i have been truly educated. AWESOME INFO!! My dad went to Meigs HS!!

[GWAVE1]

This is truly some great information guys. How about the location of the State Aggies and Peabody Demonstration clubs back in the 30's. Does anyone have any info when these schools closed ranks?

 

In 1940 Gallatin played Issac Litton at Dudley Field for what was called the Mid-State Title back in those days. The mid-state had a small playoff system that lasted I believe 2 years before the effects of WWII were felt in the local community. Gallatin also played Nashville West at Keyes Stadium in 1941 in front of over 6000 for the Mid-State Title. The teams were chosen by the Licktenhouse Rating system for the playoffs. Gallatin won both games but the 41' game was disputed by Boyce Smith of Springfield.

1. Bellevue....good A team

2. Lipscomb.....did not play football until later

3. Cohn.....AA & AAA power in the 50s but fell to poor in the 60's

4. Joelton very good A team

5. Cumberland...good A team : these 2 fought like dogs

6. Goodlettsville...good AA team

7. West... average AA team

8. Central... average AA team

9. North..poor AA team

You did not ask about Antioch, Litton, East, Madison, Dupont

MBA, Ryan, Donelson, Hume Fogg, Hillsboro, Franklin, Mt Juliet, Hendersonville, TIS or (TPS)

Intergration added Pearl, Cameron, Haynes, and Meigs

 

NEW CONSTRUCTION added Glencliff, Overton, Two Rivers, Stratford, Maplewood, Hillwood, McGavock, Whites Creek......almost added as High Schools were Neely's Bend and McMurry.

 

Brentwood Academy was refused admission because no more out of county schools were to be allowed in...I believe this was the late 60s

 

I think I got them all

[scout]

Dupont was one of the schools that burned.

[coach763]

correct

[scout]

Four schools closed to form McGavock? Let's see. Donelson and Two Rivers became middle schools. Does that count? Also, I think Pearl and Cohn merged. How am I doing?

[Guest cole703]

Donelson, Two Rivers, Cameron, and DuPont helped to form McGavock High School.
