Chuck Reedy retiring
Big news in local high school football. Berkeley County Schools have announced that Goose Creek football coach Chuck Reedy is retiring.
He will no longer be coach at Goose Creek High School after being the coach since 2002.
Reedy is almost 66 years old (he turns 66 May 31), and was the head coach at Baylor for four seasons, and was a coach at Clemson from 1978-1989, including as an offensive coordinator for four seasons.
Reedy took Goose Creek football from the brink of extinction. Reedy has a 119-47 record on the field since his arrival in Goose Creek.
The year before he arrived, Goose Creek was 0-11 in 2001. He started 1-10 in 2002, then 5-7 in 2003, 8-5 in '04, 7-4 in '05, 9-4 in '06, then 8-4 in '07, 9-4 in '08, then starting in 2009 was when his program really hit the jackpot. In 2009 he finished 10-4, losing to Bruce Ellington's Berkeley squad in OT in the lower state finals; then in 2010 he went to the state semifinals again losing to Northwestern.
In 2011, he finished 14-1 and Goose Creek won their first state championship. In 2012, Goose Creek won all their games on the field, but was kicked out of the playoffs and had to forfeit their season because of an ineligible player in a scandal that rocked the Lowcountry. In 2013 they finished 12-1, losing to South Pointe in the playoffs, and last season Goose Creek finished 10-2 before being shocked in the playoffs by River Bluff.
Goose Creek is still the best job in the Lowcountry and one of the best in the state. There will be many good candidates, and with amazing community support, this will make the job highly-coveted.

Week 11 preview/wk 10 review
We are finally at the end of the season for 4A schools, while all other schools are in playoffs. The season in high school football goes by so fast, but it has been a very interesting one to date.
There have been many surprises this year, but Goose Creek and Stratford meeting up in an end of season battle royale for the Region 7-4A title is not one. Bishop England starting 0-6 was a surprise. Now, they are 4-6 and in the playoffs. Another surprise was Berkeley. They started 1-4, and people were looking to force Jeff Cruce to resign. Now, they finished the season 6-4, with a region title in hand, and will host a second round of playoffs if they beat Dreher Friday night.
Lincoln is in the playoffs for a second year in a row. St. John's is the top seed in the Class A Division I Lower State bracket, and has home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The SCISA bracket is also interesting. This week, I will change up from my normal preview style and focus on playoff scenarios for 4A teams. Ten of the eleven local 4A schools still have a chance at the playoffs. Only Bluffton has been knocked out.
Goose Creek, Stratford, Fort Dorchester, and Summerville have already clinched berths. The others will be decided this week. There are 27 automatic berths to the 4A playoffs, 5 at-large.
Many of these scenarios come from the posters at SCpreptalk who have made playoff scenarios. Per that scenario, six of the eight region champs would be in the Division I bracket of the playoffs. In order of likelihood:
Goose Creek- Host Stratford (4-0 in region) this week. With win, will likely be #1 seed in their section of the playoffs, with home field as long as they're in the playoffs. Would host last seed in their bracket, likely an upstate team. A loss would move them to the #3 seed, and two home playoff games.
Fort Dorchester- A win over Ashley Ridge would give the Patriots a #1 seed on their side of the playoffs, hosting throughout. Even a loss probably would keep them near the top of the line.
Stratford- Win, #1 seed likely. Loss, still a #3 seed in their bracket.
Summerville- In playoffs after last week's win at Ashley Ridge. A win against Bluffton, win less in region, would give them a likely first round home game. A loss could mean a road game.
Ashley Ridge- Likely in playoffs. A win against Fort Dorchester would help their seed a bit, in SCpreptalk's projections they are a 12 seed. A loss would likely hold their seed there.
Here is where it gets tricky:
Wando- Likely has enough points to get in as an at-large due to playing Lexington and White Knoll in non-region play. A win over James Island likely gives them a 9-11 seed, and a first round road game. A loss, and things could get tricky. A Cane Bay win and a Wando win gives Wando an automatic 3rd. Wando is likely in.
Cane Bay- Tricky here with Cane Bay. Multiple scenarios where they could be in or out. A Cane Bay win over West Ashley and a Wando loss, Cane Bay gets an auto bid for 3rd. A Cane Bay win coupled with a Wando win also gets them in. A loss to West Ashley, and they could be in trouble on points. Basically, Cane Bay needs a win to stay in comfortable position.
Colleton County- Most of the media thought the Cougars had clinched last week. That is not the case. They still have to rely on getting enough points in order to get in. From EHSMeanGreen on SCPT: One particular scenario has Mauldin tied with Colleton County for the last At-large spot in the playoffs (32.5 pts).
(If Mauldin loses to Boiling Springs they will have 32.5 pts; CC has finished their season and are in the clubhouse at 32.5 pts.)
--The tiebreakers could get very deep for these teams.--
Colleton County needs to pull for 3A opponents Beaufort and O-W in the 3A playoffs. (They could make the difference)
---opponents wins and losses could determine the last spot. So Colleton County could have to rely on 3A schools in their playoffs to get in the 4A playoffs.
West Ashley- Rather simple scenario for West Ashley. If they beat Cane Bay, and Wando beats James Island, the Wildcats are in the playoffs.
James Island- If the Trojans beat Wando, and West Ashley beats Cane Bay, the Trojans are in the playoffs due to the head to head tiebreaker (beat West Ashley).
You got that all straight?

Stretcher and paramedics called to Detroit Red Wings dressing room?
In a very cryptic tweet from Ottawa Senators play by play guy Dean Brown, a stretcher and paramedics have been called to the Detroit Red Wings dressing room.
@PxPOttawa: A stretcher and paramedics have just been called to the Detroit dressing room??
@detroithockey96: Postgame interviews on FSD don't look like anyone is being carted off on a stretcher.
@Pammerhockey: Paramedics have left the #Wings area and thankfully the stretcher is empty. Do not know exactly what occurred. All is quiet. @PxPOttawa
