Good morning Senator. You didn't respond to my earlier request so I assumed you missed it. What can you tell me about the Kirby area? Parking? Tailgate areas? Eating recs?Safety?Look us up pregame- would love to visit with you again.

    GO BIG RED

Oh, the parking can get tight with the right sized crowd. As you may or may not know, the high school has been under construction since September so the parking may be a bit tighter than normal.  Eating, there are plenty of good chain restaurants out in the east Memphis area. You'll be able to find what you would in any high population area. I'm not from East Memphis so I can't give too many insights to the mom and pop type spots besides A&R Bbq (best BBQ in Memphis imho) located on Hickory Hill near Winchester as well as Southern Hands on Winchester (some excellent soul food)! 

Kirby is as safe as the Haven to me. There are some nice houses around that neighborhood.

 

Hope that helps

I think that's the year Melrose had that incredible O Line and they gave it to Graig Cooper (the best running back in the state that year) like 4 or 5 times the whole game

You are correct! And after that, Henry County started beating Melrose in the playoffs each year we met. I think Coach Flowers left Melrose on account of that. Of course that was only hearsay at the time 10-11 years ago. I am sure that Coach Flowers remembers Henry County WELL...

Thanx, Senator. Any chance we'll see you at the pregame?

Oh yeah. We had some epic battles with the Golden Wildcats!

We stole the hut with Melrose in the victory formation, ran it in for a touchdown and the win.  Greatest game ending play in football history at any level.  I double high fived people I never saw even clap at a game in years.

I'm in complete agreement! That was an absolutely EPIC ending to the game! One for the ages!

Ranks up there with the Immaculate Reception. Never seen so many people celebrating...and then asking "What just happened?!"

Mr Shonte Sims took that hand off from the safety position. definitely what just happened moments and one of my favorite Henry County come backs to seal the win

Second time this year an assumed Patriot fan has predicted against us.  I don't recall this happening in my  Coach T tenure.  

What about you OldDevil?

It doesn't matter who picks who really. Everyone has opinions. I can see this game going either way at this point.

    • The Sheriff has agreed to provide help.  Waiting on Mr Basketball…… @Sackmaster50 and @AlphaNiner are in the cupboard. 
    • Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.
    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
    • Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.
