To my understanding, the only county player on the Greeneville Varsity basketball squad is Seth Ottinger. He is a junior, not a starter, and gets very little playing time. Though I do think he could be a starter on any of the 4 county squads.

and doesn't Ottinger's mom and grandmother work for the Greeneville City Schools. That would probably be the reason he comes into the City.

And in the state championship years check where some of South Greene girls came from. But in my opinion if it is a school system (like Greene County) a person should be allowed to attend where they want to. Some school might have a band program where another does not. A certain school might offer academic classes that another may not. Such as Greeneville versus some of the Greene County schools. The county schools have made great strides in the last few years. Talking about South Greene this year they have some good freshman on the basketball team that went to Towering Oaks School. I am not sure where all of them live but they all decided on going to South Greene.

I agree 100% and think that a parent should be able to decide what is in the best interest of their child. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way in all school systems. Just a couple of years or so back M-East had a player that for whatever reason did not fit into the coaching styles of the East coaches and got very little playing time. His parents had to move to the West side of town in order for him to be able to attend West. They did that, and not only did he start for West but was first team All-IMAC. I am sure that they would have rather paid tuition than move.

Actually, Greeneville has 3 students who live in the county on Varsity, Seth Ottinger, Matt Underwood who it out right now due to injury, and Wes Woods. but good call, and on the other hand.....about parenst sending there kids to the county...maybe in other places but in Greeneville Greene County; Greeneville High School has more to offer and is better in athletics then all the county schools combined....

What the heck do "recent transfers" have to do with school size and playing up? People change jobs and relocate their families all the time. I am sure there are plenty of transfer students in various sports all over East TN. Why is it such a big deal that these kids parents relocated to Greeneville? It has been listed as one of the 100 best small towns in America. Who wouldn't want to raise their kids in a great little town like Greeneville (or JC or Blountville or Maryville or just about any place up here in God's country) Greeneville plays up because all of their biggest rivals are in a higher classification. A good rivalry makes everyone better. I hope this one with SH continues for a very long time.

 

If someone as good as Antaine Wiggons moved because of his parents or some other reason, why would he go to Greenville Tennessee of all places.... sounds to me like there was a lil recruiting involved...

You know Jaylo, I will try to explain this so that your very limited capacity can possibly grasp it. People move to Greeneville all the time from other states. There are Fortune 500 companies that operate here. GreenEville has a lot to offer, particularly in the field of EDUCATION, of which you have obviously been deprived. I am sure Antoine's father weighed the benefits of moving to Greeneville heavily before relocating his family.

What fortune 500 companies are you talking about?

      Farragut Blue VS Grey game… oh boy

      By MissHawking · Posted

      Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
