Assinine.  It is not right that public schools cannot interact with their "feeder" programs in their own zone, but private schools can have guided tours of their schools at anytime and welcome the pub

I think that the main point of BPM's post slipped by unnoticed...not only are there several small townships within the boarders of Gibson Co., almost all have been declared Special School Districts. T

Violation of the TSSAA "recruiting" rules.  And yes, Peabody did break the rules as was well reported by the Jackson Sun. The recruiting rules set up by the TSSAA are ridiculously absurd in some instances.  These rules are broken all the time, and mostly inadvertently (and seldom reported). High School coaches are not supposed to have contact with any middle school student that is a potential athlete. MS principals can grant coaches permission to talk to players in a group setting but it has to be in writing.  It doesn't matter if the middle school that "feeds" the high school is in the same zone or not (which is ridiculous).  Rural counties where coaches are more difficult to come by are hit hardest by this madness.  I could go on and on about how stupid the stipulations of some of these recruiting rules are.  Bottom line is if you coach in high school or are an AD, you better know the rules inside and out or this could happen.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the issue here?

Peabody had a little video that was posted on social media of having a little signing day for 8th their graders at a local middle school. Majority if not all the students at that middle school will go Peabody, and everybody knows it. That video is considered "recruiting" even though all those students would be going to Peabody if it wasn't for the video. Trenton is a "one school town" Everybody goes to the same elementary, middle, and high school.

Assinine.  It is not right that public schools cannot interact with their "feeder" programs in their own zone, but private schools can have guided tours of their schools at anytime and welcome the public...............free of charge.  Private schools also bring in public school kids from other zones or areas and "test' them to make sure they can be accepted, but public schools cannot & have to watch their Ps & Qs.  Correct me if I am wrong.  Everyone who watched Peabody's video knows everyone of those kids will go to Peabody and attend school, whether they play ball or not.  I do not see recruiting involved.  I see Peabody welcoming those kids and parents, which is a great thing.

I just realized that Gibson County has five different school systems in a county of approximately 50,000. 

Blount has three school systems with a county population of approximately 130,000.

I don't know how many incorporated cities you have in Blount Co. In Gibson Co. Milan, Trenton, Humboldt and Bradford all have their own districts kinda like Maryville and Alcoa. Then their is the Gibson Co. School district which includes Gibson Co High School in the North part of the county and South Gibson High School in the south part of the county.

I learn something new everyday. There are a few historic football programs in that group. 

 

Blount County has the big two incorporated cities in Maryville/Alcoa that have their own school systems. We also have the incorporated cities of Friendsville, Louisville, Rockford, and Townsend. We had community schools in the county before consolidation back in 1977 (Heritage) and 1979 William Blount.

Walland won the Single A State Championship in 1975.

We also have a bunch of unincorporated towns with post offices and zip codes. Walland, Tallassee, and a small part of the Greenback zip code.

      Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch.  Wore #15 and was like a mini Tebow, with the exception of being right handed. He could take a pounding and keep on ticking. Played with a collapsed lung against Powell that year. Tough as nails.

      2024 5A Season

      By oridgecat · Posted

      They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.

      Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.
