Message from Coach Gillum:

I am so proud of our program and what we have accomplished in the past 15 years. Winning a State Title in 2022 was such an amazing experience and we look to continue our success on and off the field as each of the coaches works to mould these young men. Jon Chadwell and Gary Terry have been key components to the success of building the infrastructure that we currently have today and I am so thankful for there continued sacrifices each year.

I am excited to see the growth our our youth programs at the elementary and middle school level. Seeing the boys get involved and eager to be apart of a team brings pride to the community. We love our summer programs and camps and seeing the growth each year makes it worth it. 

I would like to take a moment also and say a special thank you to each of you, the members of our community. Without your support it would be an uphill battle. But, because of your support we are able to make this program not only one of the best in the State of Tennessee but in also in the Nation!

A big thank you goes out to Mike Malicote your support of our young men behind the scenes is insurmountable and we truly appreciate the amazing things you are doing for the Maverick football program!
