if tuition  doubles, still worth it. 

Hammer I'm sure you are 100% right from what all you have told me of your experiences there. All I know is that of all the schools in Blount County that didn't grow was Alcoa High according to the local paper. A spanking new school that didn't grow while the rest grew like a kudzu vine would tell anyone that the tuition was unaffordable to some people because that's where the story focused on was the drop in those students. There was a slight drop in the number of kids out for football as someone brought to my attention at the jamboree that follows Alcoa pretty hard. It seems to me Alcoa School Leaders want a leveling off at the high school. I also know The City of Alcoa's plans for creating another Turkey Creek on Alcoa Highway has only managed to be a real live Turkey so far and I expect anything and everything will go up including tuition to pay for that mess. This is Barney and this is my River Confessions for Today.

Knox County should consider high schools in between these overcrowded zones, like Cedar Bluff, with no sports (or maybe just basketball). I think a good number of kids would enjoy the vibe of an academic school. If a student wanted to, say, play football they could go to Farragut or Bearden, like at magnet schools. Maybe even have a no sports school in the Hardin Valley area to ease overcrowding.

    • It is what it is. Sorry DFL.
    • One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State. 
    • It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014. 
    • Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
    • You really mean the Price twin boys and Lyin Larry.
