Class AAA AP Poll

[WCG]

Until someone eliminates Riverdale in the post season, I'm going with Riverdale. When they play at MTSU it's like a home game. They bus the students over to game during the week. Go Warriors!

Ya'll gotta remember that of the 4 losses dealt to Riverdale....the TOTAL point total has been 12 points, with 3 of the losses by 1 point....and of the 4 teams that have beaten Riverdale...3 have been top 10 teams in the country.  #3 in the country Blackman beat them 47-46.....#7 Homewood-Flossmoor beat them 63-62....#1 in the country Long Beach Poly beat them 57-49, and Columbia beat them 68-66.  Lots to play in the season.  Riverdale will be fine tourney time.

Why do we talk about Science Hill like they are some little podunk school that is over achieving because they don't recruit and all the girls are home grown. It's one of the biggest high schools in the state for crying out loud and the only public high school the girls can go to in that vicinity. They dont recruit, because they don't have to. They ought to be good when you have that many students to choose from. It's different when you have 6 or 7 schools like Murfreesboro does and year after year most of the best talent ends up in one or two places. That's why there is such suspicion. Bottom line is this, TSSAA allows all of this to happen openly. A few of the better programs just know how to play poker better than others. None of it is illegal until TSSAA  decides to crack down or change rules. Until then, just let the girls lace 'em up and play ball and enjoy watching some pretty good girls basketball across the state.

You obviously don't know our area. There are 3 high schools in our county. We are the city school. Our city is 56000. The boro is? I do not buy the size of the school thing. If anything it hurts you cause there are different things kids can do at a large school than a smaller one. As for poker, you got to know when to fold em and know when to hold em. They are good poker players.

Murfreesboro has 4, not 6-7. Oakland, Riverdale, Blackman all have been nationally ranked at some point in the last 2 seasons. Boys Basketball has 3 really good teams as well, and football has had a different district champion each year since 2009. 

 

Rutherford County has a athletic director that oversees that all schools are in compliance. Maybe one day all the haters will have actual proof that Blackman or Riverdale is doing something illegal, but I doubt it. Its the product of great coach staffs, administrations that realize the importance of athletics, along with a growing city that alot of people want to be a part of

New poll has Blackman #1 SH #2 things will fix themselves. Go Blaze!

Science Hill High School has been in existence since 1867.....yes....1867.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Hill_High_School .  Probably the oldest still functioning school in the state....if not one of the oldest...

 

Enrollment shows about 2,600 students.

Hey warrior someone hit a nerve? Your agument or push has no footing. If you knew history then you know TN started in the east so naturally towns and school would be older. The issue is recuiting through talks during the summer. It doesn't matter cause nothing is going to be done. It all above the table cause I'm sure someone connected owns some rental property and people can slide in and slide out.

[WarriorFan]

What argument Tommyman? SH is an old school with lots of students. That is all was pointing out.

 

Come to think of it...your attempt to argue holds no water bc Nashville and Memphis were around with other schools way before SH.

How about you actually PROVE it first? You cant

[WarriorFan]

Sure would be interesting if Tommyman could bring concrete evidence to the table rather than just a bunch of talk.  He has nothing but a bunch of "he said-she said"....totally jealous.

Oakland riverdale Saturday? Who ya got? Remember oakland got in middletons head last year and I think she started off the game 0-12! And with One of riverdales post players getting hurt, do you think oakland coul pull off the upset? When oakland played blackman it was at one point a 4 point game late in the second half.
