HERITAGE MOUNTAINEERS FOOTBALL

[scoot91]

Heritage opened in the fall of 77 I think. I know WB opened in 79 and I believe Heritage was 2 years earlier. I caught up with Chiefy a few years back. He had moved back here from Phoenix I believe it was and officiating some middle school basketball. I believe I recall him telling me he had reffed at the juco level out in Arizona. Chiefy had some health concerns going on and unfortunately, I lost touch when my kids moved on from the middle school level to the high school level. Chiefy was one of, if not the, most intimidating little league pitchers I've ever witnessed. He was like the "Bob Gibson" of Alcoa Little League. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

 

 

Yes, Heritage opened in 1977.

I want to wish nothing but good luck to Heritage and their new head coach. I got my coaching start several years ago at HHS, and I love those kids, coaches, and teachers. There are a lot of great people there. Good luck!!!

Congrats to Heritage in finding a new coach.

 

Do you know if Coach Rewis is looking for a job elsewhere or will he stay at the school?

Rewis is working at Maryville college and will be the running backs coach next season.

Congrats to the Heritage fans. I hope Coach Russell is able to get that program turned around. I'd love it if all 4 Blount Co. schools could build top-notch programs.

I agree Solomon.

It can't come soon enough....I can't wait..... /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

The last thing I heard was sometime in May. Coach Russell is still in North Carolina teaching and trying to sale his house. He is commuting about once a week to check on the progress in the weight room by all the players. Seems to be working out pretty good for now since we have the new weightlifting coach. (Waters). This guy is great. I can see the differance in my son just after about a month of lifting with this guy. Hiring coach Waters and Russell has also inspired some more kids to play football again. There seems to be a buzz around the school about a lot of the athletes coming back out to play and a few new ones have shown some intrest. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> Just have to wait and see.......
