Coach B.

Thanks for the info. I like some variety in the competition. It puts some spice in the game seeing new sites and competitors. Passing leagues with different schools keeps the game exciting.

Sorry I am not following. Endsworth High Schol in Nashville?

Ensworth?

Thanks for the info everyone. I hear that Tuscola High School(North Carolina) has had several "Border Bashes". Are they having one in 2009?

What is a border bash in football?

Unicoi Co. 70, Claiborne Co. 49

Six(6) interviews were held today. No other interviews were granted. Selection to be forthcoming. When? I do not know. Coach b.

I haven't heard anything about either one. Mike White("stick-daddy") coached here(Unicoi Co.) in the late 70's. I coached against him while I was at Sullivan Central. He passed away several years ago. I have met and coached against his son Nick in track and field when he was at LC. Fine man just like his father. I believe he is at Maryville as an assistant. In the system(UC) applicants granted interviews are: Glen White, Nick Lingerfelt, Jared Huskins, and Ben Evely. I have heard about others outside the system but do not know for a FACT if interviews have been granted. Respectfully yours, Coach b.

Fact-Some of the candidates have received interview times and dates. I do not know if all have. Coach b.

FACT-6 CANDIDATES, RUMOR-15 APPLICANTS SO FAR. Fact-the deadline for applications and resumes was extended through today, 11/25. Coach B. (not an applicant-fact) UCHS

I did not say that a "homer would get the job. At this point my personal opinion is, and I bow to the higher authority, only GOD knows who the next head coach at UCHS will be. Several of us are praying that the RIGHT person be selected. Coach b. FCA Huddle leader Teacher Coach UCHS

Here's the FACTS from someone in the school system. The head football coaching job has been posted. The Director of Schools is taking applications and resumes through Nov. 20. The Director and the board hopes to fill the position by the end of November. Several "homers" have applied and there are RUMORS of others from NE Tennessee and other places. Respectfully, Coach b. UCHS

YOU have too much class to have said that. "Whoopins" I can stand. We've had lots in Unicoi co. Disrepect....that is another matter. Thanks Etown for the motivation. Coach b.

No respect. I wouldn't have said anyting like that to you. But...one of these days, theBlue Devil track and Field will defeat Elizabethton. Hopefully in my coaching tenure. Very repectful of all our opponents (please take note), Coach b.

Hi mom and good luck to you in Texas. Send my regards to Jared in Iraq. Not coaching football this year but still the track and field coach at UCHS. I wish much succes to North until they meet the Blue Devils. You know my blood runs blue and white. Sincerely, Coach b. Hi mom and good luck to you in Texas. Send my regards to Jared in Iraq.

Thanks for your support of doing what is right. Coach b.

We were told by the Executive Director of the TSSAA, in our track rules meeting several years ago, to give the athlete an opportunity to comply with jewelry and uniform rules at the site of the events they are participating in. Sometimes even when given they opportunity to comply they either adopt an "attitude" or won't do it and go running off to their coach (to complain about the coach running off the event) who should know the rules and enforce them before the meet even starts. It seems to me like " me-itis" from some athletes. I will do what I want when and how I want to. nobody is going to tell me what to do. Thank God that the majority of them are rule abiding. What are the rule breaker's coaches doing? I am a H.S. coach and have been for 19 years. Get control of the "me-ites".

I would like to thank all athletes and coaches who participate in track and field, a great sport, who comply with established rules. Unfortunately there are those who compete who feel that the rules do not apply to them. The "Rule" book, that every school and track coach should get from TSSAA/NFHS etc., has rules that apply to all meets. It becomes ridiculous when meets have to announce about halfway during the meet that athletes will not be allowed to compete with jewelry on. The coaches meeting before the meet addressed that issue along with other BASIC rules. Those who choose to stand for what is right, keep standing firm. Coach b.

Sorry that should be USJC. We just know them as University High at East Tennessee State University. Please...no disrespect was intended. We are very happy to have them back in our small A-AA conference. they will make us better as a conference. Coach b.

It is true that UHJC has track teams. The coach has attended our conference meeting. Coach b. Unicoi Co.

Thanks etowntrack21. Let's try to qualify as many people as we can from the Northeast Tennessee schools so we can have a fine showing at Sectionals(at Sullivan North)and at STATE (Murfreesboro). Coach B.

No rescheduling. Everybody goes on to North Regionals(Subsectionals) at Gibbs on Monday. Good luck to Northeast Tennessee teams at this meet. Safe travel to all . Coach b.

Good luck to all and pray for good weather for tomorrow. Coach B.

Thursday, April 12, at Tennessee High, Bristol, Tennessee-3:30 p.m. Looks like great weather. Good luck to all teams and competitors. Now the actual real performances will speak instead of the "talk". Coach B.
