  1. It's a good hire that will be able to continue to build off what Hayden Williams has built there. Bolivar was able to score 20+ points in 9 of their 10 games. The defense has question marks, and they'll need to find a new quarterback. However, I don't expect there to be any significant drop off if they can find a good quarterback.
  2. Bolivar hired Rennard Woodmore as their head coach.
  3. Poor you! Was the temperature too cold inside the Murphy Center? Did they put pickles on your nachos and not jalapeños? Did a bag of skittles cost a little more than you expected? Stop complaining. Good grief...
  4. Yes, but what I’m saying is that it’s excessive. Like whose coming out with that info? I’m not saying she’s not the “#1 ranked player.” But if “they” are saying she’s ranked that high, then who is the #1 ranked player for the class of 2028 and 2029? Because I’m sure “they” have that info somewhere.
  5. Sounds familiar to Memphis with the Lawson’s and Tennessee with Trey Smith… As of now, there’s only one place where Ayers need to go play college basketball.
  6. I have a hard time figuring out how they’re already making rankings for the class of 2027. They’re all still 4 years away from graduating. Not saying Mike Keith was wrong, but it does make me question where he got that info from. Or how there can be a list of players that far out until they graduate?
  7. Obviously, the coaching carousel in West Tennessee has been active this offseason. More active than what I expected. I knew there would be three head coaching jobs for sure that will be available, maybe four. All four of those schools that I expected to get a new head coach, did in fact, get a new head coach. Right now, we're at 14 schools in West Tennessee that'll have a new football coach in West Tennessee. Of those 14 schools, only three of them still have an opening. I will throw an interesting nugget at you, the 11 schools that filled their vacancy, either hired from within, or took another coach (whether if it's head/assistant) from another school in West Tennessee. I have this odd theory that some schools will want to hire a head coach, just to hire a head coach. With that being said, it doesn't necessarily work out. Scott Stidham left South Gibson for Independence. He had the #1 player in the state in Ty Lockwood that was scheduled to play for him in 2022, but elected to have shoulder surgery and miss the year. He also had a player that is currently at Western Michigan in running back, Tre Hartwell. They ran more of a I-formation type offense with play action pass. Not to mention, Dexter McCluster is on that coaching staff. They're a 6A school with good athletes. In 2023, they lose Hartwell, and the offense changed to the Wing-T. The same offense that Stidham ran in Medina. To put it nicely, the offense plummeted in stats, and defense in that region figured them out. They were average, and it's not a good fit right now off 840. I knew the Lexington job would be open last summer. I think everyone in Lexington had a feeling that it was going to be Hollingsworth's last season before the season began. With that being said, they also had John Ross Hudson on staff. Hudson left Lexington as an assistant to go to Camden. That occurred while the Lexington job was still open. Kind of told me that Lexington was going to get a head coach somewhere, and they did. Liberty hired Robert Gillard as their football coach. And yes, he did have heading coach experience at Kenwood and Austin-East. He spent 3 years at Kenwood as a head coach, and won around 10 games total. I love Tyler Reeder as a person, but he struggled at South Side, especially post covid. USJ hired an assistant in Derrick Pritchard and South Gibson hired Ben Johnson, an assistant from Westview. I know McKenzie would do their homework, and I'm not worried about who they will hire. However, saying they'll bring a head coach just solely because he has the "experience" doesn't mean it's good.
  8. What's wrong with the Wing T? Y'all don't want Scott Stidham to come over from Independence? Or even Swenson? Haha. Regardless, McKenzie is going to be fine! I hope they don't settle for a coach. They're going to be okay!
  9. Pushing hard for him to leave Riverside? Haha
  10. As a fan, I wouldn’t want to see her leave. She can arguably win 2 more state titles and 2 more Miss Basketball award. When it’s all said and done, she could be the best athlete (both boys and girls) ever to come through West Tennessee.
  11. Same reason why Ken Northcut took the North Side girls basketball job. From that perspective, I understand.
  12. Why? Why would you leave everything that you have in McKenzie to go to.....Milan?
  13. Does anybody have any clue on why there was a technical foul on Dyersburg? It occurred late in the game, and it was on a player. I was watching the game on TV and struggled to figure it out.
  14. 5 fouls called in like :33 seconds. Lol
  15. I didn’t watch the game, just glad to see there hasn’t been a controversial call that changed a game throughout the tournament (correct me if I’m wrong). Just seen some chatter over social media about bench warnings. With that being said, my biggest knock on the officiating is their mechanics. The mechanics are too robotic, and they seem to be more worried about making sure their mechanics are crisp and clear, rather than getting the call right. Congratulations to the Gibson County Lady Pioneers! It’s been a while since the last time they’ve won a title, and I’m proud to see what Coach Wilkins has done to those ladies! All of the Wilkins’ can coach, but they’re also seem to be doing a great job off the court! Safe travels back to Dyer!
