10-30 in 4 seasons. Has a chance to be decent this year but while I think Stevens is not a bad coach, I think he is the wrong type of coach for LaVergne

LaVergne needs a go-getter for a head coach. Something that will get the kids from the halls onto the football field. Theyre fielding teams of 50 kids in a school that is bigger than Oakland, which has twice the number of kids on their roster.

Holy crap. I just looked and their enrollment there is 3,000! That's nuts.

Didnt know it was that much. You must have a new version of enrollment numbers. Last one I had, LaVergne was at 2,133

Then it probably was wrong because it was wikipedia. Have to take that site with a grain of salt. Still, over 2100 students is huge in its own right. Surely you can find a lot of studs out of that many kids! Geez. They may be sitting on a gold mine there and not even realize it. A coach like Gaddis would have a field day there.

Ooltewah has 4 state championships in softball, and has placed over 25 young ladies in D1 programs. They also have had 4 or 5 state champions in wrestling and also have had a few boys track champions.

 

I will throw this in as well:

 

In 2006 Ooltewah went 13-1 and along the way during the regular season beat William Blount, Heritage, Farragut, and Oak Ridge and then in the playoffs:

 

Beat Science Hill 38-14, Sevier Co, 27-14, Farragut 42-14.

In the semi lost to state champion Smyrna 25-28 @ Smyrna. who went on to kill Ravenwood 35-14.

I was at the game standing in the end zone and I must say one of the worst hose jobs ever. Late in the 4th Ooltewah's reciver caught a ball over the middle and took it to the house putting Ooltewah up, the kid ran right at me as he crossed into the end zone with no one near him after 2 steps into the end zone he raised his arms to celebrate the ball fell out of his hands and rolled out of the end zone. The over weight old ref who was 20 yeards behind him ruled it a fumble and Smyrna got the ball on the 20. Ooltewah held and got the ball back and drove to the 10 yard line and on the last play for the win the DB still right in front of me shoved off ball game over yea same back judge.

 

So the owls have been there, and in my mind should have won the thing in 06.

 

But who care now but Benny Monroe, Ted Gatewood and old nuts like me.

Correction: The Refs beat the Govs in 2006.
