I have said this before but I want to know other peoples opinions.

 

I really think this whole split argument is masquerading itself as a public/private issue when the real issue is about urban advantages over rural areas??? Now I am not trying to put down rural areas. I went to college in one and loved it. But the fact is there are certain advantages in athletics when it comes to urban areas like more AAU opportunities and countless leagues for kids to develop there talent in. Since 99% percent of private schools are in urban areas and most public 1A schools are in rural areas it seems to come across as a public/private issue. Like I said I am not trying to put down rural areas I just think kids have a greater chance to develop their athletic ability in urban areas and urban areas SEEM to produce better athletes.

 

And take a look at AAA for instance where there are no privates. Most championships in AAA are won by urban city or county schools. You don't see the larger rural schools win as many championships. Schools like Brentwood and Germantown and Bearden and Ridgeway win championships or tend to dominate.

 

So what do ya'll think??? Am I on to something here??? Give me your opinion.

I said AAA. I didn't mean 3A in football. And I would count White House as an urban school. That is basically Nashville. But that is beside the point since I meant AAA.

 

Girls and Guys Soccer, Tennis, and several other sports were won by urban schools in the major metro areas. I think that Basketball was too. If you look at AA I think you will find many of the same results with urban areas dominating. Maybe there are more AAA urban schools so therefore they should win more but I don't know. It is worth looking into more.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
