I'm not trying to stir the pot, just making a point of how some coaches treat their middle school and JV games (dating back to the post you or another Peabody fan made to the USJ fan. There's like 5 Peabody people on here, so I couldn't pick out specifically on who did it).

But Middle School and JV games are devalued and here is why. For Middle School, some kids are bigger, taller, and stronger than others. Some hit puberty, while others haven't. So, the Middle School QB may be the QB, probably because he's the best "athlete" on the field. He's going to be the QB until his speed, reading the defense, arm strength will determine if he is the QB for the high school team. There are so many potential position changes from middle school to high school, because that's when a lot of the kids had already hit their puberty, and may outgrown the middle school players. Huntingdon fans always claimed they had one of the best Middle Schools teams in West Tennessee. How did they workout for them at the High School level? Didn't mean anything.

Second, open enrollment. Kids that attend schools in McNairy, Madison, Dyer, and I'm positive Obion Counties all have open enrollment. So even though one kid might attend Dyer County's feeder school, doesn't mean he will be a Choctaw. He could always flip to Dyersburg for some reason.

High School coaches do not watch JV film. There may not even be a videographer filming the JV game. JV games are more of a "get your reps in and stay healthy." The JV running back player is not going to take the varsity's position just because he is dominating JV ball.

Two more things: I'm not trying to stir the pot, and I'm not a Union City poster

These guys are bragging about winning a 7v7 :roflolk: against a 1a team. They dont care to much for 7v7 in Trenton 

I’ve yet to meet a coach (myself included) that didn’t hate 7 on 7. A program that I used to be with in Georgia ran the Wing-T. We joined 40 or 50 other teams every year at a 7 on 7 tournament at a university, and won the thing most years. Then, we would attempt like 8 passes during the regular season.

I feel your missing the points about player development , we agree on 99 percent of what you said but I know our staff is all VERY envolved in JV ball! Not saying all are but look at our resume”maybe they should be “! I sure thought you had been on UC threads for years  !

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
