Private-Public talent disparity widening

[BillVol]

I will always be against a public-private split, since I think the public schools are their own worst enemies.  With any kind of organization, the publics would dominate the privates.  

 

Anyhow, the way things are now, the privates are dominating more than ever.  Some notable scores from tonight.

 

Chattanooga Christian, which started its program 4 or 5 years ago, beat Brainerd, 24-21.

 

Lausanne d Germantown, 42-7.  

 

Those two stand out to me.  

 

Others...

 

Baylor 35-27 over Rhea at Evensville.  

 

CBHS d White Station, 28-20.  

 

Quite a few other privates over publics of note.  But Alcoa gets it done for the publics tonight blanking Webb, 35-0.

The gap between good public school programs and other school programs is widening. The gap between good private school programs and other private school programs is widening. Tradition rich football schools in metropolitan areas will continue to grow while more isolated rural communities will maintain. In other words the good football programs continue to get stronger not just private schools

Alcoa has open Enrollment where you can pay tutition and attend the school As well as Maryville so i consider those Private schools at a cheap rate

I consider all open zone schools private. Just like privates, some care about football and some don't.

If the public schools aren't good enough to let their kids attend then they shouldn't be good enough to play with in the playoffs. Public and private should be split.

[BABABA]

Agree!!!!

 

If the public schools aren't good enough to let their kids attend then they shouldn't be good enough to play with in the playoffs. Public and private should be split.

Absolutely. If you want to separate yourself then do it,your choice. I also disagree with allowing home schooled kids on public school teams. You pay taxes you choose to not go to what is provided by those taxes. You've made the choice.

 I'm so confused !!!

Help me to understand this stereotypical way of thinking !!!

 

      Public -vs- Private?

      Win -vs- Loss ?

      No organization in public schools ?

      Private schools dominate ?

 

These thoughts strike me as harsh and unfounded. A kind of "yellow journalism" at best.

Seems to me you need an academic tongue slashing for being uninformed.

I could be wrong but I don't think anyone said the pubilcs lack organization.....on the contrary, the publics organized fairly well to spilt publics and privates.

 

As for "unfounded"....the TSSAA clearly stated in their meeting a couple months ago that the privates dominate the publics.  So that statement is 100% correct.

In every case, any type of private public split always benefits the private schools and hurts the public.

24-6 in the first 3 rounds should speak for itself.

Is it talent or is it coaching? I think coaching has more to do with it that talent. For instance, the majority of D1 talent in the state comes from middle and west Tennessee. However, this year like every year the majority of teams playing for state championships are from the east. Maryville constantly dominates 6A but has very few players go into D1. Same with Alcoa and Fulton.
