Knox rule and I'd like to hear more about  south Harriman high school.  Ofc you got all the older Blount County  schools top Everett, Friendsville, walland,Wallander, Townsend 

Lanier and Porter. Porter eventually was consolidated into Heritage, but two years later than Walland, Townsend and Everett. They actually played Heritage in basketball before joining them two seasons later.

If you look at a zip code map. William Blount High school is right on the edge of the Friendsville zip code boundary. I think they told the post office they wanted a Maryville zip code so as not to anger the Lanier folks.

Never  knew that about  Porter.  I know  where  the other ones were  but what areas did porter and Everett  cover?

Everett had kids from all over the county. Back then, if you could get there, you could go there. Mostly the donut around the twin cities of Maryville/Alcoa was their main area.  Porter was out in Wildwood. There are still schools at all of these old Blount County locations, even Everett which is inside the city of Maryville.

Everett is right behind Blount Memorial Hospital.Porter is in the Wildwood/Nails creek area between Maryville and Seymour on Hwy 411 north.

Porter is doing a great job with the young kids!

I always wondered  why chatt city started  shrinking in the 80s and 90s going down to just single a ball in the  end  anyone know  the story behind that one?

Yes, sir. For whatever reason(s), the Chattanooga School Board changed them from a regular high school to a specialty type school, which killed their athletic program. They eventually closed the school. They have done the same thing to Tyner in Chattanooga, which is why they can no longer compete. BTW, during my first go around at Chattooga in the 80’s we played Chatt City a home and home series in basketball one year.
