Wait and see i do know he applied for the HV job.CJ is staying at SH @ Patrick is going with him.I hate to lose him. John gets his degree in June if i was SH i would find him a teaching job.

 

I'm not saying you're not right, I've actually heard that too. Just think that would be hard.

Are we talking about the boys opening because I did not know the girls was open?

Boys John is not going to coach girls If im any coach id take the Eliz job .The HV job will take awhile to get bulit back up it took Charlie to long to retire. He still coached like the 60s

Good point. Why wouldn't he go after Betsy given they have good talent coming up and it pays better than the county?

Well. OK. So who is going to be the coach at Cloudland, Unicoi, and HV Boys? Is there any other openings popping up. Why did Epperson leave Unicoi? Thought things were good over there.

 

Check the knoxnews.com story. I heard it was because it was a decision based on making more money so his wife could stay home and move them back closer to family.

My top 5 would be.

 

1.Coach Smitty-In House,Very well known in the community has had alot of success being an assistant with the boys under John English

 

2.Todd Whittemore-Johnson County head coach,has probably got more out of his team based on their talent than any coach in the conference.He's a really good players coach with alot of patience.

 

3.Kenneth Chambers-Former Unaka head Coach,Assistant at Cloudland for 2 years,Very good knowledge about the game and he know's how to win in big games.

 

4.James Buchannan-Head coach at North Greene,Applied for last years position and has a real good resume with what he has done at North Greene.

 

5.Jordan Simmons-In House,Assistant girls coach this year,did a good job with the middle school boys program 2 years ago and has great knowledge about the game.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • 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. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • 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.
