Is Munford in Compliance


Recommended Posts

AMEN! To both you and cougarmike! I am from HC and Munford won the game not because of the few new transfers. Yes, they helped but mainly the will of the team overall and their QB stepping it up and not giving up. And I think that the QB was there last year...

 

I don't think this thread was started by a Region 7 team, or was it?!?!? Not all Region 7 teams are thinking like this.

Thank you for your response. Not one game that I saw Munford play did one player win by himself. I bet that's true in Henry Co. as well as the rest of region 7. This fan thinks ya'll are a class act and would love to see a show down in the third round good luck.

WHOP-WHOP-WHOP!!! That's the sound of some Region 7 teams continuing to beat a dead horse. It is just inconceivable to some that improvement can be made by hard work, sound planning, and attitude adjustments. I think that there may be more than sour grapes here. I wonder if it might not just be a case of envy. As I said on my very first post in regard to the Munford -Henry County game, I picked Henry to win but I cautioned all of the Henry County faithful not to put the game in the win column. I specifically pointed out that in working East games over the last 10-12 years that Coach Randle did an outstanding job in game and time management. In close games, whether outmanned or not, East seemed to always find a way to win. I suspect Munford has won several games this year in this manner after checking their schedule and scores. I can also remember the number of days I drove down Poplar Avenue in pitch black darkness and looked out and saw the East football team on the field. I suspect that if you drove by the Munford football practice field you just might find their guys still on the field. Why not just give credit where credit is due! Whether outmanned or outgunned. you can bet all you own on one thing.....Randle won't be outworked!!!! I'm not the least bit surprised by the Munford teams progress this year. In fact...Most people in Memphis expected it. The rumor mill in Memphis is humming with what would it take to bring him back home.

 

Job well done, Most impact players were not in Munford schools last season, legitimate questions, Well great players make great coaches.

I think too much is being made of the transfers,it takes alot more then what 3 players to win games.When looking for a place to live I did not look into what type of football team the school had,however if I thought for one second that my child had a better chance to go to college by playing at a certain school or for a different coach,I would do what it took to get him there.With that being said I would not put him in a school that was worse as far as academics goes.I find it hard to believe that these kids are worse off by the parents moving to Munford and out of Memphis.JMO

Your out of your mind!! I had a long winded explaination explaining to you how simplistic that way of thinking truely is but I've come to realize it would be a waste of my time. I'll just say this because I can't help it Munford is in the running for the region title and Memphis East high is in the running for maybe a playoff slot like a #4. Whats changed from last year to this? LOOK IT UP AND LET ME KNOW!!!

I`m not sure why folks continue to question Munford. Munford took advantage of a situation by hiring a really good coach who happened to be looking for a job. These kids and their families had to make a move to Munford in order to be eligible. I`m sure all three probably did for athletic purposes. But as long as they made a full change of residence, then all is on the up and up. It wouldn`t have mattered if they had moved to Munford or Maryville.

 

I`m sure some schools have looked into all this and if they had any reason to believe that something was amiss then all they had to do was call the TSSAA.

My sentiments, exactly!

 

Folks should just give Coach Randall & Munford credit for turning their football program around. Period.

 

It's seems awfully suspicious for folks to suddenly start questioning the integrity of Munford's football program, the moment Munford ceases to be the perennial "doormat" of the league. It wreaks of sour grapes, to me!

 

I'm very happy for Munford, especially Coach Randall! I wish them much continued, long-term success.

 

The Munford community can finally get excited about Friday nite lights, again.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
