YAIDAD

Clarkrange got Meigs Co. 11:30 on Thursday

But the entire pep club and adult fans. Wish had a state rep grandson on York. Maybe we would have gotten to play too.

What time are games tonight

The year Philip was here you guys came to the Dragon pit. It was a great game triple ot. One of the best YAI/Smith County battles I remember.

York Institute has hired Derwin Wright

No Phillip replaced Wheaton before 91-92 season then it was john Debaker, Roy Stucker, then Derwin. He didn't get to York till late 90's he was an assistant under stucker. Phillip went 6-5 the only yr he was there

Philip was only there one yr 91-92. Wish he had stayed around he too like Derwin was a heck of a coach.

He is a wingt coach and very knowledgable about it. Makes the game exciting as a fan. And yes older brother was at upperman

He is an excellent x and o coach. Bring back the mtn man football. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

I'm looking forward to FOOTBALL ON THE MTN. once again.

There is a very good article in my opinion in the Cookeville Herald Citizen today. www.herald-citizen.com/view/full_story/24595682/article-Was-TSSAA-decision-on-fight-fair-?instance=main_article

1988 thru spring of 91 I do believe. He had 3 seasons as head coach.

Very well said.

Fact adults were told numerous times of a problem. Fact they do nothing about it. Fact they put 15 y/o kids in situations adults should not be in. I am not pointing fingers. Throwing a punch is not the answer BUT every human has a breaking point. The proper channels had been addressed. PC knew this was a problem prior to this game. The officials had been told during this game. It's a bad situation all the way around, but to give on team all the punishment. I wouldn't be happy if it were the other way around. High school sports are for the kids not mom and dad to relive their youth.

I beg to differ and there have been other teams complain to the Pickett county coaching staff and school officials of the harassment on the bench to no avail. And I defiantly disagree with York cussing the plates on the floor. There is at all times at least 2 sponsors with the pep club. I know them personally and they would not put up with cursing.

And at what time was Pickett County in front of York's student section. They set on the opposite side of the gym. And as far as Pickett county players not being being envolved I'm sure that has something to do with the pep club punching kids sitting on the bench. This is ridiculous. And as far as my state representative not staying and supporting the kids from both schools he supposed to represent. I will make sure to lobby every person I find to show him our displeasure come the next election. The kids from fentress county are just as important as his grand kid.

No he is not the one that is being told around town.

I don't know what political influence went so please share. I may need to rethink my voting.

Not sure that it has. From all the talk it will be filled by an existing teacher/coach, due to budget cuts.

Ridiculous!!!!

Ridiculous!!!!

It's no where near like it used to be. I don't think it would be a problem with the kids. Some of the older generation would stroke out

Didn't say he didn't just stating it wasn't a team he built.

If I'm not wrong this is with a team he inherited. This was his first yr at YAI

It gets funding due to agreement made with a war hero. The county will have no choice if and when it's turned over. Not sure what this has to do with coaching staff. I hate the situation for the kids many of them have played ball since they were 6 or 7 years old. And now when they get to high school they are gonna end up with a coach that doesn't want to be there. So the real ones being punished are the kids.
