The split happened here initially (and then definitively) when publics didn’t like losing to privates because the “recruiting” makes it an non-level playing field. This in spite of multipliers and numerous other rules attempting to make it so. Of course the perennial powerhouse public programs are all above board and would never use shady tactics to gain an advantage on their competitors.

You had a school with 350 students beating schools with 2,000, regularly, and usually, by large margins. Seem out of the ordinary?

I think anyone can find an outlier that proves there point...say Alcoa that regularly drubs 5A/6A schools and is accused of cheating just as regularly with a 1/4 - 1/3 of the kids.  I may have started us down this path when I mentioned "the old days" with only 3 classes.  My point was that Privates were not dominant...in fact Gallatin was the big dog.  

Another interesting point:

Texas.....almost 1400  schools.....12 championships

Tennessee....300-ish schools.......9 championships

Now this DOES seem out of the ordinary.

I remember The day of 3 classes. Being in a public school we took pride and put forth extra work to kick the tail of a private school. So by kicking the privates out meant public’s wanted the participation trophy a lot more. Way to many classes period. Private and public.

Best Private vs public example I can think of was Lausanne vs Whitehaven.  Beat them 2 years in a row.  Little ole DIIAA Lausanne against a 6A Whitehaven powerhouse.  Yeah...

So to me that is coaching. Because I am From Memphis and they both have athletes. White haven I would Say has more athletes. So what was the difference.

Whitehaven should have beat the breaks off of them. They have more D1 players. More athletes. 

Right, but like I have been saying for a while....the level of competition at these smaller private schools is insane for the amount of athletes they have.  The coaching, facilities, and hand picked athletes make the difference.  Literally the x's and o's....Jimmies and Joes.  Oh yeah, and in that instance...the Eric's too.  LOL.

    • 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
