Not All the college coaches at the Titian event agreed with you sir. There were several colleges at the NEXT LEVEL EXPOSURE CAMP. There will be several more at the NPA EXPOSURE CAMP Sunday at TSU. I personally have had a lot of success and networking at different exposure camps. I have 5 college graduates this spring FULL RIDES due to EXPOSE CAMPS. Not All are camps are the same. Not all high coaches have relationships with the college scouts for their area. So when a coach sends film without any contacts at the college it is not a priority.

I am willing to BET that Harpeth has never been in a fight like the one they are about to be in friday. Pearl is one of the HARDEST HITTING teams in the state on any level.

Under Coach Brunetti, Pearl has placed more young men in college than any other football program in middle tennessee.
