Lavergne HC Opening

Not sure what the rest of RuCo has to do with it, but the truth is under Stevens' watch, no team did less with more than LaVergne. They got an instant upgrade with Woodward

IDK. Hester, a great coach, couldn't win there either. I think they are like many metro schools.

Hester got the bottom of the barrel compared to Stevens. I'm not saying he would have went on a run like Oakland or Blackman has, but I think at the least he would have 8 games every year. Stevens couldn't win more than 6 in his best year

Hester also has an assistant who kept meddling.  He wanted his son to be the QB, the the young man had no arm

True. Don Thomas got out right before the talent dried up

Alright, that's fair

Woodward may actually have a chance to be successful as that useless Principal at LaVergne retired today.

The "useless principal" was the one he replaced.  The one who was fired after letting the school go to crap.  Under the new guy, the school has pulled pretty much even with Smyrna High in academic rankings.  Neither one is as good as Stewarts Creek though.

LaVergne under the most recent principal: #200 in the state -  not great but WAY better than under the previous guy...   https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369001987/school.aspx

 

Smyrna... now actually ranked lower than LaVergne   https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369001988/school.aspx

 

Stewarts Creek... head and shoulders above the other two:   https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002318/school.aspx

The Wolverines are going to be much improved this coming year.  The real coach will now be coming out from behind the curtains.  Go Rines!

When Ash was running LaVergne Middle, the place was spotless.  You could eat off the floor.  During that same time, LaVergne High under the "leader" before him was filthy and falling apart.  I can't think of any other time when a principal was so awful that he was actually fired DURING a school year.  There were so many complaints on the condition of the school around that time to the point that the mayor of LaVergne actually joined the school board members in doing an inspection.
