I have an updated report on Josh Ward from Sevier County. He competed at the Arnold Classic this past weekend and benched 551 pounds. He pressed 573 but 1 of the 3 judges didn't count it because he "hitched" on the way up. He will be a Senior this fall.

To all the younger guys just starting to lift:

 

Colleges when they send out letters to ask for info. They ask for Power Clean first off. Squat, second and finally Bench Press. I would put much more emphasis on the leg lifts to build the speed too. The Power Clean is thought of as an all around strength test because it involves alot of what football has in it.

This advice is for "tacomuncher". Sounds like your a strong kid. To go along with the strength, work on your speed and flexibility. Colleges want to know how fast a kid is, they can always make you a little stronger. Go to camps this summer and measure yourself up against other athletes at your position.

    • Jason Lambert should be the only choice for the Baseball coaching position. 
    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
    • What coach in their right mind would want to come here and set theirself on fire to keep her warm.
    • Shoulder not going to the #### show .   Macon will name the score this year.
    • Plenty of time. The former coach was busy with family and disappeared all summer anyway. Obvious choice has the same family issues. First game is in March 2025.
