The Commercial Appeal is reporting that MLK Prep is closing at the end of the school year.  Its returning students will transfer to Trezevant for the 2024-2025 school year.

Students will transfer to Trezevant. Students who are good at football will transfer to MASE.

MASE is a charter. They can accept kids from any where. 

And that needs to go, Charter ,private ,magnet,city and any school that operates differently than pure public schools should be separated. What really needs to be done is address urban and rural. About all the usual powers have access to several kids from other schools period.

Communism? Got it.

For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there. 
On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages! 

An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!
 

I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets!

    • Ooltewah will be about in the same spot as McMinn Central if they hire JT, about 3-7 if they are both lucky. 
    • I hope Auden Slaughter wins 1A, IDK much about 2A, 4A I hope Christian Brown gets it as he has been dominant this season, but it wouldn't shock me if it went to Butler out of Whitehaven. A lot of times they will give the nods to the best player on the best team. Hence why Capps or Thompson didn't win 3A last year. So Butler winning it wouldn't shock me. I hope Jayden jones out of goodpasture wins D2 1A. I would love to see Cam Blivens win D2 2A, but I think Fred Smith will win since he is on the best team of the 3 options (Both are great options though).   Many really deserving athletes!
    • Nobody wants to finish 3rd. May not want to finish 2nd in York's Region either. East Nashville is a good team. 
    • Everyone please welcome Nick Saban to the thread! I'm sure ChattFootball25 is God's gift to the gridiron. Sounds like sour grapes to me! I hope the Owls can break the 2-win threshold this season...
    • Just watched some film on white co girls. they have all the pieces if they put them together at the right time.
