It has been filled by assistant Reggie Jackson.

Maryville better watch out now!

CCS is hosting Tyner, Polk County, and Howard Friday at 6pm.

The #2 player in the country (24/7 Sports) is a Chattanooga kid named Ace Bailey. He left Boyd Buchanan and now plays for McEachern in Atlanta. He's special.

You can take Signal Mountain off the list. They've hired Mark Mariakis as their new HC.

I'm calling an upset!

As good as the last coach was he finished only 1 game over .500 and never won a playoff game. He saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship. Howard will be in 6A in the upcoming years. Who's signing up for that?

At the current moment it appears the answer is no and that's a shame.

The school still graduates a lot of good kids. Plus, they have construction and welding classes that put a lot of guys on their feet once they graduate. I personally know 3 young men currently in lineman school that recently graduated from Howard. Those stories are never talked about, only the negative stuff.

You may get your wish by the end of the season. Considering the fact that Howard isn't a destination school for anyone that's serious about football or sports in general, who would be a good candidate for the job?

HCDE requires Brainerd and Howard to have a ton of security when they play due to the large amount of unsupervised kids that attend the game. It's really hard to hire 10-15 cops for a game on a Saturday night when they know it will be real work and not a cushy extra job. On top of that, rumor is the county DA is going to release the video of an officer involved shooting the same evening and any potential protest could strain CPD manpower.

They were really physical. Now, they were playing AE, Howard, and Copper Basin so take that for what it's worth. McMinn Central wasn't very fast but they didn't look like a doormat yesterday.

I saw Howard and AE scrimmage yesterday at McMinn Central and I honestly feel like that game would be a toss up. Probably whoever was the host would win.

I've heard but can't confirm that the QB from BGA transferred to CCS. Maybe someone can shed some light on this rumor.

Coach Starr is that you? Lol! It's well documented that Howard is 180% over capacity. I don't care about what other schools are doing, I'm speaking on Howard. It doesn't matter whose coaching football, the school's facing the same problem regardless. If you really knew what was going on at Howard you would know that the data presented to TSSAA was compiled by one of Howard's former assistant basketball coaches and the baseball coach.

Howard is overcrowded with "newcomer" Hispanic students that don't participate in anything because most haven't been in school since elementary. It has forced them up in classification and has made maintaining athletics extremely hard. Even Howard's girls soccer team struggles. People exaggerate how good the boys soccer program really is at this point. It's an HCDE problem not a coaching problem.

Howard should be allowed to play down. Their building is equipped to hold less than 900 students but they currently sit close to 1600 students due to HCDE being inept. Add in the fact CCS is right down the street and is allowed to play down in football while playing at the appropriate level in everything else. It's a joke.

No matter what happens Brainerd ain't kicking him out!

Wolfpack 7 on 7 ties.

I'm hearing something a little more serious. I won't get into it here. Hopefully it's nothing and he can move forward.

The rumor mill says Boo Carters days at CCS may be over. I hope that's not the case but we shall see.

McMinn County wins easily...

Chattanoogan.com ran an article a couple weeks back with the enrollment numbers. I have some insight into this team and I can tell you the seniors that quit last year were addition by subtraction. Howard's playing a lot of underclassmen with little to no experience. Their D Line and Middle Linebacker are the only players with experience. As far as low player turn out there's a number of factors. One being a ton of potential Howard kids go to other schools in Hamilton County. Howard really has never been a football powerhouse to begin with either. Their last coaches claim to fame was that he fed his players every morning, we're not talking Nick Saban here.
