I think KC would be in the mix if they still hard Martin, Winton, and Lively.  Those transfers hurt in my opinion.  They were/are excellent players.  You are right- OL/DL is huge in the division which is why MBA is rolling.  

@JRB corrected me on my post about KC vs Baylor and PJP.  He loves to point out my mistakes!

With Martin and Lively they definitely would be better.  Winton didn't transfer but graduated and signed with ETSU

Catholic has enough money to travel.  Alcoa used to have to play teams in Kentucky every year to fill their schedule but they never played Chuckey-Doak or South Greene.   Did the student section matter against those teams for KC?  What a joke

Those teams are willing to play, when you play region games in Chattanooga and Nashville, why should they travel to Kentucky? All my kids attended Knoxville Catholic and played sports.  There is this misconception that there is this unlimited financial resources.... there isn't.

I stand corrected! Like I said, I don’t follow this division that close. Thanks.

They didn't win it all since Catholic joined the Private School Division.  Those championship teams were when they were still playing public 4a Football and 5a Football (It was the 2015 Catholic Team not 2016 in 4a and the 2017 not the 2018 in 5a)

Knox Catholic won titles in 2016 and 2018 under Steve Matthews.  2017 team lost 1 game on the field (had to forfeit a game). Some relevance

You have your years off by one each way.  2015 and 2017 team won State Championships.  The 2016 team is the one that lost one game on the field against Fulton a team they beat in the regular season but Fulton put it on them the 2nd time around winning by 19 at Catholic in the 2nd round

Since they started playing in the division where they belong, along with the other teams that give "academic scholarships", Catholic has posted a 2-3 region record each of the past 3 seasons.  Their record is 15-14 if you subtract two covid wins.  6 of those wins have been against Chuckey-Doak and West/South Greene.

Swipes you are correct sir, I should have known that...since my son played on the 2015 team. Old age lol.  It's been an adjustment moving to D2.  Like i stated in a previous post, I think the difference is the OL and DL.

Have you seen Sacred Heart?  We both know that the church has deep pockets.

The Church and the school are separate entities.  I know the other Catholic churches weren't real thrilled when the Bishop remodeled S.H.

QSouth is right about the money. I’d have preferred that money go to upgrading athletic facilities. An indoor athletic facility would have been much nicer in my opinion. LOL

No one seems to talk about Knoxville Catholic this year. Is it because they played two schools first that should be more suited to play Greenback or after the Baylor game you would think someone would say something. Maybe those conversations are only limited to the men's locker room at The Cherokee Country Club. 

there is a post Barney

Booger just sayin
