Maryville gloating accepted in this thread, calm down on the others

[FactsOnly]

In October 1930, the English occultist Aleister Crowley dined with Huxley in Berlin, and to this day rumours persist that Crowley introduced Huxley to peyote on that occasion.[citation needed] He was introduced to mescaline (the key active ingredient of peyote) by the psychiatrist Humphry Osmond in 1953, taking it for the first time during the evening of May 5.[20] Through Dr. Osmond, Huxley met millionaire Alfred Matthew Hubbard who would deal with LSD on a wholesale basis.[21] On 24 December 1955, Huxley took his first dose of LSD. Indeed, Huxley was a pioneer of self-directed psychedelic drug use "in a search for enlightenment". According to a letter written by his wife Laura, Huxley requested and received two intramuscular injections of 100 micrograms of LSD as he lay dying.[22] His psychedelic drug experiences are described in the essays The Doors of Perception (the title deriving from some lines in the book The Marriage of Heaven and heck by William Blake), and Heaven and heck. Some of his writings on psychedelics became frequent reading among early hippies.[23] While living in Los Angeles, Huxley was a friend of Ray Bradbury. According to Sam Weller's biography of Bradbury, the latter was dissatisfied with Huxley, especially after Huxley encouraged Bradbury to take psychedelic drugs.

This is one of the reasons places like Maryville, Alcoa, and Greeneville are successful. In Chattanooga (Hamilton County Department of Education) there are 18 high schools fighting and competing for resources. The central office is totally dysfunctional and wasteful of the taxpayers' dollars. Principals and Athletic Directors are shifted around every year to keep the schools destabilized, and all of the administrators, teachers, and coaches are afraid of drawing the superintendent's wrath. The HCDE does not support athletics and athletic facilities. They keep building or renovating small schools and duplicating services, rather than consolidating into larger schools. They waste so much money that they cannot even adequately support academics and academic facilities, much less athletics. In a metropolitan area, carved-up by school zone boundaries and political in-fighting, it is difficult to develop any sense of "community" around a given high school or build any type of "tradition" over time.

 

Be thankful for what you have. Things will not change in Hamilton County, and we will all just have to try to make the best of the situation.

Red Bank and Signal Mountain were together for one school previously. Should Sale Creek be absorbed into Soddy-Daisy and Lookout Valley into Howard, just examples, while Signal keeps their new school somewhat separated? Edited December 16, 2013 by Indian

Nope.  That would be like giving the library credit for quoting Shakespeare.

 

He Googled MY quote but failed to give credit for that which he found and posted.  That's an F in the gradebook.  No telling what the penalty is for plagiarism.

QUARLES-MALZAHN

Monday, Dec. 16, 2013

 

            Tim Nickell, whose son played for Auburn coach Gus Malzahn at Shiloh Christian High in Fayetteville, Ark., in 1999-2000, sent me an email comparing Malzahn and Maryville (Tenn.) High coach George Quarles.

            It was so compelling and enlightening that I have to share it with you.

            â€œI wanted to offer a couple of observations on something I witnessed in September when I attended a Maryville High practice,†said Nickell, a college roommate of Maryville’s offensive line coach, David Ellis.

            â€œWhat I saw at the Maryville practice reminded me of the atmosphere of the Malzahn practices (at Shiloh Christian),†Nickell said.

            â€œâ€¦Highly organized, all business, lots of preparation … lots of teaching taking place, team building, and all done in an atmosphere with obvious mutual respect between coaches and players,†Nickellexplained.

            â€œThere wasn’t any yelling or up-in-your-face kind of things.â€

            Nickell observed that Quarles, like Malzahn, knows the game, has high expectations and knows how to adapt personnel to achieve the maximum level of effectiveness.

            But, Nickell added, “the glue that holds everything together is the obvious mutual respect that exists between coaches and between players and coaches.â€

            Two weeks ago, prior to Maryville’s semifinal playoff game en route to another state championship, Quarles invited me to sit in on the team’s pre-game meal, rest period, walk-through, locker room pre-game preparation and halftime locker room.

            The coaching staff camaraderie Nickell described was evident that night. No raw-raw stuff. Just business as usual as Quarles and his trusted assistants quietly talked to their players and each other. Quarles delegates authority, entrusts most of the preparation to his assistants, reserving for himself decisions in key situations during the game.

            Maryville beat Blackman High 28-16 that night and went on to defeat Hendersonville 44-7 for the state 6-A championship eight nights later for a TSSAA-record 14 state titles.

            Despite replacing four departed starters in the offensive line and breaking in a new starting quarterback, Quarles and his staff produced another 15-0 season and Maryville’s 10th state championship and seventh unbeaten record since Quarles became head coach in 1999. Maryville’s record through those 15 years is 208-14. 

            Maryville senior quarterback John Garrett completed 13-of-18 passes for 277 yards and three touchdowns and ran eight times for 61 yards and another touchdown. The offensive line gave him excellent protection and opened big holes for the running backs.

            Defensively, Maryville limited Hendersonville to only 118 rushing yards and a meager 48 through the air. In what has become typical Maryville fashion, it was a runaway. And, as usual, Quarles gave the credit to his players and staff.

            Reading Tim Nickell’s email, I came to a fresh understanding and appreciation of what Gus Malzahn achieved in coaching Auburn to a spectacular 34-28 victory over Alabama in the SEC title game for the right to play top-ranked Florida State Jan. 6 for the national championship.

That's good stuff, BarneySox. I've never understood the caustic, maniacal, in the face approach that some coaches adopt. A few players might respond to it but most players who have a modicum of intelligence view it as absurd.

Red Bank and Signal Mountain were together for one school previously. Should Sale Creek be absorbed into Soddy-Daisy and Lookout Valley into Howard, just examples, while Signal keeps their new school somewhat separated?

BS2007 was thanking the Maryville School Board for all of their support (in the larger discussion of everything going on in the Knoxville system), and I was simply pointing out the advantage of having a community and school board that are supportive of their single high school.  I used Hamilton County as an example of everything that is wrong with large metropolitan school boards.  I don't profess to have the answers, and I doubt that anything is going to change significantly.

 

Sequatchie and Bledsoe are also fortunate to have a community and school board that supports its single high school.  Signal Mountain is kind of a hybrid.  As you know, the school was built and is sustained by a significant financial contribution from the town of Signal Mountain and the residents of Signal Mountain, but we are still part of the dysfunctional HCDE.  It is what it is.

 Bob writes a daily email and sends it out and I thought all Maryville and G.Q. fans would enjoy reading that one. Thanks Rebelron.
