The transfer you are referring to played all of last year with Clarksburg while living in Cedar Grove....moved to Huntingdon in Sept but continued to attend Clarksburg. She played in Clarksburgs first 8 games with Dec 9th being her last game. 

How is she elgible then? Played for Clarksburg while living in Huntingdon but now going to play for Huntingdon.

The family made a bonafide change of residence.... eligible....

So you can move to another town but while living in that town play for your current school and then play at the town you moved too in the same year? Don’t think I have ever heard of a change of residence yet still playing for the town you moved from .

First AP poll of the year came out yesterday.  

1. Greenfield (12)                15-0    127 

2. Loretto                             11-2    105 

3. Clarkrange (1)                 13-2     98  

4. Pickett County                14-1     88  

5. Summertown                  10-3    61  

6. Cloudland                        12-2    49

7. Tellico Plains                     8-0     41  

8. Huntingdon                      11-3    33

9. Gibson County                  9-7     32  

10. Oneida                            12-4    22

It's actually not bad, which is kind of strange for an AP poll.  I would have Huntingdon and Gibson County at 6 and 7, but that's just me.  I would love to know who didn't vote for Greenfield as number 1.  Clarkrange is really good, but I don't see how anyone could put them in front of Greenfield

Reason it is hard to go by polls. Lots of votes are voted with their heart instead of reason. Clarkrange is a good team and is very capable of winning the Gold Ball but the first three are accurate, IMO. I do think the first three are dangerous enough that you better be on your A game or your going home quick.

They lift out North Greene, witch is way better than Tellico, and I’ve seen both play, Tellico has played two teams that has more than 4 wins. There simply looking at record, there’s no way there one of the top ten teams in 1A.

Yeah they went to sleep on North Green. I hear they are a real good team.

I have explained our process on here before but here it is again. Before the 1st poll the voters across the state share recommendations with each other so we can make a more educated vote. Media in NE Tn. did not share information on No. Greene but did recommend Tellico in the 9-10 range. Also No. Greene was not in the Top 10 SOS here on CoachT so believe that's why they were overlooked. I personally also leaned on Tim Lownsdale's Coaches Poll because he does a good job evaluating teams across the state. He had No. Greene at #5 so I probably should've voted them somewhere. I will rectify that next week.

I take voting in the AP poll very seriously and the vast majority of my colleagues do as well. We do not just look at records. Polls will always be open to disagreement but they serve a purpose and most of all that is to give the youngsters some deserved notoriety. I appreciate all input on these boards about your teams and use it in preparing for broadcasts.

By the way, tonight's Greenfield-Gleason games can be heard on 101.3 WCMT beginning at 5:40.

    • Yeah they both should be good games whoever matches up with who. Wartburg has beaten Oliver Springs all 4 times they’ve played this year but they have been close games. I believe Wartburgs first sectional appearance was last year when they went to North Greene. Good luck to you all!
    • What did they do this year? Every other year, I’ve gone to one. It’s been a little scrimmage and then a bunch of games like a quarterback throwing challenge, O line versus D line, push-up challenge, etc.    But not surprised, nothing new that the program has been on the decline since they lost their recruiting middle school coach. The baseball coach still does his fair share, but he recruits good baseball players. Not good football players, and decent baseball players, definitely nothing like the middle school coach could do, he left for a middle school job down near Cleveland high school a few years back.
    • Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.
    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.
