    Smoky at Pisgah

    Maybe Memorial Stadium should have been packed, but I will be generous and say about 40% of the seats were occupied. Football in Haywood County is not as big of a deal to the communities as it once was. There is always the big game, but outside of that there are a lot more empty seats than...

    Pisgah

    For at least one of the board members, the transfer had nothing to do with their no vote. It was something that occurred when your coach was previously employed in Haywood County. Our school board has historically been nothing but a "Yes" group that approves most every hire that is presented...

    Pisgah

    For you Pisgah fans that are not thrilled with this hire, us Mountaineer fans can feel your pain. We have hired 3 head coaches in the past 13 years that had no business being our head coach. IMO,. Brindley is a better coach than any of the 3 we hired. When we hired our first non qualified...

    Uh, yes it is a possibility that donations could decrease. If you think that the money will always flow to the booster club you might be wrong. If you make the wrong hire it could occur. Also, the fact that a lot of former mill workers are making $25K or less than what they previously were...

    Brooks steps down at Franklin

    Your principal has a lot of power (the second highest paid employee in the school system) and had the superintendent backing him on this. Kind of awkward for the superintendent having a role in his son's coach firing. Believe me, Tuscola fans have seen this movie before as we had two...

    West Henderson at Hickory Round 4

    I watched the video clip and it is impressive. What is not impressive is the middle school size crowd on the Hickory home side. That looked pathetic, especially for a 3rd round game. You would think a community that size with an excellent team would have some support. Maybe everyone will hop...

    Chappell steps down at Pisgah

    When he was hired at Pisgah, a friend of mine whose son played for him at East told me "the players will love him, the parents will not." That statement was pretty accurate.

    Looks like a nice catch by that kid from Waynesville. Loved the handshake between the coaches when the Pisgah coach was going to do a drive by no look handshake and Crompton grabbed his hand and made him stop and look at him.

    He learned a lot under Kiffin and respects him. Not so much for fat Phil.

    Maybe he does, maybe not. I will ask him the next time I see him. I do know that he spent time in the NFL being coached by Kyle Shanahan, Norv Turner, and Matt Lafleur so his knowledge on that side of the ball will not be matched in WNC. IMO, he has made mistakes like any rookie coach but it...

    Pisgah @ tuscola (3rd year @ tuscola in a row)

    Hey old man. You doing okay this morning? Since you only deal in emotion and not fact, let me give you a fact. In your last 2 games, your Bears have had a total of 3 possessions in the second half. That means that your defense that your coach was bragging about and many of your fans were...

    Pisgah @ tuscola (3rd year @ tuscola in a row)

    i was talking to a friend of mine from Canton a couple days ago and asked him why the Pisgah fanbase thought the Bears were so good. You had played two teams this year in which the QB could throw a forward pass and you want to talk smack about how good your defense is? What happened to the...

    SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!! At the request of the Pisgah principal, the game tomorrow night is now being played at the soccer field beside Hazelwood Elementary. He put much thought into this and stated "it is for the kids" LOL.

    Pisgah @ tuscola (3rd year @ tuscola in a row)

    Now guys. You are digging deep if you think i am making fun of people losing their jobs. I had a relative lose their job at the mill and multiple relatives lose their job at Dayco, so don't go there. Same for the flood. It's just not reasonable to think a flood won't happen again and I think...

    Glad we could help. That won't be the last group of Pisgah seniors this happens to. Building a stadium by a river is about as smart as asking an alcoholic to work in the liquor store. By the way, are sales down any at the Canton ABC store since the after work rush from the mill no longer...
