Clarksville area football is confusing. They  can do less with more…. 

Agreed even though Clarksville is on the rise

Northwest should honestly drop back down to 4A

Northeast going from 5A to 6A is going from the Frying Pan and into the Fire

But yeah I agree with this

Everyone is missing the point when it comes to all of the Clarksville teams playing up to 6A… it’s not about competing, it’s about drastically reducing your travel, thus saving the school district a ton of money (which is really all they care about anyways) and it guarantees 4 Clarksville teams will always make the playoffs (which has never happened?)

and the region that they would represent will get swept in the first round of the playoffs each year.CHS would be the only team with a chance of winning a 6A playoff game.  IMHO Montgomery County’s ban on Middle School football puts all their programs behind the proverbial 8 ball.  That coupled with virtually no community support, outside of CHS, solidifies the continuing struggle of these programs.  No coach will want to battle the odds.  We won’t see another Esau Latham in Clarksville

They would get swept, but all 4 teams would still get a quarter of the 1st round gate; and that’s what they’re really interested in

Sounds Very much like a metro situation. Poor facilities, poor coaching, undisciplined kids, all around bad.

It's simply a school system administration that doesn't care about sports. Never has. 

Athletically, they could be another Murfreesboro if they wanted to. They just don't. Or at least they just don't care to invest what makes that possible. And whatever, that's their prerogative I guess. It costs a lot of money, time, and resources to be good at pretty much anything.

Been saying this for years, the issue is at the very top, sports is just not a priority, the pay for coaches in all sports is among the lowest in the state (at least the last I heard, a few years ago), coincidentally as you mentioned Murfreesboro, Rutherford Co is among the highest paid...

    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better. 
    • That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.
    • RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.
    • You would think they got a bunch of interest
    • You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
