Alcoa played up when Tennessee switched to 6 public school classifications. They did this for a cycle or 2 I believe. After that they had a 3A enrollment. They claimed the TSSAA would never let them play up more than 1 class. But Pearl Cohn asks once and is granted. Funny how that works.

A dang good coach for us too. Probably would've got more recognition if not for Lake County being so dominant at the time.

Glad Coach Wolfe got another opportunity. He's a very good football coach and a better man. One of those coaches that players love to play for. Good luck to Josh and the Patriots.

Last time Alcoa and Covington faced off Covington passed it 3 times. Once for a TD(half of their TDs) and it still took Alcoa down to like 10 seconds to put in the GW score. In most years you're probably right. But when they had a QB like Lomax they were doing their team a disservice running 45+ times a game.

That's commie speak. We're not going to block people from freely moving about the country nor should we. My great grandpa didn't die fighting commies on mars for this kinda talk.

I never made the argument he needed to leave to be discovered though. Just to prove he was the caliber they thought he was. But you're right in that all kids don't need to take that route. Look at all the Groves at East Robertson, huge offers and they don't have to go anywhere to keep em.

Didn't know how the KY football season lined up this year. Just know tilghman is typically a good team and pretty sure they won state last year.

Do school? Ok you've convinced me. We need a change in our approach to education.

No. Thats where you're wrong he wasn't offered for his size and ability. He was offered because of his size and had to prove his ability. That's why he moved.

Paducah Tilghman got a game that week?

The football and basketball players would still probably get their last class as a sport. So essentially all this would do is shove more classes into one day while having less classes in the school year for the typical student . The athletes would have 6 a year regardless plus their sport. Also student athletes typically get better grades and have higher test scores than non-athletes. So maybe more kids should join sports and other activities instead of going through school on autopilot.

Maryville seemed to have popularized this strategy over 20 years ago and it worked for them for a long time. There's a few schools out east who seemed to have copied the strategy. Good news being midstate schools like Oakland went in the opposite direction. They seek out competition and it makes them more formidable in the playoffs. Imo the best ball and best prospects come from the midstate and that's no accident. Iron sharpens iron.

Do we know Kirby got more $$$? This just feels like he played a very public game of chicken with Covington and Covington won. One poster said his wife didn't want to leave. Another said he never met the HC team?? I'm hearing his son didn't want to leave being an upcoming senior. If all these things are true then it just seems like he never intended to coach HC. And pulled the trigger to come back when it was announced Cov was winding down their search.

Not solely for football use or not for football use at all? What's even the point in building an indoor facility and not letting your most important team use it.

I know some HC fans were a little disappointed about the region shake up when they came out. But probably better to break in a new regime against the Clarksville schools than the likes of Hendersonville and Beech.
