With the Smith Co Head Coaching  job opening up yesterday will Chuck Gentry leave Lebanon?  I know is a Smith Co graduate and still lives in Carthage. Im sure he is a target. 

Better chance to win at Smith County long term.  He has done a great job at Lebanon however.

Ive been digging with the Smith Co guys I know. He has been contacted for the opening. Thats all they know. And he has for sure done a great job at Lebanon. The only better pick for Smith Co Is Gary Rankin. And I do not see Rankin being interested at all. 

I can see Coach Maynord making a return trip to Smith County.  I think deep down he probably sees that the region he is in at Cookeville is almost insurmountable.  But he has done a great job at Cookeville.  He may even still live close to Smith County.  Not sure about that however.

If I'm not mistaken, Coach Maynord has never resided in SC. I believe he has always lived in Putnam Co., maybe in the Baxter area. I agree that Cookeville is in a tough Region but he has done a good job with them, they continue to make the playoffs year in and year out. I dont see him leaving CHS to return but it could happen.

Rankin has already been there and done that.  He was there BEFORE he went to R'dale.

Gentry has shown he will do well where ever he Coaches and would be a great fit at his home at Carthage.

Now the MAIN consideration, how is the MONEY at Carthage over Lebanon?  Is it enough more at Lebanon to justify the drive both ways every day?  How about the TIME it takes for the drives?  TIME is one thing neither school can buy the Coach.  How about wear and tear on his car?  Either school have a booster with a car dealership.........not that a loaner has ever been given to a coach to use.........for FREE.....

Gentry, I believe, still lives in Smith County. I could be wrong, though.

The money in Smith is peanuts compared to Wilson County, so there's that.

I heard of other issues that helped lead him to go to Cookeville, so they may also keep him from returning to Smith. 

But, I would make him and Josh Hackett tell me no.

Either of those guys would be an excellent choice. I'm afraid they're both in better positions at their current jobs though.

      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.
