Heck when one of your coaches sends their son to a private school, it has to be hard to sell different programs in the county to these athletes. Basically coaches saying these schools are not good enough for my own kids.

I can see that side of it.  I would also point out that their kids are in school, in person.  They have a regular schedule like we want metro kids to have.  He also probably has a better teacher to student ratio.  Don't know much about the connections from LA, but MBA's network is amazing and possibly life changing.  Just some other things to think about for these young men and their futures.

Don't think it really matters, to be honest

I think it will help teams like Glencliff and Hillwood given their low enrollment.  Those two teams don't have the number of kids to regularly compete with Beech, Gallatin and Hillsboro.

Howard in Chattanooga was bumped up to 5A this cycle due to increase in student population.  45% of the school is Hispanic.  They are appealing based on this to go to lower class....maybe Glencliff could do the same as well?

They can appeal all they want. It will be denied. Overton has over 50%.

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
