Pray to whom?? God? Do you also believe in santa clause and the tooth fairy. The Easter bunny maybe. People have admitted to the exact same thing you are telling me I’m wrong about. 

Karns is 2nd in their 5a region on the back of Bishop.  Can't recall the last time they had a season like that.  Farragut won state in 2017?  and barely made post-season now.  Fulton had a good streak a few years ago, but they haven't done anything lately.  Has Powell ever won state?  West won it 15 years ago or something?  Let's think through what your saying and see if it alligns with reality.  Halls is playing better than they have in ages.  Central won two state championship, lost their head coach, and doesn't appear to be the same.  South Doyle made quarter-finals in 5a last year, dropped down to 4a this and finished 4th in their region.  If there were a vast conspiracy to cheat, wouldn't the same programs Keep winning every year?  In Knox County that doesn't happen.  You might be mad at Blount county here, but that of course is a different animal entirely.  And neither of those schools play 5a.

West won in 2014, no wonder you're not the AD anymore. :roflol:

I didn’t delete anything Ghomer. One of you probably cried and got something removed.

Btw, I like the way you changed Gomer into a more French sounding name.

This thread has run the gauntlet.  I am expecting a debate on existential thought including quotes from Camus next :popcorneater:

I think the coaching staffs are way more important than anything else.  Cummings coming to Halls has them on the way up, and i expect it to continue.

If Cummings would have got the job the year after Overton, they would probably be on the same level as Knoxville's best programs. Overton took over 0-10 and 1-9 teams and took them to the second round three years in a row, two of those three they were extremely close to making it to the quarters.  

 

I moved to Knoxville in 2000 and have always been amazed at how the teams in the area Roller-Coaster up and down.  Since I've lived here Central, Powell, Fulton, Austin East, Halls, South Doyle and even Carter have all had years were they looked like teams you'd see deep in the playoffs and then just a couple of years later they're struggling to break 500.

Yeah.  @RollRed just wants something to whine about.  Honestly, it's the small town programs that are most likely to turn into long-term power houses:

Greeneville

Maryville

Elizabethton

AC

Alcoa

 

That's just on our side of the state.  They have similar situations in Middle and west TN?

    • 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!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.

    • With June camps right around the corner, how are programs looking, reloading, any notable underclass coming in?
