Indy and Franklin are not "up there." They are at the top of a mediocre district at best. Lower coach's supplements, no athletic periods for teams, lack of athletic support from the district office, higher academic standards that cause more athletes to be ineligable than other counties, a lack of work ethic in a lot of the players because of an entitled attitude by helicopter parents, weaker weight rooms and weight training, and a lot more that I have not named all lead to a much weaker football county than Rutherford.
I bet there are single teams in Rutherford County that have more 500 lb squats and 400 lb bench pressers than there are in all of Williamson County. That takes work and dedication that too many of the entitled Williamson County students are not going to give.
