I know very little about this situation, but if it's true, I don't really understand the rationale. Of course it's an honor to play at Oak Hill. I understand that players go there to get an opportunity to play with and against top high school talent. However, isn't the main motivation usually to get exposure; hence more major college scholarship offers. I thought Hale has already verbally committed to Alabama. Furthermore, I'm not sure Hale is ready for Oak Hill. It's true that he is an excellent talent with big upside, but he was exposed by Southwind's Jonathan Williams during the Arby's this season. Good luck to Shannon if he chooses this path, but I think J3 is much more ready for Oak Hill than Hale is. He will go from being "the man" at SH to likely just competing for playing time at Oak Hill. My two cents...

Exposure is only the start. Competition is what really sets Oak Hill apart. They play as tough a schedule as anyone in the country. Science Hill's only competition is in tournaments like Arby's and the substate, etc. Oak Hill's competition is good every game, every night. The rationale is really preparing to play at an SEC level when he goes to Bama...

Great point. However, in order for this to work, one has to be on the floor competing. I don't see Hale in that role at Oak Hill yet. Maybe after another year...sounds like it's a moot point anyway.

I have heard there may something going on here after all. Hale and Jaylen Allen could be a package deal somewhere. Jaylen wants to play the guard position which is what he will play in college.

 

 

Not surprised. That would really hurt - considering the schedule they've got set for next year... Jaylen probably needs the exposure/experience more than Hale.

      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.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.

      Facts...until someone takes down the Rebels they should be the favorite. Got loads of young guys salivating at the opportunity to prove themselves and get a 3peat! Blazer how is Region 1 looking this year?
