From Clevelandbanner.com:

 

"Al Miller,

 

For more than 30 years, Al served as a head coach at Cleveland High School. Miller started as head coach in 1977 and stepped back to assistant coach in 2006.

 

Miller was head coach at Cleveland High School longer than any other.

 

A native of Atlanta, Ga., Miller was raised in Chattanooga and graduated from Red Bank High School.

 

During his high school years he played football, baseball and participated in wrestling. He was coached under Dr. John Farr.

 

After graduating from high school, Miller walked onto the wrestling team at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he participated for three years and earned a letter while spot starting. In college he was coached under Jim Morgan.

 

During his college years, Miller earned extra money coaching the Highland Park Boy's Club wrestling team. He also helped organize the Chattanooga Youth Wrestling League.

 

In 1973, Miller was introduced to Cleveland wrestling coach Duane Schriver. Miller accepted a coaching job at Cleveland High School under Schriver's direction.

 

When Miller moved to Cleveland, he told Schriver they community needed a youth program if they were going to compete with Chattanooga area teams in wrestling. During the early years, he coached the Boy's Club Team, the middle school team, the high school team and started and coached the Black and Blue Wrestling Club for off-season Olympic-style wrestling.

 

During his 30 years as head coach, Miller won more region and state championships than any other coach or sport. His teams won 382 matches, while losing 167. Miller coached in Bradley County's first NCAA All American competition.

 

Miller has been very involved in USA wrestling, the national governing body for wrestling in the United States where he served as a Tennessee state chairman for 18 years.

 

Miller has served on the National Junior Olympic coaching staff and coached U.S. teams in tours to Russia, Bulgaria, France, England, Slovakia, Hungary and Germany. Miller is scheduled to accompany a team to Greece in the summer.

 

Miller has been inducted in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame and the Red Bank Hall of Fame.

 

Miller married his high school sweetheart, Pam. The two have been married for 37 years. They have two sons Brett, 27, and Pete, 22.

 

Miller coached both of his sons, who both earned all-state honors."

Star Raider's son played an important role in his high school having its highest fininsh in the individual tournament this weekend. There is no doubt that some of the love for the sport the family shares probably has something to do with Dave's coach. Its cool to watch the effect that coaches can have on kids they may never meet.

      Bearden Bulldogs 2024

      By MissHawking · Posted

      I really don’t get your point. Yes, Bearden lost two superstars, that can’t be glanced over, but if you still look at their roster, they have star talent almost everywhere. I’m sure Jones was expecting to lose players. I mean, it’s been rumored since the days they both stepped into Bearden, but I mean, they still have star talent everywhere, receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive back, running back, not to mention they have two probably top 20 quarterbacks in 6A battling it out every day for the starting position. And knowing Jones, I’m sure there will be another star talent that lands in Bearden this off-season, which, based on hearing rumors, may already be there. I’m not too sure. But Chaz and Brody will definitely hurt, but I really doubt it will affect Bearden as much as you think. Maybe during the postseason going up against teams like Oakland, but I doubt during the regular season.

      Thanks to the people that voted for Clemer for the head coaching job at Greenback.

      The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a  state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.

      Dingleberry needs to educate herself on Clemer’s “resume” and why he has been dismissed at a few previous positions along with his love of milf and cookies before making her final decision on the matter I do believe. He would not coach my son just from the stuff outside of the X’s and O’s. Throw the football inadequacies in the mix and it just adds to the list of reasons also. Just a really bad deal given the list of coaches that applied from across the state and beyond there is no explanation whatsoever other than agendas why he was hired.

      Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.
