  1. I want some opinions from anybody. Does it really make any sense the way the TSSAA does their football classifications by classifying schools according to their enrollments? Why aren't schools classified in football according to how many players are on their varsity rosters? What difference does it make how many students attend a school when, say, only 30 players are on a varsity football roster for a 5A school? You could possibly get a rough estimate a year in advance on how many varsity players a school will have in football and classify according to that. Because there is so much variance in the numbers on the rosters, football is the only sport you could classify this way. It doesn't seem right that you have Maryville with 80-90 varsity players playing in 4A, and then you have a Campbell Co. with 30-40 players playing in 5A, just because Campbell Co. has a higher student enrollment. A very small percentage of the student body plays football anyway. No one can tell me that Maryville does not have an advantage over other 4A schools as far as developing depth, etc. At the same time, 5A schools with 30-40 players such as Campbell Co. are at a huge disadvantage when they play other 5A schools with much larger rosters. In my opinion, schools with the largest varsity rosters should be classified together and on down the line. Any thoughts?

  2. What is the outlook for Powell this year and in the near future? How does their talent stack up with other teams in the region? I heard they have some good young athletes coming up through the ranks. Is this true? Who are some of the players to watch this year and in the future? Finally, with a new coach on board, how will their offensive and defensive systems change from the last few years?

  3. Does anyone know what happened to the Brian Moffitt kid that was at Powell a couple of years ago but then moved to Kingsport? He was a running back. Is he playing football for D-B?

  4. In response to topkak, I have taken a job in Nashville and am looking for a nice community outside of Davidson Co. to live in for my wife and son. Any other suggestions on good surrounding, affordable areas?

  5. What kind of overall athletics program does Mt. Juliet High School have? Is it a good school athletically and academically? Is Mt. Juliet a good area to live in? Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.

  6. When I was talking about true middle school football, I'm talking about football that is sanctioned by the school system. I know in Knox Co. they have youth league football thru 8th grade, but it's not sanctioned by the middle school.

     

    Also, does anyone know if Mt. Juliet, Hendersonville, LaVergne, Centennial, and Brentwood have middle school football?

  7. Regarding my earlier thread, does anyone have any info or opinions about Hendersonville and Mt. Juliet as good areas, good all-around schools academically and athletically, etc. Please give your input. Thanks.

  8. I have a question for the board. I will be moving to the Nashville area soon, and I am looking to live in one of the surrounding counties(not Davidson Co.). What nearby county has the best overall public schools as far as academically, athletically, best athletic facilities, best school support, etc.)? Also, what towns and high schools are the best overall to live in and attend? I know this is subjective, but any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    P.S. I've heard good things about Hendersonville and Brentwood, but I would like some other opinions.
