Hillwood HS will be an interesting case study for years to come.  Bellevue HS was closed down I believe in the 60s to make way for one of the newly created metro Super Schools, Hillwood HS.  I grew up in that area, and during the 70s-80s it had some athletic success but most importantly had strong community support.  I grew up going to football, basketball, and baseball games there...there were lots of local families who invested a lot in Hillwood athletics--fund raising, selling tickets, working the concession stands each week.  Hillwood had great crowds; they enjoyed great support from the community.  They hosted and defeated MBA in '89 and that night it was packed to the gills.  Hillwood always also had a great marching band back then that was a real source of school pride.    

I guess as the years went on, more people from the neighborhood opted for private school, new people moved in and didn't even consider the local HS...some of the stalwarts who supported Hillwood aged out...the newcomers to the neighborhood never formed any sort of bond with Hillwood.  So now, 60 years later, they will move back to Bellevue.  Which some old timers still living from that era will say, they never should have left Bellevue in the first place.  Strange around graduation time this year, driving around that neighborhood when the families put the signs in their yards honoring graduates, I never once saw a Hillwood HS sign, but I did notice 5-6 Hillsboro signs (among all the various private school signs)....

So now the million dollar question literally is what is metro going to do with that property?

Didn’t they give that property to the church in a trade or something like that?

You talking about the head coach that came from outside of metro??

Bro why are you so sensitive to anyone talking about metro… lol metro as a whole struggles to compete…. Poor coaching, poor disciplined kids, terrible facilities, no fans showing up. They’re facts. I know it hurts but it’s facts.

The same reason you go hard for Mt Juliet. I’m a PC/MNPS graduate. I know everything ain’t equal and things definitely can be better but at the same time not gone let you dog these guys as a whole. You also still skipped over the fact that he’s from out of the country.

When metro started bussing kids all around, they lost community and when they lost community they lost the reason for support. Whatever diversification experiment they were attempting has failed. I fully believe this is the biggest reason for so many kids opting for private schools etc. They don’t feel that connection to the school anymore. That’s why metro as a whole struggles every year. They have good teams pop up occasionally, but as a whole they struggle. PC seems to be the anomaly to that and they definitely have more of a “program” feel.

    • 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
