What's the scoop? Has to be his decision, since he's done so well. Whatever it is, I hope they give the job to Ron Gray

I can confirm that HTV. I know the name also, could be an interesting hire. Younger guy who’s been a HC before. We’ll see

So, you "pick on" me?  Sorry I haven't ever noticed you before.  But I will be sure to ask your approval before I post anything else.

Overton is going to be the middle school principle , wants to be home with his family more. If Ron Grey is coach he want have a team next year , and I don’t blame the boys, the guy is a jerk he can’t manage an offense much less the team ! Halls has made a big turn around and I just pray Grey doesn’t keep the interim job or halls will be terrible again

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way, but I have worked closely with Ron Gray and I can say that he is one of the finest men I have known. He was nothing but kind and open and welcoming, and that is how I have seen him treat every player. He's smart and a heck of a football coach, too.

I talked to him last night.  The principal thing isn't a done deal yet.  He wants to go in the administrative direction, but as he told me it's up to the decision of the powers that be downtown at this point.  

JD did a really good job at Halls, in my opinion.  He brought the program back to a competitive state.  He's leaving his successor in good shape.  JD is one of the guys I have really enjoyed dealing with during his tenure at Halls.  

I have talked to a couple of guys who plan on applying for that position.  There will be interest from some solid football coaches.  

Interesting that the Gibbs, Halls, and Powell jobs all came open this year.  A definite new direction in North and Northeast Knox County.

I'm with you!! Ron Gray is one heck of a football coach and a better man!!! He would be a great choice for Halls. I've known him for a long time and whoever this is bad mouthing him in the earlier post has no idea about him.

I also think he did a great job at Halls. I remember they were awful when he took over, but gradually they improved into a Playoff team. I've known JD since I was in High School. He's a great person. I hope he gets a Principal job.

Were Gibbs, Halls & Powell the only Head Coaching jobs that came open in Knoxville/Knox Co this year?

To this point, yes.  Hearing rumors that there could be another one coming open, but right now they are just rumors.

      Why Are They Losing?

      By INoLosers · Posted

      One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State.

      It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014.

      Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
