Private-public split will be bad for high school football

[AlcoaBasketball]

....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.

Bruh....privates don't even have a zone. No-zone and open zone are not the same thing. 90% of the time, you can go to any public school you want if you're willing to move there or pay the extra taxes.

 

I personally don't care if they split or not. Alcoa is 21-7 against privates in the playoffs, losing to CAK and David Lipscomb twice and to Brentwood Academy, Goodpasture and CPA once. Alcoa has also BEATEN all of the aforementioned schools at least once as well.

It sure wasn't last year when you beat CPA in the playoffs. 

 

Did Rankin learn about the forward pass the summer?

Alcoa was limited with a quarterback who hadn't played pretty much at all in 2014 up to the game with CPA.

In the end if the split happens it will be terrible for the TSSAA and high school football. Alcoa, Milan, and Fulton will continue to dominate their class. Maryville will have a tougher road in the super 32 but will win. The better public schools will play privates in non conf. At the end of the season champions will be crowned with rings that must be qualified by distinction. The privates that get booted out lose because they will be faced with get players or have your program crushed. People will laugh so everyone gets a trophy and TN football will be even more watered down. If I was a public school instead of more classes I would request less classes that would make it tougher for privates to win because in four of the classes you would have alcoa, maryville, Fulton, Milan. The same teams that will always win.

I agree. The sad part is this will never end. Even when we split some public schools will still be complaining, no one is never satisfied. Edited July 14, 2015 by QSouth89

Thats a great point, there are not enough teams in this state to play this many classes in football. Once they split, go to 4 classes in division 1 and 2 classes in the private school section, (you still get 6 titles anyway) make teams earn titles instead of having 9 state champions! The cut off for 1A 400, 2A 700, 3A 1000 and 4A all remaining schools. Makes for competitive state playoffs and the teams wanting a title handed to them still has to compete. In Division 2 make the cut off for 1A 200 and 2A all remaining schools. Edited July 14, 2015 by QSouth89

What people like you are NOT getting is this .. this aint just about FOOTBALL .. its about all the other sports too ... publics have no chance competing in the spring fling sports  .. as the privates dominate in sports that only require a few participants ... got to think of those sports too !!

[Booger]

its all about the Futbol......its all about the Futbol.....Boogerette lost a post season game to a PUB 1 time in her elustrious 4 years....and the few PUBS that could beat um in regular season, were 5 & 6A...

 

Booger just sayin

I thought they only went to AAA I soccer Boog??

you are absolutely correct BPM......all the 5 & 6A's are grouped in AAA in Soccer....Booger still calls them 4 , 5 , 6A because thatis what they are....or are they 3A?.....there in lays another reason this whole classification specifically designed to fit the PUBS & T$$AA will never end......for example if Booger may......ND girls soccer beats the Cookevilles, Beardens, Arlingtons, Maryvilles, Hardin Valleys, Germantowns, Blackmans, Oaklands and Ooltewahs; but except for a 1 in 10 year event if even then, the ND FB team cant stay on the field with those schools......now Booger understands that there are not a s many soccer programs as FB programs, at least in the smaller school divisions......do we take every sport in the state and create 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 seperate divisions in order to try and create a level playing field year after year.......why are 2 and 300 student schools potentially having to play schools with 8 to 900 students in the soccer championships and it absolutely does not happen in FB until you place a multiplier on it......

 

Not complaining, just pointing out the fact......this PUB whining over Privates will never end until it splits....then it starts all over with the whining and unfairness among themselves
