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.

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

    • 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
