A Highly Touted QB from PA already Grabbed up by Friendship

Why does FCS need a change? What have you got against McNeal? He is a good coach and a great mentor. He has made the baseball state tournament 9 out of the last 10 years, and been in the football state championship 2 out of the last 5 years. He tries to make his players better young men when they finish playing for him than when they started playing for them. All of his players know that they can go and talk to him about any problems they are having and he'll try his best to help them out. I'm not exactly sure why you think there needs to be a change. Coach Caven is also a good coach. He may well have a chance to be the coach when McNeal is done. I think he'd do great with the program, but he is also my uncle so I guess you could say I'm a little biased.

 

The Boyd game in the playoffs was a great game. We should have gotten beat, but a mistake was made and we got the W. No one is perfect and mistakes are going to be made at the high school level. I highly doubt Brennan is going to fret about coming up 4 inches short when he looks at his championship ring for the rest of his life.

 

I don't understand what your point is with the Church of Christ stuff your talking about. Yes friendship was once Church of Christ, but I'm thinking they may have switched to non-denominational before I was even born. I went through the Bible classes for 7 years and I can say with certainty that they don't teach a Church of Christ only philosophy. They teach a Christian philosophy and that's why it's called non-denominational.

 

No obviously it doesn't suit my wants that you're saying he needs to go to another school when nothing is wrong with him going to friendship. I think friendship is a good fit for him. What makes you think WCHS is a better fit? He hasn't attended a large public school before so what makes you think he needs to now? You act as if we took him away from Central when he was never interested to go there. Quit acting like we somehow knew he was coming to Tennessee and we called him to make sure he was coming to friendship. The fact is that he walked right through our front doors wanting to know about our school and our football program and then he saw the championship rings. He likes succeeding and I'm pretty sure WCHS isn't quite a "successful" program. A.J. did make his own decision on what school he was going to attend so let's not act like we filled his head full of lies.

 

I'm interested to know who this o line player from WCHS was. Our entire o line had been at friendship for at least two years and probably more but I don't feel like thinking that far back. The only person who was from a different school the year before that played o line some was Kyle Woods little brother and he was our back-up TE. Kyle was a senior so I don't think it's logical to say we recruited his little brother from MJ when I'm sure his parents wanted him to play with his brother once they were in high school.

 

I just think you don't want to see Friendship succeed and that's why you don't want A.J. at Friendship.

Where did I ever say anything was wrong with CHurch of Christ???? I never did say that. Can you guys read and interpret what you read??? I stated that FCS was Church of Christ someone said it wasn't. Where do you get I said it was BAD??? Geez!!! My point was someone said he came from a small private like FCS. That was their point. Then I countered that it was Catholic not Church of Christ. So I said did anyone tell him about Pope John Paul. Then the ironic thing was the sam people got mad about that??? Seriously!!!

 

Also where did I say he needed to go to WCHS????? I didn't say where he needed to go. That was my point! It is not anyones place to tell a kid where he needs to go but give him all the true details about the schools around here. I still think as you are doing here people bashed WCHS as you have done on here. SAD! You can't compare the 2 schools. YOu are so wrapped up in a ring you refer to and admit you really wouldn't have won had the call been correct. And yes if you teach morals and values at your school then the QB would have issues with winning that game. If you are a Christian is it right to lie???

 

I support no one. I just asked if anyone heard of this kid? Calm down my fellow Christians. If the kid ends up at FCS good for him.

Coach? Lol I am definitely not a coach. I'm actually 19 and I graduated from FCS. pretty much all the FCS posters know who I am. I just don't buy that he needs to go to WCHS or JPII. friendship had a better team than WCHS last year and for prob the last 2 or 3 years. The only thing I know about JPII is that they haven't really been competitive since moving to DII. So what exactly is wrong with him going to Friendship? It provides a great Christian environment for him to grow as a student and person. He'll have great senior leaders next year and they will win a lot. And someone said he was in the dugout with the baseball team, yes he was and what's wrong with that? He's already enrolled in the school.

 

 

Captain Commander, you seem to know AJ pretty well. Care to enlighten us on why his family moved to Tennessee?

 

I sure hope his new house is within FCS's "Territory" as defined by the T$$AA. If it ain't, he's ineligible; and, that Childress boy (who I don't like so much, by the way) will get very mad.:roflolk:

The way I see it is this, he went to a small private school in PA, he moves to Wilson County and is looking for a small private school to go to. It just happens that we won the state last year and he walks in seeing the rings and says "I want one of those." we lucked up and won a championship at the perfect time. I'm not 100% sure about this but I don't think he was ever considering going to a public school. The school he went to in PA was smaller then friendship and he played against the same type of competition that we play against. Apparently the colleges aren't too worried about the type of defenses he will face. I'd say UCLA and Syracuse won't have a problem with him seeing the same type of competition that he has already seen

If he attended a private school in PA and wanted to do the same in Tennessee, was a big time recruit, wanted to win a state championship ring, wanted to play for a coach that has sent players to the NFL and wanted to play against the best competition why would he not look to Ensworth?

    • That was after the 2nd year of a 4 year cycle.  Since Covid we have been on a 2 year cycle.  So, there really isn't a "mid cycle" reclassification this time.   Idk if there's anything in place to address the issue of a school closing.  My guess is, nothing can be done.  This would be akin to the 1st year of a 4 year cycle, where a school has the 20% +/- but not allowed or even have the option to move up or down.
    • No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin  
    • Yes Justin Cruse was named head coach
    • It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
