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.

    • 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.
