  1. Thanks. Where are the camps and tournaments held? Do the players just sign up for them or do they have to be invited? If they have to be invited, how do they get invitations? Sorry for all the questions, but I have a young nephew who is interested in playing in college.
  2. Question from someone who is new to lacrosse. How do these young men get recruited by colleges that are so far away? Do the coaches come to Tennessee to see games?
  3. Will there be internet streaming video of this game anywhere on the Web?
  4. Get a life. It's high school football. I guess since ole cantthrowarockasfarashisson is one of your favorite posters that makes us enemies now No, I think you are a Giles County fan, so we can't be enemies.
  5. That is a really funny post. I am a country boy who sends his kids to public school. My sister married well and her son goes to MBA. I have never been called pompous before but I kind of like the sound of it. I don't know what the Swan Ball is, but if you can't wear overalls, I would have to turn down the invite. As I said, my nephew has nothing but good things to say about Ensworth. He just finds the academic environment at the 2 school very different. I am sorry if I offended someone--but I was just giving a viewpoint for the benefit of folks who may not be familiar with either school.
  6. My nephew is not in any AP or Honors classes. Honestly, he couldn't compete with the other kids at that level. He says that all the boys at MBA work as hard as he does. From what he says, I think your assumption that there are easy classes for the less gifted is not true at MBA.
  7. My nephew went to Ensworth Middle School and then left in 9th grade for MBA. He had a great time at Ensworth and has nothing but good things to stay about the school. However, the academic rigor at MBA was a big, big adjustment for him. At Ensworth, he often had his homework done before he left school (and he tells me that his former classmates tell him they are still able to do this routinely.) At MBA, he is up until 11 or 12 every night getting his work done. His teachers could care less if he had a game the night before a test or has a game scheduled on the evening after a test. He is just expected to get the work done like anyone else. He was a straight A student at Ensworth and, while he is a good student at MBA, he is nowhere near the top of his class. From what he has told me, Ensworth is just a different kind of school with different kinds of academic expectations. One could argue whether or not having a 14 or 15 year old kid up doing homework until midnight every night is really the best thing for the kid, but that's the MBA expectation.
  8. Week off oughta help, but Sycomore played both Glencliff and Greenbrier tough.
  9. As long as the refs are not from KY, TC should be OK.
  10. As a public school parent who looks at CoachT from time-to-time, I finally came across something that I had to comment on. I have to say the recent comments by GreyGhost, TransplantMom and Bostie were totally out of line. You may not agree with 3yards but he has a right to his opinion and his initial points were not personal attacks on anyone. Your comments about his personal chararacter show your own pettiness and the weaknes of your argiments. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
