Summertown Eagles will be 1A.... Less than 700 students 7-12 listed on Public Schools website.... Total population in Summertown is little over 4,100.

 

They will be a force to reckon with in District 12/Region 6 in a few years. Summertown always produces quality athletes. Finally got a sports program for their cornbread fed boys to play. Lol. Along with their baseball/ basketball athletes.... they'll be good.

 

Loretto gets the win.... this team is mTp's final threat.

Yeah they have about 3,000 students

Yea right, maybe if the entire population of Summertown enrolled in high school. lol. I know they are 1A in all other sports, so I am pretty sure they would be 1A in football. But they might be right on the bubble of 2A. I am so glad that Summertown finally got a football team. I've never understood why they didn't have one, especially since they are so competitive in every other sport they compete in.

It is my understanding that a few players will still have to set for the Collinwood game. They are good players, but the next ones in line have really played well. Loretto did not miss a beat last Friday night. In fact, they looked stronger in some areas. I am not talking about the players. Loretto has started to become Multi-Dimensional. In years past we have been a one trick pony. This year we have several ways to score. We have the running game with 3 good backs at all times. Allen, Brown, and Zack. Each of these guys can take it to the house. They are often in the game at the same time. Dalton has some jets also. The Stangs also have a new passing game. It is not fancy, but it will hurt the defense when needed. Rosson has showed me he can lead the offense. He has some very good receivers in Burks, Harris, and Darnell. I think Loretto gets the win. It will be a hard hitting game.

I found this article about the suspensions. I think Loretto reacted too harsh by adding more games.

6 players, 2 fans suspended after Richland-Loretto fight

A Richland football player and a Loretto player that got into a fight in the Mustangs’ 39-6 homecoming win last week have been suspended for three games.

The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association did not release the names of the players.

The TSSAA suspended the players one game each and the schools added two additional games.

Two players from both schools who pushed and shoved while trying to separate players were suspended for two games. The TSSAA suspended them for one game and the schools suspended them for one game.

Two Richland spectators who were escorted out of the stadium by law enforcement officials for screaming during and after the incident were suspended for one game by Richland.

The TSSAA viewed game video of the incident.

“It did not come close to rising to the level of a brawl, which is the first thing that we heard,†TSSAA executive director Bernard Childress said. “No one came off the sidelines. The coaches did exactly what they’ve been asked to do. Basically, two kids fought and the rest of them were in there pulling other kids apart or pulling people back.â€

Attempts to reach Loretto coach Lee Boyd and Richland coach Troy Hughes were unsuccessful

    • 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.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
