Oneida visits Eagleton Academy Thursday Night for Royals first home game.

Oneida actually has started capping some. They have an application you have to fill out if you live outside the school district and if they don’t accept you then you don’t go there.

Thank you for that information. Hope they can keep those kids there and build a winning program.

I’d rather they get picked apart and not build anything but I’m just being selfish.

Capping enrollment will be tough in a public school. We'll see how it all plays out, but I see a very dominating Blount County team in 2A. Do you think that's the way the school board drew it up? Gold Balls in 2A, 3A and 6A?

Aren’t they a “magnet” style academy? If so don’t they have some options on enrollment. Honest question as I’m not sure.

Not sure that’ll hold up. Oneida is partially funded by the county government so don’t think that’ll fly long.

Trying to stay anonymous fellas. Sat on the visitors side. Had to leave early @cornponegot sick from all that chicken he ate. It wasn’t pretty but we got the W. Actually got to go into the locker room at the half and it was one of the nicest dressing rooms I have seen. Very nice place.

Why stay anonymous? I’ve never understood why folks are afraid to reveal who they are. Wait a minute. . . Are you, Batman?!?!

Right is that sort of the STEM model? I know some of those in Knoxville cap their enrollment.

I only know of 1 STEM academy in KTown. Not sure of any of the Knox County Schools limiting enrollment, but I would love to hear your take on that. Public only, of course

I’m being honest I’m not well informed on how the magnet / STEM situation works. I’m only going on what I have been told by the city slickers at work. I was told they were able tI limit enrollment under the banner of limited facilities but not sure how accurate my sources are I will admit.

The QB has a brother that was the startin QB for the red and black last year. So you can read in between the lines what’s gonna happen there. 

Zero chance. He would be 5th string. He was really inaccurate. Decent runner but terrible passing. He didn’t even look good in warmups
