Spoke directly to the principal, Mr. Brookshire, who gave me the info. He is part of selection committee. I am no reason to believe he lied to me. Believe it or not.

Well II have seen the emails sent by both Brian Hanley and Jimmy Stinnett so I can tell you first hand that both of the voted for Greg Ryan.  So if that is what Mr. Brookshire told you yes he lied. But I know him better than that so maybe you have made a mistake in what you heard. I personally have sent Mr. Brookshire a request for every vote that was made during this whole debacle. I hope I get it soon. Be cause if all 6 of these people say they did what they felt was right for our kids and school and our community the they should not have a problem with the public seeing their votes, unless they have something to hide.

Public records request...if a vote was taken while a board meeting was called to order, it's required of the board to provide you with a copy of the minutes at your request. They can charge you a nominal fee for materials, but absolutely can not deny you the information. No need to bicker back and forth with he said/she said when you can get the actual vote count as cast.

If votes were submitted by email instead of at a called meeting, sounds to me like care was taken to see that the FOI didn’t apply to the process. When you can’t get a straight answer (or in some cases, any answer) about how votes were cast, you have to conclude there’s something to hide.

This has been a hatchet job from the word go, carefully orchestrated by self-serving politicians and administrators.

I am glad someone remembered that.  There was a turnover on the school board really fast, really sudden. 

Oh yeah, I remember. I also remember that once it leaked to the news stations it really started to come apart. That may be when people found out and got their pitchforks.

Maybe that's what Greenback needs, someone needs to gets a good journalist on this (if there are any anymore). Maybe they can dig down and find out what is going on and expose it for the world to see.

Amen.Thx trader!Nothing more nothing less.Its some all us small communities have.

If I seem to be more involved than I have a right to be, I've seen it happen... back when I was recently graduated there was another high school in our area. Sardis and Scotts Hill were 5 miles apart, with towns very similar in size... both were slated to be closed and consolidated into Lexington (15 miles north) but the Scotts Hill folks had pitchforks and torches at the ready. Long story short, Sardis was closed and Scotts Hill survived. Scotts Hill is still a small, tight knit community and the school is flourishing. Sardis is a ghost town, and the remnants of the school were finally torn down last week. Again, once the doors are chained shut it's over... fight for what you love tooth and nail!

I'm not an attorney, but I can tell you that it's illegal to deliberate to a decision (vote) outside a called meeting. If there was a (no) vote to hire and it failed, you are definitely privileged to see the results. If the only vote taken was to hire (yes) the person awarded the job, I guess you'll just have to decide whom to believe.

Sheriff Roscoe and Boss Hogg did it by email for a reason. Everything's crooked in Loudon County.

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
