It looks really great! How do they afford the upkeep? Are they the only ones that use it? Did they get a grant or someone left them a lot of money or what? The paint itself ain't cheap.

 

 

The Turf Management is a department of the city..It's budgeted just like parks and recreation or police department or whatever....Got a fulltime crew of two with a few part-time workers...

 

I haven't see any pics linked anywhere of the inside of the multi-purpose building....The weight room, locker rooms, training room, meeting room and coaches offices are in a separate building in front of the multi-purpose building...

That's understandable when a place like Union City has a population of around 10,000. Waynesboro's is about 2,000. Not much of a budget so one of our four coaches mows our field and can usually get a few guys from the vocational school to help paint the lines. Thanks to a bunch of donations and hard work, we now have new visitors bleachers and a somewhat more level field.

wildcatpride70....For years that's how it was done at Union City...

Didn't UC used to be in 2A?

 

Yes and for a little while we played in 3A....We actually played at White House and at Portland in a couple of state playoff games....

 

When I played we had 650+ in the school....Now it's under 350....

Dang. Was another school built close by or something?

There are three schools in Obion County....Union City, South Fulton and Obion County...OC has more than 1000 kids in school (brand new building..not a new school)....There are two feeder schools to OC that are just outside the UC city limits...There are quite a few kids that live in UC that go to OC....I'm not sure there are very many UC kids that go to SF...

 

UC will be moving up in classification before long because the elementary and junior high is getting bigger...Won't be long before they move on up to UCHS...I doubt UC will ever be the size school it used to be but I can see 400-440 as an enrollment number before too long....

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
