You don't get it. They don't want spotted any points. They want to play only other public schools only. What's the big deal of private schools playing other private schools and public playing public schools. The only reason they are grouped together is for TSSAA is because of $$$. Enough said and I am done on the subject.

{blinders} you still just don't get it, you just want to attack. LOL Have a great Christmas and if I ever get coffee split on me, I will be sure to tell the kid, like I did the last time, don't worry everybody has a day. And leave a tip anyway. LOL And yes this does have to do with 'fair play' -- you just dont get it. LOL

LOL Boy, I wish money could be found in a briefcase! LOL And yes, rich people make money in all kinds of ways, yes your right by working their butts off. But if you want to get technical they make it other ways also, screwing the next guy over, stealing from the other guy, turning a blind eye to his fellow being, waiting for grandpa and grandma to knock off , or better yet, when mom and dad take the plunge and YES working hard for some people. So please, I was being a very level headed when I wrote my first entry so dont demean yourself by acting like a butt. And a little hint even people who cann't make ends meet work their butts off also! I still say the TSSAA should look at placing the private and public in different divisions. Johnny in rural boonies USA gets out of school at 2:3pm--practice until 5:3pm run home get a shower,grab something to eat--head to work and work 6 pm to 11 pm or 12 am. Get back up at 5 am and start the day over. Plus works weekends. Private Privy ? Mom or Dad Got a buck? I have known people give their kids debt cards and put a weekly allowance in it!! Now Tell me this isnt true! Plus they get their cars and insurance, clothes, mad money!! (And I am not stupid and realize that not ALL parents are this way with their kids) I don't be grudge them! This is what THEIR PARENT's work hard for to give their kids the best they can afford. But Please dont play ignorant and say that the field is equal. The schools should be divided.

Most kids in the rural areas have to pay for their own cars, insurance, clothes, sport fees and such. Work jobs and practice their sports, and not miss ONE practice or they lose their spot. I don't see a lot of kids, who's PARENT'S can afford to put them in private schools, HAVING to hold down jobs like most rural kids. I can just say "Nice BMW and cool threads! Or How was the vacation in Denver sking or sunning in Florida? As you can tell by the last quote I made I KNOW I am being a smart a$$- but I really do not hold it against the private schooled kids for their PARENTS wealth. I just want it to be known that MOST kids in the rural areas HAVE to work AND make sure they don't miss practice if they want to play. It's not a matter of choice for most and most kids in the rural area cann't run to their parents and expect them to foot the bill for a car payment and a night out with the buddies or girl friend. SO I do applaud the rural students who do work hard and also make time for sports! That's my point. And there ever is a vote on private vs public. I think they should be two different divisions. Have a great Christmas everyone!

Your right about the time a player attends a practice. But again a lot of kids in the public forum dont have parents that can buy them cars, pay their car insurance and give them $50 to run to the mall or just 'hang' with their buddies, or even a cell phone. A lot of the rural area kids have jobs and they pay for this themselves. Their parents are both usually working to just keep a roof over their heads and HOPE that their kids can get a scholarship to attend college. So I applaud these PUBLIC SCHOOL kids who go the extra mile of working hard at pratice and drag in late to get ready to go to work and work on their weekends and keep their grades up. Everyone gets upset when people say Private -VS- Public schools. This will be that way until the TSSAA get off the $$$ greed they make out of it and classify schools where they belong, different divisions. I think Private Schools would love the challenge of playing in their OWN divisons, just as public would theirs. But again it all stems down to how much of $$$ the TSSAA is willing to give up in order for this spat to stop between everyone. Have a Great Christmas Everyone!

Region 6: East Hickman, Fairview, Harpeth, Hickman County, Lewis County, Loretto, Richland Well it's going to be an interesting season next year. It will be really interesting seeing East Hickman team's first game with us! I know there are a lot of kids that don't play because its hard for them to get home from practice from Centerville. This is great they will be given an opportunity to play! Welcome and its great to be back playing with some old favorites! See you next season folks!!

How terrible! What school does he play for! Our prayers are with him and his family. I knew this was going to be a hard loss for LC. This GP team is good. When we played LC they were tough but we out played them. Our team dropped the ball when it was important and LC was rewarded with a narrow win. This is the facts of playing the game--you mess up it gives the other team the advantage. Next friday is the game of all-- GP and CPA should prove to be a awesome game. Good luck to both the teams. Keep your heads up LC you only lost by 5 more points than us. AND everyone has lost to GP so far!

Yes Papatiger, LC does have some big boys but GP has big honking boys and they are toned! Built like brick houses! I dont think GP is going to skunk LC- I dont think they are going to risk their key players getting hurt before they really need them. Like I said before, I have seen both teams play--I say GP wins this one hands down.

Sorry folks I give GP this win. GP 49 LC 0 I have seen GP play and I have seen LC. Sorry LC you are going to see some bumps.

Ok Thanks so much! I will not go on ebay! saving pennies now! LOL Keep warm friday night folks!! Woo! Hoo! MORE FOOTBALL!! LOL Drive safely!!

Wow! Thanks a lot EVERYONE! So much to learn! LOL I am going to have to hit Pawn shops for items though (still feeding football players) LOL I can start a bit at a time! I appreciate everyone's help! Have you all priced on Ebay. They seem to have some stuff there. You just have to really watch who you buy from. See you all at the games!!!!!!!!!!

