Didn't they loose one game in pool play to Ryan and then came back to beat Ryan the next game?

bigreddog: That's a problem at most all prep schools including yours. If the headmaster has the deep pocket alumni/board members on his side he is going to win every time.

The most difficult thing that a coach does is evaluate talent. Most coaches in the pros, college, high school, etc... are not very good at this part of the game because you can see skills but you have to spend alot of time with the player to know what their work ethic is & their desire to win. If it were easy most number 1 draft picks would make the big leagues.

Are Honor offenses the same as Honor Code violations?

The last time that I looked, Duke required the SAT and not the ACT.

Let's be smart enough to look at the whole picture: Senior @ Baylor leaves school in late April with less that 6 weeks before graduation Something major is going on and we will hear about it shortly. The boys from McCallie & Notre Dame will blow the top off this chimney in a short period of time.

Yes, I know how they work (I did learn something while walking around that 4th tier university in Palo Alto during the 80's). They are great and I feel that it is best to give your money to a charity, church, foundation, etc... instead of giving it to "UNCLE SAM" I also know how and why one particular foundation was established.

Is MBA doing this or is it an outside foundation that was started & run by a former student and current MBA football coach? Yes, that foundation gives money to several schools but it is also a tax write off for one individual along with being a huge recruiting tool for MBA in the minority community.

Yes, I just received a call that Aydelott took the job a Riverdale.

You need to get with the program Vol!!!!!! With all of the recruiting that the privates are doing & the billions of dollars that they are throwing around they just pay the parents off to keep them in check!!!! Is that not how they got you to keep your mouth closed? Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you get caught? Is metro not fully open zoned now?

Would everyone not consider him the top 2007 prospect in Tennessee? Has Tennessee ever had a player ranked as the number two prospect in the nation?

The list starts with Golden Tate from Pope John Paul II.

It's a sad day when you have to use Coke & snack machines to fund a high school athletic department. It's no wonder that Metro public schools are way behind the county school when it comes to athletic departments. I drove by Glencliff High School yesterday and from the road the football stadium looked like it had been abandoned for the past 20 years.

In the mid and late 70's Hillwood was still a neighborhood school with community pride a spirit. Things have changed and not for the better.

The best way to go to Florida, Texas, California, etc... and play is to avoid the tournaments and schedule the local teams on your own so you can play more games. In the past teams have gone to Florida and played a DH on one day and have a practice the next morning with a game in the evening. They alternate that schedule for five days. Key West High School has lodging for teams that will go down and play them.

Thank's, you seem to understand. The neighborhoods around the school have not supported the school for probably 30 years.

How are they going to have their QB's from baseball? Does the school not have the understanding that you don't take time off from one support for Spring football? Do most schools allow this?

Hillwood may be the most difficult football/coaching job in Metro. Hillwood sits in the middle of two upper class neighborhoods (Hillwood & West Meade) and most of those kids attend private schools. The students are transported in from up and down Charlotte Pike and the Bellevue area and the school has "ZERO" community support. Hillwood needs to be closed as a regular metro high school and converted into a magnet school for grades 7-12. The Bellevue community is one of the fastest growing geographic areas in Nashville and the people in that community were promised their own high school (by the metro school board) if the community ever grew enough to support it when the old Bellevue High School was closed in the early 1980's.

Did the Christian Brothers pitcher (Packer) not K 20 of 21 batters in a 7 inning game against a good BGA team? % wise that is better than what Minor did. Where is Packer going to attend college?

What are Stookesbury's college plans? Is anyone big looking at him? SEC, ACC, Sun Belt, etc...

Then how do you pay for new uniforms, equipment, travel, etc... When I attend metro games and only 100 people are in the stands it's hard to pay for the officials. Metro schools must have a "Sugar Daddy" that takes care of various items for them. If a metro school has 5 home football games and they have 4 games with 100 people in attendance paying $5.00 each that is a gross of $2000.00. They have one big rivalary game that has 1000 people paying $5.00 each that is a gross of $5000.00. So the school has a gross of $7000.00 on football and they haven't paid for officials or field maintence and let's not forget that football has to help out the minor sports. I just don't see how they can ever get ahead. Now look at the 4A & 5A county schools. 5 games with an average attendance of 2500 people @ $5.00 per person is $62,000.00 gross gate receipts. Include an average gross of $15,000.00 per game ($75,000.00 gross sales with a profit margin of 72%) @ the concession stand and you can see the numbers are not close to what the metro public schools have.

What is an educated guess as to how long it will take for Father Ryan to break ground on a new stadium? IMO it will be 5 years before they play a game in the new stadium.

Who will Beach & Mt. Juliet pitch? High school baseball is about which team has the best pitching.

It would have been great to see Farragut & Overton get to finish their game. Something is wrong when two very solid teams have to finish a game tied. Did Farragut & Overton throw off on Saturday to save pitching and get ready for their Monday district games?
