Agreed HTV.  Lots of respect for Coach Courtney.  Would never question his integrity.  He says, "I don't like it."  And I know he's talking about coaches/players doing 'under-handed stuff'.  But I bet he "did like" having William Blount's best player transfer in to his team for his senior season last year.

Yep.  Eddie is good people, a guy I always enjoy talking to.  

But we are going to disagree on this one.  Farragut has had a lot of good athlete transfers come in over the years, and not just in football.

A lot of the transfer train at Farragut got started when Ken Sparks was the HC at Farragut. It continued with Buddy Fisher and Dan Bland was in there as HC somewhere. So when Coach Courtney took over as the HFBC the transfer system had already been established. I think Coach Courtney worked all the way back for Sparks but maybe not. I know he was an assistant coach for Coach Fisher. Not sure about if he worked for Bland. Farragut has lived on transfers for decades, and just ones moving into the zone.
