It’s funny that on another thread I was just talking about Gary Rankin.  He was 0-10 in 1982 as the head coach of the Smith County Owls.  He followed that up with a pretty impressive run of success to say the least.  A diamond can be found if the leaders in Carthage will look closely enough.  

Funny how that turned out...

1st year 0-10   2nd year Bowl game    3rd year playoffs

4th year Semi-finals against Austin East, who I believe became State Champions 

Leroy Thompson who went to Penn St and Von Reeves who played at UT were on that AE  team I believe.

I saw that AE team that year in the state finals in a freezing day at Vandy. They were awesome and their band put on a great show too.

Yes they will as they should. That game was scheduled after Murray was let go. 

With the new region,,,,, East Nash-Maplewood-Stratford and JC,,,the gates were going to probably be smaller than usual. Adding TC and keeping DC/MC/LA  is good for everybody.

I agree 100%. It should be that way. Local teams should play local teams if possible. I was just saying Murray didn’t arrange that schedule. It was done after he was let go. I was told the Principal or the AD one called H20 and others trying to schedule games but they was already full. Murray had already told them no.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
