We watched @LukeKennard5 break a @memgrizz record tonight with most 3s in a game.
Luke signed his ball after the game. It’s going in a glass case!
Thank you, Luke for your small act of kindness. You have made my sons birthday week one he’ll never for get!
Congrats! 〽️
Thank you, seniors. What you have laid for this program is a rock solid foundation. I will forever be indebted to you and your choice to start a new path for a new high school.
I’m proud to have coached all of you.
It’s not good bye.
Juniors - Your team now.
Sending 200+ emails and then seeing our kids get offers makes it worth the time. Tedious and time consuming but it’s good 2 know that working 4 the kids still matter from the HS coaches.
“They will find you” = lazy answer. They work 4 years 4 us. They deserve it 2 b reciprocated
First captains meeting tomorrow morning and I’m just brainstorming.
This is why I’m thankful for the game of football and why its the single most important life lesson for young people.
Tagged are people I’ve learned from this off season. Thank you for your help.
"He cant learn that" "Thats too much for him" and prevents the kid from performing on the field.
Our job is to TEACH them how!
Instead of HIM not being able to learn it - maybe it's YOU not able to teach it.
The Best coaches are the best teachers and can connect to ALL KIDS
IF you offer a kid - Especially one of ours - don’t tell us “depends on the portal”
THEN DON’T OFFER! Putting pressure on a kid and then not taking it is NOT good tactics. Showing your programs integrity TO US!
Tired of these coaches selling dreams like 🍋 cars. BE Better
Did some good contact prep and learning from @ScottLeech72 and his content from his 12 week course. Been really happy with the results and the kids have a blast competing and working together.
Make it somewhere they want to be!
Spring ball starts May 1!
#TheHill
Happy thanksgiving. I’m extremely thankful for my family and friends.
8am I woke up to my son in Pokémon pajamas and a football asking to throw. My heart is full. I cherish these times more than anything because it reminds me of my dad.
Also,Not a bad dig (shallow) for 5! 😊
I know I’m late, but there’s nothing better than being a #girldad . I got the privledge of taking this beautiful girl to a dance tonight. I wish time would stand still. ❤️
One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. In the end, I hope I’ve pushed all of you to be better MEN and better players at a game called LIFE! I am Very blessed for the opportunity I’ve had at Wilson Central. We’re headed west! #godsplan
Playoff football! Don’t take it for granted. 1/32 teams still with the the chance to play the greatest game in the world.
Every opportunity to pad up is a blessing.
We need all of Green Hill out tonight in full force! First ever playoff game at home! Let’s get rowdy!#TheHill
So proud of our kids. That have been dealt a tough hand since December. And they have stayed the course. They kept chopping. Enjoy this win. I love you all and I’m blessed to be your HC. Let’s go 1-0! #TheHill
Seniors - y’all deserve this!
You were told you wouldn’t and you believed and proved them all wrong.
I love you all. You’re always welcome at my table! Family!
#REGIONCHAMPS21#TheHill#CLIMB
Behind being 9-0 is a strong support system.
These seasons are FEWWWW and far between but thankful i get to do it for this crew.
*Cason was in the middle of a serious post game 2 hand touch battle.
I’ve had enough. Carry yourself like a professional and a COACH. There is no need to respond to HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!
It’s part of being a MAN is to look the other way and take the high road. Bragging about facilities is all fine. I’d do it too. But don’t call out a 15-18 EGO!
Tonight at team dinner - 18 kids accepted Jesus Christ into their lives. More important than any win on a Friday night.
Thank you Casey and @ghc_students for ministering our men on #TheHill
In lieu of @NCAA newest decisions, I thought it was my fatherly duty to begin teaching my son the importance of triple option football and how to properly read the Dive key and the pitch key. He’s 5. Thank you for giving us all hope for the future ncaa🙃
#BringBackNCAAFootball
I'm thankful for our parents who made these stickers for one of my past players. We are with you in honoring Wes for the rest of the year @SGGryphFootball@Coach_Atkins @CoachLott30
Honestly - I'm a fan of all these coaches in HS building PROGRAMS for their communities. Something the kids 5-13 look forward to playing for one day to put that school across their chest.
Just want y'all to know - if you see this - keep being servant leaders no matter the title
Big game tonight for the region title in Green Hill, TN tonight. We’d love to see everyone out and decked out in green. The players thrive on the support and Friday nights on #TheHill have been astounding.
Pressure is earned. You all earned this stage tonight. Enjoy it!
Rivalries - this is what makes HS football superior. 2 towns with pride on the line.
Excited to see our kids compete against one of the top teams state wide in 5A. This will be a great test as we prepare for playoffs.
Be where your feet are.
All eyes on You!

