There are always several examples of that as enrollments ebb and flow.

It would be news to me if they started co-oping with anyone. They finished 1-9 0-5 in region 8 3a this season.

Also aren't all the privates going D2? Looks like 2A region 8 may have a possible predicament. Fairley Mitchell Douglass MAHS Manassas Hamilton (drops to 1A if they choose too) Then the potential of 5 more schools in Memphis dropping to 2A?

This look right?

I don't feel like reading all of this but the obviously the A's are for enrollment. Participants do not equal players. Players are sometimes born but most often are developed. Coaching is huge. Most good/great coaches go where they get paid the most or where they can ride some talent to a better paying job.

I know I have no control over the content of the posts that follow, however I would like to keep this an informative post not a discussion of who should or should not lose their jobs.

Brian Pence Resigns at East Hickman replaced by..... Ken Johnson Resigns at Cumberland County replaced by..... AIvin Palmer Retires at Fayetteville replaced by..... John Mullinax Retired at Tellico Plains replaced by..... Ethan Edmiston Resigns at Sweetwater replaced by.....

I will add it when I see the official press release. I had heard this as well. Class guy no doubt!

Brian Pence Resigns at East Hickman replaced by..... I will try to keep a running list of coaches that retire/resign/are fired.

Camden seems to be much improved this season.

1 vs 2 will be a great game!

Sources say neither player will return to play this season. The wheels have not fallen off they are simply flat and someone pored sugar in the gas tank.

You maybe right. He has nothing to prove at Waverly which he built up from when he got there. I would not begin to underestimate the emotional attachment he may be feeling. This is not as easy a decision as some may think. Milan has lots of positives but is not without it's negatives.

Forgive me if it has already been discussed but how many coaches will the new head coach be able to bring with him?

Pays better than most jobs in West Tn. Better athletes and tradition also. If the coach doesn't win he should be sent packing. It is Milan not (insert your school here) after all. Best job in West Tn.

Besides Ward, what about Swenson, Comer or Bowlin? Give me some time and I can think of another half dozen. Milan is one of the most coveted jobs in West Tennessee.

Huntingdon is "waiting" on Coalfield or Greenback. The clock will run in the third quarter of every game up to and possibly including the championship. The Mustangs are just that good.

Trenton should take care of business.

10-0 or 15-0?

Will this be the most physical game of the season so far for the Mustangs?

Typically Milan is a BIG measuring STICK for any program that plays them. I am not sure that is the case this year. I expect they will squeak out a win from Huntingdon nothing more.
