HHS students dressed for success

Haywood High School Principal Robert Mitchell is singing the praises of the school system’s new standard dress policy. “Students have been very accepting of the new dress policy,” he said, adding that it seems to have impacted their attitude in a positive way. There are more than 990 students at the high school this year, with more than 220 seniors working toward graduation in May 2009. This group of Media Concepts students are preparing their voices to run the school’s radio station, WNWS 1520AM, when it hits the airwaves in the next few weeks.
 

Tomcat Roundup a success

The Haywood High School Tomcat Roundup was a success Monday afternoon, July 28, as about two-thirds of the expected almost 300 freshman visited Haywood High for orientation and dinner. The north side of the gymnasium was full of new students and parents as Rhonda Thompson, Director of the HHS Career and Technical Division, spoke to the group about coming to HHS. Afterwards, teachers took students to their homerooms, then they toured the school, before meeting in the cafeteria for hamburgers and hotdogs and all the trimmings. At the orientation students received their schedules, lockers and a planner. HHS Teachers were also on hand to greet the students, serve them dinner and give out door prizes. The first day of school will be a half-day for students on Tuesday, August 5.

Ray Jones to coach HHS basketball

Almost 30-year veteran educator and basketball coach in the Haywood School System Ray Jones has taken the head basketball coaching position at Haywood High School. “I look forward to leading a program that has a great tradition and such a rich heritage in high school athletics,” he said.

Doris Battle, Haywood County Schools Interim Director, announced on July 11 that Haywood Junior High basketball coach Ray Jones has been selected as the new boys’ basketball coach at Haywood High School. Coach Jones fills the position vacated by Coach Winston Varnado, who resigned at the end of the last school year to take a similar position at West Point High School in West Point, Mississippi.

Battle said the decision was a difficult one, especially when the decision came down between two finalists, Assistant Coach Jason Winfrey and Coach Ray Jones, both natives of Haywood County and coaches in the Haywood County School System.

“Coach Jones brings a very positive image to the program and is a role model whose reputation, influence and work ethics will be great not only for the HHS basketball program but for the school and community as well,” Battle said.

Coach Jones is a native of Haywood County and received his elementary and secondary education in the Haywood County School System. He is the son of late Nolen and Martha Jones. His father worked for many years and retired from Edenton-Lamb, a grocery wholesaler in Brownsville, and his mother, Martha, was a home economics teacher at Haywood High School.

He is a 1974 graduate of Haywood High School where he excelled in basketball and played the position of center from 1972 through 1974 under the tutelage of Coach Joe Dan Wooten. During his senior season, the Tomcats went 31-4 and were runners-up in the state.

After graduation, Jones attended Tennessee State University and received a bachelor of science degree in health and physical education and a master’s degree in agricultural sciences. He completed his college requirements in December 1978, and in March 1979 began teaching at Haywood High School.

He served as an assistant coach under Coach Dwight Waller from 1979 until 1984. During that time, he also coached the freshmen team at HHS and continued in that position until 1993 when he moved to Haywood Junior High School as basketball coach. He coached the Haywood High freshmen team for 12 years.

Jones also taught for a few years at Sunny Hill and even began a basketball program at the school. In fact, for almost 30 years, it would be practically impossible to find an area of basketball within the Haywood County school system that never encountered the footprints of Coach Jones.

In 1993, he transferred to Haywood Junior High where he coached, at one time or another, both boys and girls teams. During a coaching career that covered about 11 years with the Haywood Junior High Warriors, Jones compiled an overall record of 157 wins and 55 loses. His record as the girls’ coach was 104 wins and 37 losses and as the boys’ coach, he compiled a record of 53-18. Jones was awarded “Coach of the Year” eight times and won six divisions championships and six West Tennessee Athletic Conference (WTAC) championships while at Haywood Junior High.

He resides in Haywood County with his wife, Miranda, who is a teacher at East Side Elementary. They have two adult children, Jamila and Bradley.

“I am thankful to the good Lord and for the confidence placed in me that allows the opportunity to fulfill a longstanding goal of coaching the Haywood High Tomcats,” Jones said. “I look forward to leading a program that has a great tradition and such a rich heritage in high school athletics.”
