Somehow I have a hard time buying this... that the school that has been playing football for 100+ years, has won half a dozen or so state titles, and literally has a statue of a football player on their campus...all of the sudden doesn't care about football? The win/loss record has not been good the last couple years, but they were in the championship game not too long ago.
Nobody said BGA doesn't care about football. However, the excitement for football at BGA is much different than years past and if the powers that be do not exercise their best judgement, the trajectory for football could go the wrong direction. I'm sure most BGA supporters want the right hire, but also need to be dynamic in the process so they're not left scraping the bottom of the barrel for a HC.

The BGA alumni and families should be asking themselves if the board of trust are willing to do what it takes to have a successful (state championship caliber) football program. My initial guess would be NO.
Based on a few BGA paths that I cross; this seems to be the case. It's unfortunate too, because BGA has been a traditionally strong program and been middle of the road as of late, which shows in the stands as well on any given Friday night. You hate it for the players, as it used to mean something to be a BGA Wildcat, and now... it's just another place to go to school and play sports. Would love to see a legacy type of Coach come to the helm and make BGA great again. Or hire a Coach that knows and respects that tradition as a former opponent. BGA Board, Admin, search committee needs to show a little more sense of urgency, if they want to right the ship and not lose players with the current coaching carousel going on in D2 right now.

Not shocking that FCS beat DCA, however the manner of which they did is surprising. Most wouldn't expect a running clock on the defending state champs in that rivalry. A lot of people had DCA as their favorite to repeat in D2A. At this rate, DCA may not even finish above .500 this season. Clearly something is awry over on the Stones River in Donelson.

You would be hard pressed to say a 10 game series between these 2 teams would be far removed from a 5-5 or 4-6 split. Very evenly matched talent wise. I was glad to be able to watch such a great High School Football game.
Pivotal moments that defined the caliber of game it was from my perspective
1. LA opening drive setting the tone early, smash mouth football (for a spread team at least)
2. Oakland defense rising to the occasion at the goal line after a costly fumble on the ensuing kickoff, very gritty & hard nosed
3. Oakland defense reaping the fruits of their labor and getting pressure to get the scoop and score, relentless aggression
4. LA's almost quarter long drive to show they can play ball control with their spread attack offense, quite impressive imho
5. A little luck on a play that was poised to go nowhere and a couple of good athletes making a play to go up 14
6. A star being a star on a 75 yard house call, great individual effort and athleticism
7. Defensive halftime adjustment to keep LA bottled up in the 2nd half, Coaching Kudos right there
8. Lack of Offensive halftime adjustment, LA became predictable as game wore on & Oakland defense smelled blood
9. The pass interference call on the go ahead drive for Oakland, way to make the most of situational football
10. The absolute intestinal fortitude of Oakland to win it on the 2 pt. conversion. Straight gumption right there!
11. The desire of the LA offense to give themselves a chance at the 2 yard line with seconds to go.
12. The tenacity and the determination of Oakland defense to define the moment and finish the job, well done
13. In the end, a great exhibition of 2 of the best in TNHSFB, good show LA & Oakland, good show

Brent Dorris coached 7-8 grade last season and is not on staff at the school. If they are not going to go outside the current staff then the only person on staff that deserves the job is Greg Cotton. He would be a great choice but I am just not sure what the rest of the Goodpasture Community will think about it. If given a shot he will do well. Goodpasture will take a step back this season but by all indications, Cotton is doing a fantastic job of recruiting current students. Goodpasture has to get their numbers up before success can be had.
Good call @MTSUSIG

Isn't Coach Dorris the Offensive Coordinator at McGavock High School?
Why would he leave a 6A school with a better pool of athletes and a higher ceiling to go to a limited talent pool with more restrictions...??
Not sure how long he has been OC there, but looking objectively at their offensive output, not sure he is ready for a HC role...?? I know 6A to D2-AA is kind of apples to oranges, but just my 2 cents.

