That is what everyone said when it happened. The prinp. said he want to take the program in a different direction. He was true to his word.

OK, so what are we talking about here? Is it $140 for a plastic ring that won't last a year or is it for a ring? Do they need money or don't they? I know nothing about this school but someone just post what they need. The 3rd string tackle should have a ring just like the star of the team.

Cooley retired from the Memphis school system. Been knowing about it since last year. As far as new coach, no word as yet.

We have the same rules, if you move into another zone you don't lose any time, if you just transfer you lose a year. Your other problem is kids playing?? In Memphis area they start playing in leagues in the 3/4 grade and I'm not talking about YMCA flag football. Good many of the middle schools have teams and have a playoff at the end of the year, same for freshman teams and jv teams. When my g/son was a freshman he had 3 games a week. Now he only got in one varsity game (maybe 2) but he was always in 2 games a week. Sounds to me like ya'll don't get them into sports early enough.

I don't think that anymore players from Melrose will leave for that reason. It may happen at some of the other schools but I have my doubts about that. All Melrsoe needs is for the coach to stay and find a kicker. If these 2 things happen then I don't see anything stopping them from going to state next year. I read somewhere on here that they were only losing 5/6 players this year. I don't know if this was the starting of something for Henery Co. and Munford or just their one year of fame. But the road to state goes through Melrose next year.

I saw the Go Pats post then the next thing I know is the whole thread is gone. Even the Moms post stayed on there for a day or so. Somebody said something real bad real loud for them to take it down so fast.

They did just that.

My understanding is that a student has only 8 semesters to play sports once he starts the 9th grade.

We went to Rogers 2 years in a row and they had nice stuff, went to Hopkinville, Ky. and it was very good. Both were head over heels above anything around Memphis (public), but nothing like any of these. Wonder how much the dues are for these booster clubs?????

Well let's see, there is his parents, his school, team mates and that little of bitty school just south of here called L S U.

Don't you mean FEET?

And the answer is: Jasper

Looks like the voters were smart enough to average it out if Aaron had played the whole 10 games. Wish we could have been 3 for 3 but that would be asking for too much cake. Is Jasper the first 2 time winner??? Not just a kicker but anyone??

When I moved to Tn. I didn't understand it myself. But over time I came to see that it is fair. Regular season get you to the playoffs. You go 10-0 you are sure of 2 home field games then the odd/even year thing kicks in. As a fan we may not think it is fair but the rule is there year after year and it doesn't favor anyone. Best you can hope for is to be a 1 seed two years in a row and win your second season games and it will equal out. Anyway, most kids like to travel because it gets them out of school for 2 days. Heck, if you are playing the 3/4th round just load up, take a trip and be happy about it. Alot of teams and fans would love to be in your place.

I agree with you. Are you going to the game? I'm not going to make it, all the in-laws came in town to shop. Not healty to bail out and go to a football game that the g/son isn't playing in.
