Private-public split will be bad for high school football

Then the LC AD is a bigger hypocrite than I gave him credit for.

You're right. Lewis and CPA are pretty much the same school. Lewis will probably go over to the private school league. So many kids wait in line to attend the prestigious LEWIS COUNTY. Hohenwald Is the Beverly Hills of the South. Can't believe they lose kids to Ensworth, CPA, MBA or BA.

School board policy contradicts itself when discussing out of county students as it states they must have one parent/guardian that lives within the school district.

 

If the TSSAA addresses open zone schools you will see many schools go closed zone.

You are correct. But the policy also eludes to the fact that this can be avoided if approved by the Director of Schools. I don't think that that Lewis Co is a magnet for bringing in students by any means. But they don't have a leg to stand on if they want to start a beef about open zone schools.

And the problem with that is....

....is that Alcoa (and all other open zoned schools) can pull students from the exact same "zone" as private schools yet privates are critized for having athletes "from all over the place".  It's a double standard but we can't expect anything more from an organization that is only represented by public schools. 

 

Let's hope these public school reps put their moeny where their mouth is and vote for a complete spilt.  It would obviously be best for privates for this to happen.

    • 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.
