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.

    • Yes this process is moving slower than I would have expected
    • also was told coady auston applied, he served as defensive coordinator for greenfield under don pitt several years ago before going to Obion county  
    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
