Early predictions for 8-AA 2013


Recommended Posts

Not feasible anymore...already spent millions on 2 schools 6 miles apart.

I know they say there were almost riots when LA combined with Rickman. And that's why LA has some gold in some of their uniforms. School pride keeps a lot of systems from consolidation. But I would have loved to see Cason and Manning in the same backfield.

There was talk about combining Monterey with the Algood area of Cookeville to give Monterey a new school and relieve overcrowding at Cookeville High School. The people from

Monterey almost seceded from the county they were so mad. Lol. Needless to say, they are getting their own new high school up on the mountain and Cookeville is still going to be overcrowded.

from what I hear from folks is the plan once they build Baxter jr high, and eventually expand the hs, west of willow will all be zoned over to UH cutting CHS enrollment by about 3-400. So that would put UH in 4a and maybe 5-6 years down the road in 5a like Sparta. I keep hearing Rickman might get a high school again too.

if in 2012 the 70 kids that played for SC, and the 45 kids that played for state champ Gordonsville had went to a consolidated school, yes I think with Cason, Manning, and those combined lines would have soundly beaten a very good LA team.

LA don't whip up on SC very often much less get in a win but last year LA put a good one on SC in the hole. adding the g-ville bunch might have evened up the score.

 

Besides this is really all moot since they were not consolidated.

adding "60" kids to pick from only evens you....I think not. I am not so sure LA could have beat Gordonsville head to head. When LA won state, they lost to 1a state champs TC. And it is mute, just fun to think what if.

SC had 90...G'ville had 60.

so SC looked like they had bout 60 this time the two times I seen them. I know they didn't lose 30 seniors and get no freshman. Why were the numbers so low for SC this year? It was noticably diffrent seeing them run out on the field. Edited by UpperCumberlandMan

Haven't had less than 85 in at least the last 10 years until this year...less than 60 this year.

    • I grew up watching Greene Devil Football since I could walk and still close with a lot of the coaches so should know my history pretty well lol.  Everything worked out the way it should have but firmly believe McCurry would have won some State Title if he wouldn't been let go (Greeneville still runs the same D he brought here and he let Ballard run the O and stayed out of it when it came to calling plays.  Greeneville was put out in the Semi's McCurry's last year against Maryville and the next year Greeneville stayed in 4a and was State Runner up playing were they were placed for the first time by the TSSAA.). It was definitely a McCurry and Ballard show that turned everything around along with the Community buying in and revamping the weight room and field house. Since Ballard got promoted to HC every Coach after him has been within the Greeneville Coaching staff because your right, they know what it takes to win a state championship.  Ballard was a master mine on O and what i think Greeneville has lacked since he left and let some Championships or making it to the Championship slip away over the last few years
    • Sounds like you know your area history well. Going back and looking the records were better than I thought but mostly still beating Upper East TN schools. Ballard sounds like he came/was promoted at the right time.    I do think it’s no coincidence that them keeping the HCs as guys who were former guys on the staff. Too many times schools want a “state championship” leveled coach from the outside but they don’t know the landscape. Promoting from within will help with less turnover and keep the program consistent. 
    • You’re a fool if you think I have more than one account 
    • Looking back they had better records than I recalled against upper East TN.  But they still took off once ballard got there. And beating other good programs
