Hey Ruse .. I was out West and was goona run a couple errands and then go over to the scrimmage at Bearden ..it rained so hard at Cedar Bluff it was flooding ... Fulton buses came down to Bearden about 6:45 ... but fields were soaked .. Fulton turned around and started back to Fulton ..it never rained at Fulton and when they got back it was still dry .. they tried to call Bearden to see if they wanted to come to Fulton but couldnt get ahold of them so Fulton just lined up and went at it hard full speed at each other .. it was the only option at that point ... Fulton now goes to North Carolina next Friday to scrimmage Pisgah in some kinda thing they have over there .. heard they sell tickets to it and are expecting about 3,000 fans .....

Hey Tadvols.

Thanks. I was originally headed to OR, but radar looked bad, so I headed west. Got to Bearden about 6:30, and it was raining/lightning/thundering hard. That lower practice field did look bad, but the game field did not. I'll bet Coatney was not pleased about spending $ on transport,etc. That field would have had plenty of time to heal. Too bad for the kids. Kept going west, and saw Powell @ Catholic. Should have gone to OR/Maryville.

Cedar Bluff wasn't too bad. Catholic played against Powell starting around 7:00. They should have given it a little more time. I would have hated to spend $300-400 on buses and didn't play because someone didn't want to mess up their field.

I hope more than 3000 show up for the Border Bash at PHS. I had to look a little while before I found this site. Our paper up here has been putting little sections about Fulton comming to Canton to scrimmage since about May, so I decided to find a forum to post in. Usual crowds at home games are always above 5000, and rivalry games (Tuscola from Waynesville, and Brevard from Brevard) ususally surpass 10000. The lowest attendance to a PHS-THS game in recent memory was 10,200. In the 2AA Western Finals last season Pisgah played defending champs Shelby in Canton, the crowd was 15 people deep around the fences and estimated at 14,000. Our town loves football and inviting a great team to come in is great for us, and is a great way to kick off a new season. I have heard nothing but good things about Fulton High, and I hope anyone who decides to make the drive has a safe and enjoyable time at Pisgah Memorial Stadium.

I talked with the coaches after they got back .. they just wished they had known it didnt rain a drop at Fulton and maybe they could have gotten Bearden to come then .. I cant believe they played at Catholic .. I was at mcDonalds on Cedar Bluff about 6:30 and it was bad ... flooded streets etc .... it poured down ... what was your thought on Catholic ???

Tadvols.

I got to Catholic about 7:00, lots of water, but light rain @ that point. Only stayed for about an hour. Not much new to say on Catholic. Big, fast, physical. Typical Pemberton team.

I would have been very upset if I had taken a bus all the way to Bearden and the field seemed playable.

 

Leonard.

That field was playable. It would have been nicked up, but not very much so. It surely would have been ready for the irst soccer game:)

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By pioneer42 · Posted

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.

      I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf

      The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..
