That has to be the most interesting article posted that I have ever read on CoachT. I am amazed. It is a story worth reading, and a definite education on the history of MBA and Ensworth's relationship. I had no idea how Ensworth came about from a small k-8 school in Green Hills to what it is today.

I posted the same article a couple of weeks ago and got hammered for posting it. I thought it was insightful as to the MBA-EHS rivalry.

It is a VERY good story. I am sorry you took flack for it. I don't think it puts MBA or Ensworth in a bad light at all. MBA has a mission of educating young men, and they stayed their ground on their mission. It was Tommy Frists' decision to build Ensworth for a coed high school. There were no options in the Bellemeade area for coed with conservative views that were not based on religion. Both are great schools with different missions. I never thought of the competition for students evolved from this move for all surrounding private schools.....particularly MBA and Harpeth Hall.

sorry didn't see that you had posted it. Actually someone send me a print copy in the mail. Fascinating story. Someone had told me all about that when it was happening but I never knew it was so dead on.

Amybody got a list of what the above schools are paying their FB coaches?

Got a feeling that's not produced for public knowledge.

I'm sure it is less than that future ex-UT coach......name slips my mind right now.

 

So back to the subject Ensworth vs. BA.......

I here it might rain Friday night, who will have the advantage?

Traditional thinking is that rain hurts the team with more speed so a wet muddy evening would seem to help BA.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
