Magnet Schools and basketball


Recommended Posts

QUOTE(soccerplayr @ Apr 15 2007 - 09:27 PM) 826438273[/snapback]I am not sure you can classify someone who gets a doctorate from Colombia a lazy bum. However, the topic is Magnet schools and basketball so... anyhow sorry for the last post it came across more passionately then i meant for it too. As a matter of fact i don’t care that much for basketball. the point that i was trying to make was that i think there are some misnomers about a public magnet school, and as magnet school was referred to earlier , having kids pay to go to school, fancy things all that stuff, doesn’t categorize CSAS correctly. but ya it wasn’t taken personally at all.

 

 

We're cool.

Just for the record, I believe that doctorate was awarded to him. I don't think he ever actually earned a degree. But back to the topic....

Just goes to show, there will never be a level playing field, period in high school athletics, You have urban schools, rual schools, magnet schools, schools fully funded by their communities and others that will not pass a sales tax or proberty tax to support their community school.

Use different baits because there are "schools" of fish out there being caught.

Just because the playing field will never be level, doesnt mean we should continue to try to level it. The first way right now is a full and total split of private and publics. PERIOD.

So would you also split off the magnets? After all, that is what this thread is talking about.

I don't think that magnet dominance is a trend. However, it seems as though this year there were several magnet programs represented. Larger school systems are starting to offer more magnet programs for students now. It seems to be a trend in education. Rutherford is now looking at a K-12 magnet program. Parents want more for their students. If academics and athletics are a good combination, I say go for it.

You will have to ask lazarus the definition of "trend." He is the expert about this type of stuff. I have gotten myself in trouble in the past talking about "cycles" and "trends." I agree with you 100% about the value of magnet schools. I am not against magnet schools. I'm just trying to point out the hypocrisy of singling out private schools for so-called "advantages" when other schools also have certain advantages.

Ha! He would split off every single other team. That way when MPHS plays an intrasquad game ... they are assured to be champions. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

So lets see.... that makes 5 divisions as i see it.

DI is urban public schools

DII is rural public schools (after all, these two can't be expected to compete with each other since they have such different backgrounds)

DIII is for private schools: non aid giving

DIV is for private schools: Aid giving

DV is for magnet schools

 

That is all that must be done to level the playing field... oh wait i forgot one.

 

DVI Open zone schools....

 

Ok now, that should keep the playing field nice and level right? everyone agree?

Public schools will need more than (2) divisions.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
