I'm gonna make one statement on this and that is all I am going to say. I know UC is a very large 1A school. That's a fact that is no denying. We are at the top of the 1A enrollment numbers. If I were in a smaller school I would probably have a problem with this situation and would feel resentful towards the larger school. Having said that I will add this. Someone has to be the largest school. Whether it's UC or some other school. Someone has to be the smallest school whether it be CF or some other school. It may seem unfair when schools from opposite ends of the spectrum end up in the Championship game. But the reality is that both schools play in the classifications that is set up by the state. When the time comes, and it will, that UC has to move up to 2A we will do so. Until then we will play where we are classified. Now having said that I want to add one last thing. UC has only been dominant the last two years. So being a large 1A school doesn't necessarily determine success. There have been years when we got put out of the playoffs in week one. Our current success is based on this very simple fact. Our kids and our coaches have worked extremely hard to get to where we are. Open zoning or not. We haven't always been on top. There were years when we couldn't beat a 1A team with a winning record. I remember the 07 season very well. We got shut out in week one by Jackson Christian School. After that season Coach Bowling came to UC and we started turning the program around. In the 08 season we got put out of the playoffs in week 2 by McKenzie who made it to the Semis and that is where they stopped. In 09 we won our first State Championship. Remember I said it was our first championship. The next 3 seasons were average at best. Then came this group of kids we have now. And that is where all of this success has come from. This group is the first group of kids that participated in our Jr football program. Every year since they first started we have been filling the pipeline with kids that want to play football. Each grade has their own team. Some are good some are very good. The point I'm trying to make is that it's about the kids and the time you invest in them is what builds champions. We have been a large 1A school for a long time now but are only recently been dominant. I hope this makes sense. If not I can't say anymore and won't. I will not comment on this a y further because there is nothing more I can say. I will leave the rest of this discussion to you fine coachters.

Big Swo remember a few years back when we were the smallest 2A school in the classifications and had to go far and wide just to fill a 10 game schedule. there were Ky. schools 3A and 4A on the schedule. Just a thought!!!

Coalfield will probably get drilled Friday and that's pretty much expected. I just want to say that the reason Coalfield beat Greenback is because they were the better team that night. So stop acting

Watching highlights and knowing the truth is two seperate things, so let's try not to make assumptions.

Dadgumit Rudy. I have tried to avoid getting this label all season. I want our program to be respected and right now we come off sounding like a bunch of 1A bullies. Listen up UC posters. This is

      West TN Head coach jobs

      By sportslover88 · Posted

      20 but had 5-6 not dressed every game. It went down towards the end due to injuries and obviously only 15 got to dress for the state tournament. Then, they only lost 2 from this year and gain 8 from the middle school for next year

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By oridgecat · Posted

      As somebody mentioned before, this is going to result in a massive lawsuit, can you imagine professional "educators" actually having the conversation about getting "the bad kids" out of the high school?  And the head coach asking directly to change grades, gets turned down, comes back again and gets it approved?  This is unbelievable.  In addition to the lawsuit, the state Department of Education is going to come down extremely hard on this.  WYSH is on the war path.  There could be dozens more lose their jobs by the time this is over.  And yeah the real shame is the kids being affected that literally had nothing to do with this and actually worked hard to earn their grades.

      I've heard Powell from someone who talked to him. I saw the kid two days ago and I should of pulled over and talked with him and wished him well where ever he goes. It will be a ale of a loss for us because I don't believe we have anyone in the stable good as him from what I seen in the spring.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      I would have to think that the firing of the 2 teachers is just the beginning of future moves.  If not, it is woefully short.  If the AC school board thinks that the damage is just limited to Clinton, they are sadly mistaken.  Any outsider would view the whole school system as suspect, and rightly so.

      Yeah. AC brass walked in to the building at Clinton and suggested that the principal start changing grades.  Honesty, the notion that anybody at AC was involved is just idiocy.  The ones who are hurt most are the kids who weren't involved in the cheating, but still are being penalized by college admission decisions and scholarship consideration simply because they went to a school that was involved in such a scandal.
