Not Cheating O&B , luring kids yes. Same thing as Grace. Just take 3 kids a year,that would equal 12 in four years. If you think I'm lying about my conversation,thats you're option. I'm not so big on lying. He or no other small school wants to play loaded teams. Talked to some of Coalfields fans at our game,  You should have .heard the talk.

 

How are they "luring" anyone. If Hampton built a new school because the old one needed replaced and put together a couple of winning seasons would it be ok for some cloudland kids to transfer as long as they were legitimate?

3 or 4 Is a little sandbagging don't you think. Reminds me of Grace and I seem to remember all these little public schools hating them. I was was a huge voice in that and this is no different.

            And when they go 3 classes ,be sure and let the private schools back in. Plenty of then would be in the smallest class. If its OK to let the One's with the most advantages win,by all means, let the rich cat's have this also.

Gimme a list pujo, I follow GB as close as anyone not in GB. There was Silvey, Roberts, the kid from Alabama, the 8th grader this year and the Alcoa kid who honestly didn't do much for them except the 2nd half of the OS game. That's 5 over the last what, 4 seasons? Folks like you and me gotta remember not everyone lives in the stick in the middle of nowhere. You don't got to Hampton or Oneida, you go through them. No jobs, no industry, no real opportunity at all. GB was that way, now you drive to GB and Alcoa, Maryville and to a lesser extent Lenor City have grown immensely, people want their 3 bed 2 bath on 5 acres. Can't afford it or its just not available in those places, drive 15 minutes and GB has it at a third the cost of above mentioned cities. Give it another 10 or 15 years and GB will be even bigger, a lot of industry and opportunities surrounding them. My grandkids will likely see a 3A GB team I believe.

And if it was happening at Hampton, Cloudland, Wartburg, Oneida or anywhere else they or we would be to. Only time folks don't like it is when they're on the beat down side of it. I'm still waiting for someone to get upset about Gilbert transferring away from GB, other than GB of course lol.

You don't follow to close,  How about the huge lineman from Maryville, the kid this year from Seymore.   Greenback could tell you all the kids but they don't really care to.

He sure did after absolutely destroying Hampton for 9 years. Was his Uncle, 

Was it ok for him to move schools? Was that fair for cloudland? Or maybe, just maybe as long as it was legal it's nobody's business but yours and Mrs. Pujo where YOU choose to send your son to school.

Nope, try again. I meant I didn't care if all 11 starters were transfers just as long as they were legal. I don't see anything GB has to offer to "lure" anyone there. No tuition, no jobs, no industry, I just don't see what inappropriate benefits could be given in return for attending GB. 

And thats another point, they have nothing to offer, why would they go.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • 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.
