Wow.... Just one more reason for privates to be in Div 11. Sports Academy of Knoxville (CAK) purpose is to provide a place for those who can afford +$10,000 tuition, an advantage in sports. Take sports out of SAK and enrollment would drop from 450 to 100. I would venture to guess that every high school in the state has at least one girl in its school that has left the team for varying reasons (academics, other sports, etc). I can't think of one coach that would allow someone to join the team after summer workouts, 100 practices, and 30 games! Sports at SAK is about winning, winning, and winning. Fairness, ethics, and sportsmanship are the only losers at SAK. Hopefully Fulton, GP, Grainger, Elizabethton, can derail SAK path to a tarnished gold ball !

Me thinks this will not be the last post from MidKnightghost....everyone knows that ghosts can reappear in different forms!

I'll stick with it.Did not say they were bad, only average.Maryville 7-7 William Blount 10-10 Alcoa 7-5 Heritage 10-6 (2 wins vs a school with less than 200 students) Knoxville's best five Farragut 16-2 Bearden 13-4 Fulton 10-3 Webb 12-4 Div II CAK 9-4 Yes; William Blount upset Bearden. Average teams beat good teams every night. Just sayin, Blount teams are down this year and will not get past Knox teams come tournament time. Mentioned travel ball play as a possible reason Knox may be more advanced, could be wrong on this theory. I guess all will be revealed in the next month!

All four Blount Co teams are average at best. Knox has several teams that are better.CAK, Webb, Fulton, Farragut and Bearden will or would sweep their Blount counterparts. The Knox teams have more players that play quality travel ball during the summer.

Another fine example of why Privates should be in seperate classification. I'm sure they will win 3 straight states, at least middle TN will lose it's strangle hold on girls titles.

Would be a good position, large enrollment and lots of nearby summer teams!

Could move HHS to a district contender?

Soph post from Greenback...look very good during AAU season

2 daughters 1 always wears Nike not sure of models...no problems. 1 has similar problems that you describe. She has done Ok with Adidas. Nike too narrow. Nfinity is her favorite but it broke down fairly quick. Local stores don't have a large selection of woman's shoes, and ordering a correct fit is always a crap shoot. Hope to hear from Coach T's son when new shoes comeout !

With new coach ,,,,less infighting....you may be right. Cause there's alot of talented girls at William Blount.

Is the transfer one of the CAK girls retuhning home? Also heard Heritage may get a good post via transfer. Both these schools may contend for district with these transfers.

Playing Grace to get use to turf ?

Hey Jet For 2013 it looks like Stone may move up. Will Cumberland Co move down with new enrollment #'s ?

Agree 100%. Private and Public should be split. The preseption from publics that privates have an unfair advantage by recruiting and cheating will never, never, never go away! Had a daughter that went to a private, went to many games and heard gripes, grumbling etc from public parents. And yes...the players knew they were despised by many. I now have a son in a public school and now I feel privates have an unfair advantage(what goes around comes around ) I guess. Another plus of splitting...1/2 of the arguements on Coach T would end! Also agree that the districts should have the same amount of teams. Current proposals have some with 5 some with 9....all should have same# + or - one. I realize its a difficult job to get schools in same district that are located somewhat in the same area with similar enrollments. I would err on the side of location.
