Waverly had a group of players hat was going to be good no matter who coached them. 

Matt McConnell revived the football program at Waverly at a time when it had hit rock bottom.  That’s not directed at Trey Graves either because he had some good moments as head coach at Waverly as well.  
 

In 2014 when McConnell took it over and got the basketball guys out it was a game changer.  2015-2018 when they had the guys like Stanfield, Bradley, Dixon, Etc. they were one of the best 2A teams in the state.  They had some great battles with Huntingdon and Fairview those years.  
 

The program that Boldin inherited in 2019 and the program that McConnell inherited in 2014 were not on the same level.  Boldin has continued to make Waverly competitive at a high level but Waverly football learned to win under Matt McConnell & Co.

Camden coaches decide to leave their 1st team in down 49-0 in the 4th and their best player goes down with a injury. What is the thought process with Camden coaches?

He never pulled them at Waverly when we was up 70-0 on Hickman or any other team. That’s the way he plays. This instance I would say to get them young Camden starters field time just a hunch.

Dang good post. Waverly was very tough in the late 80s through the mid 90s. We lost something somewhere and now we are back hopefully for a while.

When Camden was dominate 10+ years ago, what was their region like in terms of dominance? Was there a team like Westivew (last year) and Huntingdon (consistently)? Camden is one of those teams that if they're good, West Tennessee is good at football. Obviously, they need to be good to help out with rivalry games (Waverly, Huntingdon, and Riverside, etc.) 

I have faith that McConnell can get the job done, but Huntingdon isn't setting the world on fire. Losing by 57 in year 3-4 to Huntingdon is odd to me. Again, I have faith in Camden and their future, but I feel like I'm waiting longer than what I should be waiting on.

Why is it odd if you don’t the have players to compete.

I think it’s odd with his resume that the athletes aren’t getting pulled from the halls they walk or the basketball or baseball programs to play football. That’s what it takes in small towns. I think you know what I mean.

To add he pulled them at Waverly and I know there are some good athletes that play basketball at Camden.

    • As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.  
    • Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality. 
    • I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....
    • I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district
    • I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through
