Thought that myself. He was at SC as girls coach. Depends on talent at Gville. We have it here. Would Coach T want to come? He'll always be a coach and he thinks the world of Scott Apple.

Dude I would drive from Lookout Valley to watch Coach T again.

Don't see Bibb leaving G-ville. He is building a good program there. Who is Coach T, drawing a blank here? Hopefully they will take their time and make a great hire. Alot of talent coming up for several years. 

Coach Thompson. He coached at Carthage back in the 80s. Coached our principal Scott Apple. I think they may have been in discussion but the young guy who works with girls coach Matt Ferrell with TN Rush indeed got the job. Coach T had a state tournament in Tennessee, an All A state girls team in Kentucky and State teams in Mississippi. He's retired in Mississippi. It would have been a legendary hire. His name created quite a buzz in Carthage.

well. you nailed that one. Looks like its Layne Bussell, head coach at Algood Middle School

To clear things up.. it appears this had been in the works for quite a while. Even with losing a region semis game that was in the balance up until the last couple of possessions. I'm not sure that a substate appearance could've saved Trey. And I believe someone has already mentioned it but it was 100% a be fired or you can "retire" situation.

You're probably right. Those things happen. Coach Sanders was a good coach and is a great person. We will see what the new guy does.

Hmm... the new coach should take stock in the manner in which Coach Sanders was let go.

 

They treated a 1st class Coach Sanders that way? What are they gonna do if the new guy isn't up to snuff? 

Absolutely nobody in Carthage I have talked to knows anything about the new coach other than he is a friend of Matt Ferrell. A total unknown. If he goes to Murfreesboro he will no longer be an unknown.

Both are on the same exit plan. By 2028, if not before, these coaching positions will be vacant.

    • 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.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
