I read today that estimates were 1450 students .....Now they are saying add possibly 500-600 students to that # .. So they will stay 5a ? 

   I see that the schedule was released and they will meet up with DB next year (out of conference ) .. Being a South graduate but a DB fan (all my life ) , I'm kinda excited to see what they can do in the coming years .. A lot of good athletes in the 3 county schools over the years (especially North and South , but Central does produce some athletes )  

I will be at their first Home Game just to support the players that have been forced to come together !

Yeah, even West Ridge's own Facebook page when announcing their AD yesterday made the mistake of saying "approximately 1900 students".  Yeah, I would venture to guess they'll be bumped up to 6A.

From TriCitiesSports.com:

Quote

The school was also done no favors in Monday’s official press release by Sullivan County Director of Schools Dr. David A. Cox announcing Anthony Richardson as Athletics Director at West Ridge High School. “currently under construction, that will open to approximately 1,900 students in the fall of 2021 with the consolidation of Sullivan South, Sullivan North and Sullivan Central High Schools.

If what I’m understanding is true that DB had only 60ish varsity players at the end of the regular season and cut 20 some from the team for the playoffs due to increased chance of getting COVID introduced into the team, that would drop the # down into the 40’s and they graduate 31 seniors, that leaves very few returning next year, and the talk on the street is that some will be transferring  to West Ridge.  What talent pool will the upcoming classes have, having watched the middle schools play the last several years neither one has done very well.

    • Why? Low pay. Low budget thanks to the Rotary milking the programs revenue. Foul smell. There are other negative things... Positives: the players and being toward the top of the classification numbers wise.
    • What we have here is an influx of outsiders raining down on the town of Maryville like a swarm of locust trying to change our culture into the same crap they moved away from. I have no issues with anyone coming here but don't bring your politics with you. Most people around here never pay attention to the elections and keep letting the same ole rats and vermin right back in the back door and wonder why things are like they are. The problem at Maryville High is mainly due to letting outsiders get a foothold on control and shove their agenda down everyone's throat. Anyone that leaves there or let's say ranoff are replaced with an outsider with the same mindset. Eventually Maryville High will never be the same as it once was which I'm beginning to believe already but it's only chance of survival are to recruit people that will get in there and reverse the damage that has already happened.

    • Athletics is just a piece. It can help them academically, socially and add confidence. I was still 17 when I finished my first quarter at UT. I was the last to get my driver's license. It's not always just for athletics.
