At a recent Collierville High football practice, the state-of-the-art sound system was blaring a selection of Top 40 classics at an ear-shattering volume loud enough to be heard across campus. “Coach (Mike) O’Neill likes to keep it turned down,” said Dragons athletic director Jeff Curtis in all seriousness. “It definitely bumps. Hopefully, we won’t have any neighbors that get upset.”
