Then play the girls that can bench whatever!

Rutherford County does NOT start with players that can do any of what you are talking about.  In Rutherford County the coach DEVELOPES the talent they are given.  My son was a prime example.  He started being able to barely lift 100 pounds.  4 years later he lifted OVER 1600 pounds between three lifts and was benching 400+.

Y'all do have the talent walking the halls.  You just need Coaches that will actually get off their collective butts and out in the halls talking to them.  The first thing the Coach needs to tell them and MEAN it is you will play if you are the most talented for the position and actually show up for practice and not play because your Daddy wants it!

Ok ok I exaggerated the stats a little but let's be real about D 1 athletes.  Rutherford Co is furtile ground for D1 players.  In WC we have none and I could not tell you the last one we had.

Not whining just the facts.

No arguments there. Its always gonna be hard to compete if they are in that same region with Oakland, Blackman, Riverdale, Cookeville, Siegel etc.

But still they should be able to beat Dekalb County.

Just not sure what you are talking about the daddy thing.  WC dresses about 30 players and it is all hands on deck.  We have had some good hard working coaches Ray Barnes who worked with Bill Parcells and Boots Donnely to name a few.  Frank Fisher was one of the hardest working people I have ever known.  Present coach Moore has a championship pedigree.  I have watched the Rutherford Co programs since Central was split to Oakland & Riverdale.  I commend your son for working hard, I believe that kids can get better with hard work, nutrition, and conditioning,  I have a grandson that is a great kid.  I don't care how much weight he lifts, sprints he runs with a parachute tied to him or if he has the diet of Tom Brady he will never run a 5.0 40, dunk a basketball, or throw a fastball at 98mph. Genetics my friend genetics.

I CAN TELL YOU FOR SURE THAT ALL MEN ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.

I agree.   Here is the rub.  You ask any mother of a young son in WC if they would like their son playing football.  They will say right quick they don't want their boy hurt (CTE) by a RCS team.  So because they are on the schedule it hurts our participation.

We should compete or beat DeKalb, Coffee, and White every year period.

Have a better place to live and people will come. What is in McMinnville to draw people in to live there? Small town mentality is fine for friendly living, but small town mentality when it comes to commerce and economy tends to keep people away. Those...are the facts.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
