Dyer County?

[Guest Phisherman]

Has Garner left Dyer County? Word on the street is that he resigned this week!

It was reported in the Union City Messenger on Friday that he resigned and that interviews had already started. One of Pratt's assistants at Crockett Co. was mentioned as one interested in DC but I've forgotten his name. Lynn Garner is pursuing the Lake County job I understand.

Why is he leaving DC?

Football seems to have taken a backseat to Baskeball in Choctaw land. Garner is a good coach, but things just werent right for him in DC, evidently. If he is looking at Lake County, he could be just like Pratt in a couple of years. Year in and year out, LC is loaded with talent, but little enthusiasm. A new, young emthusiastic coach could be just what they need. LC's jr high program went 9-1 last year, with that one loss being to Paris Inman who went to Memphis and beat their best team in the "West Tennessee Championship." Lake Co lost in triple overtime. If Garner does end up in LC, and he can get his numbers up and keep the players out of trouble, he should have a powerhouse in a couple of years.

I sure hope garner gets a qaurterback at lake county. dyer county had probably the best receiver in the state in brian fisk but no one could put the ball in his hands.

 

rumor has it that he is leaving and will be heading to lake county. not sure of who the new coach will be.

why wasn't fisk in the backfield?? that kind of athlete needs more touches. it would be like crockett county lining up artis pitts at wideout.. doesn't make sense to me..

Fisk WAS one of the better recievers in the state. His ticket was in basketball, could have been football, but he chose basketball.

What kind of speed does dyer county have coming back, how many starters, and how good is their feeder program? Give me an honest opinion on this from someone who knows please.

Dyer Co should have a good bit of talent back next year, but experience will be a factor. Most of the players the past few years have graduated or will this spring. I believe that their QB this past year was a sophomore or maybe a junior, but the leading receiver and rusher were seniors. Potential is there. As for the feeder programs, things seem to be looking up. The old high school building is being converted into a middle school. Hopefully this will allow the high school coach to dictate a little of his philosophy to the kids that will be playing high school ball in the future. There are maybe two more football playing feeder schools, so that unity could be tricky. Loads of talent, and could be a good job for someone willing to put a little work into it.
