Tristan has not been working out or practicing with his younger brother at Carter, FYI.

That's the truth. Many were on state championship teams at that.

Justin Pressley has been named the new HC for Carter High School. He was HC at Volunteer HS last year, prior to that he was HC at Lindblom Math & Science Academy in Chicago.

It 100% happened. I got confirmation from multiple parents and players. He straight up lied to those young men.

Because sometimes it isn't just about them. There were 70+ young men who were snowed over by this today. More than half of these young men have already been through a lot and Meadows knew this. I, along with others, feel like it speaks to their character. The young men of this team feel lied to, diappointed and crapped on by someone they trusted. It's not a good look at all.

Exactly. Even after he met with them last Friday and convinced them he was staying...then boom! It's really sad for these players.

Meadows resigned at Carter this AM and told the players he took the job at Pigeon Forge

I've heard a few things myself about this...curious to see what comes of it.

True the Principal is a former band director. The band program has had quite a bit of struggles lately and this past season seemed to take a back burner to football, although that hasn't always been the case. I just spoke to a football parent, their son told them Meadows had a meeting with the players today and told them that he is NOT going to Pigeon Forge and is staying at Carter. So possibly the source at Sevier County Schools jumped the gun and assumed he would accept if offered?

The younger guys def bought in, the freshmen and sophmores. This will be Carter's 5th coach in 5 years if Meadows is gone. I just can't see this being true with him knowing this and having the support he did from a large group of players and parents. It will take the program a long time to recover.

I hope your source is wrong. That would be awful for the boys at Carter.

I saw that...but there still isn't any verified info? Is the person who claims this info on the PF Coaching search thread over in the 3A boards reliable? Some people around here just spout off rumors like they're verified facts.

I'm just wondering how the OP knows this info? Is it verified from PF, Meadows or Carter...is it wishful thinking?

Where did this news come from? Has there been a news release?
