Tennessee was winning 20-6 in the 3rd. Kentucky came back to win it 41-27 and that's a final score. What's up with Kentucky high schoolers beating Tennessee's like this?

TN takes too many from East TN and not enough from Middle TN. Too political to win at this point!

That game was a democracy. The coaches that coached this game started the kids they had coached . Terence Scott should have been playing wide reciever. According to the stats he had the most recieving yards in all classes during the school year. The coach decided that in the last two minutes of the game when Tennessee was getting whooped, they wanted to play Terence. He returned a 60 yard punt and shook their defense. Yes I am upset because my brother should not have even wasted his time going to this game if the coaches had it already set in their mind that they were going to play kids they had personally coached...........

I can agree with that. I think each region should only be allowed to choose a certain amount of players, so that it divides up equally.

Exactamundo!! Parochialism, jealousy and lack of state pride. What a joke.

I do not know how the players were picked, but it seems strange to me that there were no players from some of the top teams in 5A, such as Riverdale, Franklin, Germantown, Oak Ridge, Dobyns Bennett, etc. There were also no players on the roster from Brentwood Academy or MBA, who are consistently two of the most talented teams in the state. Could anyone tell me how the team was chosen and why so many players from such strong teams were not included?

A panel of coaches that met in March.

I know of an MBA player that was asked to play in the game, and he turned it down. I believe he was asked within two weeks prior to the game. He should have had more notice.

An embarrassment for yet another year. Looking at the roster and not seeing a bunch of names and where the coaches were from gave me the heads up that nothing would change this year.

 

You're right-politics and organization plays a huge part.

As well as obviously not a bunch of pride. Once again, players treating the game rather casually. I was under the impression that if you're given a chance to compete, especially if you are among the chosen few, in a game representing all of Tennessee High School football-you give it your best? Coker the leading rusher with 16 yards on 11 carries?

 

And to end the game on a cheap shot and a fight?

 

Didn't we lose last year on a fumbled punt return?

 

To get smoked by Kentucky is a joke. Maybe the joke is us.

 

Pull the plug on the series-we have no heart for the fight.
