Munford’s historic season ends in second round loss to Springfield

By The Leader on November 14, 2022

Before the 2022 football season kicked off, Munford was the team to watch with quarterback Jordan Bell and his entire offensive line returning, plus the addition of two transfers: Isaiah Cobbs from White Station and Braxton Sharp from Brighton.

Munford remains perfect with first round win vs. Northeast

By Jeff Ireland on November 8, 2022

As was the case in three of Munford's last four games, a Cougar opponent put up some resistance. And, just like those three other games, Munford finished strong to remain undefeated. The latest opponent attempting to hand Munford its first loss of the season was Northeast, which traveled from Clarksville to Munford Friday night for the opening round of the Class 5A state … [Read more...] about Munford remains perfect with first round win vs. Northeast

By Jeff Ireland on October 31, 2022

In the coming days and weeks, Munford may win a state title or lose in the first round of the playoffs. Both scenarios are certainly plausible.

"It's just a super accomplishment," Munford coach Slade … [Read more...] about Munford makes history with program’s first 10-0 season

Munford all but clinches region title with road win vs. Southwind

By Jeff Ireland on October 10, 2022

[metaslider id=11367] Munford didn't officially clinch its third straight Region 8-5A title with Friday night's league win vs. Southwind.

It started with Dyer County’s (2-4 … [Read more...] about Braxton Sharp runs wild as Munford beats Dyer County to remain undefeated

Munford overwhelms Overton in region opener to remain undefeated

By Jeff Ireland on September 20, 2022
