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!

      Clinton names new OC

      I have no issues with the Karns Middle School program.   Good coaches and he's with the kids he goes to school with.  He's a rising 6th grader who had to play with 6th grade kids last year because Karns didn't have enough kids for a 5th grade age team.  He's in a good place at this point.   My daughter is a single mom with 4 kids under 11 years old.  We help her out with logistics, so staying in our own area right now is important.  Once he gets to high school age, who knows what happens?  That bridge will be crossed when we get there.

      I know he was a backup but I thought he filled in well when the starter went down. Never a bad thing to have a change of pace back

      That would be a good get for them. Lowe always finds a way. Pretty sure they have their Rb from last year returning but not that line of beef

      One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.

      If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.
