Way to go guys. This is something not many people get a chance to do. Soak it up and enjoy it. Bring home the Gold.

 

The Boys were down by 11 at one point but didn't get down and showed a lot of heart and came back and won. Great game to Cates. You are being rewarded for all of your hard work. Just keep it up.

 

GO HOG-EYE

After that Anderson Co. win and getting the playoff, the team took off and have looked great.

 

I agree... the AC game was huge (obviously), going for 2 at the end there to win instead of the 1 to tie really got'em rolling. That win, 29-28, ended up being the difference in making and not making the playoffs... the rest is history, as they say.

This is great for the Wildcats . Coming into the playoffs they had lost most of their close games , and now they are winning all of the close ones .I definantly did not forsee this. Wilson cates is incredible in the few minutes i listened to the game he scored a touchdown intercepted a pass and ran in back the next play and scored the 2 point conversion then later on the next drive he recovered a fumble!!!!! GOOD LUCK in the championship game

Hog-Eye very well could end up 3A State Champions and it took a final minute 2 point conversion for them to get in the playoffs. Seriously, they are ONE PLAY AWAY FROM NOT MAKING THE PLAYOFFS. But they kicked butt in the 2nd season and are now about to take the final step for Livingston Academy Football. This football program started building from scratch about 15 years ago and has taken steps each year since then to get to this point. Go get our Gold, Wildcats!

I think that the statement was in reference to the pee-wee football program. 1990 is approximately when it was started and the middle and high schools programs have benefited from it ever since. Go LA!

 

I don't know. LA has had some quality teams in their entire school history. I mean what about the McCoin era in the 80's. Just hard for me to understand how it was started from "scratch." When I think of starting from scratch, I would think of Red Boiling Springs or what Pickett County is doing. Not a big deal, I just didn't understand the comment.

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
