Best wishes to Coach Rankin on his retirement, Well deserved, I met him back in 1990 when he was building up the Murfreesboro Riverdale program. 

His first season at Riverdale, and the only season he failed to make the playoffs there. Went 10-0 the next season and never looked back. I met him in 1992 when he led his unbeaten team to Cleveland to face our unbeaten team in the 2nd Round. Man were the playoffs tough in those days! Riverdale beat us 26-14. The following week they traveled to play another unbeaten and top ranked Clinton and lost. That was Cleveland’s final loss before they started their 54 game winning streak.

Baylor just named former tight ends coach at South Carolina their head guy from what I'm understanding.

Baylor made a great hire! He has only been on USC’s staff two years. Prior to that he won 12 state titles at the Hammond School. Probably the most prestigious private school in SC. I would compare him to Carlton Flatt in Tennessee.

Riverdale was a roadblock to Oak Ridge in 1993 and 1994. especially in 94, OR had a really good team, the best since the Championship season in 1991, but Riverdale was really good and athletic, and OR had to travel to the Boro as they always seemed to have to do and lost 28-7 there, the next week Riverdale won the State Championship.

    • Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton
    • My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
    • I understand Gibson Co. will be announced tomorrow with a familiar name. Not sure about So. Gibson.
    • A huge addition to the staff today! Former Hardin Valley legend and Richmond College running back Aaron Dykes was announced as the running backs coach. Rushed for over 3,000 yards at HVA, with 35 total touchdowns. I loved watching in Hardin Valley. I can’t believe he’s at Bearden now. I know he was trying to get a HVA job, I don’t know what happened there and how he ended up at Bearden, but I'm glad he’s here and believe he will be teaching art class as well! What a good get for the staff!!
    • Thoughts? Gordonsville won it last year with a sophomore pitcher and returned almost everybody. Can anyone beat them?
