Drugs unfortunately are a problem on every campus - private or public. I am sure you are aware of this considering who you root for. As far as academics, I can assure you my freshman daughter survived an academic curriculum this past year that none of her older sisters or cousins ever had to endure in Public school. The 2021 graduates are attending some of the most prestigious universities in our country as others have for decades.

As for athletics the girls went from outhouse to penthouse in one year. Their recruiting is not just in Bedford County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sir you are correct but it’s the lay of the land now in the Private school divisions. EagleOldEyes was correct when he spoke about public schools. The importance and Pride communities have for their teams is unmatched. Even when our schools struggle ( and mine has recently) we still fill the seats every chance we get….

The rumor is that they have had a donor give in the neighborhood of $46 million dollars to the athletics programs and wants them to compete nationally. These coaches that are being hired are also not being hired to teach. They are finding positions for them so that the academics are not effected. Webb is about to be an athletic monster. Turf football field and baseball and softball fields will make it easier to recruit and they aren't only looking at the local kids. The football team as 2 or 3 Bahamians coming in this year.

Still 2nd and 3rd best in the district. Clevelands coach has a ego problem though and it bleeds down to the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCavsFan Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Big win last night by Warren County over Tullahoma. Impressive record and schedule thus far this season. I knew they would improve a lot this year but they are ahead of schedule. They may make a run at the district this year. That Coffee County matchup is going to be interesting.
