where will the meet be held? I don't think anyone has the facilities needed to host the meet. I believe MTSU has a nice track but no stands. (I have never seen it)

 

The stands at Briarcrest school in memphis were pretty packed during the running events.

 

It is nice to have it in the middle of the state IF there is somewhere that will be able to handle the crowd and a state calibur meet.

Given a year, MTSU could figure out how to make it happen if they wanted to. I mean, Vandy just pulled off the SEC Championships in a venue that should have been WAY too small to pull that off. Vandy had to get creative, and Middle might have to get equally creative. I'm sure whoever put the bid together for Murfreesboro has at least considered this to some extent.

This was in today's Tennessean:

 

The TSSAA is considering a proposal that would double the size of the Class AAA track meet, sending 16 qualifiers to state in each event instead of eight. It will be discussed at administrators’ and regional meetings before the board revisits it for a possible vote in November. If approved, the new format could be implemented as early as next year.

 

 

Looks as if they are really taking the track proposal seriously.

 

Now I want to know about our 5K proposal!!

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
