First, let me say that I was very happy that the Elizabethton administration gave Coach Dugger the opportunity to coach at the varsity level again. He has the team lifting weights and conditioning in preparation for the season. Several key players are in soccer or have just completed volleyball, so it will take some time to put the team together. The Lady Cyclones have a solid group of seniors and some talented underclassmen. The key to the team's success will be how well Mariah Pietrowski has recovered fro her knee injury suffered last season. I believe Coach Dugger will do well and the team will at least make the region. Go Cyclones!!!!

Coach Dugger has a very capable team, and as mentioned earlier, Mariah Pietrowski's recuperation from last season's ACL injury is vital to Elizabethton's success. Lots of experienced players return, but some very good ones - Michaela Pietrowski, Brianne Gouge, Marti Bush, Casey Crockett, and Victoria Hopson - graduated last Spring.

Coach Weems took a job in the private sector. It was a tough decision for him to leave coaching and teaching, but in the end, he did what was best for his family.

 

Len Dugger will do a fine job as coach of the Lady Cyclones. I agree with coachh17.

The 07-08 team will have a good blend of experience and youth. Im not sure who's strong in District 2AA this year, but District 1AA will have a number of good teams, including the Lady Cyclones, veteran Unicoi and South Greene teams, and an improved Happy Valley team.

Wow, I'm shocked to hear that. I knew Larry Weems from my UH days, with him and Joe McPherson. He loves coaching, but family has to come first. I hope to see him coaching again in the future, if not, good luck to him. I'm positive Coach Dugger will do a great job. Also, does anyone know if Rik Anderson is still coaching? He had some good teams at Cloudland.

I also think Coach Dugger will do a good job. He has a great knowledge of the game and the girls will definetly be prepared. Rik Anderson is coaching the boys middle school team at Happy Valley. I think he has had some chances to move back to the high school level but has not done so.

ScottA, I think I remember you from your UH days. Did you move to the Knoxville area? If so what are you doing now?

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
