Cross country scoring mkes it completely unfair.

 

i say it should be done with a total time instead of

the place/points thing

 

 

 

That's absurd, how is it not fair? If five runners come through before another team's five runners then that other team is better.

If cross country were scored on aggregate time, then a single good runner with a weak team could, in theory, win a title. At the very least, a team with a weak 5th could overcome him. Scoring places accentuates the team aspect of the sport ... and a team has to be at least 5 deep.

lipscomb lost their 1 and 3 man, and i would never count FRA out, they just grow runners at their school

 

 

ill be honest FRA has a few good runners left but its definately not enough they were dissappointed with the unfortunate 6th place finish this year but this year i would think they would take it with open arms

 

we had 4 solid runners last year if we all had a good day at state we could of done some major damage to bad

and only one mention thus far of MLK.

 

they lost 1 and 3, with 4 guys returning already sub 18, ask me today, and i'd give them the title.

 

but all the usual contenders are doing exactly that.

 

Lipscomb has one returning under 17 and 3 right at or under 18 so there are no guaranteed titles. just hard work

    • 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. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
