GB had a dilapidated school and facilities for years.They built us a new school in 2013 and it is an attraction to the kids that have passed up by.The old school would get shut down numerous days thru a semester because of gas leaks and the structure was Run down.We are excited about the new "attraction".GB is a beautiful place to live and these folks are finally moving in.I will take them!You would too.The root of our team as shown Fri night is the homegrown boys,but if we can get some kids in that is really the only way to compete anymore.The only thing is we don't recruit of course a winning tradition helps.Look at Mville and Alcoa kids flock there,and we are just 20 mins down the road if the dont get enough playing time move to GB.We still do not accept out of county kids,these kids have to move here and the admin makes sure I promise you that!

I'm enjoying this SOOOO much, LOL!!!

Yep and it greatly affects 1a/2a the bulk of small rural schools can't compete on a consistent basis. Talent only cycles through every 7/8 years(on average). I'm not gonna start the argument all ove

Columbia Academy is the best in the east this season, but you know as well as I do that we have seen far superior teams come into Beene Stadium the past 10 years.

Pop, I've always been in GB's corner. You just gotta slow down and figure people out before you go off on them. I'm still pondering on this NCS bunch. I've watched very little so far but I think if GB

So in the process of learning GB here by reading... At first I read GB is a "small community" closed/zoned public school sounding to have bred and born GB kids playing from their own community they grew up in... Reminding me of my Alma mater Mount Pleasant... Now I am reading GB is getting transfers from different areas to 'build teams' like an open/not zoned public school. Not much different than the private schools other than no scholarship offers.

Which is it?

We're just having fun with each other. GB is a very small rural community that will always be a run what you brung kind of team. Yeah occasionally they may get a transfer here and there but I bet they lose as many or more than they get. I started this transfer mess giving OnB a hard time. I've followed Oneida for years and the GB junior high team you see today you'll see again in high school. Sorry GB, didn't mean to start something. Edited by crow

+1 and my team lost to his in the regular season and playoffs.

mTp has a few schools that's just 10-20 mins down the road that mTp could benefit from kids at those schools not getting play time, but those transfers just don't happen. It's called "Zoning". mTp has to play with what is bred and born within it's very small "Zone".

 

Huge disadvantage against schools who do not and are able to pick up players from the rest of the County or nearby Big City.

You guys!!!!Boy pop12 opened up the gate and let the Bulls out and left me alone without a horse!

He definitely got the pot boiling.

 

Thanks for the kind words from the GB posters that I met Friday. I can assure you, the pleasure was all mine. Now you guys need to chat it up this week on the championship thread with OnB. Last week of the season and that dude needs help, lol. Again, great to meet you guys and the conversations we shared. It was a great experience that I would NEVER have seen happening a few years ago. Glad you guys allowed me to experience Cooper Field from your spot.

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
