Yea i’m sure it’s something that has been discussed at the least . I asked some Mckenzie folks around the program and they confirmed it … so who the heck knows . There’s even a promising young player at Mckenzie looking to transfer because of it as he feels he should be a starter . If Milton transfers, he would be a better fit at Huntingdon IMO

Normally I'd agree but I dont think Swenson would give him the ball. Lol. Probably just put him at OLB or something. It would hurt to see Milton go but this year we'd only go as far as he could carry us anyway. 2024 is probably going to be more about building for 2025 for the War Eagles

I am hearing RB Jayden Milton is transferring to Mckenzie from WC , can anyone confirm this report ? @ItsAlwaysSunnyInAtwood 

First seeing this I wouldn't be surprised. Thought more about it. His family is pretty dug into the WC community so I had doubts too. I asked around and a fellow alum who is very close said he's not going anywhere and that was from 18 himself. I figured this would come up sooner or later because he trains with Kory in McKenzie 

Hardin County has their guy

I know that this board is for athletics, but Liberty Tech also had a very strong AG program and a highly respected FFA chapter...that went into the tank as well.

Why does Liberty seem to be the redheaded stepchild of the Madison Co School system  

Just seems like they're always getting the short end of the stick. All this despite the school showing so much promise in its earlier years

I guess TDOT must have built a bypass around  Highway 51 big 3 straight to Martin.   I wonder if Dyersburg, Covington and Ripley got the memo? 

I mean... Westview already beat Ripley. They lost to Dyersburg by 2 or 3 points in the playoffs. I think Covington is only team to control Westview in their most recent matchup. I don't know if the region goes thru Martin in 2024 but it might in 2025. I'm sure it will in 26 and 27.

Well, on that second part, Going toe to toe with MBA this year lasted all of about 5 minutes. After dismantling Dyer County MS to get to the finals, MBA completely dominated MMS that game to win by 40-ish? But I do agree with Westviews overall program being in a better place now than his first tour. Lots of excitement around the new coaches and thats good for kids. 

I didn't know they played this year I was referring to 2022's 8-6 overtime game.

If Westview stays in 3A it wont happen, it will be exactly like it was this past year, they will struggle with the top teams (Covington and Dyersburg maybe even Ripley) and beat up on the bottom teams (McNairy, Bolivar, Liberty, Scotts Hill). Then come playoff time IF they are able to push past Covington or Dyersburg a second time, they will have a team like East Nashville waiting for them, then Alcoa. Westview with Ty Simpson (Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior year) in 3A finished 6th, 4th, and 4th in their region. When they dropped to 2A is when they went 14-1 and won the Gold Ball. 

 

Not saying Westview will not be good, but I just don't see them doing much in 3A, the only chance they will have will be dropping to 2A again and getting a favorable Region as they did in 2021. 

Well what are we talking about? This next season or perhaps 3 seasons from now. Normally I'd agree with everything you said but there's 2 things I can't get over. 1. Imo Westviews program is in a better place now than when ty got into high school and 2. I don't normally cite jr high records or performances but when a small town team like Westview is going toe to toe with teams like MBA, it's kinda hard to ignore. Do I think Westview will beat Alcoa in the next 4 years? Negative. But in this day and age talent seems to find a way to come together whether it's the pros or high school. I wouldn't doubt if there's kids who will come there just to be on the team and in film with graham. I honestly could see them making it to Chattanooga or wherever it'll be by the time little Simpson is a senior.

What’s next for the Camden Lions ? A lot people seem to want Josh Wolfe, has he even been coaching anywhere ? 

Pretty sure he was at Henry County this past season. I'll admit Wolfe was my first thought for this opening 

Absolutely pathetic

Smh. 

Just throwing a name out there but no interest from Bo Wallace?

I was doing some research , Coach Dowland was a head coach before at Caruthersville High School and once a offensive coordinator at shelbyville .. just thought it was interesting he has a background on both sides of the ball 

I didn't know any of that. Just knew he was good playing back in his day at Greenfield. Dowlands not really a chatty guy even on the live show they do. But that's good to know and was probably the deciding factor in his hiring.

Me too but Dowland earned it . Will Dixon stay you think ? 

Well our defense was the best unit on last year's team by far. So I reckon it could be worse. I think Dixon will stay. Could be wrong. But he's the head baseball coach too so I'm sure he'll stay until he finds a similar setup at a bigger school or Greenfield

No .. the Hayden you speak of was the middle school coach for two years , he’ll reportedly be back on the coaching staff at the high school of Bruceton in 24 

Oh gotcha I didn't think it was him but not often you get two guys with the same name coaching around these parts

Is that the same Hayden Williams that used to play for Bruceton? Jamie's son

Adam Dowland is the new coach at WC. I figured they'd go Dixon but I guess Dowland's experience won out. Good luck Coach

Who are they clamoring for? Frost?

Yes. Whether they get him or not idk. But heck I can't blame them for wanting Frostie

He has been made interim head coach while the search starts for a new head coach. I would assume it would be a possibility but I really hope they look at all possible candidates and get this hire right. Staying in house is not always the way to go imo and that's not a knock against any coach currently on staff. I believe there should and will be a lot of interest in this job. Some coach wil be inheriting a solid football program in Savannah.

Seems the fans at least on the social medias you don't use are clamoring for a certain state championship coach.

I heard this was possibly gonna happen but was hoping it wouldn't TBH. Should be a lot of interest in this job imo. Had not heard this yet. Did this come out today?

I saw it on the Hardin county sports HOF Twitter I think on Christmas Eve. Apparently Smith will be staying on as AD.

I dont see coach pitt leaving greenfield with him being gone a year and him just coming back.  It could happen I guess but it would shock me.  I see him staying there for a very very long time.

I don't think so either

20 games under .500 in a decade at Greenfield over a decade. Playoff appearances by default of the 4 seed & a good class of stud athletes that small schools get on occasion. & they exited in the second round I think.  Now back at the helm of Greenfield & it's been a complete disaster of fights, player suspensions & 3 wins versus teams that went a combined 2 -29. 

"Make him tell you no?" Really? This is the best WC can attract? 

I don't believe that.

I'd be perfectly fine with coach Pitts he's a heck of a coach. I can't recall any time during his first tenure when I saw a class of stud athletes like you  mentioned. He just got every bit out of the kids he was coaching. I believe they won the region in 2020 thanks to a covid win. But we beat them week 11 and round 2 to put em out. 

Hardin County is open

Noah is outstanding… if he coached at martin, Union City,Huntingdon, Dresden…. that man would have a few championships. I’m a big fan of his work and have no dog in his race . What he does with the smallest school in the entire state is incredible. 

At this point, I'm convinced there would no longer be a football program at Gleason without lampkins. Which is why I'm also convinced he'll never leave for anything but retirement.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out… if it were me and I was in charge of West Carroll i’d at least make Don Pitts tell me no or maybe see what Josh Wolfe is doing again.  I believe Bruceton already has its guy , will probably be announced in January. 

Pitts maybe. Love coach Wolfe but he's never coming back. My guess is we'll hire an up and coming coordinator like we did with Morris or we'll hire Hunter Dixon.

Anyways , any ideas what direction West Carroll will go now that Coach Morris took a position closer to home ? In house most likely ? @ItsAlwaysSunnyInAtwood

Idk I'd like to see some new blood personally. As soon as the OC job came open I knew he'd apply. Good luck to Coach Morris

Yea Child … I don’t live on this thing like you do, but it was nice to verify my sources and prove you wrong . 

LMAO but you were in regularly during the season and had plenty of opportunities to air your grievances. Yet you waited until after the fact. Ergo. Passive aggressive
