Please correct me if I am wrong ....,...............system's open zone is the same is not fair when discussing this topic.

Ok......You're wrong. 

Privates schools can offer players FREE education to elite schools just for playing football. It's called scholarships.

Open Zone allow parents to PAY for the kids to choose a better school to attend,  even if it's for a better football program.  At Alcoa they also get one of the top academic public schools in the state. 

Build it and they will come!B)

It doesnt. And it shouldnt be allowed. No idea how you fix it. But its the direct reason for their success. 

nope it's not the reason. the direct reason is the work the kids put in. There is a natural talent pool of athletes in the area, that helps. But it's the work the kids put in that have separated them from other programs.

for example, Alcoa has 17 state championships. 10 of those have come in the have come in the 13 yrs since Rankin has been there. that's not a coincidence. 

when people using open enrollment as an excuse, it takes away from the effort the kids put in.

Yup. Over 90% of all school systems are open zone. Even Upperman. I bet Cookeville would like some of their zoned players back from the honey bees! HA!

Except Upperman doesn't take players whom live outside of Putnam County. It is in there school board policy. 

You should be able to have a simple discussion about this issue and realize Alcoa's open zone and the majority of open zone schools in the state are not similar. Is it the main reason they have been so dominate for then last two decades? No, but it does play a factor.

I will politely disagree with you on this point. Most open zone schools will allow students within the same county to go to a different school within the county. 

Yes we will have to politely disagree. And you are correct most open zone school systems will allow students to transfer with in the county. But they also allow them from out of county and state as well. There are a few that allow them in county only just like there are a few completely closed zone school systems. But the vast majority allow it. Most people on these boards know my background. I have many years as a teacher and administrator in on this.

Ok. I’ll take your word for it. What rule did they break??

Didnt say they broke a rule....I guess its all on the up and up...Just get tired of hearing them crow about how great they are when it is driven by am advantage most teams dont have. Especially the non metro areas. I guess its normal in knoxville to move around like that.

Well a good coach can coach talent any day but a great coach will take what they have and coach them up.  Fulton is a great example. Fulton is not getting everybody else’s kids anymore. 

Thats the way it should be tssaa needs to cap out of county numbers. If its your coaching and youth program it shouldnt matter.

    • As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.  
    • Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality. 
    • I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....
    • I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district
    • I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through
