I have high points and lows for all the candidates.  

Biggest issue with getting a quality coach to stay at any school in our county is the pay scale and the pressure to win.

A coach could go 15 mins up the road to lookout valley, make 10 to 15k more a year with no pressure to win.   They go 5-5 and they erect a statue or rename the field . 

Come to sp. And we boo getting a silver ball. 

 

That was disappointing to hear that at the state game, but I heard it as well.

Chattanooga will be fine especially for East Tennessee teams. It’ll suck for west Tennessee though lol. 

Johnson City (ETSU) would be a good venue as well.   Of course it would suck for about 80% of the state traveling, lol.

Most 1A/2AA/3AAA teams in the western division travel well...close to home would be great, but I don't think it will keep a significant amount of fans from making the drive. I'm actually glad that a "tourist town" with a good stadium got the bid...nothing against Cookeville, but the stadium and field there isn't great.

Agree. Fans will be there regardless. I much like Chattanooga better than Cookeville. Some real good eating joints there. Enjoy Tremont Tavern for a good burger and drink.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
