If you haven't seen the movie Greater on Netflix yet, stop what you are doing and go watch it. The true story of Brandon Burlsworth, all American guard for Arkansas.

Leaving Smyrna is one of the toughest decisions I have had to make. I will always have a special place in my heart for the Purple and Gold!!!

Wilson Central HS officially announced Ben Kuhn as their new head football coach today.
@Coach_Kuhn
, who last served as an assistant at Green Hill HS, has over a dozen years of coaching experience. His new team gave him a warm welcome!
This year's offensive line is one of the greatest I have ever coached. Humble kids who put the team first. Hard workers who love working TOGETHER. Relentless effort that broke most teams that we played. They are what makes
@smyrnafootball
such a great place to be
#OLineWinsGames
"When I turned down Wildcat Way today I was pumped. I believe this to my core we have the premier program in Wilson County. We've got to get it back to where it’s supposed to be.”
Great day to be a WILDcat!!!

#FeedtheHawks
So proud of this young man
@CollinJarrell4
he is the definition of a leader and a team first player. He would be a stud fullback but the team needs him on OL and he plays it at an elite level with no complaints. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dress like a student day at GH. All of our coaches dressed as our favorite kicker
@CrickmarSam
Shorts, hoodies, toboggan, slides/crocks, AirPods, and high socks.
#DefendTheHill
My favorite memories of Smyrna are not the wins or big plays but the relationships I have with current and former players. I will always be there for these guys...I am always a phone call or text away.
#OLineWinsGames
May we never forget, Glen E Kuhn, Staff Sergeant in the 83rd Infantry Division won the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Died fighting during Operation Overlord in Normandy, France.

Offensive line...the ultimate team position. This is where the strength of the individual means nothing, it is the strength of the unit that counts for everything.

So proud of this group and the leadership they have displayed for our team. When you get to coach humble kids who care about the team more than themselves you have it made as a coach.
#OLineWinsGames
Our football team is doing teacher appreciation today. Kids like this are why I coach and teach and what makes Green Hill High School the best!
#DefendTheHill
There is nothing wrong with being a good/great high school player in one or multiple sports and going to college as a student or into the work force. Playing in college DOES NOT determine how good of a high school player you are!
93% of HS Athletes dont play in college stop acting like the # 1 job of HS sports is to get kids into college sports. And encourage them to play as many sports as possible while they can
Look who stopped by today!!!
@JordanHiggins57
Can't believe how much this kid has accomplished since leaving Smyrna. Nothing better than former players coming by to see you.

By far the coolest tradition I have been apart of. Only the best get to wear
#20
in Green and White. And by best I don't mean best player...grades, character, servant leadership, integrity is what I mean by "best". Pumped to see who gets to wear 20 this year!
Starting a new program provides opportunities to create new traditions. Opening in year 2020 we will always have our captains and our leaders of the team reflect who we are as a program by honoring them with the jersey
#20

#Team1
was Azra Besetsny and Collin Jarrell!
#TheHill
Our first signing day on the Rock was a hit! Excited for the first four to sign and looking forward to our next group who will sign in March.

#DoYourHomework
The last three years watching a program be built from the ground up has been one of the highlights of my career. Thank you for letting me be apart of it!
One of the greatest things about being a coach is when former players call you up to hang out. These
@FHSRebels
were some of the best I have ever gotten to coach. Loved getting to catch up with them and hear how their lives are going.
