Williamson County vs Rutherford County

[Soareagles]

I keep hearing that Rutherford County football is much stronger than Williamson County football. I completely disagree. Yes, the public schools in Rutherford County have produced and are still producing some great teams. But, if you take into consideration that Williamson County has Brentwood Academy, Ensworth, Battle Ground Academy, Father Ryan, and MBA pulling some of the best athletes from the public schools, one would have to concur that Williamson County is loaded with incredible athletes too. Rutherford County does not have these kind of schools in their backyard pulling their best athletes away. Anyone else have a take on this?

This may be the worst post of all time! Just ask where Corn Elder is zoned and you get your answer. Those schools pull from everywhere!

Most Rutherford County public schools would beat most of those private schools you mention on a regular basis.

I'm for the Rutherfords too but you just made us look stupid by making a stupid statement like this. This just simply is not true.

The wheels of the bus go round and round everyday hauling kids from RC to pay for play schools. Your assertion is absurd. More so than players RC beats WC in the coaching arena. I will also add that when athletes are being poached they are not usually going after kids that are average.

Ensworth, Ryan, MBA, CPA...all Davidson County...none in Williamson.

 

On top of that Ferbee who rushed for 150 yards for Ensworth the other night played for Rock Springs Middle (Smyrna/LaVergne) as did former BGA star QB Jamal Ramsey. Corn Elder is zoned for Murf. Oakland. The private schools recruit Rutherford County all the time. And I do mean ALL THE TIME.

Simply put private schools do not care where athletes are. They will find them. For the last several years Rutherford County has been at the top of TN football in 6A. Week in and week out they have to prepare for a tough game, unless they are playing La Vergne or a non-district weak opponent. La Vergne is getting better but still has a long way to go to be with the rest of Rutherford County. The past couple of years Williamson County has been down. Ravenwood has dropped off a great deal, last year Indy was awful, Centennial has always been awful, and even Franklin and Brentwood have struggled compared to the early 2000's. I know Franklin did well last year but even they have been down. If you want to say all of the what ifs then look at Metro. Many of the top athletes from Metro go to the private schools. Take Antioch High alone and all of the kids that attend private schools or even Hillsboro. If Antioch High was to have all of their zoned athletes they would go deep into the playoffs every year.

you keep hearing it cause its true! most of the schools you mention are private and recruit, here in rutherford cty the coachs coach up what they are given, since 94 rutherford cty has 8 state championships "riverdale 4, smyrna 2, oakland 2 and 6 runner ups riverdale 5, smyrna 1 and that adds up to rutherford cty being in the state championship 14 times over 17 years and knocking off your williamson cty schools 3 times along the way in the big game, riverdale over franklin in 04, smyrna over ravenwood in 06 and smyrna over indepence in 07 "which smyrna set a record for most points scored in the 5a championship game with 46", brentwood did beat riverdale in 02 ill give you credit for that...... ONE

 

their was an article that came out last year that district 7-aaa was something like 8th toughest district in the country, not tennessee but in the country

[nrgrizzlies]

Smyrna - who won't even make playoffs out of 7-aaa this year already won at Brentwood and Franklin. Current Williamson Co. leader Indy was taken to the buzzer on their own home field last year by LaVergne.

 

Williamson public schools in football any more? They are good but far from great right now.

thanks for the correction patriotguy, i couldnt remember who oakland played in the 08 championship game off the top of my head, so 4 out of 5 games won by rutherford cty against williamson cty in the championship game and 14 of 17 yrs that rutherford cty has made an apperance in the big game......the poster who said williamson cty is better then rutherford cty please make the argument against those numbers
