Trousdale Co. Cowards

Trousdale Superintendent Satterfield informed Goodpasture yesterday that they will not be playing them in any sport but football. How cowardly of an act is this? It is not like Goodpasture is a CPA or Ensworth type school. Plus the fact that Trousdale has no issues playing smaller DII schools they think they might be able to hammer. This is a pathetic and weak showing by a community that prides itself on its athletics.

The point that he is trying to make is that Goodpasture will find a way to get the players in that are needed. Every provate school should be in the same division because they are on the equal playing field. Also, Goodpasture has more students than some Class AA schools do and they dropped down a class. If you think it's perfectly fine to let public and private play one another, you have lost your mind. Perfect example is what Drew Maddux is doing at CPA . I think its pretty funny how slick he thinks he is. No sympathy for Goodpasture as well. I hate it for that Class A District that has to play them and try to compete for a district crown againes them.

Not sure how you've determined that Goodpasture has more students than some AA teams unless they have chosen to play up in class. Goodpasture has to use a multiplier of 1.8 on the student base provided to the TSSAA. So if they have 500 students, they are classed like they have 900.....

What he meant was more Student Athletes than Most AA teams... Athletic Participation rates at private schools double and sometimes triple what a public school can achieve with its student base.

 

uFCa has an AP of over 70% while here in TC our AP is probably in the mid 20s to low 30s. That over 70% number is not uncommon at private schools...and it is totally unheard of in public schools...why is that?

Goodpasture should be in AA and we all know this. Only because of Ronnie Carter's plan are they not. Goodpasture openly recruits athletes as does every other private school and therefore they should be made to play at the highest level in every division i.e. AAA in basketball, baseball, golf etc. and 6A in football. Then the proverbial playing field will be level. Goodpasture is in Class A for only 4 years then they move back up to AA. Ronnie Carter gutted the public schools when he put in an idiotic rule like the one that Goodpasture is benefiting from. If you are going to have a multiplier then use it. If you're suppose to be AA by the multiplier then you need to be AA period. I don't care how many classifications you have to move up at one time. Right is right. Why should a small Class A school like TC have to play a Nashville based AA private school? Makes no sense to me. You won't find anyone from 7A that will like Goodpasture either i can assure you of that! Make no mistake about it though, your girls basketball team will not challenge Jackson County or Clarkrange this year or any other year for that matter. Your only hope is to make it to the region semi's where you will face one of these power houses and thats where the road ends.

Mr Satterfield is a good man

 

Sounds to me like the TC administration is a prime example of political correctness run amock - "If I don't think something is fair, I will whine and refuse to participate until someone else comes along to make it right." I always kinda thought that high school athletics was for the kids, not for coaches and administrators to grandstand and try to make political statements. Just wondering what kinda message TC thinks this sends to the kids - if you think life ain't fair - just quit????? Guess what TC? Life ain't fair, and there are plenty of losers out there who do just quit. The ones that win are the ones that go out and do their best whatever the odds against them may be.

I do not have a connection to either school. It seems to me that Mr. Satterfield is making a statement that the system used to place teams in divisions and districts is not right and he is using the non-revenue sports to make his point.

 

What if none of the other schools played Goodpasture in non-revenue generating sports, how would the district determine regular season champions? Tournament seeding?

Goodpasture would be the regular season champ in that case and the #1 seed and the rest would be determined by their standings against each other.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
