On Sept 21 Alcoa is going to get a taste of 6A football.    But let's be quick to point out that there is absolutely no shame in losing to a school whose band is bigger than your student body.     

I needed that laugh.

You think Alcoa will lose to DB? 

Alcoa has achieved things that DB can only dream of.   But yes, in this case I am going with the Tribe in a mild upset 26-24

If you are an open zone school and win a championship you move up a division. Just like almost every other state. 

This should happen without even a debate.  Open zone provides an unfair advantage but I'm sure the blowhards will disagree.  The "the opponents should get better" crowd would be out in full force.

Some of these "open zone" schools recruit the same way private schools do. How can some schools compete with public "open zone" schools that can hand pick a whole team. ijs

The problem is, most schools are "open zone" as you like to call it. Every single football player at Maryville High School could have showed up at William Blount their first day of 9th grade.

Apologist??? You want to label me, and insinuate that being "open zone" is somehow beneath being pure and fair in competition...we can go there. All public school systems in Tn. are open zone UNTIL the Board of Directors vote to be otherwise, and are able to set restrictions ( tuition, enrollment, zones, ect… ) as they see fit, so I'll assume that wherever you're from is closed zone and your system forces you to send your children where they decide. How do you justify telling a county taxpayer which school a child must attend? All schools are not equal athletically or academically...lets say that graduation rates, ACT scores, GPA, and college enrollment numbers are significantly higher at one school than another in your county...you OK with your children's future being affected negatively by the zone you live in, although your tax dollars fund the "better" school as well as the one your Board forces your child to attend? Got a faint whiff of socialism about it to me, and I will never change my position on the matter, nor APOLOGISE for it.

Ahh, the ole "Board of Directors" argument is a popular.  "It's not the schools fault they are open enrollment, it's the Board of Directors fault".  This is the biggest load I hear.  How many of those Directors are alums of Maryville and Alcoa.  How much female dogging will Rankin do to the Directors if they even considered closing the zones.
