One of the Largest Cities in the State?  I'm not a fan of either team but Cookeville isn't in the top 20 population wise in the state and a little larger than Maryville.  Everyone wants to play for a winning program and it sounds like Upperman has invested in their Football program the same way schools like Oakland, Maryville, Alcoa, Greeneville, Etc. have.

Except for the bleachers st the stadium. Schoolboard needs to address this

Absolutely no relevance. 

Agree with that of city comparisons, but pulling kids from 75,000 Putnam County and competing with decent programs like Monterey and Cookeville. Cookeville is the baby of the schoolboard, just look at the facilities they have. Also competing with other traditional sports like and ones like Lacross and Wrestling. Most 4a schools don't even have those sports.  Macon population is around 28,000. But MCHS is the main show, RBS is the little sister. The gap and pulling power is way more equal than you think on the surface than just looking at county population numbers. From athletes in Westmoreland, Trousdale, Red Boiling, and Hermitage Springs finding thier way to MCHS. The more you win, the more you draw. Always has been, always will be.

I was wrong  cookville is the 24 th biggest city in the state which is big compared to Lafayette isn’t even in the top 100

I understand the point you're trying to make but Population around a smaller town isn't the biggest factor in the success of a program. Greeneville isn't a large place but we have built a winning culture in all sports and the championships in the trophy case across a rang of sports to prove it.  The School and Community fully bought in back in 07 we aren't pulling kids from larger areas around us like Johnson City or Kingsport

Greeneville is the standard in 4A football. Upperman is on a meteoric rise to the top. We will see how it plays out in the coming weeks/months/years.

Upperman Bees will not mercy rule Macon Tigers in this game and Macon Tigers will not mercy rule Upperman Bees. This will be a great game where neither team mercy rules the other team. It will not happen this game. I guarantee it. Watch and see. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

The school board will be taking bids next year to upgrade the stadium. They can't ignore Upperman football any longer. They were probably hoping the Bees would fade into obscurity

Upperman Bees will mercy rule Macon Tigers in this game. Macon Tigers will fold in the second half like every team has against Upperman Bees this year. Watch and see. I am UHSBees931 and I approve this message.

I’m gonna say Macon is reaching their full potential if they win this game against upperman this week due to the limited number of the type athletes it takes to win in 4a. Once again, a testament of the Macon co coaching staff and the toughness and level of football knowledge they have instilled in their kids up there. Macon just doesn’t have the type athletes that live around cookeville and especially Pearl Cohn or possibly Greenville Tn. They just don’t exist up there in Macon co for the most part. Shoulders in my opinion will eventually decide to go somewhere else because he is limited an unable to get the athletes to win a state championship in 4a and up at Macon co. Even in 3a you have alcoa until they decide to move up and they could beat anyone in 4a potentially right now because they have the right athletes.

Upperman Bees are a good team and so is Macon Tigers. Upperman Bees will win, but Macon Tigers will not get mercy ruled in this game. It will not happen. I guarantee it. Watch and see. Macon Tigers are too good to let it happen. I am your Captain Guru and I approve this message.
