He had been a part of the football and baseball programs for over 30 years. The last few he wasn’t as visible because of health issues he wasn’t on the sidelines at home games he was in the press box away games he was usually away from the action maybe in a chair outside of the end zone or someplace. One thing is for certain is if he was able he was there. I spent several years as a chain crew and filming games for the coaches all the way back to the Henry days but he was there before then.

JP he was one of a kind. Slick I know this was an honest mistake but his name is Johnny Paul Palmer. There are a couple of Johnny Paul Davis’s here in the county so easy mistake. I’ve known JP all of our lives and he loved the War Eagles like I said in another post his mom and dad have passed so the football team made him feel like family. The coaches always took care of Johnny and he will be missed. So yeah we should dedicate the field or field house in his name

Practice is going good and kids are responding to new coaches well. Moral is as high as I’ve seen it since probably the Mangum years. Now this is coming from someone who actually liked Coach Hankins but for whatever reason the kids never seemed to buy in. Me personally I think it had a lot to do with the fans not buying in and they got tired of playing to an almost empty stadium on Fridays. Maybe with one of our own the community support will come back and to some degree you can already see that. The ultimate test will be wins and losses. The new turf looks good, I’m not a fan of it I’m more of a traditionalist lol I’m not fond of the enormous eagle it seems to busy to me. But hey I’ve seen blue turf even red turf so I guess we are ok ours is still green lol

Looks like Lampley has been pounding the hallways his numbers are up and his size has returned. Finally some of the big defensive linemen are back lol.

Slick no sign of your Low T offense I know you are disappointed.

Stopped by practice yesterday it looks like Lampley has his numbers up. Also looked like some of the big boys that have been walking the hallways not playing decided to play.The practice was full of energy and well organized no signs of the wing T lol. Not saying all is well in WC this is his first year but I do believe they made a great decision.

I’m not saying you were talking about Wayne County. I’m asking if your reasoning to save money? Because unless you do it right you won’t save money you will spend more in the long run. I get what you’re saying number wise as far as students and population. You wouldn’t have to do away with counties you could consolidate some smaller school districts. It would cost money up front building new and bigger schools but it would save money in the long run. However you can’t continue to operate the same number of schools and save a dime.

When they consolidated Wayne County schools we were fed this same line. We will close all of these schools in favor of one. At the time there were three schools operating in the county elementary through high school and an elementary school, a separate Junior High School and a high school in town. All they did was move the high school students to town didn’t build a new school instead put so much money into a school that has been there since late 50’s early 60’s. They closed None of the existing schools just made them K-8. So where did Wayne County save money? You’re still employing the same amount actually more because now it seems you have a principal for every grade. You still have all the up keep that is now more on the older buildings. Running six cafeterias buying food paying workers. Bussing students from county schools to the high school daily because all don’t have means of transportation. So I understand what you’re saying but at least in Wayne County’s situation it didn’t save money the way they did it.

Unless he’s changed he had an OC at WC but it was pretty much in name only. Boyles had say so on play calling. He did let Toby Collums call some but he would overturn some of them lol.

I hope Mississippi takes notes and follows suit

Congratulations Lane Brady your name has been mentioned to many times to count on here lol. If I had not known better I would have thought you were a fictional character

From the looks of this picture today they plan on it becoming a bigger part of WC

Talking with Tracy I believe it’s going to work out. It seems to have been made harder on him than other recent hires. I hope if anything has been learned through all of this that the people of Wayne County get out and vote people out. It’s past time for change and it’s not just in the school board but county wide. Slick is right it’s the same old names that have been running things for as long as I can remember. It’s just a different generation of the same families continuing to pad their pockets. There’s no reason Lampley can’t be successful if allowed to bring the right coaches in. He will not be successful running a spread offense with wing T coaching

From what I could gather from watching the special school board meeting all new assistant coaching hires have been tabled until July first. At that time the new administration takes over. The audio wasn’t great coming from the meeting.

Absolutely

I have not heard that but they did that a few years ago and it led to Coach Mangum leaving directly.

So they name a superintendent two weeks after hiring a football coach. A lot of names withdrew because they wanted to know who they would be working for. I can’t say I know this lady but if memory serves me correctly her husband played football at WC in the 90’s maybe. Good Luck Dr Jones I hope you help the kids in Wayne County become the best they can be.

I may be the only person on here that feels this way but I wish we still voted for Superintendent. This system we are in now is not working in Wayne County. No we didn’t get it right every time but more times than not we did. Allowing the BOE to hire them here is crazy you all just witnessed what a circus we had in a football coaching search. Turn it back over to the voters

My old buddy Slick and I were having a discussion last night of course we tried to narrow it down to the top coach in 5A. Needless to say we were unable to come up with a clear answer. We decided to bring it to MST, 5A is literally an open book. It has always been West Point and whoever is second. Well Brookhaven shook that up this year and also West Point has a new coach. So what’s your thoughts on top three coaches in 5A

Yeah I know his sister married a friend of mine. I’m pretty sure Slick meant it as a joke I know I did. Although I like Lewis he’s a really good guy but he’s also at home where he is

He’s a Wayne County native

Marcus Boyles Superintendent Remember his dad was Superintendent in Smith County for years, make Lewis assistant superintendent, Kat Principal if we’re wishing wish big I guess lol

I absolutely concur he’s always been to small or something. But the first time he touched the ball in a varsity game guess what he did! He took a punt to the house it was the first of many Wow moments he gave us at WC. This is just the next
