Raiders are gonna come out ready to play. Having home field advantage is a major plus. But again, both teams are gonna come to win. And it will come down to who wants it more.

Well I guess if you "heard" then you weren't there. Yes our boys in blue along with fans were there. I simply meant that the team that "showed up" wasn't the same team in practice that week. Unfortunately we lost to Huntland, but it wasnt because of Huntland was the better team. Our defense proved that. We beat ourselves, offensively we couldn't get anywhere.

Thanks for the breakdown so the country folks like myself get a better understanding. Big Bigby appreciate the neutral vibes. Mostly definitely will be a good game. Both teams know what's on the line. Our Seniors know this could be it. It will come down to simply who wants it more. The loss to Huntland hurt more because that wasn't our team out there. Friday night will be a nail bitter. Obviously I'm pulling for a MC win. But it's gonna be interesting..

Sadly,raiderfan12,you haven't heard the phrase, " you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you." We take care of our players. And to say the stands are "filled", and the fence is "lined". To say what this program could use is men and women who were "real fans". Let me tell about "real fans." "Real fans" don't just show up on Friday night to support their Raiders. There are numerous members of our community that donate their time in so many ways and ask for nothing in return. Local businesses (who fill those stands, and line those fences) that make donations that help with many expenses that would come out of the pockets of parents of these players. Then there are local restaurants that fill the stands, line the fences that donate pregame meals that feed those boys that "WE" the "real fans" love. "Real fans" are scrambling around on Mondays to make sure JV players have something to eat. "Real fans" are at Raider Camp getting up early to cook breakfast, make lunch, and then cook dinner. "Raider fans" hustle and bustle to go above and beyond for our boys. Doing whatever has got to be done. So I think your statement on the "fans" is very hypocritically, when its apparent you, yourself don't have much respect or raider pride. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Oleblue78,stated an individual opinion. You, are disgracing the town.

Buddha14 if that muddy field opens up and swallows these 2 teams and their fan base who would eagleville lose to next week?

As I have followed this thread all week we have went from how "Moore County" can't hang with good teams, to some scandal with an assistant coach helping Huntland (which by the way is bullcrap) to turning this feed into a rehash between Huntland and Forrest. Huntland has had a good season the wins prove that. But to act as if there isn't any talent in Moore County is ridiculous. Outta everyone who has commented on this thread, how many of you were at the game? Because if you were watching the same game I was, Huntland wasn't at good as I expected. But a win is a win. And Moore County just didn't play like they wanted the win. But the nerve that Huntland had by tailgating at our school, letting their kids run around on our field, really shows how much class grown adults have. With all of this being said, has anyone thought about the Moore County player that got hurt Friday night? Have you asked yourself how a rivalry could go as far as trying to purposely breaking a players ankle? And it then the fact that not one and I mean not one Huntland player took a knee out of respect for our #21. The arrogance and disrespect that was shown during that time really showed what it means to be a. "true blue" hornet. And I will take a Moore CountyAs I have followed this thread all week we have went from how "Moore County" can't hang with good teams, to some scandal with an assistant coach helping Huntland (which by the way is bullcrap) to turning this feed into a rehash between Huntland and Forrest.

No matter how much either team wants to win, no one wants to see these players get hurt.

From what our coaches told us it was a neck injury. The young man was carried off with EMTs.
