People aren't very happy about her staying, actually. And to tell the truth, i wasone of them after watching stumble to another 0-12 district finish. But i think she may have bitten off more than she could chew for a first year coach. This district is easily one of the toughest in the state and Dekalb girls basketball has never been a roaring success. Look for a very young team to compete in the district in her second year. Not young in literal terms, but as in playing time. There's a good chance in a freshman starting at point guard with Cynthia Woodward being as talented as she is. Don't expect a district victory for the young coach this year though. People just need to give her time, things will begin to change in Smithville.

I am a believer in it takes time to build. The parents and fans need to rally around and support the coach. I'm not sure of what is going on here but being supportive will always help the situation. Hang in there coach, I feel your pain, in regards to playing with young players. Just keep teaching them basketball and it will work it self out.

I think the fans and parents were hoping for an instant turnaround. Thats just not gonna happen, especially in a district with Upperman, Smith Co., and Livingston. Call me crazy, but from what i've seen, Dekalb will be contending for a district title in two years. The youngsters on this team are hungry. The whole time they've been playing in middle school, they have had to watch their high school counterparts struggle. Now they're eager to make a name for themselves.

I really think it all depends on how well the dekalb freshmen have adjusted. The coach is going to have to lean on the talented bunch of youngsters heavily to have any major depth. No offense, but like Dekalb, Van Buren girls have had a rough few years also. This game could go either way, even though i'll be rooting for my school, Dekalb.

    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.  
    • Just read the article! In one statement he says he didn’t know the player was academically ineligible yet he also says he met with a teacher in 2022 to discuss putting the player in credit recovery.  I find it hard to believe a Head Coach doesn’t know a player is not eligible; are they not responsible for clearing them to the TSSAA?
