What the city of Memphis lacks in facilities it more than makes up for in atmosphere. First I will start with Whitehaven. If you go to "The Haven" on a Friday night you mine as well get ready for a show, and I am not talking about on the field. The stands are normally packed and rocking. The band is deafening and plays right up until the opposing team get under center to heck the ball. The food is good and the smack talking is plentiful in the stands. It is something to see on a Friday night. 

 

Next is the mecca of Memphis Friday nights. ORANGE MOUND and Melrose Stadium. No longer the powerhouse of the mid and late 90s and early 2000s. You can't tell the community of ORANGE MOUND that. How do you almost shut down a busy city street on a Friday night? Well it happens on Park Ave in Memphis on Friday night's when Melrose has home games. The stands are packed, people are crowded around the gate, people are sitting and standing on the hill across the street at the community center, and cars slow to a snails pace to catch a glimpse of who Melrose is playing. You can count on the occasional "what's the score?" screamed from a car passing by.

 

Now if facilities are what you are looking for MUS is the play you go to when you come to Memphis. The private school stadium looks like a miniature replica for the Chicago Bears Solider Field. When it comes to Facilities they are second to none in the state of TN.

    • 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.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
