Private schools could win all 3 lower football classifications.

The private school that I work with plays only two small rural schools in West Tennessee in football and that is because they are a district opponants. If they were not district opponants, they would not be on the schedule to be honest with you. If the small rurals in East Tennessee don't like playing privates, there is an easy solution, don't schedule them. That is what many small rurals in West Tennessee do unless it is a playoff game.

 

If every private school in this state suddenly vanished, many of you small rural schools would just find something else to complain about. By the way, I did not know that Union City had a professional baseball team. What's their name?

Do you not count Medina as small?

I would have sworn I seen where Union City had a minor league team. may be wrong bout that.

In the east we have to play privates in the playoffs. trust me no one over here wants to schedule em if they don't have to.

A school that competes in Class AA (3A in football) is not small.

It's not a city school it's a county school. Medina on its own is probably 2A. It's got kids from Gibson, Goat City, outside Humboldt, and the country area.

Union City once did have a minor league team in the Class D KY-TN-IL league (the "Kitty League"), from 1935 to 1955 excluding the war years. Known as the Dodgers for the last three years, the Greyhounds before that. Other shorter-lived Kitty League teams in West TN were the Lexington Bees/Giants, the Milan/Trenton Twins, the Paris Travelers/Parisians, the Dyersburg (Forked) Deers, and the Trenton Reds. The Memphis Chicks and Jackson Generals are the only ones still playing in the western grand division.
