Ricky Bowers and Ensworth have killed Tennessee football as we know it. Because they basically say if you don’t spend millions of dollars on recruiting football players that you don’t have a shot

It is worth noting on Sonny Moore's ratings that he himself states "Only games played against the teams in the ratings are used to formulate the power ratings", meaning that out-of-state games don't f

On here for the first time in a long time. Things haven't changed much. Some of you guys are troopers. Seriously, why do you bother?

Never ceases to amaze me how many posters from E TN pop up on D2 blogs....

 

Are we not allowed ? You should be glad that there's some Public school fans out there that actually do keep up with you guys ... DII is like a Graveyard now on here , it just seems to me you guys would like it that we do Keep up with you all . I hope Maryville does Schedule Ensworth or BA , or MBA ... any interest at all should be better than none

No one wants to play Ensworth!  Be serious!  I doubt Brentwood, McCallie, Baylor, MBA, Father Ryan, MUS or anyone else wants to play Ensworth.  There isn't a team in the state that would challenge them on a regular basis.

Some schools actually enjoy competing against the best squads in the state. Take a trip to the coaches' offices at Baylor or BA this morning. You'll see a group of guys gearing up for a meaningful game against a great team. That's what football is about -- playing against the best, not legislating yourself into a division against inferior teams where you can waltz to a gold trophy and pretend you won something significant.

You know your stuff. I believe booster was referring to the ignorant East Tennesseans who come over here to troll, not the ones who are genuinely interested in the league and offer strong insight.

I quoted my own post so that those who tried to find some issue with it can read it again.   I was amazed at "how many posters" there are especially because there are no D2 AA teams in E TN outside of Chattanooga.   But WesVLT is also correct.  All too often they are trolling or making snarky comments.  Or inserting their team into the discussion.  And it's probably worse on the 6A blogs.  I have no problem with interested, informed comments from whatever source.

The Ensworth School is no doubt at the top of "ALL" schools in Tennessee for now. But the circle of high school football will bring them back to earth soon. People will not even discuss Ensworth In a couple of years when they go 7-3. High school football dynasties do not last forever. Ask Carlton Flatt.

So...to answer the question concerning this topic...NO, Ensworth and Bowers have not killed HS football in Tn. They have set a new level to compete no matter if you are DII, 5A, 1A, 22A, east Tn, southwest Tn, Alcoa, MUS, Fulton, Maryville, Fairview, Clinton, Gibbs etc.

If I was a HS football coach I would study the success Ensworth has and try to incorporate that into my team. Not be scared and jealous of their success. I would also try to schedule them. "iron sharpens iron"

      I have no clue if Derek tried to talk some since into his dad or not about staying here. All he is going to accomplish is going from the oven to the frying pan. If I were the coach all Ale would freze over before I set back and watched one of my good players leave without a fight.

      If this is true, South Gibson is taking a big chance. Passing on an experienced coach for a guy who has never coached at the high school level is a high risk move, especially in that district and region.

      Jo Byrns was a very solid team last year. Imo, I thought they presented the biggest challenge for us on our path to winning it all last year. I expect them to be in the conversation and one of the final few teams playing in Murfreesboro

      I'm not sure you understand anything if you think DB's career and AD's career are comparable.  This is a terrible take.   Not to slight AD, He was a good player and he got better as he matured after high school.   But Desean had over 8,000 yards in HS and was a two-time Mr. Football.
