Just food for thought, TC is playing in 2A with 1A numbers and Watertown is playing 2A with 3A numbers. 

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

Who does MLK Co-op with in football? & I think Trezevant moves to 2A if they want?  Not staying in 3A due to enrollment.

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.

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 am hope their is a change at Morristown East, 5 years of avg. win total of 3-4 games a year and being 0-5 against your crosstown team Morristown West should warrant a head coaching change. East has over 1600 students and Coaches Wells is luck to have 50 players come out. Our schools best athletes  will not play for him. He didn't win at Campbell Co. and now we know he cannot win at East.

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.

Put Scotts Hill on your list. Coach Robertson stepped up and took over after a messy situation, and salvaged our season (yes, it could have been lot's worse). He made it clear that he did not want the position permanently, and would step aside after the season was over. Job will officially be posted tomorrow.

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

I will try to keep a running list of coaches that retire/resign/are fired.

Camden seems to be much improved this season.

Are Yates and Crawford going to be back at all? The wheels seem to be coming off quickly. 

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.

If that is true McConnell would be crazy to pass up an opportunity like this. HC at Milan would be most coaches dream!  

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?

Personally, I feel for who ever comes in there. If they don’t win off the bat, could get rough. Those folks over there are used to winning!

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.

Yes Im pretty sure Huntingdon is waiting on Dresden,Lake Co,Hillcrest or Westwood.I was saying Dresden may not be the team playing them.But they could be.

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.

Lewis county is in top 3 easy.... they won't lose a game this year

10-0 or 15-0?

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

If Huntingdon beats Milan we can pretty much stop this conversation

Milan isn't bad, but they aren't great.

I agree. But no other 1A school could come within 21 of Milan maybe 14

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.
