LV will now be an “open zone” school apparently, with anyone in the county able to go there. Lots of playing time could be available for anyone wanting to move in from a larger school. Could be an up and coming program with a “persuasive” person in charge. 

No such thing as an open zone school. Only open zone school systems.

I saw this article/letter regarding the situation with the LV facilities.

No More Excuses For Not Fixing Lookout Valley Football Field Facilities

Monday, January 28, 2019
The community of Lookout Valley has been promised on multiple occasions that the facilities at the football field were going to be updated, even as far as letting the parents, players, coaches, etc. know that these funds have been secured and it would be started at the completion of the 2018 season. Well, guess what? It's now January 2019, and we still have not even heard from our community leaders that this project was going to be started. The next excuse will be that we have waited too long to begin this project and we don't have time to complete it prior to the 2019 season beginning. 
 
We have had the same facilities for years/decades and these facilities are not handicap accessible.
 
Because of this parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. are unable to attend games as they are unable to get to the bathrooms whether because of the uneven ground, the hill to get up to the bathroom, or, if it rains, it makes it very difficult for the fans to get to the concession stand or other facilities. Even if they come to the games, they don't eat or drink in fear they would have to make the trek to the bathroom. I have seen this first hand with grandparents of mine who made it to my son's games. The bleachers or bathrooms do not have handicap ramps and make it very difficult for someone to get to them. We don't even have a concrete walkway to the concession stand/bathrooms.  
 
The football field is definitely not up to the handicap codes and it's very sad that fans and the community are unable to come to our events and enjoy their time with the sad fact that they can't access the facilities. 
 
At this point, I think someone needs to step up and do something and actually make good on these promises. I think at this point there are many parents, community members, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. that are going to have this same opinion. We have waited long enough and been promised way too many times just to be told yet again that they are waiting until next year. 
 
We don't want to hear any more excuses, we want to see physical change and things made better for our school/community/fans.

      Cane Ridge vacancy

      This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…

      Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA.

      It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team.

      Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
