Volunteer High Football Out of the cellar?

A couple of years after Coach Rider came in he had built a pretty good coaching staff. Had some really excited young coaches come in. One of the Whiten boys and Casey Sivert (Cherokee's coaches son). Both were great. The team that year went to the playoff, Beat Tn High in the first round. probably the biggest win in school history. Things were looking up. The next year Whiten left for the Head Coach position at John Battle and Sivert left to coach with his dad at Cherokee. 

Coaching staff went back to the old coaches just drawing a supplement. Not near the dedication for success. Not been very good since then.

Barry Jones can get it done but he has to have a staff to accomplish it. With the way County schools do their coach assignments I'm not sure it's possible

I hope I'm wrong.

I'm a big Blue Devil fan. My dad played there, several cousins played there. My nephew was the quarterback on the 2010 State Championship team. and the Collier kid is my brother-in laws nephew. So I always keep up with them and go to several if not all the games each year. Curious how that scrimmage goes. GC should be much improved (may be back to there traditional winning ways) . Good test for the Falcons.

Good win for the Falcons! 235 yards rushing by Sayler. I would assume that's a school record? Only

Guys I could think of that came that close were Sanchez releford and randy jones. Having said that, don't get too caught up in the win because north comes to town next week. Always a tough team and they just destroyed central. If volunteer loses to north, i don't see them contending for a playoff spot. Not with Greeneville, Seymour, Cherokee, east, south, and grainger on the schedule.

Chris Christian had some good games back in the day but I don't know if he had any 200+ games.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
