Williamson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney is rocking a new piece of jewelry – a state championship ring!
Independence High School Principal Dr. Todd Campbell and Head Football Coach Scott Blade presented Looney with a ring of his own February 24.
In December, the Eagles defeated Sevier County 49-14 to win the Class 5A BlueCross Bowl, capping off a perfect 15-0 season and giving the school its first football state title.
“It has been an unbelievable year for the Independence football team” said Looney. “In addition to the state championship, IHS was ranked number one in the nation in the medium schools football rankings by MaxPreps and Coach Blade was named both the MaxPreps Medium Schools Coach of the Year and the Tennessee Titans Coach of the Year. I am thrilled to celebrate their incredible success.”
