I just wish that administrations realized that a successful athletic program can carry over into the school academics. I think every program and phase of school is important and lends itself to a grea

As a side note, I never understood why McGavock, one of the largest high schools in the state, has never been a power in football or basketball power even at the Metro level.

 

Uhh...might want to check back a while. "Never" is a terrible qualifier, if you've been around here more than 25 years or so. Since then....they've had their struggles.

 

Ask around about Wes Elrod and Joe Allen...:)

I don't have to ask about Coach Elrod. I graduated from Maplewood in 1981. Coach Elrod was HC there before he went to McGavock. So okay. I guess McGavock was a District 12 power back in the old NIL days.

Problem at HL are those geniuses in the administration. You had the best coach for the program you will ever have in Campbell. Disciplined team which was a consistent winner. The principal there must have friends in high places to keep her job.. The new coach will get zero support from her, good luck.

No offense guys, but TPS was never a "Metro" school. It was operated solely by the state of Tennessee.

 

Hunters Lane suffers from a principal that does not value athletics as part of the high school experience. You can dress that up anyway you like it, but it ain't gonna change. PERIOD.

 

I won't "dress" anything up. Things are meant to change and if HL makes the right hire then I would expect their football fortunes to definitely change for the better.

What you are failing to understand is it is not the football hire that really matters here, it is the principal. The downturn of HL's fortune just so happened to coincide with her coming over, tigers don't change their stripes.

I would tread lightly in regards to Hillsboro. They graduated 35 seniors, and only have single digit juniors (next year's seniors) returning [somewhere around 5 total]. The other sad part about that is the way the principle handled the situation last year. He fired the previous coach who got a total of 2 coaches hired in the building in 3 years. Clayton, has a total of 5, in less than one year. Simply put, he screwed the last coach. Rumor is Clayton is leaving anyways, headed back to Williamson Co.

 

Cane Ridge, made the biggest turn-a-around. They should be consistently good, with the athletes that they will continue to get. Likewise with Antioch. But as good as Cane Ridge supposedly was, they were embarrassed at home in their first playoff game.

 

In regards to Hunters Lane, while I do not know CF, it sounds like there is enough hype around him, but do not understand why he would want to leave a winning program to completely start over and rebuild one. Hunters Lane won't start winning at least for another 2 years regardless of the hire, but I expect them too. Campbell was a good coach at Hunters Lane, and there is rumor that a former Head Coach, a then assistant with Campbell is interested in the job. Perhaps he could turn around that program.

 

Cheers boys!

I did hear Clayton is interested in Indy. God bless whoever it is at the Lane.

Metro rumors this thread is about Hunters Lane. But since you brought up others, Shrader did not screw Moreno. Moreno did not win and so Shrader went in a new direction. Also, Shrader helped Clayton to get a good staff. The former principal was more responsible for Moreno. Cane ridge was more successful than they have ever been. The staff has much better coaches all around. Will the success continue, I don't think so. I see them behind Overton, Antioch, and Hillsboro. If Clayton leaves Hillsboro the job will be filled from within.

      West TN Head coach jobs

      By sportslover88 · Posted

      20 but had 5-6 not dressed every game. It went down towards the end due to injuries and obviously only 15 got to dress for the state tournament. Then, they only lost 2 from this year and gain 8 from the middle school for next year

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By oridgecat · Posted

      As somebody mentioned before, this is going to result in a massive lawsuit, can you imagine professional "educators" actually having the conversation about getting "the bad kids" out of the high school?  And the head coach asking directly to change grades, gets turned down, comes back again and gets it approved?  This is unbelievable.  In addition to the lawsuit, the state Department of Education is going to come down extremely hard on this.  WYSH is on the war path.  There could be dozens more lose their jobs by the time this is over.  And yeah the real shame is the kids being affected that literally had nothing to do with this and actually worked hard to earn their grades.

      I've heard Powell from someone who talked to him. I saw the kid two days ago and I should of pulled over and talked with him and wished him well where ever he goes. It will be a ale of a loss for us because I don't believe we have anyone in the stable good as him from what I seen in the spring.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By boyfromsi · Posted

      I would have to think that the firing of the 2 teachers is just the beginning of future moves.  If not, it is woefully short.  If the AC school board thinks that the damage is just limited to Clinton, they are sadly mistaken.  Any outsider would view the whole school system as suspect, and rightly so.

      Yeah. AC brass walked in to the building at Clinton and suggested that the principal start changing grades.  Honesty, the notion that anybody at AC was involved is just idiocy.  The ones who are hurt most are the kids who weren't involved in the cheating, but still are being penalized by college admission decisions and scholarship consideration simply because they went to a school that was involved in such a scandal.
