Bolivar is very young as well. Very talented in the skill positions but young ( and small) on both lines. I think these teams are similar and I hope to see a good game. BTW, as a poster already mentioned, I don't remember ever playing Covington in football. I like the new region this year. It's nice to see some different teams and building some new rivalries. Should be fun......and Thank God for football season!!!

Thanks guys..

Ok, I met him about 15 years ago when he was at Lane. Nice guy and will be missed. Galilee, on another note, do you know the schedule for the Whitehaven Kickoff Classic?

Did he used to coach basketball at Lane College?

This..

Varnado is a beast. Very skilled player..

WOW!!!!! Some good ole West Tennessee AA basketball talk. I've been missing that. Anyway, I'm a Bolivar guy so I don't have to pick a side in the Haywood-Southside debate. But, I think everyone is making the same point, which I agree with.....................Southside has the better starting 5 and Haywood has the best depth. It will all shake out over the next 6 weeks. Should be fun...

Isn't this assistant from Northside that people are referring to also a JCM alum?

Does anyone know why the administration made this coaching change? By all accounts, Coach Edwards was popular with the players and parents. What was the problem?

I wonder if the CPA administration and staff have given any thought to playing up to AAA? I'd like to see them have a shot at the big boys from Memphis. Just a thought..

KWC, Honest questions... I don't want to threadjack, but you seem to be up on the Memphis High School sports scene. Can you tell me what happened to Melrose football? I'm sure they still have athletes in OM. And what happened to Treadwell High School. Thanks, and I'll hang up and listen..

Can't wait! (Bart Scott voice)

What happened to Melrose? I don't follow these boards as often as I used to. I just noticed that they haven't won a game. I remember when they were the best team in Memphis. Are they gonna go the same way as Treadwell Basketball?

True story.... I once saw a coach make a brilliant move when his team was getting blown out. It was an obvious mismatch and everyone in the gym knew it. The better team started out pressing and the weaker team literally could not get the ball past half court. It was about a 30 point lead at the end of the first quarter. Well, the better team started the 2nd quarter pressing and the other coach told his team to GIVE THEM THE BALL. That went on for about 4 possessions. The weaker team would inbound the ball and just hand it to the better team and let them make layups. The kids were like "What?" I thought it was brilliant and the other coach called off his press. There was absolutely no need to press this team and even in a loss, everyone in the gym knew who had gotten outcoached..

It wouldn't surprise me if McNairy and/or Southside won on the road......also wouldn't surprise me if Liberty and/or Bolivar lost in the regional tourney. From a talent perspective, all four teams are pretty close and neither is dominant like Bolivar and Liberty were from 2004-2007...

I think they need a basketball coach too. Anyone know what's up over at JCM?

Coach Terrell Green....Liberty Technical High School's Asst Coach. He's been an assistant on 3 state c'ship teams and many feel like he would make a great head coach.

I thought he would get the Liberty job last year..

Anyone have the latest on this job and on what Coach Craig is gonna do next year? He shouldn't have to look very long..

Ehh.... Haywood hasn't done much recently. But I do agree that they have some talent....Sorta like Fayette Ware. Both have talent every year, but can't seem to put it together.

Giles County. I still remember the night they robbed Bolivar. Tough, tough place to win a game.

What's going on at Melrose? Is this just a down year or has the talent run out in Orange Mound?

Coach Tippet is great. His White Station teams were as fun to watch as a college team.

Gutsy hire.......but then again, so was Dexter Wms a few years ago.
