Anything is possible but losing Villazon, Grissom, Bell, etc.... will definitely hurt. I'd say Marion with Fayetteville and Forrest battling for 2nd.

i love the graduating seniors. truly. but littles bell and grisom are better than their brothers. and fields is another animal. so is tincher. and the new 9th graders are no slouches.

I...I mean....16-17? I don't wanna welcome a new person with a spray of paintballs...but 16-17? Is Obion Community West? 

Ordinarily, this would be a time to come together and celebrate. I guess I will try. For the kids most of all, and their families. 

I just wish I 100% trusted the powers that be to pick this hire. I don't.

In the end, I guess it doesn't matter. What's done is done. He's our guy now.

I hope he has wild success. The kids deserve it. 

 

I personally know Palmer. He's a good dude and a heck of a coach. I would say you guys made out golden with this hire. He's going to do great things with your program. He took a very poor obion county program and made them relevant. 2 playoff appearances for a team that has only had 9 winning season in school history. He's a miracle worker in my opinion

when i was briefly shown his plan and program, i thought "this is simple stuff. ive been asking for some of this stuff for almost a decade. why dont more coaches do it?" 

but give him credit. he's doing it. so far

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
