I remember a few message board members who gave me a hard time back in 1997 because they didn't think that would be around long because so many sites were here one day and gone the next. On October 15th the site will be 26 years old!
Today CoachT, the person, is 71. CoachT, the website, will be 26 on October 15. I must say that this has been a fun part of my life, for the most part. A Thank You to everyone who has made it this way...and text those final scores to 615-763-9150. :)

Not gonna bash UT. They are what they are at this point. However, I will say that teams need to start looking to sign football players, not just guys who look good or have great 40 times, but football PLAYERS. Those of you who really know the game know what I am talking about.
TSSAA BOC votes to keep the state basketball tournament hopes alive with early to mid-May being the likely dates.Girls on Monday and Tuesday and the boys the rest of that week.

Personal note: today I am 67 years old and on October 15th will be 22 years old. So, approximately 1/3 of my life has gone into the web site. Every year it gets a little more important to me as time moves on. Thanks to all of you who have followed along!
The real key to successfully playing an entire football season this fall is not how far apart you can keep teammates or opponents. It is how well these players distance themselves when they are on their own, away from the field, when self-discipline will really matter.
There were some very good games tonight but Henry County vs Page was a great one...Page winning 56-52 with a last-minute TD. Page vs Powell at 7PM on Friday in Chattanooga for the 5A state championship.
