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

Lol. Yes they are. You must have talked to Reitz. 

Maybe from the other end too. I was aiming to ask about him last night from someone I trust, and got "beat to the punch"... just asked if I recognized the name and grinned. Short conversation later, and he thinks your guy and the DC are in, and he's high on the potential at Milan. No way his information came from here, your guy is probably using his contacts to feel out your program.

In no particular order names I have heard mentioned:

Smith

Woolf

Ward

McConnell

Rang

Vowell

A few more just to get people thinking/talking:

Gaddis

Swenson

Morris(could he be coaxed out of retirement?)

Woods

Did I miss any?

If Morris will come back then get him! Is he interested? If Rang is interested, I'd interview him and put him on a short list for sure. He's worth a call and I'd call him soon to let him know you're interested.  Not sure Swenson would leave but he's worth a call for sure!  The long shot and this may be farfetched is Gaddis. If I could get him I would. He's a tone setter and completely changes the culture immediately. He did that here in Trenton even though it was only one short year. He creates a certain mindset and kids love playing for him. I have friends in Paris who have witnessed this as well. The success here in Trenton and the current success in Henry County both started with him and it's not a coincidence. I wasn't happy when he left but I love what he did when he was here.  He has done this everywhere he has been. He's had success in West TN, Middle TN, and East TN. The guy has over 300 wins and is in the Hall of Fame. Maybe he doesn't want to move again and maybe he doesn't want to coach much longer but I'd call him today and find out. Start with Morris and if he says no, then go to Gaddis. If he says no, I'd have to call Rang. Everyone will have an opinion and this is mine.

Wouldn’t blame him at all. There are some negatives but they are far outweighed by the positives.

      Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.

      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.
