Truth be told.  You can do that in more rural areas.  If you did that in the Metro/Nashville you'd have a mass exodous, and have 4 or 5 stacked teams with crazy numbers on the sideline(Greeneville)  Meanwhile other teams wouldn't be able to field one. Understand now?  It's not cheating. Just not fair across the board

Definitely not cheating, just a big time advantage.

a little more indepth explaination please. Forgive my ignorance 

I’ll give it a try. I think what he’s trying to say is that Greeneville, Alcoa, and Maryville are open zone city schools more or less. Anyone that wants to go there can as long as they get in, can get a ride, and pay their tuition. Now if you’ve got great sports programs, facilities, and good coaching staffs, which they all do. The upper crust of good athletes in the area are naturally going to want to come there. Is it an advantage? Absolutely. Is it wrong? Absolutely not, it’s within the scope of the rules the TSSAA has laid out. You’ll never hear me say anyone of those schools is cheating or anything like that. The players still have to put in the long hard work like anyone else, and so do the coaches. Truth be told, I wish our district would allow it.

So is it a advantage or no DevilMan? If some teams can do it, all teams should. Truth is, that rule across the board would destroy teams that never win. They wouldn't field a team because they don't have enough players. Less Teams/ Less $$$$ for the TSSAA!  They know what they're doing.  All about the dollar

i say devils up by 4 scores by halftime. Look i understand they are cocky but honestly until someone shuts them up they can keep talking lol. There is nobody on this board that would not love to have their tradition. I respect what they got going on and i will praise them...when they finally get beat i will tell them that too lol. 

To bad the fans can’t strap it up and play against one another lol. I feel like Bill Goldberging a mutha :roflolk:

You do realize that in the eyes of the TSSAA there are way more open zoned schools than what they classified as a closed zone?  Any school system that has any kind of transfer rule in place is classified as open zoned (Rather that be for disciplinary reasons, childs safety, etc.).  Every team can technically do it as long as their School Board has that rule in place.  For the 3 teams people have mentioned (Alcoa, Maryville, and Greeneville) I could name a ton of other schools that are open zoned and don't field competitive teams

    • 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 .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
