Catholic vs Oak Ridge: A Rivalry is Born

[atrisk]

I don't know. If I had to guess I would say yes. If the answer is yes, would the next question be: are any of the players that received aid in the past, playing on this year's team.

I'm confused, one of the KC posters said the team no longer has any players on aid, does that mean they did previously (while in Division I)?

 

Catholic has never had any athletic scholarships. The only financial aid had come from work study or multiple siblings discount. Both of these aids have gone away.

Thank you for clearing that issue up.

Dont be surprised if next year is the last for the final few private schools in Division I. Knoxville Catholic and Columbia Academy in the semifinals I'm sure will stir it up.

I think you are correct.

I wouldn't have a problem with us going private if we could fit into the smaller classification where we could play local teams. We were just above the cut off line for the smaller division and I'm thinking with the AD at Webb on the board that was no coincidence. We might be slightly bigger but Webb, CAK and Grace can and do play 8th graders.

I understand Catholic(private) did not want to do alot of traveling. Understand slightly smaller privates did not want to play a larger private for trophies. Meanwhile Catholic wins region 4 5a, sends 3 region 5a home and probably a region 2 5a home 5his Fri. Oh well, at least some people got what they wanted.

Football and boys basketball will compete but not necessarily win wherever they are placed. Our other sports will really struggle this year and probably finish in the bottom half of the district. It's not all about football in this case.

Think that will be the mindset this Fri. night at Central?

Which makes no sense to me.  A district game this early in the season.

Is the Maryville - Catholic basketball game a region game?

Torn between that and watching Luke Smith play at Maryville College....
