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 remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.  
    • Hoping to make the playoffs.
    • You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.
    • He was a bruise but Aaron Dykes is HVA’s best RB ever.
    • I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.
