SouthTowner: This That and the Other

War,  war and rumors of war.

Peace , peace but there is no peace.

I understand where Pujo is coming from.  Most likely he'd rather see this nation of ours having the Good Lord fight our battles.  Sadly though, our country and every other country on the planet has drifted away from God.  Therefore, needless armed conflicts that never cease. 

I'm not a veteran but my dad fought in WWII and his dad before him fought in WWI.  Love them both and miss their words of wisdom daily.   

Thanks to all our men and women in uniform. To those that have given the ultimate sacrifice and those that have and continue to serve this great country of ours we owe an unbelievable amount of gratitude.   Thanks.

Yes we have skeletons in our closets - but having retired from the service, been on 4 continents and in 21 countries, I have not seen a better option. The price paid in blood is honored each time you cast a ballot, if you choose not to vote, you may still complain about how things are done even though you choose not participate - that is your right. The price was paid for you to have that choice, which is part of the genius of the Republic.

Your years of service (76ish I am guessing) were tough years to be in, thank you for being willing to serve when almost everyone was abandoning the services.

Very good post!

Found this persons highlight on sports illustrated. Kid is special no doubt. Some of his highlights were against Peabody, I didnt recognize the other teams.

Hard to defend players like that consistently. Just thought this was an interesting read. I hope he goes to Tennessee.

C'mon Whitwell.    Who's the head man gonna be? 

I spoke with school leadership about 3 weeks ago and was told they are still looking.  Not waiting, not in negotiations but still looking.

Interesting.  

I tried to PM you but the board site is saying I don't have that capability right now.  The last date of info from Whitwell that I have is from the morning of Thursday, May 7, 2020.

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
