yeah.  We tried that, and that whole recruiting thing got in the way...

If they would make a rule to stop (name of private school here) from sending a bus everyday to Rutherford County to poach some of the best athletes, some of the schools in Rutherford besides Oakland would be incredible as well.

And Central Magnet needs to add football so the kids interested in high academics can get both in one place.

They can and do play each other.  Plenty of opportunities to play non region against each other.   But they shouldn't come playoff time.

A WHOLE lot more recruiting going on now than there ever was then. Only now it isn't just privates but publics too.

This Oakland team?    Obviously they are good, but best ever?    I don't think so.

That’s sumner county as well. I know of at least 6 players that should be at Hendersonville high school right now but are at private schools instead. All of which are highly touted players. Same thing with Beech, Station Camp, and Gallatin.

Better? Yes. On Oakland's level? Probably not?

Not the best ever, but sure had the biggest heart ever.  1981 Rhea County lost the title game 3-0.  They just had their 40 year reunion.  This is the link:  

 

RC has had some near misses over the years. I don't know if they're the most successful program never to win state, but they gotta be close. I saw their 2014 team before the season started and I thought they'd win state

'91 Oak Ridge could play with anyone, IMO. Blackman has has some good team, as well FWIW.

Love this thread! Much love to all of the past & current juggernauts on BOTH the public & private sides. Definitely have to give a shout out to the Adeylot led 2003 4A Champs Hillsboro Burros that I believe got it right on the 3rd try (runner-up in 2001 & 2002). They had a golden era there for a good while & those teams were ALWAYS tough as nails. Also want to show love to the Scott Smith 2001 1A Champs Ezell-Harding team. Insanely innovative offensively at the time & were doing things on offense 2 decades ahead of anyone else regarding the spread no huddle around here. Both teams were special imho. How either of those teams would match up with this incredible Oakland team will forever remain to seen, but I'd be willing to bet that that ticket would be as hot at the Oakland/Riverdale or the Oakland/Lipscomb of this year. Great thread guys!

Take LaVergne for example.  If their student-athletes didn't get poached, they would at least be able to beat Metro teams.

People in Antioch say that Brentwood Academy has been taking their best players forever.  And then there is the bus from the other school that stops at the Waldren Road exit off 24 every day.  They are not even trying to hide what is going on.

I agree with the current HC they have. Stevens couldn't win even when he had talent

I'm not sure which side of I-24 most of the kids being poached at the Waldren Rd. exit bus live on.  One side is zoned to LHS and the other Stew Creek which is always a few guys away from being a power team.  Now that SCHS is back in the region with Oakland, Riverdale, etc instead of Antioch, McGavock, etc - they need every athlete they can get in that zone and not get poached from.

      Sweetwater Coaching Search

      By HTV · Posted

      Unfortunately the Sweetwater thing spooked some principals and ADs looking for head coaches in this cycle, even though Caleb wasn't at fault in any way. He had multiple OC opportunities. Personally, I'm glad he chose Karns, given that my oldest grandson plays in their middle school program.  Caleb is a good coach and a class act. It's a win for Karns to get him.

      Head Coaching possible openings in Middle TN

      I was asked about this untrue speculation last night at our banquet(and several times over the last few weeks) which has been circulating on this website and through word of mouth. I am not taking the Rockvale job, nor have I even interviewed for that job or ANY other job since coming to Tullahoma. I have no desire to leave Tullahoma, my family and I love it here. We are committed to building our Lady Cats basketball program. I wanted to make sure our players, parents and stakeholders didn't get mixed messages from what I have continued  to communicate from day one and the untrue speculations of me leaving.  Coach Hibdon As stated above and I will add for clarification. This includes Blackman, we have no desire to leave Tullahoma, go back to Rutherford Co (even Blackman) or ANYWHERE else. There has been speculation from day 1 that I may be leaving for another job particularly RuCo and I have had to address the speculations many times. So I felt it necessary to make a statement for the basketball community and mostly our Ttown community to hear my commitment again amongst these constant rumors. We love this community, love living by the lake and no desire to move our 3rd grader and 6th grader from this school system. I wanted to make these statements for all those who are invested and interested in Lady Cats Basketball that my family and I are committed to being a part of Tullahoma High and the Tullahoma community for many years.

Just when you thought you had seen it all, here we go......................

      I am betting on that one too. They will rock 4A. Many don't see it coming.