Would this be a good starter camera? Canon Digital Rebel XTI w/18-55 Silver Kit

Hey MtSports! That last topic got shut down so I thought I would thank you here. I guess I will have to save up a little more $$! I appreciate the advice. I guess I will have to stick with my little pocket warmer for a short time more! LOL Don't let complaints get you down either. I had a parent complaining to me about the meals I was serving-granted no one else would do the freshman and JV meals, I saw a need and filled it. It just so happened a nice gentleman who use to coach was within hearing distance and came up to me and said "You will never make 100% of the people happy, just do the best you can!" And he was and is right! I just wish I had your skills! See you at the Games! Thanks again!

Your the person who I need to talk to. I want to take pictures of our team also. I need some advice on what merchandise to start with. I have between $300 to $500 to spend on a digital camera (the prices are starting to come down). I am using one now but it blurs on action. I cannot very well yell out on the field "HOLD THAT SPOT!" CLICK! LOL Can you recommend a good starter camera that won't blur out so easy on actions and good to use at night games in my price range? I appreciate the help. Thanks!

So true! I was just home a week ago (washington/idaho area) and football is ok but its not played with so much as heart as here. I see how fortunate these players are to be playing and so many people doing for them. Up there they are striving for their kids to be 'politically correct' rather than leave the politics to the adults and enjoy this time in their lives-- your only a kid once and you only get to play high school football 4 years! Boys! Have the time of your life and relish every minute of it! But remember its ok to stretch a hand out and help your opposing team player up- he is giving his all too. My husband's family is from the good 'ol south, and I thank God I can raise my boys here! God's Country! Football Country! LOL Again-- Good luck EVERYONE! Nothing set in stone until it's done!

Thank you! Good Luck to all!

Everyone just keep bad mouthing Fairview. Ok GP beat us--THEY BEAT EVERYONE! CPA- Beat us, well GP beat them also--and they also beat everyone WE BEAT! Not yelling just stressing the point. Fairview lost to two teams-GP and CPA. that makes us third in a HARD region. Fairview made a lot of mistakes, but they are working on changing their game to conform to the new teams they are playing.. But you cannot deny they have improved greatly in the game now that they playing harder teams. (so you all keep patting your backs and saying we are bad- you beat the same teams we did) --I am not slamming anyone on the next comments its just true-- that is it is hard for a public school to compete with private schools. A fact of life and money. I think we do pretty good for having old equipment and our coaches doubling as field keepers. Our coaches and players keep our field neat and clean and paint it before every game. Fairview has been the b*stard child of Williamson County for so long. The money stays strictly in the Franklin area. Franklin Hig School gets a new face on it and ta da stuff-- they paint Yellowjackets on our bricks. Come on! AND that was volunteered by an exceptional local artist! It gave the kids a little pride in themselves that their own school county board wont do! So before you all going slamming the team and coaches here you better open the book instead of just looking at the cover and spitting on them. Now as far as the Lewis County game I realize their home field advantage an we haven't played them in I think 2 years. They have grown accustiomed to there same teams they play. I am not dissing Lewis County but I will have to pick Fairview for a tight win. AND Good Luck to both teams and a safe night for all. Fairview 28 Lewis C. 20

We would love to have a reporter like you in Fairview. How about a trade! I have seen your work and it is excellent! Our reporter is so bias he forgets it takes a TEAM not just a few select players to win a game. Thank you for giving of your time, that is more than most of the parents do who's own kids play the sports! From one volunteer to another, keep up the good work, it's worth it when you can make the difference in at least one kid's life!

Fairview 2A: Cole Cassidy #44 and Jareth Baldwin #54 Also Nathan Stout with Independence High School.

I would have to say I pick Jareth Baldwin (OL/DL) of Fairview. He hits and plays hard. There is usually two players on him at all times and they avoid trying to take the ball through his side. Ok I am going to say as for his character, there couldnt be better in my eyes. He never complained when he lost his home and his horse. He he mowed lawns his freshman year and made sure he was at practice every day and practiced hard. His Sophmore year, he worked all through it. He would get the tar beat out of him holding the line on a friday night and would be at work early saturday morning. And when things are tight at home-- well Jareth always helps out finacially when he can. And your right,, I couldnt ask for a better son. He practices hard, plays hard and has a heart of gold. AND reguardless of who you are I know he would give you the shirt off his back.

Bring a Blanket folks! Going to be COoooOOOLLLLlllLLD out there tonight!! Are you ready for some football?! Fairview Welcomes CPA to the Hive! Safe ride here and home to all!

Well I am going to step in on this message pretaining to the news coverage in Fairview. I have heard MANY complaints from the community about the (my opionion) Moronic local sports writer. Several boys on the team have made fantastic plays, sacks, and tackles. The sports writer is prejudiced against several of the players (bad mouthing them off the field to unbeknown family members) and covers only those on the team he 'chooses'. I guess its who you know and what to kiss. Like I tell the boys, some players are going to be more in the lime light. That is the positions they play BUT it takes a WHOLE team to make them look good. But, this is something for the parents to take care of and should not concern the team. It's not their fault the moron (in my opionion) harshly judges those who do not fall into his chosen 'lens or column'. And your right I have seen better coverage on the Fairview team in their competitors local paper, maybe the guy should learn something about loyality to his own home town team.

I think it will be Fairview by a TD and a Eric kick! Sorry CPA.

I am a Mom of 4 boys! I am use to that kind of game! That can be any day in this house! LOL Have a good one!

Fairview 42 East Robertson 8 Good Job Fairview!
