I know that all of you "told you so" types will want to put this one on LC's schedule, but that would be inaccurate. Here is the bottom line - GP had more depth. Notice I didn't say more players or that the only reason they had depth was because of recruiting, none of that is true. LC"s first bunch matched up well with GP, however, GP was able to sub in people to keep their best players fresh - that is in no way a knock - more like a compliment. LC and schools its size will almost always deal with this because of numbers. And in rural areas - there are a select few athletes to choose from, unlike urban areas where there is just more people.

 

You all can say I'm making excuses, but I'm not. It was a GREAT GAME with both teams showing alot of heart. GP was severely underrated. They will always be a contender, for as long as they play football. LC will continue to work hard and come back next year with that same never say die attitude they showed Friday night and no matter what their record ends up being, they will be able to be proud of themselves just like they were Friday night. Good luck to GP.

 

 

Excellent post. For once, a mature analysis of the public/private issue.

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.
