Guarded Optimism as the Pads Go On
by Shasteen on Sunday, July 25, 2010
With the first day of preseason football practice that players can put on pads and hit each other having arrived, it's no longer too early to begin breaking down the Tullahoma Wildcats in anticipation of the 2010 season. It's here!
'Cats to Shine Under Thursday Night Lights Again
by Shasteen on Monday, July 19, 2010
For the second straight year the Tullahoma Wildcats will have an opportunity to play in front of the entire midstate as they will once again be featured on a Thursday night television broadcast.

MyTV30, which broadcasts games from around the midstate each Thursday night, will come to Wilkins Stadium for a second consecutive season on Thursday, Sept. 2, when Tullahoma hosts Columbia.

The game was originally scheduled for Friday, Sept. 3, but will now officially be moved to Thursday at 7pm. Last season the Wildcats hosted Siegel in front of the TV audience on a rainy, nasty night that saw Siegel escape with a 21-16 win.

Columbia advanced to the state championship in the new Class 5A last season, falling 47-33 to champion Beech. Columbia returns perhaps District 8-AAA's best player in Tra'Darius Goff, and the Lions will likely be favored by most to once again win a district championship.

The Wildcats return a significant number of starters and are expected to once again be in the race for a playoff berth. The top two teams from District 8-AAA will advance to the playoffs, although all teams will be candidates to be selected as wild-card teams.
'Cats Will Be Tested in Preseason
by Shasteen on Tuesday, July 13, 2010
The Tullahoma Wildcats will have ample opportunity to determine how they stack up against superior competition during the 2010 preseason. A challenging scrimmage schedule which includes a trip to Class 4A defending state champion Giles Co., will conclude when Wilkins Stadium hosts Riverdale for the annual 'Fan Feast' on Tuesday, Aug. 10.
Wildcats Face Powerhouses Early
by Shasteen on Thursday, July 8, 2010
The Tullahoma Wildcats will find out pretty quickly how much progress they have made as a team in 2010 as two of their first three opponents are ranked among the state's top ten teams in their respective classifications in the exclusive Murphy Fair Preseason Coaches Poll. In addition, the first three foes Tullahoma will face are defending district champions.
Melton Steps Down as Offensive Coordinator
by Shasteen on Wednesday, June 30, 2010
The Tullahoma Wildcats, already set to adjust to a new defensive coordinator during the 2010 season, will now be forced to adjust to dramatic changes on the offensive side as long-time offensive coordinator Sam Melton will not be in that role this season.
Head Coach John Olive announced Wednesday morning that Melton had been forced to step away from the coordinator role because of health issues that must be dealt with.
"Sam has been and will continue to be a tremendous asset to this football program," said Olive. "Hopefully in the future Sam can get this health issue resolved and be back calling the plays for us, but for this season I'll be calling the plays and Sam will be my eyes in the press box."
Wildcats Shuffle Coaching Staff
by Shasteen on Thursday, June 24, 2010
The Tullahoma Wildcats enter the 2010 football season with lots of pieces in place offensively. Experience can be found at every position and coordinator Sam Melton has more options than he's had in 10 years.
Defensively things have changed though as few starters return and a new man will be calling the signals. Steve Britton has been named the Wildcats' defensive coordinator, replacing Woody Dillehay who stepped down this past week.

Wildcats Display Offensive Fireworks
by Shasteen on Tuesday, May 25, 2010
The Tullahoma Wildcats went into the annual Red & White game, which traditionally ends spring football practice, with the goals of putting on a good show for the fans and coming out of the game without further injuries. Head coach John Olive considers both missions accomplished.

In front of 300-400 fans on a hot, muggy night at the now-complete Wilkins Stadium the Wildcats, split into two teams for the intra-squad scrimmage, battled for 60 minutes with the White team coming out on top of the Red team 31-17.

"Several players stepped up and showed us that they can consistently make plays," said Wildcats coach John Olive, set to begin his 18th season at the helm of the THS program when Tullahoma hosts Blackman in the 2010 season opener.

Wildcats End Spring With Red and White Game
by Shasteen on Saturday, May 23, 2009
Rising senior running back Zach Bryson was the rushing star in a game that showcased a big-play offense as the White team beat the Red team 22-7 in the annual intra-squad scrimmage to end the 2009 spring practice for the Tullahoma Wildcats.
The game Friday night was played at Wagonner Park due to the current construction of the new Wilkins Stadium. A good crowd turned out to watch this Wildcat team that will open its season Aug. 21 in its new stadium against Blackman.
THS Set to Host 2009 Season Opener
by Shasteen on Monday, November 17, 2008
The Tullahoma football administration has completed assembling its 2009 and 2010 football schedules, and fans who assumed that the recent TSSAA realignment would give the Cats a less-challenging 10-game slate will be sorely disappointed.

In fact, the 2009 schedule could be the most-difficult slate in recent history, beginning with the home opener on Week 0, Aug. 21, when Blackman helps the Tullahoma community open its brand new football stadium. Although the schedule is not as top-heavy as it has been, with powerhouses Maplewood and Hillsboro gone, the overall strength of the new schedule is impressive.

The new District 8-AAA alignment means Tullahoma will have the same district opponents in football as it has in basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball. The big change for the next four years is that Coffee Co. will no longer be a district opponent.
