Haywood is not in Fayette Ware's District or Region next season. They are in Region 7. Top Teams in that region will be Dyersburg, Dyer County, South Gibson, South Side, North Side, Haywood, and Lexington. Really tough Region. Haywood's new District is going to be legit too: Haywood, Obion, Dyersburg, Dyer County, Crockett County and South Gibson. Not a cake walk to the region tournament like they have been the last several years with 4 teams in their district. 

I agree completely with this, and you are right on many counts. However, I deeply love and respect what Barry did! I hated to see him leave at first actually. My response to the coaching is more so how the teams were prepped for the state tournament from last year to this year. I found out that in the 10 days leading up to last years matchup the coach only had them practice….2 of these days…..that makes no sense. I’m not commenting on their coaching outside of that in this discussion as I feel the other areas aren’t as fact related and more potential bias could be brought in the other areas.

As far as coaching goes, as a whole Metro Nashville Public Schools are a total joke due to the lack of support and discipline problems.  With that being said both Hume Fogg and Martin Luther King are totally different situations.  Both are extremely good academic magnet schools (routinely ranked in the Top 100 national public schools) where both the students and parents are engaged in the child’s academic lives. I could personally see the coaching staff staying together and the team continuing to improve over the next several years.  While not perfect, the students that graduate from Hume  Fogg have a strong academic foundation.

Lol alright 

I think we will need to concentrate on him and make their other players beat us. I don’t think we can totally stop him. Just slow him down.  We have to put a body on him every time a shot goes up. Half our team are football players and they should be good at this part of the game.
