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.

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.

    • 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
