What I meant was, if the public teams are good, then a school like Ryan will not be ABLE to recruit those kids  and then you will stay the bottom feeder of D2AAA. We both know you have to get some of those athletes to compete in any way in AAA.

Bottom feeder….NICE!

Public schools being better is good the the city…period.  PC beat MBA twice in a row.  More PC’s in the city would be awesome.  Competition comes from a broad base and not 2-3 “elite” programs.  I would love to see Overton and Whites Creek at their former selves.  And not just metro….a Gallatin return would be good as well; just like Dickson County. There are athletes in the area for everyone to prosper….like everyone did years ago.  To say Davidson county only has 150 good athletes yearly would be absurd.  Rather than blame D2’s, what question should be what does the middle school program look like?  There is no feeder program in the city in my opinion.  Ruco and Wilco seem to have them…just like Alcoa and Maryville.  I don’t see the D2’s in that area affecting state championships.

God bless the next coach at Antioch and the Glencliff coach.  They have the biggest challenge in high school coaching history imo.   

I was reading that at Glencliff you have over 40 different first languages being spoken within the student body.  The school is truly the United Nations which is not conducive to having a great football or all around athletic program.  With a vast majority of the Glencliff students being first generation Americans the immigrant parents require the students to work as much as possible.  When the last school bell for the day rings there is a line of construction trucks picking up many of the students and taking them to work the last few hours of daylight.  The same can be said for the students working on the weekends.

There are over 40 spoken at Overton also. They are not the tea-sippers anymore.

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
