Inter-Divisional Internet Championships

The difference between the public schools and the private schools can be seen dramatically in middle school.  The public middle schools (especially Cleveland and Lake Forest) dominate the private middle schools.  The privates catch-up and often pass the public schools once they start to recruit.  Many Cleveland and Bradley Country athletes end up at Baylor and McCallie and no one blames the kids for taking advantage of the opportunity.  But I think the separation makes sense especially for dual championships.

Maybe back in the day Collins Hill, but pretty sure Baylor would have slapped them around this season. Baylor was loaded and I think they would also have had a shot with Camden. As far as the rest of the state, Camden isn’t even close to the biggest school in your state and still would have the highest student population of any TN high school, Collins Hill would be about 1000 more than our highest Collierville. Now maybe if you said Jefferson I would agree, they of course would still be considered a big school in TN instead of a AAA school as they are in Georgia. But again still not sure which if any GA teams would have beaten baylor this year. 

Collins Hill had 6 in the state finals and won 5 of them.....check out their new coaching staff.....and I think had 11 medalists......in 7A.

Let’s be real....there are 7 divisions with 16 man brackets....Brookwood being the 3rd best team in CH division. You better be placing 11.

CH from back in the day.....most definitely could have competed, maybe beat Baylor..... no way they compete this year though.

If your predictions were true the results would be as follows:

D2 10 State Champions

D1A-AA 2 State Champions

D1AAA 2 State Champions

Folks the gap is only getting wider since the split.  You cannot legislate competition in any shape form or fashion.  If the D1 schools want to close the gap on the D2 schools they must be an advocate to put everyone back together for the individual state championships.  Iron truly sharpens iron and it would force everyone to step up their game.  

Agreed... Why not? Never made sense to me. They all put their pants on the same way, right?

Duals, I'm good with... Cleveland and Baylor should schedule out for an elite midseason tri or quad with some invitations,,, e. g., Blackman, Ryan, Wilson Central, Science Hill/DB etc

CH or Archer from back in the day would beat just about any team in the Southeast, now or back then.  They were both Top 10 teams Nationally.  

The only team in GA this season that could compete with Baylor is Woodland-Cartersville.  That would be a fun dual to watch.

Agree.......I wasn't sure if Woodland and Baylor saw each other this year.   I remember when my son was a senior at CH......we lost to Blair.....33-30.

Sadly they did not, but I agree with Matt, Woodland Cartersville would easily be a test if not beat Baylor, they won the 5A 47-15 in the finals and they also beat Collins hill 56-18 this past season. They are tough as nails and they killed it at the McCallie Tourney.

Woodland I think be a 50/50 match with Baylor and they are a public school and not even in largest division in GA so all these people on here complaining  about the unfair advantage the private’s have need to give it a rest

Woodland has an enrollment of 1575 or about so right around where Cleveland has, so yes they would be a large school in TN, it’s just because GA has some schools that have over 3k students is why they are not in the highest classification while Collins Hill is. Also it seems in GA the power switches every few years on who the best is depending I am guessing on coaching. CH back before you ever came along in late 90’s ran roughshod over people even into the 2000’s. Buford took a turn and some others took a turn ever since. Unlike with Bradley and Cleveland pretty much taking the reigns in TN with a Soddy thrown in for good measure(I think since 1998 only two teams from outside Chattanooga area has won a AAA or when only 2 split a non private school team title and that was Clarksville in 2000 and Franklin in 05). 
 

 Also if you don’t think Privates don’t have an unfair advantage I don’t know what to tell you. If they didn’t why is your son there at McCallie and why is your best friends son going to Blair? Both private schools and one in which the school recruited an athlete from Over 700 miles away! In my best ESPN voiceover C’mon Man!

What does recruiting have to do with INDIVIDUAL STATE CHAMPIONS?  I fully understand the separation along whatever lines are required for team state championships but I am talking about individual state championships.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
