Great thread. I've been looking for this kind of discussion since I found the site. My dad played ball at Gallatin back at the tail end of the leather helmet, single wing, no substitue days (50-51-52 I think). I don't have any stats to support his arguments but I remember him saying a number of times that the greatest programs in the mid-state when he was playing were MBA, Sparta and Isaac Litton. Especially Litton. He said it was like going to a bowl game each time they came to Litton. Back then, Gallatin was mostly a bunch of country boys and they really looked forward to coming into Nashville. He also was impressed with the huge marching band they had. Why are there no old East Nashville boys speaking up?

    • I have no affiliation with Maryville anymore outside of being a 2nd generation graduate from a large family of Rebel alumni. That relationship ended courtesy of the lame duck AD (a Bearden grad I might add) and the HBIC. That said, I could care less if a private school comes through and offers every promising athlete out of that school or any other school better opportunities.
    • A perfect example is for athletes at Clinton High School. I will completely understand, and hopefully everyone should understand why they want to, and as of right now, it looks like that’s going to happen in numbers over the summer.
    • I mean, that’s easy to say when it hasn’t happened to your school that often, if at all, but yeah, I think everybody should be for the student athlete or player. Whatever they think will help them or their athletic career, I feel like they should be able to do that, even if that means transferring schools. Now I don’t really get that when you have almost every offer you could want and then jump ship, but what can I say? I guess money talks. 
    • I for one am all for it. 
    • Covid killed the city because they chose not to play football in the 2020 season. Therefore, kids weren't able to practice and develop, and continuing to lift weights. Memphis basically had 7/8 graders, skipping a year, then playing 9/10 high school football. Now, there's only one team that has made a "dent" which will be Southwind (made it to the 5A semifinals last year).  If you want to go more suburbs, then it'll be Houston, which won the 6A state title, defeating Oakland Other than that, I agree.
