Will Adamsville be considered public or private?

Ok, I'm going to throw in an objective opinion since I don't live in McNairy Co anymore and my kids attend elsewhere. First of all, the Aville people are correct in that kids can come from Ramer, Bethel, Selmer, Pickwick, Henderson or wherever. As long as kids provide their own transportation no rules are broken. I don't agree with open enrollment and I assure you TSSAA will be addressing it. We deal with it in Madison County as well. If AVille has kids coming from all those areas they should not be called Aville High. Call them what they are.....McNairy Central East. The Bobcats should be McNairy Central Weat and Cardinals should be McNairy Central East. Adamsville is not truly Adamsville High and that's ok because they are not breaking the rules but don't call it Aville when it's really not. That ought to stir up folks on both sides!! . Look forward to the interesting feedback!

THAT should bring out the whippin' stick!!!  ;)  These little communities are very proud (and very protective) of their schools,their colors, and their mascot's. A few (13) years back, Scotts Hill got "our" new high school...only the site was not in Scotts Hill! Some influential people wanted a new (South Henderson) name,along with mascot and colors, and almost "sneaked" it by until it was too late. When the city of Scotts Hill learned of this, they gave the BOE an ultimatum...no police protection,fire protection, or any help otherwise...then held a called meeting to expand the city limit 1/2 mile west. With the overwhelming support of the community (even most of the Sardis folks, who had their own school (Blue Devils) closed, and incorporated into SH), the board gave in and... long live the Black and Gold Lions! I'd be in disguise if I were you next Thanksgiving!!!

All that about open zoned schools coming from a private school guy? Give me a break. That is all

You know it's true! Open zoned is a much bigger problem than private schools. TSSAA will eventually address it if they split the publics and privates.

So you do not feel open zone schools have an advantage over closed zoned schools?  Open zones can get their players from anywhere, just like privates. 

 

Some public schools started throwing stones and are now starting to see the cracks in their open zoned glass houses.  I've always said be careful what you wish for.

We don't make the rules , we just play by them !!

Privates have much more of an advantage , they can offer better education and environment ! It's not like people are gonna drop and move to a rural county school just to play ball ! It ain't like Adamsville is a sprawling metropolis with lots of opportunity for incoming parents ! The only cry babies we have about us is the other county school who can't handle thier butt being beat by little brother ! As far as taking kids from outta county like Hardin , Adamsville city limits goes into Hardin County! If we was everyone's homecoming game like it used to be no one would be saying a word !

You never answered my question.  Do you feel open zone schools have an advantage over closed zoned schools?   

 

Maybe all open zones are not the same....but the exact same can be said about privates.  They are not all the same.

 

So is there an advantage to being open zoned opposed to closed. in your opinion?

In a rural setting ? No !

That would be communism haha. I say let them go where they want to, I don't believe in forcing people to go to a certain place.

Red Rage, the Adamsville city line goes to Crump and not Pickwick. The AHS rulebook is written in crayon and can be changed when it is necessary to make you feel about your latest deals. Adamsville has a more strict admission policy than most private schools.

 

If you are from Selmer or Ramer and can't play sports, you are not getting in the school. Remember, your school is overcrowded!

 

AHS did not (R ) in football when Danny Combs was the coach. Your current coach even went to a church to talk to a junior high player last year. You can try to alibi out of that one, but Nick Saban would draw the line at going after a player in church.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
