    Does Cleveland have a natural grass field? Also, any word on whether Diamond Clear will carry the game or not. I would think their viewership would be up this year and getting sponsorship would not be a problem. Looking forward to season starting!

    I'm trying to find that out. I know that they are carrying the OR-HVA game, but I haven't heard about any others.

    Turf

    Y'all don't have to be in sun either, they flipped their field a few years back with the new stands.

    Did you know Kroger will honor their store coupons a week after they expire.  Also Bojangles will honor a Hardee's coupon even though the food is no good at Hardee's anymore. These are just a few of Barney's coupon tricks and tips to get your money's worth..

    What Hardee's? I can't find one in Blount County.

  4. I apologize for reading the ad.  I really don't think you know me very well.  That's why I put my phone number on here.  Message boards are not a good way to make assumptions of people.

     

     Just know....there are a lot of good things happening at WBHS.  I think the reason many WB and HHS folk get defensive is because all they ever hear about is Maryville and Alcoa.  Yes they are great schools.  But we have just as many good students and just as many good teachers here as well.  Heck our ACT scores surpassed Alcoa last spring for the first time ever.  We have 12 AP classes.  We have kids every year that score perfect on the ACT.  Two years ago we sent kids to Yale and Penn.  Last year we sent one to Duke.  So..yes...there are WB supporters that feel like this information is not heard by the public.  

     

    Yesterday the Advanced Ed Accreditation team finished their visit of WBHS (accreditation happens once every four years).  WBHS scored a 306 with the Advanced Ed average score being 276.  One of the members of the team said, "wow..I had no idea all of these things were happening at this school.  I just thought Maryville and Alcoa were the only good schools in Blount County."  He then stated that with everything that we offer academically from AP classes to everything we offer in the CTE building that a parent would be crazy not to send their child to WBHS.  I have always wondered why graduates of WBHS who live in the county send their kids to city schools.  I graduated from WBHS in 1989 as valedictorian and went on to have a 4.0 at Maryville College.  I am pretty sure we educate kids just fine.

     

    The one thing we have never been able to fully do well for extended periods of time is win in male sports.  Yes we have had a few nice years, but they come few and far between.  Many feel like outsiders have a negative view of WBHS because of our male sporting teams, when sports are "extra-curricular."

     

    I know this is a sports message board, but I just wanted to throw those things out there.  Anyway, sorry for reading the ad.  

    Where does Oliver Springs come in?
