I think everybody is off on their perspective. Winning a region championship is an accomplishment to be proud of. On the flip side, to say going to the semifinals is the equivalent of "winning nothing" is totally wrong as well. Personally, I would rather play in a game that gives you the opportunity to go to the state championship. Neither negates the value of the other to me. I just think it's a moot argument to compare the two.

But it’s fun to argue!

I thought Mr Forrest brought up a good point earlier in the thread. I’ve always thought it was weird how hartsville has around 8,000+- residents and almost 400 kids in the high school. Not saying anything is going on by any means just think it’s interesting considering Watertown, chapel hill, and Decatur  for example have populations of 1,500 or so. Even carthage has around 2,300 residents and they have a 3a school. I don’t know if harts is primarily senior citizens or what but them just having one school in the county you’d assume they’d have more then 400 kids between the ages of 14-18. Granted I realize with schools like smith county or Watertown kids go to the school while not living inside of the city limits but I would personally think with the size of the county more kids would be enrolled. Can anyone explain why it’s this way I could be dumb and skipping over something?

what does that mean 

Drive  through Trousdale County and look at all the new houses that have been built in the last few years and yet TC’s student count is dropping???
 

Who occupies those homes and where are these kids the rest  going to school?
 

TC has “excellent” educational scores, so I’m sure those kids are not traveling out of county to attend school.

All the kids in those schools don’t live inside the city limits. Carthage high school pulls from the majority of Smith County as you stated. The numbers in TCHS are legit.

    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.
