That is my fear. AD is a baseball guy and highly unlikeable. Principal has one foot out the door. I liked the hire of Spencer, but I question his hiring decisions. 

When my wife went to Jefferson County they were really good.  Collins boys were there then. Her brothers senior year is the year Jefferson County won it all.

We don’t talk about that team either!

There was a time when Jefferson County and Lincoln County were 2 schools you didn't want to see in the playoffs.

Some parents are doing whatever they have to in this day and time to get their kids in to private schools.  Some feel like the sacrifice is worth it.  

And Lakeway is a D2 school that can offer financial aid, as well.  

I agree because my family went through the same thing. When my brother in law took a new job and had to move to Knoxville they checked into which school would have been the best fit. Although things are never perfect anywhere you look they were surprised just how bad the public system was and almost decided not to take the job until they opened the door to one of the private schools. It was a big shock for me also because I was asked to behave at the football games after all these years.

Jefferson County has the same problem we have in Blount County where people show up at the voting pole and put the same old crooks back into office. You can't expect something different if you keep doing the same ole thing. Half the people that show up to vote don't even know who is running or a thing about them and a few don't even know why their even there.

I do agree on this. Jeff Co as a whole is stuck in the old mindset. Turned down a megasite with Toyota a few years back to save farms that nobody is farming. We need new leadership all over.

Does anybody care anymore? Administration? Community? Since 2000 (Kisabeth's last year), they have made the playoffs just 8 times with only 4 wins. Missed the playoffs the last 3 years. Started 3-0 (against bad teams Sevier Co, Mo East and Mo West). No way a school with over 2400 kids can't find players to be competitive. What gives?

It took a Cocke County guy (Kisabeth) to come there and lead Jefferson County to their glory years. ;)

Is this Spencer's first year? Maybe he just needs some time to rebuild the program? He will need the support of the administration and community to be successful.

Just one, Bob Jenkins. He owns a bunch of 'Yum" brand fast food stores. He has a couple of Nascar teams. He stroked a check upwards of $40 million to get the school started and built.

I knew Bob was heavily involved but wasn't aware he was that involved. What ties does he have to that area to do this?

Pretty sure this is his fourth year as the head coach at Jeff Co.  He was there in 2016 when I worked the Maryville at JeffCo game, and if memory serves that was his first year back there.

Your correct on this HTV. Keep doing those crossword puzzles since your not broadcasting anymore to keep your mind fresh.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
