So I guess only “high schools” from Memphis can win state championship 

Schedule, and how you perform against like teams isn't a fool proof predictor, but it is something that gives you an inclination as to how to rank teams. 

If this thing is played out, forget BTW, Hampton will have to fight with everything they've got to keep up with Loretto.  Loretto hasn't lost to a single A team all year and have some great games against multiple good AAA teams.

This is pointless to go back and forth since we will not see the tournament played.... However, I am sure Hampton has a quality squad but they do not have even one big time win... Booker T beat a Whitehaven team that was "favored" to win the AAA gold ball and peaked in the national top 40 rankings. Hampton has nothing even close to that on their schedule and since this is a "who would win" we have to resort to who has the best schedule and quality wins...

I too doubt this tournament is played but if it was, Hampton would have their hands full with Loretto...Just like they did at the Arby's Classic vs Tabernacle Baptist from the Bahamas. Wins against top tier programs don't always mean so much in HS sports. I am not a fan of the SOS (Strength of Schedule) and have 1,000 examples as to why...Our trips to the boro in years past are examples as was our football runs as recently at 2016...It's all about match ups not who've you've played.

Records and who you’ve beat don’t mean a hoot.

    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
