2 of 10 Memphis area high school sports storylines to watch for 2018 (Varsity Football)

Gray has a shot to do something no one from Shelby County has done — win three Mr. Football Awards. If he does, the Lynx have a great shot at winning their third straight state championship, which also has never been accomplished by a local school. Additionally, Gray heads into his senior season with 84 rushing touchdowns, 31 away from breaking the all-time state record.

Major Wright, Central football

White Station football was a non-factor before Wright took over and built the Spartans into a power. Same thing with Raleigh-Egypt. Now after leading the Pharaohs to a 12-1 record in 2017, Wright takes the reins at Central and for once won't have to build from the ground up. With Defensive linemen Eric Gregory and Trevis Hopper and receivers Shemar Nash and Darin Turner boasting multiple FBS offers as underclassmen, it will be interesting to see how the Warriors respond to their new coach.

      The New Word of the Day at Maryville High is Tuition.  Everytime the superintendent hears about the yellow paint on the football field he gets Tuition he could stick that can of paint up someone's behind.

      GoFundMe for Blackman Freshman with Spinal Cord Injury

      By mat73557 · Posted

      QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
