Those from the Knoxville area might have heard that Coach Pennington has suffered through some serious health problems for the past few months.  He was a longtime assistant coach at Halls HS and Webb School and was the father of Chad Pennington.  Please say a prayer for his family as they go through this most difficult time.

I was fortunate enough to work with Wood during my tenure at Halls High School. There is much sadness in my heart tonight. I talked with Denise 2-3 times this past weekend and she was hopeful this last procedure on Sunday would turn the tide in Wood's favor. But evidently the big man upstairs needed someone to sit by his side and there was no better choice than Elwood Pennington. I knew as soon as my phone rang yesterday morning with a call from Chad, that the news was not going to be good. He slipped into the streets of gold in less than 2 hours after we hung up.

 

If you knew him - feel blessed. If you didn't know him - feel slighted, but look him up when you arrive.

 

RIP Elwood Pennington

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By thegreatwhite1 · Posted

      Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.

      Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      If Heritage moves down and Alcoa moves up the best thing for Heritage is to do what William Blount did when theystopped playing Maryville or meet certain defeat. Honestly can't see Alcoa not moving up the way the county is growing. Might be in the Mountaineers best interest to stay in 5A because none of those teams on their schedule are anything close to Alcoa.

      I say over as well. Barney, regarding the move to 4A, will the cross-town blowhards move up as well??
