I’m sure each kid has a uncle aunt cousin somebody that lives close to each school. I mean each relatively close to one another in the city. They just transfer and put down the  right address lol   I’m sure the office doesn’t care 

That is the least of worries them schools are thinking about I’m sure

The Dad teared up and said he wished his son coulda played small town ball !!! It really made me realize how blessed we are in small town america !!!!

Okay. Who knows anything about Douglas this season? We played them last year and they were tough. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

They lost the qb. And he was a threat. Lost several key players. If you grind them the first series and score then they will lay down.

Not dissing Trenton, but dad was right about "small town ball" in general. Scotts Hill has played in a bigger area than just about anyone over the past few years ( from Middleton and Halls to the west, Clarksville to Loretto in the eastern extreme), and the small rural schools turn out to watch and support their kids. We  have had our share of small Memphis schools in the playoffs, and it's truly a shame when the attendance is fewer than the number of players on the team.

   Softball hosted Oakhaven a couple of years ago on the same night that we had "meet the coach" for our basketball hire, and we invited them to join us after the game in the gym... It was both a happy and sad thing to watch those girls be amazed at the number of people there "just" to welcome a new coach to the Lion family. They stayed for the entire event, had a great time mixing with our kids, and were sad when they had to leave. All kids deserve to have what most of us small schools view as normal.

    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.  
    • He was pretty darn good for a freshman, but he will have a hard time seeing the field at Oakland for a good while, I’m afraid.
