That is a huge hire for Obion boys. Dang... Coach Turner has tons of head coach experience at both the high school and college level. Home run for Obion boys.

I agree that he is a good coach but you've still gotta have the players. 

The biggest question for any school in West TN is can they get by Memphis when the postseason comes.

Chester County, Liberty, Fayette Ware still open.

any word on who gets these 3 jobs?

 

We all know Liberty is open but it hasn't been posted on the TSSAA website. 

I can't remember but I think the Chester County job was posted but the post is gone.

Fayette Ware was posted and that post is gone. 

Liberty might be an inside hire from within the district.

Chester and Fayette are probably interviewing if it hasn't been announced and they're not advertising anymore. I don't know who will be interested in these spots. They're kinda like purgatory if you ask me

I hear you. Hope the outgoing coach or somebody has taken care of scheduling and the summer for the kids.

Word out of Liberty is they are having a hard time finding a coach

Word out of Chester County is they couldn't get the top 2 guys they wanted and are close to offering it to someone else

No word out of Faytette Ware???...

Word of Lexington is they are close to hiring an assistant and will make an offer as soon as the girls head job is filled.

      school closing in Shelby county

      By Southtowner · Posted

      That was after the 2nd year of a 4 year cycle.  Since Covid we have been on a 2 year cycle.  So, there really isn't a "mid cycle" reclassification this time.   Idk if there's anything in place to address the issue of a school closing.  My guess is, nothing can be done.  This would be akin to the 1st year of a 4 year cycle, where a school has the 20% +/- but not allowed or even have the option to move up or down.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By thegreatwhite1 · Posted

      No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin

      school closing in Shelby county

      By warmachine7954 · Posted

      It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
