Central, Whitehavan get Coaches

High school basketball in 16-AAA will be as interesting as ever next season, thanks to a pair of coaching moves Monday.

 

Faragi Phillips, who coached Mitchell to its second consecutive Class A state title in March, will be the new head coach at Whitehaven, replacing Lawrence Myers.

 

Phillips inherited a Mitchell program that had won a combined seven games in the two seasons before his arrival and turned it into an immediate winner. The Tigers finished as AA state runnersup in 2012 and reached the quarterfinals the next year before dropping down to Class A.

 

“The pieces are there to have great success and sustainability,†Phillips said. “(Whitehaven principal) Dr. (Vincent) Hunter said all the right things. Winning means something to him ... (and) I’m coming in to win right away.

 

“The main thing is to build a foundation, first and foremost my ability to lean on the Lord. And we have to have committed parents and selfless players who are willing to put themselves on the backburner and lift up everyone else in front of them.â€

 

Central's Principal, Greg Mc-Cullough said John Anderson will coach the Warriors next season. He comes to Central after spending the last six seasons at Overton, a fellow 16-AAA school, and replaces Ricardo Patton.

 

“He had great success at Hillcrest and he was an assistant under coach Patton when he was at Colorado,†McCullough said. “And he’s done well at Overton; his success speaks for itself. And he’s a high-character guy, which is something that we had to have.â€

 

Anderson coached Overton to a 22-10 record this past season, losing to East in the semifinals of the region tournament. His 343 victories rank fifth in the area among active coaches.

      Elizabethton Football

      By formerblazer · Posted

      You didn't spell Greeneville and Elizabethton correctly in your sentence.  4A has the best teams in Upper East TN.  Carter County All-Stars and Greene County All-Stars is the Superbowl now.

      Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl

      2024 5A Season

      By blazer1set · Posted

      I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.

      Prayers for Kyle James family

      By ObseverW · Posted

      Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton

      Favorites to win State 1A

      By cp11 · Posted

      My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
