I‘m very biased, but I’ll go ahead and put Reuter at the top of the list.  Bradley Central. 

I would have to say Reuter and McMinn Central’s Johnnie Morgan. are two of the best in the state not just East TN. There resume speaks for itself.

Some of the ones listed here have lots of wins - but look at the strength of schedule.  Also - great players make coaches look good.  Look at what a coach does with average players.  Buchanan at NG does a great job. The Grainger coach (Bishop) does a great job.  Greeneville’s coach (Watts) is tough but she does a great job and has a tough schedule each year.  The retired Jefferson Co. Coach (Sinard) who is now Cocke Co. Assistant is a very good coach. Birchfield at Cloudland does a good job - but I think they need to play a tougher schedule.

I agree, I think a lot of it is some districts and regions are really bad except for maybe a couple teams, and it makes those coaches look better than they are, that’s why it’s important to play some good holiday tournaments and schedule some better competition if you can, sometimes you can’t because of the driving factor.

I agree Matt is a good coach but yr in yr out he has talent,most of the time the girls that come up to the high school have been taught well by youth club thur Jr high,I honestly can't remember a time that hes  had a untalented team.

I was on the T when Matt first took the job and I honestly didn't think he would do good.  But now that my daughters play for him, I can see how how hard he works.  I don't think most people know just how much he invests in girls sports up here.  We're a family.  I also have a ton of respect for James.  I should've known better than to think NG would be down after losing those seniors.  That team is pretty dang good and we'll have to earn that championship.  I think maybe our schedule had something to do with no one wanting to play our boys because we're so down but we definitely should have been in tougher tournaments.  I know in practice we're able to duplicate game situations because of our talented 2nd string.  We're able to split the starters up and push each other hard.

Slightly off-topic, but North Greene post Miller made the all-tournament team at the Ladies Classic. She's in good company and very deserving.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
