You could make that argument for sevier co. I suppose. But, the difference between an 8 point win over Halls and 12 point win over halls is splitting hairs to me. The entire discussion fails to take a third common opponent into account: Fulton.

Train wreck

Absolutely terrible.

Does it tie in with the "Respect the tradition" stuff I saw on the twitter?

Bearden has only had two 8-win-seasons in the last ten years. HVA has only had one since they existed. Farragut had 4 really good years but has also had some really bad. I don't think that's down to recruiting impacting them.

I said usually. But if you want to get mad about something, why don't you go jump JohnyUtah? He's out here naming folks by name with no proof at all.

Usually they the rumors are based on fact. I've only heard of TSSAA ignoring evidence one time, and that was when they said the testimony of an athlete wasn't sufficient proof. They want concrete proof, (photos, video, writing), and a member school has to turn it in.

I wish every game was on diamond clear. With the exception of the stupid automated commercials you can watch a whole game pretty quickly. Such a great resource for HS football fans.

5star picks : Catholic 41-Powell 38 Central 28- Halls 20 Farragut over Fulton WB over Hardin Valley

I went back and watched last night. The fake punt passed on a 56 yarder... To start the second quarter Alcoa passed on a 47 yarder... Alcoa did pass a 37 yarder with 7 minutes to go in the first... (No points yet on the board.) Alcoa finally scored a TD to close the half. 7-0 In the second half: West passed on a 27-yarder with 7 minutes to go in the 3rd, down 7 (led to interception in the EZ). West passed on a 48-yarder with 4 to go in the 3rd. Alcoa passed on a 42-yarder in the last minute of regulation to take a shot in the EZ. Sidenote: Alcoa is 2/2 on fgs. Both kicked at Cookeville. long of 29. West is 3/3 on fgs. Long of 38, game one against Bearden. Was easy to make the comparisons of stats since they both keep their scoring on digitalscout.

I don't think Alcoa passed up any FG's. I watched that game and don't remember that at all. They might have passed up a long one late.

Yeah, I think the there was a player at Grace that got busted and that really brought to light that most of the privates were doing the same thing.

Here's the most memorable quote from the time: "With most of the private schools moving into Division II, we realize we’re not wanted in Division I with the public schools," Principal Dickie Sompayrac said. "I just think we don’t desire to be in a division where we’re not wanted."

Or I could just change teams every year.

Absolute gold.

I've said it multiple times. I love HS football, and I like it when Knoxville area schools win. Lots of programs I'm proud of. I'd include Maryville and Alcoa in teams I'm proud of as well. I'd love it if we ran the table. I'd take Coalfied in A. Oneida in AA Alcoa in AAA AC, Carter, SD, or Fulton in 4a Anyone from the area in 5a (I even cheered for OR last year) And Maryville is the only realistic chance in 6a. I'm not a big fan of the Div. 2 model, but I'd still cheer for them in the State Finals. I cheer against bad refereeing. And I think most of these coaches care about kids and are giving it everything they've got. I think we could look at everyone and second guess their coaching decisions from HS to the NFL.

Don't want this to dissapear later.

Then why were you talking about kids going to Catholic, CAK, or Webb?

Sounds like I did undstand after all.

DId I misunderstand?

you going for three school in three years?

I don't believe that number is true. and Twitter beef still doesn't make the game or the fee make any sense.

Any small/struggling program would take a whooping for an "obscene amount of money". And those contracts are public record. There would be a story on it in the local press if it were true.
