Tony Williams was fired at Cleveland high school. Never beat Bradley the whole time he was at Cleveland, and East Hamilton.

Gonna make a couple observations and then leave it alone.

1.  Cleveland won 2 games 8 years ago and 27 this past season playing a legit schedule.

2.  In the last 7 years how many wins would Cleveland have over Bradley if Jamaryn Blair and Harmonie Ware would have worn Blue instead of going to Bradley?   Bradley can't win without Cleveland kids and Cleveland can't win without Cleveland kids.

3.  Cleveland put more kids in college with scholarships the last 7 years than Bradley and Walker Valley combined.

If beating Bradley is the measuring stick for success then every coach in the Region should be let go.  

I leave Cleveland with a clear conscience and zero regrets.  Best of luck to the next staff.  The players definitely deserve a coach that is passionate and will build on the growth.

Blair did play for cleveland her senior year.  What happened in those two games  0-2

Single digit losses with Kara Williams out with torn ACL.  I'm not gonna argue.  Bradley is historically and presently the best girls basketball program in the state.  There is no shame in not beating them.  I stand behind the statement that they cannot win without Cleveland Middle kids.

    • Anyone know how the scrimmage at Central went?
    • I grew up watching Greene Devil Football since I could walk and still close with a lot of the coaches so should know my history pretty well lol.  Everything worked out the way it should have but firmly believe McCurry would have won some State Title if he wouldn't been let go (Greeneville still runs the same D he brought here and he let Ballard run the O and stayed out of it when it came to calling plays.  Greeneville was put out in the Semi's McCurry's last year against Maryville and the next year Greeneville stayed in 4a and was State Runner up playing were they were placed for the first time by the TSSAA.). It was definitely a McCurry and Ballard show that turned everything around along with the Community buying in and revamping the weight room and field house. Since Ballard got promoted to HC every Coach after him has been within the Greeneville Coaching staff because your right, they know what it takes to win a state championship.  Ballard was a master mine on O and what i think Greeneville has lacked since he left and let some Championships or making it to the Championship slip away over the last few years
    • Sounds like you know your area history well. Going back and looking the records were better than I thought but mostly still beating Upper East TN schools. Ballard sounds like he came/was promoted at the right time.    I do think it’s no coincidence that them keeping the HCs as guys who were former guys on the staff. Too many times schools want a “state championship” leveled coach from the outside but they don’t know the landscape. Promoting from within will help with less turnover and keep the program consistent.
