I have never known about a Clarksburg kid playing at Huntingdon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give you county differences are way different but Carroll County has 4 other teams with football teams . Also , Clarksburg don’t play football with the Mustangs lol . At least Perry County is in the 300s , only 75 more kids and y’all will be in the big 2A Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry county can’t have that. Only one high school. Tiptonville and lake county are on the border of Kentucky and Missouri, they could bring kids in. Linden is literally 30 minutes from anything. Not looking for sympathy, just being real. Kids in Huntingdon could play at McKenzie and McKenzie kids could play at west Carroll. When you’re in the same county kids can go wherever they want. That is not a negative for Perry County. That is a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always heard clarksburg kids play at Huntingdon but that’s hear say. I know that’s what they do in Columbia with Culleoka and Santa Fe and Hampshire. They go to Columbia and Mt pleasant but either way I wasn’t sure. But kids can move around, there are more to choose from then in Perry County.

Each town in Carroll County has its own Special School District. You can't live in the Huntingdon and go to school in McKenzie. It doesn't work that way.

May be because we live in a different county, but both the school and school board said there was no problem as long as he starts school there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s say your son played a season at either school, if y’all dont physically move they sit out 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and because he will only go to Huntingdon, then it shouldn't be an issue if he decides he wants to play football when he gets old enough even though we live in Camden, correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issues are with the system where he attends school. Each system sets their own standards for attendance, zoning, busing, and eligibility. TSSAA only gets involved when their own eligibility rules are broken, and if HSSD says he good to attend while living in Camden, he's good with TSSAA unless he's receiving benefits or has transferred in while having a participation record at another school within the last 12 months.

You must not have been to Lake County before. Going north to Kentucky is all farm land and 20-25 minutes to Fulton, Kentucky. Dyersburg is 30 minutes away and so is Union City. Missouri is 30-40 minutes from the highschool. Lake County sure doesn’t bring kids in. Not counting the prison inmates we are just as small as PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
