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.

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
