How does our State Champions stack up?

I taught in MO for 2 years and I can verify TN is better across the board. The gap is much closer in the big classes but our small classes are much better. A great 1A game would be Lake Co vs Hayti. Hayti is a very good small school in MO and they are only about 30 mins apart. Hayti makes consistent deep playoff runs and has put kids in the nfl. 

Malden is where the guys I know kids have played, and vouched that the competition there isn’t that good until you get later in the playoffs in 2A. MO is considered really a state that is high on there baseball and basketball.

BPM, Lake County played Hayti twice in 2009 and 10 I believe. I could be wrong on the years. LC won at Hayti 23 to 6 and I believe 44 to 18. Coach Bert Snow was head coach the year we won 23 to 6 and David Barger his 2nd go around was the other win. Fulton County is improving in Kentucky. I know their new coaching staff are turning that program around.

Interesting factoid:  SP beat Courtland in the regular season of 1999.  Trouserhoser County beat Hazel Green in the regular season.  Courtland went to win the Alabama 1a title and Hazel Green the 2a Alabama title.  SP beat TC in the semi finals on the way to the TN 1a title.

Even more interesting factoid: Hazel Green has never won a state championship. And the last time HG was 2A was 1963...currently they are 6A. So theres that.

 

And that was a 9-6 Courtland state title team. Not their best

He meant to say Hazelwood. In 99 TC won over Hazelwood 38-32.

Yeah I taught in Caruthersville which was 2A with Malden and in the same district. That district was weak in my opinion. Caruthersville was usually the best team in that class and would get to the qrts or semis only to get destroyed. Many 2A teams in West TN are traditionally better. I think one of the big reasons they lag behind tn is that MO doesn’t allow teams to have spring practice. Really hurts especially your small schools when you need to get your 8th graders up and working with the high schoolers.

As already pointed out, I meant Hazelwood.  Nice try though.  Courtland had the losses because of their competition.  They were still the 1a state champs in Bama as was Hazelwood in 2a.  I was going from memory rather than googling it.  You should have picked up on Hazelwood being a perennial 2a power back then if you know half as much as you think you do.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
