Maryville's baby brother vs. CAK

[thepaintrain]

I had to double check the online board policy. You are correct about Humboldt. All other schools in Gibson Co. are open zone. Which is one reason why their school population grows smaller every year.

As for McKenzie they are open zone. Go to their homepage. Click the link on the left hand side titled "Manuals/Plans/RFPS". Then click on "School District Policy Manual". Ithe policy is list under the "Students" section. It is 6.204 "Attendance of Non-Resident Students". It tells how the non resident (out of zone) student can attend with superintendents approval and payment of a tuition. Same thing that Alcoa, Maryville, and dozens of other schools across the state do.

So Milan is open zoned just like McKenzie?

I can't speak for others, but:

 

1. I have consistently stated that Alcoa is a classy program and runs a clean program, and to the best of my knowledge, have never broken any rule whatsoever.

 

2. My issue has always been that the TSSAA is inconsistent. In some cases, they worry about "leveling the playing field" (multiplier for D1 privates, separating out privates that offer scholarships into D2, and dividing the schools into different divisions based on student population. and now removing privates all together) while in other cases, such as the open zone issue, they ignore a similar issue of a school having an abnormal population from which to draw student athletes. It is the TSSAA's inconsistency that I have criticized.

 

I am not trying to start that debate here. But since you addressed your response to me, I wanted to be clear on what I've asserted and what I haven't.

My apologies. I did not mean to insinuate that you were complaining. Just attempting to engage you in conversation about it. Complaining on these boards about privates and open zones is rampant and I grow tired if it. The vast majority of them follow the rules.

Yep

Yep

That is interesting! Are they restricted to just Gibson county or are they able to get anyone that comes to school there regardless of geographic location?

Is it pending superintendant approval or can they just come?

How easy is it for a kid that lives in Trenton to come to Milan if they wanted to?

To be certain you would have to refer to each school system's specif policy. Most are the same but there are a few differences in some cases.

 

As far as Milan goes (and most other open zones) yes kids from out if county may come. They need to enroll prior to 9th grade or they will have to sit out a year per TSSAA rules. A tuition is required.

No offense taken; I always enjoy your posts. Best of luck to Milan in the playoffs. I will be pulling for you guys.

No more Bread of Heaven buffet was a truly sad moment in my life. Lots of fond memories taking my grandparents to eat there. Wouldn't hate to have 1 more "all you can eat" trip down that line!

Alcoa does run a clean program and was amazed on how focused the players were when we faced them. The didn't try to show out nor any single player didn't make it about themselves showing good teamwork but I do like to rile up the poon squad from time to time cause they entertain me.
