Upperman beatdiwn of Stone by 17. Cobb 31 points. The glitch was Stewarts Creek where the whole team was riddle with the flu. They just might be best in 3a

Agree. This bennifits open zoned counties. Still can't cross county or district lines without space and schools approval, but for 1 move, you don't have to sit for a year.

Grass os best

And what is amazing, there was still more talent walking the hallways. The football program was new at winning big. Still was considered a baseball and basketball school. Alot of the Jr high football talent only played baseball, basketball, or basketball abd baseball. That group went to state round robin in baseball spring of 2013, semi's in football fall of 2013, and the state basketball tournement in 2014. Was a great class of kids. Loaded with size, speed, numbers.

Talent wise, 2013 upperman was better than those three

I agree

Rep. Scott Cepicky, R-Culleoka, proposed a bill this week that would force the Tennessee high school athletics governing body to change its bylaws and allow athletes one free transfer without eligibility restrictions. Cepicky’s House Bill No. 0025 would make it illegal for a public school to belong to an interscholastic athletic association that restricts eligibility in that way. HB0025 is written to allow a free one-time transfer without restriction. The TSSAA’s current eligibility rules would apply to all transfers after that. “(Other) courts have already ruled, with the transfer portal in college, that prohibiting an athlete from moving school to school is against the law,” Cepicky said. “I think what we're doing is trying to preempt the Wild West (of unlimited transfer legislation) by saying we acknowledge one time is fair. Hopefully, that will be enough that it will stand up in court

The more and more divisions we have , I think it gets watered down. Back in the days of 3 divisions and the pivates played with the public was much more brutal. Imagine say 2024, Macon was in the old AA and played teams from Giles County sized up to Page's size .......including private schools like BGA and CPA. Not to mention Alcoa would have been in AA in a 3 divsion format. You have to look at that when judging teams of the past.

I hope they keep it rolling

1. Alcoa 2. Springfield 3. UHS/Pearl 5. Greenville/Anderson 7. Haywood 8. Melrose 9. Dekalb 10. Marshall

I'm no gatekeeper of anything. I do see my fair share of teams play over a vast area, not simply the team I follow and thier opposition. Some people don't like to hear straight talk, and that's fine with me. We are all entitled to an opinion, and entitled to be called out on it. I remember the days around 2008-10 saying UHS was the next big thing in sports. Also saying if Macon could ever hire a quality coach, which they did, and keep politics out of the program...they also can compete on the big stage like other good programs. Most of the Smith County, Trousdale County, Cookeville folks and futher would snickered at those prospects. Looks like it's come full circle.

Why would they be done?

If they can sustain it better than after the 2005 great team, build on it. I say maybe 7-3 next season then back near top in 2026 once Chaffin is gone. Carlise at QB, Greer at RB will be a tough combo. Shoulders needs to keep bring kids in, legally, and keep the momentum going.

10-5 2005 LA, 2013-2018 UHS 14-1 in division with Alcoa, 2024 13-2 Macon...were all good and near the best ever.

Greer kid will be a beast for Macon
