Using this logic, we should cancel basketball (didn't MHS just put in a new floor a few years ago?) and softball too (didn't MHS just open a new field?) since only 5-7 students out of each graduating class participates. In fact, I guess everything but football should be cancelled.

sometimes I wonder if that is all Alcoa or Maryville are for, football. They have both had some good teams in other sports, but not near the money or effort put into those programs as in the football programs.

Wouldn't get any argument from me on either of those, but the gym is used by alot of kids in the school for various school functions. Baseball and softball fields are usually "protected" and not opened for recreational use. Plus, I am not just talking about murvil. Go watch the other high schools play. The baseball commitment in all of our county is definitely lacking. Even our local county youth leagues are being passed by surrounding counties. Maybe we should concentrate on what we are good at? Just food for thought.

don't put all your eggs into one basket. There could be a future MLB player out there just needing the right opprotunity. Not everyone has the build, ability, or grit to be a football player. That doesn't mean they don't deserve that same opprotunity in another sport. Edited by UpperCumberlandMan

Alnwick's tennis facilities are second to none. After rolling up Murvil (again) the Rebulls need to just make some additional parking on that part of their campus too.

 

Go Cardinal tennis!!!

BC champs (again)

Wait a minute there Rosco!  We had tennis teams do quite well at state just a few years ago.

But we didn't need at new floor for PE and other school functions.  Oh I forgot.  Private dollars paid almost all of the floor.  And, private dollars are committed to pay for the turf through advertising, etc.  I think it does show commitment to the future by the community and administration when our "tax dollars" are being used for softball and baseball. I think the decision makers know that it is harder to raise private dollars in certain areas and have committed tax dollars to fund or help fund these areas (maybe not to the level of everyone's satisfaction).

No doubt. The $$ do show commitment from those who hand out the $$. And being a baseball guy, my family will benefit from that commitment and the team does need its own field. :thumb: I was simply wondering if it was the wisest use of tax dollars.

 

Just maybe...if we build it, he will come.

      2024 5A Season

      By oridgecat · Posted

      It was not ACHS at all, they have zero reason to worry about Clinton.  It had to do with a kid (non football player)  that had a charge and appeared in front of the juvenile judge.  The judge saw that the kid was way behind credit wise for his grade and told him to reappear in a month with a plan to graduate.  When the kid reappeared he had more that twice the credits than one month before.  The judge called BS and contacted the school.  That is what started the investigation.  This involves multiple students, but to this point no athletes are involved.

      I believe the Covington Chargers travel to Trenton Peabody for a scrimmage today? Anyone going to this? Curious how the Chargers will do.

      Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch.  Wore #15 and was like a mini Tebow, with the exception of being right handed. He could take a pounding and keep on ticking. Played with a collapsed lung against Powell that year. Tough as nails.

      They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.
