I must say that I'm with the erudite ORTT on this, at least in part. Tolerance is not really a virtue. It's often confused with mercy, which is. Until relatively recently, public shaming served a very important function in Western civilization. More's the pity that we don't see more of it nowadays.

Agree that music students perform better academically, etc., but correlation doesn't equal causation. In other words, it might not be the music making the students who participate in it perform better. It could just as easily be that the students who tend to gravitate toward music are, in fact, on average smarter than those who choose not to do music. I lean toward the latter explanation.

I remember those guys when Halls was in that district.

It's hard for me to get my feeble mind around it, HTV. I hate it. There's too much good about that community.

I think them there Powell Panthers might have a thing or two to say about your time period of West dominance.

Two words: Educational guardianship. It's all legal like.

Ouch!

I don't blame Coach Cummings. I also don't blame the kids who enroll in that program. For just getting two players, they're still both very good ones.

How is Mr. Cottrell getting along in that International Baccalaureate program thing you got over there Mr. Kat?

The Eagles are coming off a hard fought overtime loss to Clinton last Friday while Halls lost to perennial 3AAA power Oak Ridge. The Eagles have upped the ante with a little vandalism at Halls. http://www.wate.com/story/26558685/halls-high-school-vandalism-under-investigation-ahead-of-rivalry-football-game-against-gibbs Can the Eagles get it done this Friday or does Red Nation avenge the vandalism and recent gridiron losses it has suffered at the hands of the War Eagle?

How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle. And yet here they stand.

"He was a bold man that first ate an oyster!" ~ J. Swift I think you're on that level Mr. ORidgeKat! That is indeed a bold prediction!

Does the big red machine get it done tonight? Or do the Patriots grab a consecutive victory from their county line rival? As you contemplate the enormity of this imminent imbroglio, I give you some statistics to consider in making your conjecturous surmisal: Union County state rank 203, national rank 7,347 Halls state rank 276, national rank 10,695.

That's good stuff, BarneySox. I've never understood the caustic, maniacal, in the face approach that some coaches adopt. A few players might respond to it but most players who have a modicum of intelligence view it as absurd.

Knox Central is apparently still looking....
