Coach Counce...Past and Future
For those of you who attended Dyersburg High School from 1995 on you know who James Counce is. He took our football program from nothing to somthing in 3 years. I got to know Coach Counce first through our women's weight lifting class my senior year. Last years 06-07 football season I helped cover the Dyesburg games for the company I work for, and I got to see first hand how Coach Counce interracts with his players and with his assistant coaches.
At the end of the 06' season, Coach Counce retired from coaching to spend time with his wife who has had been battling with illness for a while. Sadly, she passed away soon after his retirement.
Coach Counce and his son James Jr. then went on to be assistant coaches for Montgomery Bell Academy outside of Nashville, while Dyersburg had already hired the Obion County head coach. Well, two Fridays ago DHS's coach annonced he would be leaving, but then on the following Monday..........we found out that Coach Counce and James Jr are coming Back!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot wait for the 08-09 Football season to start....and things getting back to the way they should be. Go Trojans!!
