As alot of you may know coach Hughes is the baseball coach and the middle school football head coach and has been an assistant on the high school team.He's a good coach and very knowledgeable of the game.He is probably gonna be better than anyone they have had up there in a long time.From what i understand if he didnt take the coaching job they were going to do away with football all together.

Congrats to Troy. What he will hopefully do for Richlands sake is get some of the athletes out of the halls and on the field. But the only way to keep them on the field is have a successful program quickly. Takes year long work and the players have to buy into that or you are back where you started. I personally would have rather seen the program fold and the players co-oped at GC, but I am selfish that way. We have gotten a few Richland players in the past, just think if we were getting all of them. Revive Richland football has its hands full, Good Luck to you guys and Coach Hughes.

Off to a good start imo.

 

Posted on January 13, 2012

 

Former Giles County High School football standout Joseph Dunavant will do several weeks of practice teaching at Richland School beginning next month. Head football coach Troy Hughes wasted no time asking Coach Dunavant to work with student athletes in the off-season weight lifting program.

 

The Richland School football program received more good news last night as the Giles County Board of Education approved Dunavant as a volunteer coach.

 

Fourth District School Board member Don Story made the motion for approval of Dunavant and the vote of the Board was unanimous.

 

Dunavant has been a regular on defense and special teams for the U.T. Martin Sky Hawks for the past five season and is very knowledgeable of the game. He has spent five seasons playing college football in the defensive secondary.

 

Richland football coach Troy Hughes has already called on Coach Dunavant to aide the Richland football off-season program, in the weight room as well as with off-season conditioning.

So what can we expect from coach hughes? What kind of a system will he run? Is he a defensive or offensive guy? What has he done in the past?

 

Should have pretty good punt catching ability. Not that Richland will field many punts.

Neither will/would happen. Best you guys can hope for is Ricky Taylor success. Unless he turns into Lou Holts, taking a tried and true baseball guy that never played a down of football, never studied the game except for Thursday nights but was just glad to be a part of it is never going to yield results. They will never shut down Football at Richland!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
