With all due respect West TN and East TN aren't purged by the presence of private schools nearly as much as schools in Middle TN 

They DO hv open zoning and magnet schools with highly "selective acceptances."

Athletically speaking, West TN has Briarcrest and maybe Christian Bros...East has Knoxville Webb, Catholic, and Notre Dame.

Middle TN has MBA, CPA, BA,Goodpasture, Clarksville Academy, Ensworth, Webb, Columbia Academy, FRA, BGA, GCA....MOST all within 15-30 mins drive of each other and the public schools they pull from.

Thats why middle TN dominates D2 and not D1.  Zero debate.

Oh, and 3-4 kids dont move from out of state to form super teams at the same public school either.

That was a very entertaining game between two really good teams. Fairview could never get over the hump in the second half. They got within two points, just to see Giles Co. answer right back with a barrage of three pointers to push the lead to double digits.Good luck to both teams in their sub state game. Fairview High School and staff should be recognized for hosting both District and Regional  Tournaments. You all did an awesome job and should be very proud. A packed gym  with fans from both sides cheering their teams and creating an electric atmosphere is what players from both teams will remember for the rest of their lives. That is what high school basketball is all about. Big shout out to P A  announcer from Fairview  he is fantastic !! 

Amen!

Not sure if you're just finding this out, but Giles County hasn't exactly been going very far in the postseason the last few seasons.

That was EXACTLY my point....had FvHS and Giles played the last 6yrs, I doubt it'd be 19-0.  Fvhs boys basketball has been, historically bad.  More wins in last 6yrs than nearly previous 20.

Nothing but the best to Giles...team is great, coach does it right, great fans.  Good luck!

Pretty crazy stat: GCHS is 19-0 versus Fairview since CoachT was launched.

GC is a great group and well coached!  They hv a chance to go very deep.

Another crazy stat...1st time GC and FvHS hv played in 6 yrs.....hmmm?

From my interpolation, The tweet was about race. Saying he has lost 3 black players over the years and underutilized the 6’8 one that he has. 

Its a tweet by a person trying to derail the coach and program even if that means inventing problems from thin air- just like "Williamson Co kids get overlooked bc of race!?!"  Thats an insane statement for a public school district that has as many or more college athletes yearly than any other county in the state.  You can debate why-($,population, facilities, coaching...whatever) but there is definitely not an exposure problem.

Btw...All 3 kids shes claiming were "run-off" were football 1st kids that left to focus on that sport. One of those kids is the basketball coach's son's best friend and another one's parents are close friends with the coach and his wife!!!  Lastly, the 6"8" kid has been coached by the coach since he started basketball at age 5...the coach is very close to that family as well AND that kid wasnt going to tryout freshman year....until the coach went to his house and encouraged him for 2 hrs to not give upon his dream.

Twitter person prob should of done her homework 1st

...but clearly she's attempting to send the 6'8" SENIOR'S last yr up in flames for her own selfish motives by using him, a kid, in a public forum.

Everything you read on social media isnt true.   Good luck to everyone!

Where did you get these numbers? Just curious. Every time I look it up, there are different reports 

Google: "Harpeth High TSSAA portal"  shows current enrollment class (obvious not up to min, but close) and all things concerning athletics for any TSSAA school.

So....Harpeth and Cheatham are single A?

Fairview 711 students

Cheatham 633

Harpeth 520
