BillVol Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I will always be against a public-private split, since I think the public schools are their own worst enemies. With any kind of organization, the publics would dominate the privates. Anyhow, the way things are now, the privates are dominating more than ever. Some notable scores from tonight. Chattanooga Christian, which started its program 4 or 5 years ago, beat Brainerd, 24-21. Lausanne d Germantown, 42-7. Those two stand out to me. Others... Baylor 35-27 over Rhea at Evensville. CBHS d White Station, 28-20. Quite a few other privates over publics of note. But Alcoa gets it done for the publics tonight blanking Webb, 35-0.

Gambler Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 The gap between good public school programs and other school programs is widening. The gap between good private school programs and other private school programs is widening. Tradition rich football schools in metropolitan areas will continue to grow while more isolated rural communities will maintain. In other words the good football programs continue to get stronger not just private schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger150 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Alcoa has open Enrollment where you can pay tutition and attend the school As well as Maryville so i consider those Private schools at a cheap rate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeslice13 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Alcoa has open Enrollment where you can pay tutition and attend the school As well as Maryville so i consider those Private schools at a cheap rate I consider all open zone schools private. Just like privates, some care about football and some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peabody4ever Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 If the public schools aren't good enough to let their kids attend then they shouldn't be good enough to play with in the playoffs. Public and private should be split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABABA Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Agree!!!! If the public schools aren't good enough to let their kids attend then they shouldn't be good enough to play with in the playoffs. Public and private should be split.

anotherback Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 If the public schools aren't good enough to let their kids attend then they shouldn't be good enough to play with in the playoffs. Public and private should be split. Absolutely. If you want to separate yourself then do it,your choice. I also disagree with allowing home schooled kids on public school teams. You pay taxes you choose to not go to what is provided by those taxes. You've made the choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocke Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm so confused !!! Help me to understand this stereotypical way of thinking !!! Public -vs- Private? Win -vs- Loss ? No organization in public schools ? Private schools dominate ? These thoughts strike me as harsh and unfounded. A kind of "yellow journalism" at best. Seems to me you need an academic tongue slashing for being uninformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me you need an academic tongue slashing for being uninformed. I could be wrong but I don't think anyone said the pubilcs lack organization.....on the contrary, the publics organized fairly well to spilt publics and privates. As for "unfounded"....the TSSAA clearly stated in their meeting a couple months ago that the privates dominate the publics. So that statement is 100% correct.

Sacker19 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 In every case, any type of private public split always benefits the private schools and hurts the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor_Falkon Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Is it talent or is it coaching? I think coaching has more to do with it that talent. For instance, the majority of D1 talent in the state comes from middle and west Tennessee. However, this year like every year the majority of teams playing for state championships are from the east. Maryville constantly dominates 6A but has very few players go into D1. Same with Alcoa and Fulton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
