What does that mean? Guess demographics are bad for their whole district.

People are always so sensitive about this topic. I’ve said it before, demographics have a lot to do with the overall talent in a specific area. Coaching would be the next important piece. Typically you would look at metro areas as having the best crop of athletes.

Also has to do with there are not that many farm boys around that are used to throwing 1,000+ one hundred pound bales of hay around any more.  In the old days Coaches had their teams out working as hay crews because of lack of weight rooms.  This had two advantages not found today.  First it built up their muscles, and two it built up their total endurance due to the heat both in the fields and putting it up in barns. 

Today they sit in the air conditioned cabs of their tractors putting up round bales!

This was also the time when the T$$AA stayed where they belonged and did not sit in judgment of every aspect of programs.  Also a time of tough Coaches instead of 'Friends and Counselors'!

Anyone remember that veteran of the Bear Bryant school of Coaching at Lincoln County?  How about the one at Brentwood Academy?  Those two gentlemen produced WINNING teams and players of strength and character!

They screwed up hiring mckraylon to begin with. Yeah he knows a little football but he's a compulsive liar and two faced back stabber...i wouldn't hire him to be my manager!!

Sounds like you have a personal relationship with him.

Demographics might be bad but the small class A team in Huntland competes every year.  They are 4 and 3 with 2 losses coming to a solid 2A school and South Pitt. The other loss was state ranked Fayetteville.  Leave the man alone he will be okay.  FC dont have the best talent anymore.

Huntland has never "competed" every year until Reed was hired. They were a perennial doormat that rarely made playoffs. Reed is the only landmark on that programs timeline that constitutes a change in culture. Anyone that understands football in that county, knows his coaching & presence has had a monumental shift in that downtrodden program.

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
