I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.

Hoping to make the playoffs.

You are so correct! It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed. The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far. I have always said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education, but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today. If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.

He was a bruise but Aaron Dykes is HVA’s best RB ever.

I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.

Dorian Eskridge had a great Junior year, highlighted by a great game to lead HVA to an upset win at OR that year. I think that was 2010. In 2011 OR won at HVA. OR had a real good QB that year l think. Dorian Eskridge had a great senior year also. He always played hard from the DCM videos l saw.

It seems we lost a ton to graduation. We shall see how it shapes up for 2024.

Oridgecat, Hows Oak Ridge looking this year? I expect a big year from Derek Rang and the boys! Other than Powell, I see the Wildcats as another team being in West's path to represent East TN in the 5A Championship game!

Pirates going to make another trip to Chatt this year? Can’t imagine anyone in the East having anything for you all

Dyersburg returns every major piece. Heavy favorite in 3A

The days of girls growing up dreaming of being a Lady Red Devil have mostly passed. Much the same in Gleason. It helps that Bradford is in the district they're in now. Job still has potential with wonderful tradition.

JCS is his only job?

1A PC is retuning 3 starters and their 6-7th players. They should look good to return to the Glass House. 2A Gibson Co will have to be reloading. Hart was a special player 3A Dyersburg looks to return a few key pieces. Strahan will be a force 4A Bradley will be as usual, making it tough on whoever they face.

I have no clue if Derek tried to talk some since into his dad or not about staying here. All he is going to accomplish is going from the oven to the frying pan. If I were the coach all Ale would freze over before I set back and watched one of my good players leave without a fight.

If this is true, South Gibson is taking a big chance. Passing on an experienced coach for a guy who has never coached at the high school level is a high risk move, especially in that district and region.

Dorian Eskridge was HVA's best back, 2011

Jo Byrns was a very solid team last year. Imo, I thought they presented the biggest challenge for us on our path to winning it all last year. I expect them to be in the conversation and one of the final few teams playing in Murfreesboro

I'm not sure you understand anything if you think DB's career and AD's career are comparable. This is a terrible take. Not to slight AD, He was a good player and he got better as he matured after high school. But Desean had over 8,000 yards in HS and was a two-time Mr. Football.

Doesn't alcoa have a principal and assistant principal from anderson county, and an assistant principal and athletic director from Maryville?

Not sure where he has been, young guy. Drew Pirtle.

Jo Bryn Is the sleeper IMHO

Corey Bishop withdraws from Santa Fe job, Santa Fe is back to square one..

who do you think will be the final 8?

Yeah it's been quiet in here this year. I would assume it will be University High and North Greene coming out of Region 1. Region 2 looks to be wide open and you could make a case for all 4 teams to make it out this year.

I think I hit the top 4 teams in this region. Should be a fun region tournament!
