Delusional. I have been well educated in the practices of Columbia Academy sports over the last 50 years. Living in Maury Co. all my life, I can tell you right away if you believe this I need to sell you some property. Why do you think there was a push by the county schools to stop scheduling them in sports? Wasn't because of school colors or anything like that. 

I dont have a real horse in the race, just cant stand CA sympathizers saying stuff out the sides of there mouth that sounds more like it should be coming out of their back side. I have seen them play a couple of games, and they are pretty good. I wanted to get to see LC, so I watched some hudl, I think you need to give them some credit. They look to be a solid 2A team, and should win this game. What do I know, we dont play football in Cully. Cant wait for basketball season.

Agreed Cully, watched CA lose the state championship to Perry County in basketball one year when over half of the starters were from Lewis County, some of the same kids that won the middle school state championship while playing at LC.

I know that CA has the NFHS or whatever pay-per stream of the game, but does anyone know if there is an audio or video stream (free) that will carry this game. I would like to listen at work Friday night if possible.

[EHSEagles]

yes, there is a radio station in Hohenwald that carries their games, I think it's 1260 am...google it to check...you can stream it online...how I had to listen to LC and Eagleville game earlier this year as I couldn't go.

I'm not trying to poke nobody, but one can't help but notice that up until the change CA had 50+ players on their  Jr High team. They are now on the HS team. This year I counted about 18 players on the Jr High team.  This is not due to a bad cycle it's because they can't be brought in as freely.

You don't know what you're talking about. Why don't you present some facts?  You can't because you have none. 

[ddaddy]

The facts are when CA could bring players in from Giles/Hickman/Lewis/Other surrounding countries and all of Maury and give them aide or work study or hire a relative they had a large number of good players. When they can't they have few numbers. 18 vs 50+ kind of days it all. When those players finish HS they will fall off or find a loop hole to bring more in.

CA had 19 on their roster when they played at Lewis County a few weeks ago. When we have met in the MS championships the last 3 years we have seen there numbers DRASTICALLY decreased. 

Asking for proof, there were meetings held with coaches and athletic directors from all Maury County public schools with the sole purpose of addressing the issues surrounding exactly what has been discussed here. Heck, you have numbers hanging from the rafters of your gym of kids that went to middle school in Lewis County and wound up at CA.

As for the Jr High numbers this year, it's just one of those things that happen at every school. Some grades have more players than others. The school had another record enrollment number this year. There hasn't been a decline overall. Some grades have numbers and others don't.  

As for the kids from other counties playing at CA, that rule was broken? If CA follows the rules set forth by the TSSAA for staying in Division 1 then... What? If a parent decides they want to send their kid to CA then that's an option everyone has. 

It's not like public schools and their athletes aren't doing the same thing. I know for a fact that there are a number of kids playing sports at current public schools inside Maury County and are zoned for other schools inside the county that have the exact same sports. Cullycutter, an athlete that played sports in your elementary & middle school is now playing a sport at Central and Cully has this sport. I can name kids at Mt. Pleasant, Hampshire, Central, Richland, etc...  that are playing school sports out of zone that their own school has! 

As for the out of county thing with CA, there are a number of kids that live outside Maury County that are paying a fee to attend public schools inside Maury County. I know one kid at Richland that lives in the middle of Columbia!

I say all that to say... If it's legal for these public school under TSSAA rules then it's fine! But don't go throwing stones at CA when there are public schools / athletes in almost every public school in our district doing the exact same thing that these coaches and admins are meeting about.  

Again... if CA or any school is breaking TSSAA rules, then report them!

[cullycutter]
