I disagree zoneread. In the past decade you have had BA, MBA, and Ensworth who have all been really good teams. Could they beat teams like Maryville, Oakland, and Whitehaven during that time period? Would they own them? How about Father Ryan and JPII, could they beat those three public schools much less own them. D2II and now D3III has been very top heavy but overall it is no better than the best public school ball across the state.

Baylor and McCallie are typically top programs as well. It would be them just a notch below Maryville, Whitehaven, and Oakland most years but any year they would be a tough out for almost everybody. MUS, CB, are also really good. You mentioned the two weakest in the division who typically still beat up on their non-conference foes while getting toasted by division foes. 

Any typical year this is what you typical see from the large D2 schools

*BA, MBA, Ensworth would only be challenged by the very top 6A schools but would smoke just about everyone else. 

*McCallie, Baylor, MUS, CBHS, would handle just about any school not in 6A (of course there would be a few exceptions such as Knoxville Catholic this year) and they would be a challenge to beat for almost any 6A school outside of the top ones (Maryville, Oakland, Whitehaven) I do think typically Maryville Oakland and Whitehaven are a step above these but there have been some years where all of these programs would have been able to play and beat these schools. 

*PJPII Father Ryan, would be a tough out for most 3A and 4A schools. Although Alcoa and Greenville would have their way with them typically. PJPII and Father Ryan would shock their fair share of 5A and weaker 6A schools as well. They are no where close to the level of the elite 6A, 5A, and 4A schools IMO.

These games would be great! I wish these school could agree to play and end this debate.

    • 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. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
