| Gallatin's Coach, Robert Lassiter, Has Retired
Former Green Wave great and former Tennessee Volunteer, Robert Lassiter announced his retirement as the head football coach at Gallatin High School.
Robert was a former assistant coach when I played and had a huge impact on my high school and college football careers.
Congrats on a great career "Sly". You are a Vol For Life and a Green Wave For Life.
His wife, Mary Glenn "Proud Mary" Lassiter likely has a long list "honey dos" for him to take care of. |

| Talk trash to us when MJ actually wins at least one state championship. 
MJ had the 2nd best team in the state back in the late 1970's. | |

We did pretty well this year, state semis (again) and then nothing else. MJ will get it done at some point, but the problem is now that they're 6A, as they've gotten better, so has their competition.
Gallatin's always been good. Gotta do something with that knock-off Green Bay/UGA helmet though...

| MJ is the up and coming power in middle Tennessee sports. MJHS enrollment is almost twice as big as Gallatin's. | |

| I couldn't figure out why Gallatin didn't send more guys to UT? They're looking at Box and a lineman but with the coach playing for UT, I would have thought more besides TD Woods would have gone there.

| Thomas's cousin, Vernon Bass also played at UT.
Lassiter was not the coach when Thomas played at Gallatin. Calvin Short was his coach. | |

Dunn, Maib, Lewis, Chuck Whatever, Malone... They were a better team than Jeff County, but struggled in the Clinic Bowl. Jeff Collins was a badass at JC and laid a serious hit on Malone on a very early play. | |
