To insinuate that Milan has just played with "what gets off the yellow bus kids" is laughable. You seem to forget about Milan having to Forfeit games a few years ago for playing a kid who did not even live in Gibson County much less Milan. Just my one example leaves your argument laughable. However we are not here to have a public/private debate on this thread.

labeling Milan over 1 incident that happened years ago is even more laughable...you must be a private school lover....and list your other "examples"....

I personally have been really hesitant to post anything about this situation. I live in the area, and I have nothing but respect for Milan football. They really are a blue chip football town. They are

The loser here is Milan. Gave the guy an opportunity and get no appreciation, credit whatsoever. Make a change and get accused of what they certainly proved was not the case. Milan was 6-6 and several

Go watch a Milan game from the last 2 years, it'll make complete sense then. You don't get time when you go 6-6 with the talent Milan had

Open school zones put that dead horse to bed a few years ago. I always heard that Earnest Fields lived in Wingo Bottom and should have went to either West Carroll or McKenzie.

My example was just over the one incident that they were "caught" on. You made a statement and I responded with facts. Whom I support is irrelevant to this discussion. Recruiting, either legal or illegal, is not the point of this discussion. We both need to stay on topic. The point you brought up can have its own thread and if you would like to start one I will be happy to talk to you about it there.

I'm not so sure that I would put usj on that list. Sure they have a nice turf field and great secondary personalities such as locker rooms and such. What would make usj not such a great job opening would be many of these self-entitled parents and certain boosters for that school. They eventually got Marley and it only took one year for them to run off Mickey's replacement. Perhaps your friend will have better luck in dealing with that circus. Time will tell

He's a master at dealing with people... having said that, I agree with you completely (believe me, he was warned)!!!

These three teams/schools come to mind for different reasons. On the outside looking in, Dyersburg has it all... Pay, facilities, athletes (to a point), and support. The "support" is a double edged sword though, and I'll defer to a post made 50 minutes ago by a "supporter". Stowe had a devastating injury to his best player, removed a large part of the rest for disciplinary reasons, and had a bad season because he did the right thing... now this "supporter" want's someone to "please take Stowe"...SMH. Milan is obvious. The only drawback to the job at all is scheduled to be fixed soon, and their fans will back their coach (at least to the public) beyond reason. USJ has mountains of upside. Anything needed can be had, and they have a city at their disposal to acquire kids from. If the administration has learned anything from the past two debacles in dealing with coaches, the only thing remaining would be teaching their fans that supporting their team does not mean writing a check.

I do understand your thought process and agree. However, we both know that there are certain factions out there that think they are above the rules and that because they wrote a check that they get to dictate policy. Again, let's discuss this topic on another thread. We are both being drawn into hijacking This Thread away from its main purpose. LOL

As usual, you are spot on!

      Pemberton Leaves Rhea for Campbell County

      That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4.

      I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.

      during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By thegreatwhite1 · Posted

      Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.
