My point which I’m sure you know that i was going to make in turn caused you to say the same crap that most people that wish they won like Maryville and Alcoa make every time

Alcoa should move up -
if we did we would only have about 3-4 non running clocks just like we do now

Murvall should play out of state competition - cut the check for them. I’m sure they would

 same Old crap Every time

 oh the yrs Alcoa beat M we hear - well they should go outta state and play Hoover or some team in Ga and just see what happens. SMH

I mean it's very very very common for state powers to venture out of their comfort zones and seek competition. That's another difference between the states you named, Georgia Texas California Florida etc. Their top teams (especially in the higher classifications) have no problem at all traveling out of state to play another state or even nationally ranked team.  They wouldn't even have to cut a check because Maryville vs a Hoover or something like that would earn them a check from ESPN. But if the big fish in a little pond approach is what you want to take that's fine.

Schools in Tx run between 4000-5500 at the highest level. 
what schools are closest to PC that would add up to about 5000


Look at blount count schools

alcoa - 650

maryville - 1750

william blount - 1800

heritage - 1600

if we pulled Greenback from Loudon county they have about 250 kids
you could add alls these together and not be as big as Allen Tx hs

thats crazy to me. Oh we could compete with any school anywhere with alcoa and Maryville combined by the way

Ga-Tx-Fl-Ca

If y’all combined Alcoa and Maryville who’s your staff? Far as near Pc the only schools somewhat near out area Hillwood/Hillwood. That would put us at about 3,000 kids..I would love to see metro Nashville with 3-4 High schools. 13 public’s is to many. Our largest schools are 2200,1900 and 1,600.

Just like when Blackman played Hoover some years back and it was on Espn

Cant speak for them but Alcoa has been to other states and played in the past. Not sure about Maryville going out of state that i can remember.  
what is your reasoning behind seeing them go to other states?

so if they lose you can say something about it or what ?????

Tn population is growing. May get to where they want to build mega schools but i dont see it any time soon. Right now Blount county is about to add another 3 to 4a size school in next yr or 2

And I wasn't speaking on Alcoa there. I remember y'all playing Belfry and Corbin, I'm sure there were a few others. Maryville on the other hand plays nobody out of state. Haven't since I've been paying attention to Tennessee football statewide. And no IDC to say something about it if they lose but it would give the state more national prominence if they won.. another reason we don't get looked at like a Georgia or even Alabama.

Could you imagine if Pearl-Cohn, Maplewood, Stratford, Whites Creek, East Nashville, Hume Fogg, Hillwood, Hillsboro, Hunters Lane, Glencliff, Cane Ridge, Antioch, Overton, McGavock, MLK, etc. were one super-sized public high school?  They could play their games at Dudley Field and look like an SEC team walking on the field every Friday night.  

...........and still get beat by Alcoa or Maryville on coaching alone..........next.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
