I feel like metro will start on September 25 no later than October 2. I have no inside info just a feeling I have. With coaches drawing up a plan and the parents/media applying pressure, it'll happen for metro kids.

I've followed your posts for a number of years, and always found them solid in terms of both football insight and an understanding of "this is how things are" factor. Do you see any enhanced risk because the metro teams haven't hit anybody "in anger" in almost a year, and unless they play another metro team, they'll be playing teams that are literally in mid-season form?

I can't speak for everyone else, but I know PC is ready to play right now. Our kids been working extra hard for months, including our coaches. Plus for us if metro does have a season our first game will probably be against another metro team. I appreciate it, I only try to speak on situations that I know of.

metro should make a decision for the kids. as much as it will hurt to not play I think they deserve an answer. these kids have been practicing to play since early july. delaying the start of school until october 12 instead of day after labor day pretty much says it all. metro's answer to difficult decisions is to do nothing until it is to late.

It’s unconscionable what Metro has put the players and coaches through. If they have no intentions of letting them play, which seems the case, they should say it and let them move on. 

Metro athletes are being used as political pawns and its unconscionable and disgraceful. News 2 just did a story on the players. Long overdue.

Right. My son plays football at Lindsey Wilson and the NAIA came out and moved the season to spring the coach just has them doing workouts and conditioning, not hitting or practicing. I know college and high school is a bit different, but for the kids sake they should just let them know and not play the string  with them. One thing Covid has shown is officials will milk out anything they can and be totally unfair to the ones involved

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
