The program allows athletes and only athletes to take online classes so that their time on campus can be spent on strength and conditioning and preparing them to excel in college athletics.

I don't think his resignation had anything to do with Deuce. If that had been the case he would have resigned after Deuce left. He resigned after an unacceptable losing season and no set plan on how to improve.

Technically they don't have to graduate early. They can continue to complete their high school work while taking a minimal course load at UT (or wherever they are enrolling early).

Answers coming in. Not a lot of TSSAA experience but some coaches with quality backgrounds.

The minute one school in Middle TN tries to build a real boarding school model at least one other would have to follow suit. It would tip the balance of power too greatly with only one - especially at the AAA enrollment. Lipscomb is trying the IMG thing with their Endeavor program but without access to more dorms it can't be as large. Webb BB is only large enough to sustain dominant smaller sports programs. And frankly there are a lot of parents in Middle TN who want their kids to play and not be pushed to the bench by someone transferring in. As long as they are still calling some shots, they're happy to be the best in Middle TN. Where have you gone Deuce Knight?

Very interesting way to look at it. So, since the end of the season in Nashville, you have BA, BGA, DCA, Ensworth, Goodpasture, and Lipscomb making changes. No one promoted anyone from their Fall 2023 staffs (yet). Teddy Bridgewater will be available after the NFL season presumably https://sports.yahoo.com/teddy-bridgewater-plans-retire-2023-201653900.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJk6az7ref5-O3-cAJK_SSTSHc-cgYK78z_Zs93i4LvngGEutiCnHj_TUmAUVvUmsCG-jiw0LYOAcngek0TNy1HHHwNlP5pdLW1hbLzxJpRqMtQ7-teltU9SMxxiLLzZOqesmfeb9Ws1krHaMkk3l3uTbLhjssXLxk3cKdnapf-5#:~:text=It's always nice to see,Teddy Bridgewater intends to do.

And some cakes are definitely better than others.

I know this is a Grace Christian post but mindful that some Knoxville people may be following it, what is Knoxville Catholic doing with their coaching situation? Weren't they the ones who needed a quick fix over the summer and went with co-coaches?

That would be a strong hire. He got a lot out of kids that were at FRA before he got there. He also had the support of the Admin which will be key for BA (and any other school obviously).

I noticed that too. "...we will get it right..." and "...what they have done to the place."

Not the game to give Ty Clark only 18 carries unless that ankle was hurt worse than people thought.

FRA is an excellent team. Their only flaw IMO is the QB's ability to go deep consistently. They could pick on lesser opponents in the region but in the first game vs. CPA the defensive backs got the best of him. They have the O line and ball carriers to run the ball and control the clock but have to play perfectly and call plays perfectly to win. In the other game, DA's defense has to be dominant for 4 quarters. A couple of times this season they let teams get some momentum (Lausanne included) and they can't afford to let BB do that this week. We've been fortunate to get CPA vs FRA twice this season and if we get CPA vs BB in the final I think those are the top 3 teams.

Agreed. McCallie won that game and deserved to win that game. It wasn't close after the first drives by each team IMO.
