Private-public split will be bad for high school football

Open zone and no-zone are much different, especially when a no-zone school has selective enrollment.

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.

Whoa! I just agreed with you on something, Indian!! Mark this moment down.

 

Some people tend to think that Alcoa is a no-zone school with selective enrollment. We're about as far from that as we can get.

I believe Lewis Co. only has one high school thus there is only one option, unless they allow out of county students to attend.

you are correct, as Trousdale is.....I consider these closed zoned small 1 high school in county systems

just picking at ya....how did Alcoa do at Maryville 7on7?

[RonMexico3]

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.

LOL!! We looked good. Not that we'll be throwing that much during the season, but we looked solid.
