I know you have two schools in Giles but the fact is if you live right beside Richland High school you can still go to Giles Co High school so that makes Giles Co an open zone school 

If ya live right beside Richland you live either in a church or the creek....

 

Giles is a " no zone" county of about 29,000 good folks. Blue collar with no Starbucks. We got a board that supports the principal. A principal who supports the coaches. Coaches who support the teachers and the entire school, sports related or not. And parents that support them all. Where folks live doesn't make the Cats click. :ugeek:

if a 6a school with 1600-2500 kids can't find 75-100(5%) boys to play good football that's on them. Where the problem is, let's say a school has 525 students. Which is 3A. They then pulls students fro

Unless these schools completely break away it would be against the rules to recruit. Even if they do form their own organization will they just forget ethics and start recruiting? There is no place fo

I wouldn't care about the privates or open zone areas if kids could go to ANY school in Hamilton County. Just not a level playing field when you have to stick to an assigned area. 2011 we had to vacate 6 games b/c a kid wasn't in our area. If we could recruit kids from anywhere in the county I would not complain about anything..............well not as much as I do now. :thumb:

GQ is the Bar. No argument there. The year in year out success of Maryville crosses state lines.

 

Lipscomb kicking our butts taught us what we needed to do to get better after 05. Now we are learning from the likes of Ensworth. These tough games are making the program better.... :ugeek:

2011 was lookin good for a while. (well except for the beatdown we took at Blackman) Itavious Mathers ran for what seemed like 1000 yards.

Wasn't poking ya about players red. Giles has a little over 29,000 folks with 2 high schools. How many folks live up on that little hills school zone? :ugeek:

I didn't say Giles was good because they are an open zone school! I know the Superintendent, he is from Lewis Co and was my middle school football coach, great guy but anyway I was just saying Giles is an open zone school that's all. Giles has had a good run here lately and I know its not because your an open zone school. You guys have a very good football program my friend and I love your stadium.

The split will never happen. There is way too much money and power in private schools. What people don't realize is that if you separate the two it will become the wild west of recruiting. There will not be near as many good players left in public schools. They will all be recruited out. All these private schools that are church funded can now open up even more funds to help with the recruiting and facilities process. There advantages of both. Public schools can pay their coaches better and get city and county funds to help with facilities and the program. Private schools can generate funds quicker and have a bigger area to draw from because of not having an assigned school zone. Same can be said about open zone schools. Its not fair, but if you separate the two it opens up a lot worse case scenarios than if it is left alone.

Don't try to put all private schools in the same pot. The d1and d2 private schools are very different. Also I don't see how upper keeps talking about d1 publics playing d2 privates. That isn't happening and is not a valid point. Also speaking of Giles county think about how great that rivalry has been with lipscomb and if teams were separate it wouldn't if happened. Ensworth and maryville have squared off as has ensworth and Oakland those were awesome match ups. I think everyone needs to step back and before things change look at all the impact. I do disagree one day the there will be a split and I think it's sad. Also it will probably be divided financial and non financial. So the schools that have been playing by the rules will continue to do so and I disagree publics will be raided. Also an interesting question why don't the other open zoned schools around Knoxville since that is the key to winning.

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
