Todd was a fine man. I met him through the travel ball circuit when my daughter was playing. Kudos to whoever thought of this. He was a great guy to talk sports with and was always telling me how good the Patriot football team was. Coach Renee is a good one too. If she is part of it, it will be a good tournament. I’m assuming it will be at McNeill Park? Several state tournament teams around West TN.
I don’t know much about middle and East Tennessee but from West Tennessee, I would say Bruceton, Westview, Dyer County, Lexington, and possibly Henry County. They lose Lamkin in the circle. Not sure how that affects them. Same with Huntingdon and Kreuziger.
Word on the street, John Wilkins is going to Brentwood. Rebels basically losing 2 head coaches in one move. Will they hire separate boys and girls coaches or hire one person for both? Preston or Drew or a combination or do they go outside the system. Should be an attractive job.
Went to Camden’s play day Saturday. Bruceton was impressive. They beat Camden and Riverside. Scored runs galore in those games. Pesky hitters up and down the lineup. Pitcher is the real deal. They lost to Henry County but only 1-0. Henry has a freshmen pitcher that can hum it. Riverside looked pretty good. Seems Camden is down some.
Bruceton, Huntingdon, South Gibson, Lexington, Westview, Waverly, South Fulton, Henry County
Dont Know much about the bigger schools
all of these teams had pretty good pitchers last year
Never realized it was a rule. Guess cause every coach in Carroll, Weakley, Henry, and Gibson Counties practices from the time school starts. Saw a girl in a restaurant yesterday afternoon decked out in full practice uniform. Plays for a red and blue team about 25 minutes down the road. Talked to her a bit and she said she had just left practice. If coaches are going to cheat, TSSAA should do something about it or just allow practice 365 days a year
WestTN, not fishing this time. LoL. Somebody asked me and I told them yes but I really don't know. Seems like if it is a class then it's okay. Most schools around here do it. I don't have a kid in the fight anymore. So I really don't care.
Sorry for the late info, but Ive been somewhere on a beach, sipping something strong. My understanding was he really wanted the job, but they didn't want to pay him enough to do both. Could be a Wilkins headed there.
