One of the better HS rivalries in the state is that of midstate competitors Father Ryan and Harpeth Hall. Both teams flip-flop victories each year and continuously put on a good show, both soccer and 'trash talk' wise.

 

Also a rising star in the rivalry sky, Harpeth Hall vs GPS. This year the two single-sex schools went head to head early in the season giving GPS the 'W'. However, it was the semi-final game in the state tournament that tossed the Honeybears back into the fire. The teams went scoreless until, with 28 seconds remaining in the 2nd sudden death OT, a sophomore put a PK on goal to give the Bears a win and advancement to the State Finals where they fell to common foe, Baylor.

 

1) HH vs. Ryan

reason: trash talk

2) GPS vs. HH

reason: talent

Janet Laws actually posts on here often. She's my cousin. She will be a freshman next year and she's a very talented girl. You'll come to know her and love her as you watch her play for the next four years. The only problem is that she's considering attending FRA next year, instead of Franklin, but odds are that she'll end up at FHS. Go Rebels!!! :wub:

    • 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.
    • 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?
