How  does Milan continually have such outstanding football talent?  They have a great coach and that is a positive for continually having a good team. Milan is not that large of a town and you would think South Gibson would have watered down the talent in Milan.

I have total respect for their program.

coaching and community support....South Gibson opening their school back in 2009  did drain a lot of talent from Milan....the Walden boys for example...but Milan just keeps reloading...Milan plays with what gets off that yellow bus...Alcoa and Maryville recruit from all over east Tennessee.... not bound by school zone lines...not fair but the T$$AA rules allow it....

I'm pretty sure Milan is open zone as is Dyersburg. No different than Alcoa or Maryville. There is just A LOT more students to pick from for them,

Definitely coaching and community support. But you continually ask how Milan has such outstanding talent. A lot of people on these boards talk about certain schools always have a lot of talent. Yes some kids are just born with a lot of god given physical ability. But I believe that talent is developed and that is where coaching comes into play. Kids can be coached over the years to be bigger,faster and stronger. 

 

I'll give you an example. When I was in middle school in Milan my 8th grade team went 1-6. We were horrible. Most people would say that team didn't have much "talent". But our senior year (1998) we went 13-2 and were state champs. We had become loaded with talent. Same exact kids. One word.... coaching.

Its going to be really interesting to see how things play out for Milan after Morris retires and Ward takes over. I'm going to get my popcorn ready because its going to better than any motion picture on this board!!!

I like Ward. But no doubt there will be a ton of applicants for that job. Be interesting to see if the administration does their due diligence. Team deserves the best hire. Not just the most familiar one.

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
