I disagree with you here Barn.  I miss the good ole days of mudders.  The high school I went to in southwest Virginia was notorious for playing in some instant classic mud bowls.  The 1993 state semifinal  being one of them which included ESPN's Marty Smith on the opposing team.

I haven't seen it on the Tennessee side of the line yet, but nowadays, Virginia schools avoid mud games at all costs.  Sad.

I agree,weather is part of High School football.I like my grass field.

I hope the govs find a way to finish positive on Friday. There are a lot of good kids on the team and a few players who could play for anybody else in the county - but they chose to stay. It was supposed to be different this year with adding some staff and a new schedule. For whatever reasons, it hasn’t worked out…again. Maybe all the good folks in LA will come out Friday and help the kids get a W. I would assume this one is winnable.

Actually, a really good post strongx…. Seriously, we forget sometimes that these are kids playing a game. I do think WB improved their staff in areas in this season…just not sure why it hasn’t shown on the field…. Hopefully WB can get the W!

    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with.
