Name?

That game opened the season for several years back in the early part of the 2000s, if memory serves. With 8 team regions beginning next season, available common dates aren't as easy to find when there were 5, maximum 6, schools in each region.

It doesn't. Jesse and his guys cover the schools in the Knoxville region pretty well. Much better than anybody else in this market does. Some get more coverage because they tend to go deeper in to post season than others. Plus, some schools tend to cooperate more in providing answers to questions and providing pertinent information when asked for it. What school don't you think is getting the coverage it should?

Uh huh.

There's no question that in a perfect world that a grass field is better than an artificial turf field. But we don't live in a perfect world.

Yeah, calling Scott a program killer is just a moronic statement from the get-go. Scott has always been a good football coach. His personality just didn't work in some situations, including Cleveland. He did a great job at West, as is evidenced by the state championships and other deep playoff runs there, and he made the Halls program better for Brent to step in to. Not judging anything from his Oak Ridge experience. One year is not enough to make an evaluation. But I never thought he and Joe would mesh. Personally, I have always liked Scott. He was one of the better interviews among coaches because he always said what was on his mind with no punches pulled. That got him in trouble at times, but as a broadcaster I appreciated his brutal honesty.

The Knox County facilities that were among the first to get turf installed are coming up on having it replaced. And, yes, there are corporates involved in footing the bill, in exchange for advertising exposure, as was the case with Pilot. And there's nothing wrong with that. One difference is that there won't be anybody taking a big commission from the monies donated for the turf install this time around.

It's really not if you think about the logic you were trying to use. If it were a public school playing on a private school campus, then your argument might have merit, but that's not the case. With the exception of required security/administrative personnel on duty, nobody from the public school would even be there unless it was their own choice to come and watch. And you don't know who CCS contacted about using their facilities, nor where they are actually going to end up playing home games at this point.

Yep. Like I have said for years, in order for a student to transfer to another school - be it public/private/parochial - the parents have to want it to happen in the first place. Takes two to tango. Bat poop crazy parents are the issue these days more than the students.

Exactly how is that? Specifics, please. So, if a kid from a different zone comes to play in an AAU basketball tourney or a travel baseball tourney, is that an advantage for the school where the event is being played? Using your logic, it's an advantage for the school where the game is being played more than for the private school renting the public-school facilities. And it's not like they are playing the games during the school day when the students are on campus. See how that works? Honestly, it's really not an issue.

Knox? 🤯

Full time AD only. Knox County went to that model 3 or 4 years ago. They have a dedicated AD now so the Assistant Principals can actually do assistant principal work, and not athletic department work 24/7.

Why? Other sports organizations that includes students not enrolled at a particular school are allowed to use the public school facilities. Not an issue.

Just like most everywhere else. He's the overseer of all aspect of sports at the school - coaches, eligibility, finances, facilities, schedules, plus other responsibilities.

Scott was named the AD at Halls High School this morning, as expected. Going back where he was the head coach 3 years ago.