So based on the minutes from the December meeting, Coop schools will have to possibly apply the following, if it's approved.
"f.Voted to table proposed Addition to Article I, Section 6 (Cooperative Programs) of the TSSAA Bylaws:
Section 6 currently reads:Only two member schools may petition TSSAA annually for permission to have a cooperative program in any sport if one of the schools does not have that program and has not had that program for the last five years. The Executive Director of TSSAA may approve such cooperative programs subject to approval by principal of schools involved, the governing board of the schools involved, and the Board of Control.
Addition:
Schools that have a cooperative program will be classified in the sports in which the cooperative program exists by using the smaller number of the following calculations.
1.Combined enrollment of the two schools involved in the cooperative program.
2.Applying a multiplier of 1.8 to the larger of the two schools involved in the cooperative program.Submitted by McKenzie High School
g.Amended and approved the proposed Addition to Article I, Section 6 (Cooperative Programs) of the TSSAA Bylaws:
Public and charter schools may form cooperative agreements only with other public and charter schools. Independent schools may form cooperative agreements only with other independent schools.Submitted by Harding Academy"
So that being said, is the verbiage from what I underlined going to be applied to both D1 & D2 programs? If applicable to D2, does that mean the D2 schools will have a multiplier added...??
It will be interesting to see how this will be applied, if approved.

Not sure how the Tennessean article is worded, but Lipscomb will be playing in the upper half in all sports but football. There was never any possibility that things would be otherwise in those sports. If the Tennessean said otherwise, they are mistaken.
Here is the article link. http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/high-school/2016/10/12/lipscomb-academy-mtcs-join-tssaa-division-ii/91971930/

Right -- and they have 518 students in their high school. They should be D2-AA, not D2-A. Tennessean is reporting that they will basically "play down" despite being nearly 70 students over the limit.
That is crazy.
I'm confused by this as well. How can they be in D2-A with that enrollment number? Any Lipscomb insiders know something the rest of us don't?
-
I believe that they are doing a fish fry at the field tonight if anyone can confirm, or if interest anyone
More details, please!?

Y2K,
Yes, holy smokes is very good deffinently worth the price. It will cost you $6 to get in. Safe travels and #GOROCKETS
Thank you for the hospitality. Hope to see a great high school football game tonight. And eat some good bbq too!
-
Planning on coming down for the battle of earthly elements (water vs tree). Going to fill up on bbq at Holy Smokes. For the locals, is it worth the scratch?.., or is there another hole in the wall to appease my taste buds before the game? Looking forward to a good small town showdown in CH. Hopefully I can scalp me a ticket or 2. What's the going rate to see the Rockets at the Rock/Pebble?
-
BGA in a blowout!
Agreed, BGA can pick their score.
-
Boyd-Buchanan should beat FRA going away. FRA has good skill positions, but they are not used in a very productive way. Load up the box on their foot-to-foot line and keep an eye out for an occassional tailback pass and the Bucs will leave Nashville on a high note. Good luck to both teams Friday. Safe travels to the BB faithful.

confucius say....http://murphyfair.com:8080/mfs/servlet/contentpagemfs?1,49,Public/Private%20Split
198-55 and of the 55 teams against it 22 are privates and 18 are in class AAA(where there are no D1 privates)....so basically its 198 vs 15...we BETTER get a split this time!!!!!!
Where is this information being gathered from? Did Murphy Fair call every TSSAA school and ask what there preference was, concerning the split? Or, is this public information that TSSAA gathered?
-
I think 2 classes in other sports will work, but the MJCAs, Zions, King's of the world will never have a chance with a loaded D2-A. Plus with more privates popping up, you will be able to add accordingly. cbg might be right, but 3 classes would be better football-wise, imho.

Here is my rendition. This is based off of the enrollment figures from October of 2012 that were used to set the 2013-2017 seasons. Obviously some other factors can be used in figuring out which teams go where, but thought this was a good start. Some schools would probably want to play up in class.

Jonathan Quinn or Paul Wade. Highly unlikely Wade will make the journey back from Ensworth so the job is Quinn's if Wade doesn't get the keys to the school handed to him.
-
Looks like they might be down to 2 finalist for the position, with one being heavily likely over the other... Is there a deadline for DA to make the hire?
Where does DCA go?
in Division II
