TheCommissioner Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 22 hours ago, MSURacer said: Agreed completely, but I like how the schedule shakes out overall. It's a pretty good mix of competition. Brighton and Ridgeway should provide a taste of the Memphis football that we would see in the playoffs. I actually like that we are keeping a Clarksville school on the schedule, especially with it being a longtime region foe like Northeast. Brentwood and Riverdale are schedule enhancers. Those are "iron sharpens iron" kind of games. Beech, Hendersonville, and Springfield speak for themselves. Depending on how long this region stays together, those three and us should be a pretty consistent quartet of playoff teams, no disrespect to Portland or Hunters Lane. toughest Region in class 5A IMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacketLover Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 I was curious about how many years Coach Counce has taught. Is he close to having 30 years in, because in Robertson County teachers can retire and keep their insurance, and would he have any interest in retiring? Is there a successor plan in place when he does choose to retire, like the current OC being groomed to step up, or would a coaching search be done? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he has 30 years yet, I believe he is around 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk how long he’s been teaching, but I don’t see Counce retiring any time soon. He’s not very old, and he’s only been a head coach for 8 years. He could easily coach another 15 years if he wants to.

MSURacer Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Blast from the past for any old timers. I came across this on YouTube looking at old Travis Stephens UT videos. 1995 Northeast @ Henry County. It's just highlights. It was a loss for the Big Red but NE was a giant that year. HC was pretty dang good too. This was probably the last "really good" team we had before Gaddis. #34 for the Eagles is Vol legend Travis Stephens, whose YouTube channel this appears to be. The '94 game is on there as well. Edited January 21, 2023 by MSURacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that team well. It was before the public-private split, and they lost to Brentwood Academy in the semifinals by a score of like 7-3. They might have legitimately been the best public school team in the state that year besides Riverdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the 96 team being good but losing earlier in the playoffs than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit01 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 The current Henry County basketball debacle is interesting. The team’s disciplinary issues seem to have finally caught up to them, resulting in the supposed dismissal of multiple seniors on the team. Disciplinary issues stemming from their on court actions, not hinting at anything outside of basketball, I have no knowledge of any of that. But the team’s on court actions this season have been have been less aligned with the saying, “That’s just basketball.” and more aligned with the ‘“just trying to start something,” mentality. No reason for high school athletes to be getting into arguments with opposing teams’ parents while on the court. Meanwhile, the new head coach does not display much sense of leadership in gaining control of the players, at times, even seeming oblivious to what’s transpiring around him on the court. Curious to hear other’s thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
