I see that Maryville has a good football program. Can someone fill me in on some others that compare academically and athletically?

I can't speak for academics of some of these schools but as far as other area powerhouses in Knox and Blount County. Alcoa, Knox West, Fulton, Webb School, CAK, Knox Catholic, and even though Farragut and Bearden have been down lately. They both have proud football histories. Oak Ridge in Anderson County also a powerhouse. Edited by ChattanoogaFBFan

Maryville - Great Academics, great community support, football program speaks for itself, other sports are very competitive, great feeder programs that build champions, small town feel also.

 

Oak Ridge -Academically 1 of top public schools in the nation yearly, football programs great tradition and one historically top programs in the state, back on the rise with participation and athletes coming out, has one of 2017 top WR  (Tee Higgins) in the nation (#4 in a lot of recruiting sites) all athletics (basketball, track, cross country, swimming, etc.), facilities, and small town feel.

 

Those two are top (could add the private schools but they cost $$$$) Listed in order

Webb

Catholic

CAK

Loudon smaller schools but good academics and athletics with a lot of tradition and community support.

 

Alcoa small school also. Legendary coach in football.  Football Program speaks for itself. As someone said earlier can't go wrong.

 

Knox County - Some good schools but politics right now between schools and county government is not very good. With that said there are some good schools that fit academically and athletically.

West HS 

Farragut HS

Hardin Valley HS

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
