Where did Lancaster get all these new athletes. I heard this team was made up if kids that were home schooled. Can anyone shed some light on this team?

 

Based on my conversations with very reliable LC resources- Some of those kids have been enrolled at Lancaster Christian Academy for atleast 3 years and the other student/athletes transferred to the school from another private school or Metropolitan Nashville school. Most of the kids were non-starters at their previous schools - maybe their parents enrolled them into the school to put them in a better environment as well as to have the opportunity to play more on the football field/basketball court. Contrary to belief, none of the LC players have never been home school and they are excellent student/athletes and have never been in trouble at LC or their previous schools. One of the kids on the basketball team has a football offer from a couple of D-1 schools and another kid has an offer from an OVC school. Its sounds like the coaching staff is taking a genuine interest in those kids and the kids are responding well by maximizing their opportunity on and off the court.

    • Another Generation of the Lane name boosting the wrestling rivalry of McCallie - Baylor - Soddy. Great to see!!! https://www.timesfreepress.com/bestofpreps2024/Jaxon-Lane/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1ZWGaHB2ilMrnlyyumOPetIu9rF3aiBl0RtYQAEfwI3HxiFn--CtGziF8_aem_Achl6dRaS7Z-XOckkD2HqcBEsw7XwxkOKBY6-qTu8DCUR5253Zb_k5xogS7f0Dmq0Bq6wQdtwgcON0DQsPz-UlbN
    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets!
