Best athlete

You can't name anyone who excels at just three running events. Andrew Bumbalough runs national caliber times in 3 distance events, excluding relays, and could probably run a 49 on the side. The kid is by far the most competetive runner in the state, without question; no one compares, no sprinters, no distance runners. Best all around I would say is Michael Bingham.

I will also agree with ITZME....Chris Buck is going to push Bingham in the decathlon. Bingham is a great athlete and definately one of the best in the state but if he is the best then Chris Buck is undoubtedly the second best all around track athlete. They will battle it out in state decathlon in a week at BGA and that is where this arguement shall ultimately be decided on the battle field. Some of Chris' marks this year are as follows.

pole vault-15 feet

long jump-22 ft 2 inches

high jump-6 feet 2 inches

triple jump-41 feet

110M HH-14.7

400-51.3

and to finnish off a decathlone some other results...he has thrown discus over 130ft and shot over 41 ft runs the 100 in 11.2 (h) and the 1500 in 4:40's his score in the region decathlon was 6569...and that clearly beats lamar

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
