The thing that has made 7AAA High School Athletics so good has been evident for some time, IMO, for at least the past 6 years. The total athletic program of the District and for that matter, the whole County has been exceptional. Results do not lie. Mopst of this has to do with great leadership at the schools who had a knack of finding the right people as Head Coaches but finding those people who worked together best whith the schools of the communities they led. There is no doubt of the capabilities of both. These are big schools with a fan base that has high expectations and losing a number of coaches does not change that a bit. Changing coaches at Riverdale is not something unexpected because it is a fact of life with the program. John Wild is a great Coach and will be the same at the next level. He will fit in very well where he is going. The type of Womens basketball played in Miiddle Tennessee has attracted a lot of good coaches. Some are moving on to other programs. Football has been the same way, great programs. Volleyball has been a great example in that 4-5 schools have very good programs with Coaches finding other ground to conquer. Really not unexpected. So some of the schools will have to find other coaches and I can assure everyone 7AAA will reload and do their best. Tey have very high expections.

You forgot Tom Insell. He says Daddy will get him the job.

[King21]

Would be suprised to see Cope, Coleman, or Hodges taking the job. I would think that the Insell family would have some kind of impact here somewhere. Who knows?

[vol4u]

Does anyone know if you have to be a certified teacher to get the job?

No way! Bruce Slatten would seem to be the one most likely to take this talented team as Moore Co. is going to lose their talent after this year.

Stan Gatlin would be a name from the Memphis area. He is a young coach with an impressive record having led Millington to the state championship game a couple of Yearsback. He just finished his first year at Southwind where he led them to the most wins in school history.
