History goes a long way in Trousdale county, but this week the school board accepted a bid to redo the bleachers on the creekbank, a change long overdue! The visitor side is set to be cut in half and will have approx 720 seats, the home side however will now be 18 rows high instead of the previous 16 rows, the new bleachers should benefit those disabled, with new ramps on each end of the bleachers, and hand rails up and down them. Demolition will begin May 22nd, the plan is to be ready to play ball on August 13 which is the Jamboree, the bid was placed just short of $856,000. However it does still need to be passed by county commission on Apr 26. The shortage in school costs due to COVID-19 helped push the board to accept the bid, I look forward to seeing the creekbank updated, and as always GO Jackets!

That is a very good question. 

Of all the places I have watched a high school football game their visiting side was probably to most gracious as far as seating goes. South Pitt was probably about the same or maybe a little less I dont recall. But it was nice to be able to have that kind of room especially for a playoff game.

Yall and Greenback could use an update on the visitors side.

Good luck this year, Yeti. 

Thanks man, we should be decent. I believe after this year we will have a talent drop somewhat. So im hopeful. Hope your new coach works out good for you guys.

Just a guess but cost could have been a factor, and also it will help some of the teams we play in the regular season, where they only have 25-50 people show up and in the old bleachers it would just swallow them up and make it look like no one cares about that team, so it should help with that, with them cutting visitor side, they also are expanding home side by 2 rows, so I’m assuming that is for playoff games for “neutral fans”

It would be cost free to leave them alone.:blink: I hope it works out good for you guys though.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
