It's Time to Separate the Public and Private Schools

The best example I have is in volleyball. In the Class A state championship you had South Greene with less than 500 students playing Goodpasture who uses the multiplier. Goodpasture had kids from 7 different counties on their roster. Their is no way any true public school can compete with that.

False, it is actually three counties. Davidson, Sumner and Robertson. Madison is in the upper Northwest corner of Davidson County. You can be in Sumner County in 5 minutes. Robertson in probably 8.

 

Seven counties sounds really good but unfortunately completely false.

3 or 7 doesn't really matter my friend, either way it's not a level playing field when privates can go to any county and get players and when public has to play with who lives in there own county!

It's easy to just say play the game when your from Alcoa or have a son that plays for Alcoa but when your from a small county like me(LEWIS CO.) it's a lot different my friend. Lewis Co only get players from Hohenwald,TN. we don't get to go to surrounding counties and get the best of the best so thats where the privates have a very large advantage on small towns like mine.(I'M NOT CRYING ABOUT IT OR WHATEVER ANYBODY WANTS TO SAY, I'M JUST STATING FACTS)

However, how good would it have felt had you guys won the CPA game? Knowing you beat the best, rather than someone either even or less even than you?

    • 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"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • 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!
