Blaze I agree with some of what you stated. 

First it's not just private schools getting talent from metro schools. Metro has created an environment where metro kids go to schools that win, not their zoned schools. If athletically gifted kids can't get into or afford private schools they are going to schools that win in metro.

As far as teacher pay, metro is near the top in the state and in many cases much more than private school pay. You are correct in facilities but some are pretty good in metro. East and Glencliff have all new facilities. Hillsboro and Hillwood soon to come. Now do they compare to Ensworth or LA, no but not bad for public schools. 

Plenty of kids sign scholarships from metro schools. Look at CR, PC, Hillsboro, and EN to name schools that put kids in college. Overton still has kids that get signed each year too. 

As far as bringing everyone together for a program in metro.....thats the tough part especially at a school as diverse as Overton. 

Can it happen, yes but it will take the right coach to keep kids at Overton and they have to win now.

IF you think the privates are who you have to recruit against you are naive. Those 4 publics have taken it to a whole different level. No longer having an AD in Metro who cares has created the problem

I guess Broome applies here also. He has for every decent job that has opened in the last several years. I highly doubt Morrison is interested. He turns 60 this year. Doubt he is looking for that

I agree, but I guess the simplest way for me to put it would be like this, That kid that is going to s school that is not real competitive has a is a struggling school academically but plays pretty good ball, is going have a tougher time getting spotted by those division 2 schools than that kid with pretty good skill playing at a very competitive school, simply because there are more looks at that school.  Maybe I am  wrong, but just my thoughts

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
