I understand that there is no districts for the county but if all the better athletes go to the same school you know that would definitely make a difference on how good they are.  Amazing that you think if those kids went to Cookeville high school that they wouldn’t be as good there. Best athletes of an entire county going to a AA school that should be classified AAA due to who they are drawing from is a given!! Clarkrange girls have had the same success for years. 

Tell me one good reason why they would want to go to Cookeville? Cookeville plays a much weaker schedule out of district than Upperman does by far.  Bray loads his schedule up with Class A and weak AA/AAA teams year in and year out. He rarely wins a game in the region tournament and competing for a state championship is out of the question.  8AA is as good or better than 8AAA year in and year out. Upperman has been better than Cookeville for years and I don’t see that changing in the near future.  There has been a lot of talent at CHS for years and they have nothing to show for it.  I Look for the trend of kids going to Upperman to not only continue but to increase in the years to come.

Lol, what on earth are you talking about?    

1. Cleveland, Station Camp, East hamilton, Lebanon, .... 

2. CHS has been in region Semi's 3 out of last 4 years so there goes the "rarely wins a game in region argument" 

3. To say that 8AA is "good or better" than 8AAA is first of all incorrect and irrelevant.  I'm going to assume you meant 6AAA.   It is still incorrect, btw.  No matter how you slice it.  Top 6AAA teams always better than top 8AA teams.   But I digress. 

4. Cookeville would beat Upperman right now, so I don't know about your near future statement either.

I’m talking over the last 20 years and since you brought it up how many times did they win that semi finals game?  How many times in the last 10 years have they won a semi final region game?  How about we have a little quiz here. Which is greater over the past 15 years, Cookeville first round region losses or their Region championships?

0.  But...How bout you have Upperman play in CHS region and see how many times they beat Cleveland, Walker Valley, East Hamilton, etc... Or before that and see how many times they beat Oakland, Riverdale, etc..

This is a bad argument. 

Obviously we will have to agree to disagree.  Have a nice day.

Upperman has 700 students Cookeville has 2200 big difference. Having said that I do believe they wouldn’t have done any worse!

There are some very good athletes walking the halls of CHS I just don’t feel like they’ve reached their potential for years under the current coach.

What happened to Livingston tonight? Per the T score board they lost by 20 at Pickett county.

LA  led only by 10-7 and 10-9. Pickett is very talented but very young so they have been up and down. They start 2 freshmen, the Amonett twins, Zach and Will, and Zach is the leading scorer at about 20 points a game. Will is an excellent ball handler for a freshman and can hit the 3. Then there is sophomore John Parker Reagan another good ball handler, and two juniors starting...Parker Gore who has come on strong this year and Luke Smith who can rebound and hit the three. Sophomore Remington White was out with an injury last year so he is like a freshman as far as experience goes, but is very talented, 6'4" and has great potential. He scored 12 last night but didn't play the whole game. PC led Clay Co. at the half Friday, but Clay pulled away to win by 11 after a bad 2nd half by PC.  When they play up to their potential an entire game they can beat anyone. Watch out for them next year and they could still do some damage this year in the district.

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
