oldschoolraider Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I'm a football alumni for Cleveland High Football for almost 30 years. While I have always supported the program, my excitement is at an all time level entering this season. The new coach, Ron Crawford has created a new buzz and hype. He has hired several former players and coaches from the glory days to join his staff. Like I said, I have just heard great things. Anyone with real connections have any news for te preseason?

Lots to be excited about. Team will have a new look in more ways than one this year. Big energy around the program, and the future is very bright. Team is young, but lots of rising underclassmen saw action last year, so there's not quite as much a lack of experience as one would think. New staff is good, positive, and knowledgeable. Lots of input from the past (coach Monroe, Coach Green) as well. The end product will be obvious on Friday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishdad Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't know about Coach Greene...he is the head coach at rival Rhea Co As for Coach Monroe, a player told me that he has been hanging around the field house thru spring and summer workouts. While I love Coach Monroe and am glad that he's hanging around, Cleveland Blue Raider football fans need to be excited about Coach Crawford. just look at Brentwood's football record for his 10 year tenure...playoffs, quarterfinals, semifinals, and 1 state championship (done playing in the toughest part of the state) Coach Crawford is the right hire... FINALLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealstatechamp99 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Ima former player. And never lost a game during my CHS years. As a alum I'm very excited for the future of Cleveland football. Crawford is a great coach that will have talent every year unlike what he had at brentwood. The future looks bright.

DAD1 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ima former player. And never lost a game during my CHS years. As a alum I'm very excited for the future of Cleveland football. Crawford is a great coach that will have talent every year unlike what he had at brentwood. The future looks bright. My son played for Coach Crawford on the 2002 Championship team at Brentwood and I know him very well. He has been a great influence on many young lives in Middle Tennessee and is a great man. If you like great defense you are going to love him. You are lucky to have him and Diane in your community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Old Dad Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 My son played for him when he was still the DC at R'dale in its prime. You got a GREAT Coach and even better man and role model. Will be following y'alls success this year. Good Luck and Good football! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINALLY! sorry, I was referring to former HC Leon Brown. Just got my color chart confused... Agreed about coach Crawford, but it's also nice to know coach Monroe is wiling and able to contribute. He's a great football mind and a very good resource as coach Crawford gets to know the lay of the land in Cleveland. All-for-one, and all that...

ChattanoogaFBFan Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 if this info is correct...it would have to be Carson, Greene, Ingram, or Weir...those are former blu raiders who coached on Monroe's staff at Hooterville It would have to be Ingram and Carson since Greene and Weir are at Rhea if that info is true. But yeah expectations are high at cleveland and rightfully so. Should be a good year for cleveland if they can get past a tough schedule.
