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.

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.

 

 

Yeah, that's them. I grew up in the dust of Peay Park, so the Resha's, the Thomas' (Melody and "Pokey") and even Jamie Denton (the actor) were some of the people I hung out with there. Goodlettsville wasn't that big back then and on the ballfield everybody knew everybody. There are probably several other names I could mention from the Gateway area that you would know (the Randolphs, Janco's, Brown's, Lawson's) that you might know.

 

When I said Tony I meant Stubblefield.

U said it not me! :thumb:

Yeah, he's a Pastor in Cookeville. Has two of his Children serving in the National Guard! And his youngest is a Soph at Cookeville High. I just talked to him last night.

 

 

His parents live in my neighborhood. I haven't seen them in a while, but I remember them telling me that he was a pastor now that you mention it. "Kevin" (will always be "Pokey" to me), would know who I am.

 

Small world.

All the Nashville schools you mentioned are now Middle schools. Cameron was the Panthers and won a Basketball state in the 70s. I played football for Cameron as an 7th and 8th grader after 15 years of it being gone. Most of the schools still have the same mascot they did at the time they were High Schools. Stadiums still exist as they did then but more run down now.

No, But I did see pictures of those uniforms. Ugh!

We had a new Coach order Black, Orange #s and white trim and that only lasted one season. Guess who we looked like! We always had tuff games against the Spartans. I think we won 2 out of the three during my years. 76-78!

      11 million dollar addition to HVA

      By HTV · Posted

      As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.

      Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality.

      I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....

      I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district

      I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through
