Heath Eslinger (to much applause and laughter from the crowd) and Max Ofori accepted on behalf of an official who was not in attendance... presented by Jeff Rufolo (who else?).. who has stupendously held the award in high esteem the past 12 months.

 

Young Officials Needed: Don Elsea encouraged high school seniors who do not plan to wrestle in college to become officials ... Mike Craft said that the first officials meeting for 2009-2010 is the first Wednesday in Oct. at 7 p.m. in the Goss Building at East Ridge High School.

 

UTC Recognized: Chris Bono gave a short recap on winning the Southern Conference title (five straight) with six champions ... those six will compete at the NCAAs, March 19-21 in St. Louis ...

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      By strongx · Posted

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      By 1983 · Posted

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
