Could be, just depends on how many are in our region next year, hear of some in the area that may be moving down. I'd rather have them than Daniel Boone. Its been tough trying to fill a schedule with local teams.

I'm pretty sure 420 is the entire school because there is no way that small school facility can handle 800 kids. They had to have a turf field because of to many uses or it would look like a garden by mid year. Where Eagleton will luck up is getting some kids that normally would go to Alcoa. Before that even has a chance to grow there will be another school on the other side of town. This campus does not have adequate parking for over 400 students and teachers. The place is so compact for every possible square inch on that campus there's not enough room left to cuss a cat out. I honestly thought it was a big joke when they were first talking about this because it's landlocked in between a couple of subdivisions and no possible way to expand. I don't think anyone has to worry about a school in 2A with 800 kids.

What caused the confusion in a large part is TSSAA listing them with 420 students in grades 9 & 10.

I'm sure but take my word the place is confined to such a small space the county isn't going to allow it to get over run. It would be like the Sonic having 40 parking lots with another 80 cars driving around and around the restaurant waiting for one of those cars to leave.

If the 9th and 10th graders are driving, its sounds a lot like Stevenson, AL.

I'm saying when the school eventually is grade 9 through 12 with 4 00 students it will be so crowded they'll have to park in the retention pond.

Not saying that's how it'll turn out, but I believe you are underestimating the overall incompetence of the TSSAA. In '16-'17, Northview was playing in Single A (in everything but football) with 750 kids.

Before all the small community schools were put into two big schools Blount County was a powerhouse in small school football and I do believe some people that run the place are figuring that out after 45 years of getting their heads beat in at WB and Heritage. That's why I hate it when these schools all go together because the end product is nothing but a nightmare. The best brand of football are the small community schools and I believe Blount County would like to go back to that and we'll see another one pop up on the south side of the county possibly if the Eagleton venture goes well.
