With all these studs they have recruited why was they scared to play Private ?? Wasnt they the only private school to remain in Public playoffs ?? Wonder how some of those kids that were getting aid are gonna play now ??? I know they were suppose to cut out the parents from having " jobs" .. laundry , sprinklers  etc ..to make up for tuition .. heard one family that told them they couldnt afford to pay for their star player to continue there was told dont worry we work something out ... ;);)

The transfer from Indiana played at a Catholic high school up there and he's from Knoxville, wanted to come back home. From what I gather he hasn't played basketball in two years. I didn't know about Raynoch Thompson son transferring. There will always be stories of "I heard this and I heard that". The TSSAA allowed Catholic to stay. If you're hearing things turn it in. Ever since I moved to Knoxville I heard stories about Fulton and how they get athletes all the time but I don't believe in rumors. Fulton athletics speaks for itself, kids play for winners. Catholic wasn't scared to play with the privates, after all, they're playing Brentwood Academy, Baylor, and Eagles Landing. In my opinion the school was not going to let Meske and Webb dictate where they played (sending the Irish to Memphis to play while controlling the cut off to where his own team plays) put someone else on the board of control with common sense and no ties to Webb D2 and the Irish would've been gone. Three classes in D2 is pathetic. But no one will see it that way.

Q .. turn then in .. I would never do that to a kid or his parents even though they can't afford it to pay .. I was referring to playing privates as far as in playoffs ..

I know Tadvol, it's all good. I've always said keep everyone together for the regular season then split the privates and publics up for playoffs. If they can do the Z-plan surely they can come up with a plan for private/publics. It's crazy.

I'm not sure about the class of 5A. The offensive line is very good, but losing as many seniors (some of them who were four year starters) as they did on offense and defense it's going to be tough. Some inexperienced players really need to step up this year. I know I keep harping on it (no Q-Lou) but the schedule is brutal, however, I think it should prepare the Irish for playoffs.

Question for you Q, with Catholic staying public and not suppose to have tuition breaks does is still apply that if a student is part of the Catholic Church they still get a $1,650 tuition break compared to a non Catholic student?  Just curious on how that is going to work

The Catholic students don't get a tuition break. There is an upcharge for non-Catholic students. Just like in-state and out-of -state tuition for a college student.

Weren't scared to play the privates...just couldn't afford to have district games in Nashville and Memphis for the non-revenue sports.

Come on Q - LOU .. you guys are stacked .... you wont have a problem as far as 5A playoffs noone will be able to match what KC has brought in as far as recruiting and been able to hold onto even with the new rules of NO aid given !! ;) ... but again I said that last year ...  46-25  .. ouch ... at least we were the spoiler for you guys .. and then we got it handed back to us from Central .. after having such a dominating win as we did againt Catholic on their field .. guess our guys just couldnt muster it up for Central .

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
