Tony Long at Lebanon will be good, Tracy Sloan should be great at DeKalb, Eddie Cunningham former Cannon County Head and riverdale Assistant the new head man at Fayetteville.

Southernfried, yes it is the same Tracy Slone that went to Cumberland with us. Great lefty back in the day.

Coach Slone was at Siegel in 2012 and 2013, he is a good man and coach. Great to hear he has the DeKalb job, his son Chase is a senior at Siegel and a Southern Illinois (I think) signee.

 

Siegel also lost Mike Bartlett to Stewarts Creek, another "top new coach" contenda in 7AAA ...

It's probably too early to tell, but I'm interested to see what Josh Warner does at Gatlinburg-Pittman.  Warner's teams at Jefferson County were always competing for championships, not to mention he set a school record with 31 wins his first year there.  On paper, he doesn't have all the talent he had there, but he did bring in former Sevier County head coach Lance Traywick.  Interested to see how it goes...

I agree that Warner is a great hire.  Are there enough great baseball athletes in Sevier County to field strong high school programs in all those schools?  In the past few years it seems that Pigeon Forge, Sevier, and Seymour had outstanding records.

Yes they have.  You would think G-P would be better than they have been.  After their ace pitcher went down with injury last year, they collapsed.  Hopefully Warner can change the mindset, although it might take some time.

    • I really don’t get your point. Yes, Bearden lost two superstars, that can’t be glanced over, but if you still look at their roster, they have star talent almost everywhere. I’m sure Jones was expecting to lose players. I mean, it’s been rumored since the days they both stepped into Bearden, but I mean, they still have star talent everywhere, receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive back, running back, not to mention they have two probably top 20 quarterbacks in 6A battling it out every day for the starting position. And knowing Jones, I’m sure there will be another star talent that lands in Bearden this off-season, which, based on hearing rumors, may already be there. I’m not too sure. But Chaz and Brody will definitely hurt, but I really doubt it will affect Bearden as much as you think. Maybe during the postseason going up against teams like Oakland, but I doubt during the regular season.
    • The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a  state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.
    • Dingleberry needs to educate herself on Clemer’s “resume” and why he has been dismissed at a few previous positions along with his love of milf and cookies before making her final decision on the matter I do believe. He would not coach my son just from the stuff outside of the X’s and O’s. Throw the football inadequacies in the mix and it just adds to the list of reasons also. Just a really bad deal given the list of coaches that applied from across the state and beyond there is no explanation whatsoever other than agendas why he was hired. 
    • Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.
