Algood,can,t remember if it was in Overton or

Putnam county?

HA! I thought of Rickman High but forgot about Algood which was right under my nose.And my dad even taught & coached there for the last 3 years of it's existence. It closed in 1966 when the then "Putnam County Senior High" opened in Cookeville.

Nicknamed the "Redskins"...Still are(at Algood Elementary).

Schools should concentrated on competence in the basics.  The IB programs are baloney for the most part.  I have seen a downward spiral over the past 30 years as a result of losing basics in lieu of t

What if some of the schools we knew and loved had not been closed. What would a modern helmet look like for these schools. Here is Friendsville which was closed to make William Blount.

I believe in Henderson County (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the Sardis Blue Devils had a heck of a basketball team for a 130-140 person high school back in the day. The gym's still there but the school's been closed for a long while. And I agree, this thread is awesome.

 

Nearby to Sardis in Hardin County were Saltillo and Morris Chapel. These have probably been closed for quite some time.

 

Also, Pickwick Southside closed in the late '70s after the school burned down. When they reopened the school, it only included K-9 at the time. Southside was the Eagles.

 

I remember Sardis. I think the school closed in the late 80s and was consolidated into Scotts Hill.

Afraid I may repeat a few, but several years ago a group of us listed about twenty from Nashville alone. Let's see.......

 

West ????

North Yankees

East Eagles (go red and grey)

Goodlettsville Trojans

Madison Rams

Dupont Bulldogs

Pearl Tigers (Now MLK Magnet (Knights?))

Cohn ???? (Now a part of Pearl-Cohn Firebirds)

Cameron ?????

Litton Lions

Haynes ????

Central ?????

Howard??????

Donelson Dons

Two Rivers Pirates

Meigs Mavericks

Columbia Military Academy (Replaced by Columbia Academy)

Castle Heights Military Academy

 

 

In southern Middle Tennessee Lincoln County replaced Flintville, Central (Fayetteville), Booneshill and I think Petersburg.

 

Sad part is that with consolidation, it means there are kids who will not get the opportunity to play. Not great players, but students who should be able to participate. I learned more about life on the field than I ever did in the classroom. I learned enough in the classroom to get an academic free-ride, so don't attack with a jock-syndrome kind of thing.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.

      You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.

      I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.
