I do know that NCS sends a big bus to Dickson to pick up a lot of kids. Dickson is 1/2 way between NCS and McEwen down 70 Hwy.

Coming off a successful season, hearing that 3 Warrior starting linemen are hitting the transfer portal to Nashville Christian. Feel free to confirm or deny. I would not think NCS would venture that far West to get players.

Put Kirkwood in with region 7 and possibly take out James Lawson.

Kirkwood will be 5A because of the influx of Seniors they will get. The 999 enrollment is without seniors. They can stay at 5A or move up to 6A to be with Rossview/Clarksville/West Creek. I think they will stay 5A and get lumped in with Kenwood, Northwest, Northeast, Dickson County, Henry County and possibly Springfield if they don't go to Metro or Sumner. There are only 4 5A teams west of TN river, unless you count Henry County. Small region and they all make the playoffs. I don't see TSSAA sending Henry County back to Memphis.

You are obviously more in tune to what Springfield is doing than I am. But, I have seen 1 Springfield game on offense while scouting another team they were playing. What Springfield is doing on Offense is good stuff. In the game I watched, I noticed Springfield had some missed assignments in blocking or not sustaining blocks for that extra step and that allows good players to get off blocks and make plays. Also, missed a few opportunities in the passing game, but that is high school football for you. Not always going to throw/catch with precision, especially with good coverage. Just my 2 cents worth, with is basically worthless. lol

I watched the Dickson/Gallatin game last night. I beg to differ on your opinion of Dickson. They were not bad. Their Defense completely kept Gallatin in check. I think Gallatin got in scoring position only twice all night. QB had difficulty finding time to throw. Gallatin could not get their running game going. On the other hand, Dickson ran the ball at will on Gallatin. Dickson could not connect on the home run throws a few times. Both teams were solid on Special teams. Gallatin kids definitely passed the eye test.

Cleveland should have hired Mark Tipton after Coach Monroe. Obviously Mark went on to bigger and better things than having to follow Coach Monroe, but he was an outstanding coach and an even better human being.

I am assuming he is including Riverside Christian in this group of 3.

Replacing the Duo of Coach Wade and Coach Beaubien is a tough act to follow.

Palmer does not run a West Coast offense. Far from it. It may be no huddle, but not necessarily break neck pace. He is run 1st without a doubt. His passing/screen concepts are solid, but he makes hay running the ball.....especially the IZO. It is very tough to defend by the nature of the way he runs it. Option read off mesh point. The one thing Palmer is noted for is QB development. He spends more time in the off-season with his QBs than any coach I have ever seen in my 35 years. I don't think that aspect has changed.

Where to start............Coach McCadams, RIP, is rolling over in his grave over the Lipscomb shenanigans. My father, former longtime TN high school head coach/Administrator, and Coach McCadams were extremely close. They coached together on several All-Star showcase games and competed against each other as well. When I became a head coach myself, my teams competed against Coach McCadams as well. We became close as well, as well as some of his former staff. Some of which are still at LA in some various capacities. They see it first hand on a daily basis and are embarrassed by what is/has been going on. Some of the stories I have been told by LA staff members are unreal, if true. If I had to guess, LA is extremely lucky that TSSAA did not really push the issue beyond what facts we already know. I hate it for the kids that adults have to get in the way.

Fleetwood making the move to Lower Antioch.

Funny you say that Strike. I witnessed a few games at DCA when they were on defense, CPW would bury himself in the Ipad and not have 'nary a clue what was going on on defense. He had a high level of trust in his DC Beaubien that he could focus on the Ipad and see how to run or attack with OZ or OZ fake and throw over the top of the safety coming downhill. You know you have solid people and staff when you can completely focus on another part of the game knowing the other aspect was in good hands and would get him the ball back on offense pretty quickly. It's a shame Beaubien didn't end up with the DCA job, but he has apparently landed on solid ground.
