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.

The Walland Indians were the 1975 A State Champs. This school was closed to make Heritage.

As others have mentioned, the first ones I thought of was the Goodlettsville Trojans (blue and gold) and the Madison Rams (orange and white). Still remember going to some of their games, in fact found a 1970 and 1972 Trojans yearbooks at a yardsale, and I know that Greenbrier is now home to a few old Goodlettsville alumni.

So you old Trojans moved further out into the country! :lol:

They were good Schools. When I graduated in 1979.

Madison & Goodletsville Highs had the highest Academic scores in Davidson Co.

A few in my class are living in the Hendersonville area.

3 schools were closed in Metro Nashville to form Hunters Lane.All three schools had good football programs.They were Goodlettsville Trojans,Madison Rams and The Dupont Bulldogs

Actually, most of the DuPont zone (Hermitage) relocated to McGavock. Only the village and rayon city are zoned to HuntersLane.

 

I remember some great games against Dupont! I know of all these schools except Haynes? Where was that at?

Haynes is located on Trinity Lane in somewhat North Nashville. It was open as a high school before desegregation. It is a middle school now although called Gra-Mar

There is more than one Tony but they are all related. My Mother was a Resha. My Sister in law married Kevin Thomas class of 76.

My sister went to School at St Joe with the Resha clan from Goodletsville.

      The New Word of the Day at Maryville High is Tuition.  Everytime the superintendent hears about the yellow paint on the football field he gets Tuition he could stick that can of paint up someone's behind.

      GoFundMe for Blackman Freshman with Spinal Cord Injury

      By mat73557 · Posted

      QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