Thank you to @CUAlumni and @GoCUPhoenix@CumberlandFB it was an honor to be apart of the 180 Commencement and receiving the Rising Phoenix award for alumni under 35 for their leadership and volunteer services in their community.
Thank you to GH and Football for changing my life
I don’t do this much but unpopular opinion - the transfer portal is Wack!
500+ players who said no thanks I’ll leave getting more looks over HS kids who just want a shot to play?
Commit - build - retain -💧 your grass
Y’all wonder why we see a culture that’s ok with quitting
Round 3 football in mid November! Air is a little colder and the stakes are a little higher!
Students, fans, supporters, community members - we need you tonight. #TheHill is a special place on Friday nights - I hope you choose to be apart of this story.
YOU are enough! #Climb
Thank you for the honor, guys. Huge shout out to our staff who deserves ALL of the credit and a administration as well as our AD(@MrCoachWood) who support us 100%.
What.A.Game@barstoolthehill y’all showed up and was DEEP!! thank you for the support.
0-0 now! The real season starts now! I’ll see y’all Friday at 7pm @ 220 north green hill road! Let’s get that home field advantage!!
#GreenHillTN#CLIMB
Thankful for the atmosphere last night at GH and it was a great football game between 2 good programs who share the city. Looking forward to this game for many years to come.
Congratulations to 5-5a region champs @MJGOLDENBEARFB
November 🏈!
0-0 starting now!
There’s nothing like coaching on #TheHill. It was an awesome night tonight. Thank you to everyone who made it a special environment to play football in. We have a community like no other.
I love you all.
appreciation tweet -
@GreenHill_Hawks finished this 9 weeks with ZERO F's. 148 players.
21 players had a C and the rest are A's and B's!!
use football as a vessel to a greater means!
Round 2! 1/16 teams still fighting to be 1-0. Respect is earned not given.
I’m excited for all of Green Hill to be on display tonight. Get there early and be loud! You are what makes our Green Hill atmosphere one of a kind!
7pm - Let’s Ride!
#CLIMB#TheHill
Recap from June. WOW. Moving into the dead period I’m so proud by what we’ve put in and what we’ve accomplished in a short time.
3 srs didn’t miss a single day. We had 87 not miss a single day of 94. (5 were excused)
More importantly, they love being around each other!
🦅🟢
It’s hard for me to put this into words. I refuse to stick to X and O’s. I’ll never know what it’s like to be African American in this world, but I can say i see how hard it is. And your struggles in this world hurts my heart. I’ll do all I can to teach our youth about acceptance
Praying for our city. It’s times like these where we all need to rally together and help our brother and sister. Get out and check on your neighbor this morning.
If I can help anyone anyway, please let me know.
88 kids - 704 TOTAL classes - we, as a program are PASSING 680 classes.
That’s a 96.5% passing rate in ACADEMICS within our program.
I’m proud of my guys!! Our program - BUILD MEN OF GREAT CHARACTER.
GH 🏈
College ready ✅
Men of character✅
Football players✅

What a night!! Stadium was jumping! Thank you @barstoolthehill , band, cheer, and fans for showing up strong tonight! Well fought win!
#TheHill that’s 6 straight!
The best thing to learn early on in leadership is not everyone want to see you succeed. In fact, they will create false narratives about you as a person to fit their lies
I’ve never met a hater doing better than the person they hate!
Remember why you do it and who you do it 4
Dude did his class today with his new helmet on. He can’t wait to get to practice with the Hawks!
He’s coming for WR1 tho. Don’t be fooled by size! Routes are on point!
By far one of the most impressive QBs we’ve watched all year and that I’ve seen in recent memory. He had full control on checks and slides and understood pressure paths. You Can tell by this interview he’s a winner and a leader.
Congrats @Braden_2024 on the year. Good luck 🫡
Caught up with QB1 Braden Graham last night following Riverdale’s 50-13 win over Green Hill.
After an early pick-6, Graham went off for nearly 400 yards and four touchdowns through the air 👀
Here’s what Graham had to say about the night:
QB @10_cmqb ended his 3 month speed cycle +.89 added on to his mph times!!
10m Fly 0.96 = 21.30mph
5.3 # per # 1st ever ELITE weight class
260 Bench
360 Squat
265 Clean
Oh and threw for 20+ TDs and 1500+ yards last year. Another 400 rushing
RECRUIT THIS QB!
And there it is - @GreenHill_Hawks 1st FBS recruit and signee!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ TE @braiden_staten did it the right way.
Congratulations, Braiden. You’ve made us all proud!
Days like this is why I chose to get into this profession. I love seeing how football can be a vehicle to change a young mans life and his whole family's path. Getting an affordable education is whats important! NO better conversation to tell a young man, You're going to college!
So happy to send these seniors off with a win! Caught through, mainly, I KNOW they will be better men when they go on. Very proud! Defense to remember!
Practice at 9am..
Freshman practice at 6pm.
7v7 on Thursday and Saturday this week and look who is up at the field getting extra work.
@10_cmqb@SeanAldridge9@615kaleb
When your best players are your best leaders - you have a shot! Big year ahead for these dudes.
Excited to see all the players in Wilson co sign their letter of intent to play college football today. Using football as a vessel to a greater means of an education is a feat deserving of celebration.
Congrats to all!
Thank you to @MainStreetPreps for the Nomination for Person of the year. I am humbled by the nomination and I am grateful for those who would consider to vote. My glass is full with gratitude.

Man. We worked out under the Cafe at Cumberland with 4 racks. Building something our community will have long term. It's going to be a College level facility here at GH!
LETS GO!
It's a big week on #TheHill as we continue to grow and build our program to the best of our ability for our Student athletes here at Green Hill.
This will be a stand alone weight room on our facility beside a Full lengthed turfed indoor.
#CLIMB
High School Coaches out there - I appreciate the time you put in to coaching and setting an example for the youth.
You don't hear it enough, you're not paid enough, and you are undervalued.
I see you, coach and you are doing a great job.
You make us all proud.
Thanks @ChrisHarrisWSMV for an awesome segment on our kids. There was bears and Hawks there today helping the community. Great job by all coming together and helping a great community in need.
The first ever Region championship in school history showed up today. 1st ever playoff game at home tonight also!
If you’re not busy, we’d love your support. Bundle up!
7pm
220 N Green Hill Rd.
Green Hill,Tn
See you tonight!
I've sat here looking at this picture for 2 hours. A senseless act of violence took a young mans life when he had nothing but love and respect for people. He had everything ahead of him and a life of success.
Praying for the Smith family and SG community.
