    I am trying to track down some information on some old/closed East Tennessee schools. Specifically, I am looking primarily for the nicknames and, if known, the school colors of a handful of schools:

     

    Knox. Austin

    Knox. East

    Boones Creek

    Friendsville

    Lake City

    Lanier

    Maury

    Porter

    Spring City

    Surgoinsville

    Townsend

    Walland

     

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hope I'm not duplicating info but Rhea Central and Spring City merged to form Rhea County.  Both at one time were members of the old Tennessee Valley Conference that included two Alabama schools and was so large it split into two divison's, East and West with plans for the winner of each division to meet on Thanksgiving Day for the Championship.  Conference ran from around 1937 to 196ish.  Spring City went into the Sequoyah Conference later, the Alabama schools along with Grundy Co, So. Pitt. Marion County, Whitwell, Sequatchie County and Bledsoe County split to form The Sequatchie Valley Conference

  2. 8 MAN FOOTBALL WOULD BE A BOOM TO PROGRAMS LIKE LOOKOUT VALLEY...TENNESSEE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IN CLEVELAND MIGHT HAVE SAVED THEIR PROGRAM IF 8 MAN FOOTBALL WAS AVAILABLE........NEVER HAVE BEEN CONVINCED THAT THE TSSAA ALWAYS HAD THE BEST INTEREST OF THE STUDENT/ATHLETE AS THEIR #1 PRIORITY.

    Proposed local Chattanooga 8 man League

    Whitwell

    Sale Creek

    Grace (Chattanooga)

    St Andrews

    Tennessee Christian (Cleveland)

    Copper Basin

  3. Will 3 to 4 players make that big of difference to a school like Lookout Valley?  Or schools that don't play football like Santa Fe?

    And the 8 man football also has a limit on squad size (25, I think).  Could be the answer for smaller 1A schools as it is much cheaper to run.  I recall a large article about this type football here on coach t last year.  I could envision a region/district such as St Andrews, Webb, Whitwell, Lookout Valley, Sale Creek, etc....on an 8 game schedule.  Maybe even play each other twice.

  4. Marion lost its entire lines on both sides of the ball, most of which were three year starters. Also lost two great linebackers that were mr football finalists. If the backups are serviceable, which they looked to be when they played this past year, then Marion may have a big year as they have lots of skill guys back. If they struggle, then the record will reflect it. Need lots of time in the weight room.

    The Marion County Fan page on facebook is reporting that the Warriors will also play Rhea County @ Jasper instead of Ravenwood v Rhea  reported on Coach T.

    Why would / is Whitwell playing Cannon County @ Finley Stadium (Chattanooga)?  Special circumstances?  They played Sale Creek there last year because SC has no home field.  SC travels to Whitwell this year.
