The death of the Dickson County Henry County rivalry (The Barrel)

[theoldref58]

Shame on both or all people that don't want to keep this one alive and well no matter who is at fault. This would be a major blow to both Henry County and Dickson County if this happens. The School Adm person is from Willamson County and still lives over there he doesn't even live in Dickson County. He wants the school system in Dickson county to be alined with those schools over there a big mistake in hiring this joker. We as people from Dickson and Henry Countries should stand up and say not way. I am very mad about this .

We in Henry County are very sad about this.but it appears that the die is cast Perhaps after 2 years DC will rethink this. In the meantime, good luck Cougars and GO BIG RED.

For the commuities that look forward for the game each year and the students and the fans and the players.So someone that doesn't even know live in our commuity can go back over to where he lives and say look what I have done this is a sad day in both Dickson County and in Henry County.

The school board needs to fire this joker maybe they will wake up after the team goes 0-10 next year.

[theoldref58]

I may not be able to get it changed but they will know I was there and they have heard from me and a lot of people in Dickson County I will rise effort stink they may wish they had listen to me. I think I will go to the school board members that I am friends with and talk to them.

Week 10 was not open for Henry County. Not sure where you got that info. We have a district game scheduled that week, and uhh...we kind of have to play those...

Oldref58... I think Mr. Weeks is actually from Sumner Co., not Williamson Co. and I know he and his family will eventually move to DC sometime soon. I myself like the move to district 11-AAA but would have liked to see the HC game saved, but seems BOTH schools could not agree on an open date. Sad situation but maybe we can see what happens in 2 years or so and get this going again. I do not think the school board will care about a rivalry game against HC, or anyone else for that matter, when their emphasis is on education and not just one football game as it should be. Good luck to HC and GO DC!!

How Sir,can one football game harm the education process?That's a"politicly correct"answer and has no bearing whatsoever in regard to the post made.Just another example of someone detached from the community making uninformed decisions.In order for schools to thrive,administrators should have an agenda to INVOLVE the community with the school.Check the attendance(revenue) for the game on the scedule that replaces this tradition,and you'll understand better(and no,it's not just the money)the emotional ties to both school's communities in Paris and Dickson.

SIR...as my post said, the school board probably could care less what district we play in or who we play on Friday night's, they have a job to do and that job is to see that children are educated in our community and education comes before athletics and that is the way it should be. In regards to the post made from oldref, he said he was going to call his friends on the school board and make some noise, so to speak, but that will not do any good because each school administration makes scheduling decisions in athletics from the principal down to the the AD. Maybe he can call them? I did not say that playing this game would harm the education process in any way at all, so I do not understand how you got that impression, as a matter of fact I said that I would love for the rivalry to continue but I have no control over the situation. Also, if you are saying I am detatched from the community you have no clue at all because I have been involved in sports in DC for almost 40 years in one way or another. That was not a politically correct statement, just the facts about most school boards across the state, and I do agree that community involvment is crucial at all high schools and does make a difference on these kids playing sports, boys and girls, and they will remember it the rest of their lives. GO DC!!
