No , It's not a bad place to coach. I might still be coaching there if things had worked out differently. . I have good friends coaching there who I would be honored to coach my own sons. The point of he rankings was to look honestly at the programs overall in relation to each other. That said, 9AAA is one of the best baseball districts from top to bottom.

I can speak much on funding, but I know Beech, Portland, SC, WC, LHS, and MJ have the all baseball facilities on campus. I know each has a successful baseball booster club to help. Also, Westmoreland also has a baseball only facility on campus, and White House has one of the best HS facilities in the state.

My oldest son played 1 year with Tornados when Stick SHERLIN and I coached the team, and my youngest played one year with John Birdwell. Other than that, I stayed out of it as much as I could.

I can't speak for other coaches, but I certainly worked hard to make the program better. We finally got the new lights put in on the HS field, I helped the FB coaches put down the new turf in the SportsCenter, We got new new dugouts and backstop built and upgraded the uniforms. We also held a team GPA of 3.0 or better in 2007, 2008, 2009. I had a great working relationship with the football and basketball staffs. And we managed to win some games.

In 2007 we were solid. But we lost to a guy named Sonny Gray 3-2 in the district tourney. Thought that year we might get to Murfreesboro, but it didn't work out.

Great to hear your thoughts. Gradual improvements are apparent. You did a great job and I remember the game with Sonny Gray, what a battle.

So, since the season started this week, how is everyone doing? We wont get to have our first official game till tomorrow against Smith County. We were suppose to play Franklin-Simpson last night in our first game, but the principal up there wouldnt allow a game to be played, due to it being the night for State basketball championship. So we were allowed to scrimmage for 3 hours and about 10 innings worth. FS has a very, very solid ball team.

    • I have no clue if Derek tried to talk some since into his dad or not about staying here. All he is going to accomplish is going from the oven to the frying pan. If I were the coach all Ale would freze over before I set back and watched one of my good players leave without a fight.
    • If this is true, South Gibson is taking a big chance. Passing on an experienced coach for a guy who has never coached at the high school level is a high risk move, especially in that district and region.
    • Dorian Eskridge was HVA's best back, 2011
    • Jo Byrns was a very solid team last year. Imo, I thought they presented the biggest challenge for us on our path to winning it all last year. I expect them to be in the conversation and one of the final few teams playing in Murfreesboro
    • I'm not sure you understand anything if you think DB's career and AD's career are comparable.  This is a terrible take.   Not to slight AD, He was a good player and he got better as he matured after high school.   But Desean had over 8,000 yards in HS and was a two-time Mr. Football.
