Volsfan52 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I went to scrimmage against green hill. First play from upperman Jaxon Rollins takes it 75 or 80 yards. They looked good on offense. Defense gave up some yards against pass. Both qb looked pretty good. I’m excited to see we’re this teams goes. They could make a run for the championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookeville is refusing saying they will forfeit before they play in Baxter. So, the game will be played at TTU. Also, this will be the last year for this game. Cookeville's decision; coach doesn't want to play Upperman anymore. This is an interesting take on how things went down....

twistedsister Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Upperman is basically an alcoa now with the way open enrollment is or just like a private school. I'm not impressed in any sport anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNmommaofboys Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Upperman is no longer open enrollment. They are full. All the high schools WERE open enrollment and any kid IN THE COUNTY could go to whichever high school they preferred. No one could come from any other county unless they moved here. Now Upperman is at capacity and is not accepting any new students unless they are zoned for there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Upperman isn't at capacity but unless the school board has amended their own by-laws then Upperman is still open enrollment (Any school that has a transfer policy on file is classified as open enrollment like 95% of schools in TN). Maryville has ran into the same dilemma of capacity issues and why Alcoa is looking pretty smart right now building their new school that can hold around 900 kids.

Maybe Hard work and community support 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo44 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Upperman 34-Cookeville 0. Both teams looked better than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCSportsFan Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I heard someone say Upperman had 4 players transfer in from Cookeville? Is that correct? If so which players were they. Can’t say as I blame them Upperman will compete for a state title this year while Cookeville will once again struggle to compete at the 6A level. Maybe the new coach at Cookeville can do what so many others have been unable to and that’s make them relevant for more than a year. I hope so it would be great for the community and the kids.

I'm under the impression from people in the know that the game was always supposed to be at tech. The game has been played at Tech the last few years because baxter doesn't have enough seating. I have no clue about playing in future years but I will say the transferring down to baxter has gotten out of hand in all sports. Sometimes even after they've been an entire year at CHS. Most of the time there is no change of address either. Good win baxter. They should be tough to handle again in their division.

Actually the school was built for about 1000, but close enough. Plus, there is the ability to build up, or out. Plenty of room for growth… They have already started an addition to the the intermediate school, so it coming… Edited August 19, 2022 by Throwdeslant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
