Willaimson County

[FHSrebel27]

Allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment...

 

Franklin- do they really belong? Sure, they had a great year last year and this year is looking bright so far. But does making it to the quarterfinals one year automatically mean you belong?

 

Of course they do.

 

And of course Centennial does as well. As I've said before, if you make the playoffs out of region 6-5A, you belong. We might even see them win that playoff game this year.

 

This thread is silly. This is about a Page person having some issues with Centennial, mainly Coach Gregory. He has his moments but he also has done more with the Cougar program than anyone else. Centennial belongs, period.

Is sportsguy really Coach Gregory????????? Most of the people who post on here about our county have opinions which are to some extent open-minded. But this sportsguy really has a burr under his saddle about Page. Hey sportsguy...I know Page finished this last game big time.....where is your open mind on that one?? Unless you are Gregory and some think you are...you don't know squat about scheduling and balancing region games. This was discussed in a prior thread in regard to BGA.

If they are redrawing the lines for Franklin and Williamson County I can honestly say that the best athletes do live in and around Natchez Street area. When I coached in Williamson County those athletes were the best! Unless things have changed, you will see the Board looking closely at dividing those kids up between the schools! Wherever those kids go, you will see winning football programs, if the other factors are in place!

Thanks for the clarification, cowboys. I guess I do see your point in a way. I think truly coming into their own and being established within the region will come when they knock off one of the neighborhood rivals. At the same time, all three schools respect each other and take the game very seriously, so that would allude to them not feeling like they're that much better than one another. I suppose its how you view it.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yes, that's why he was at the Franklin-Oakland game when Centennial was playing Pearl. sportsguy1976 is not Coach Gregory, I assure you of that. And no, he does know more than you think.

Boneal... how well do you think those Thompson Station and North Spring Hill kids will do at the new high school (football) and will any of those kids from inside the city of Franklin be zoned to the new school?

[FHSrebel27]

One of the plans is for all the kids in the city of Franklin to go to Centennial... yes, all of them. That includes those that live right next to Franklin. Grrrr. But no, I don't think any of the plans having any kids in the city limits going to Independence.

Rebels- I give that your region is a tough region as far as the top 3-4. Clarksville weak, Kenwood a laugher, Henry another laugher. Now come on the top four every year will be Brentwood, Franklin, Dickson, Centennial. No particular order. So finishing 4th is no great achievement. Now for Centennial to finish in the top 3 that would be an achievement. Your region is good because of the toop 4 teams not top to bottom. Just like Page's region. They have 4 good teams. Creek Wood, Giles, and Montgomery are not powers. So don't use the BS that if they can finish in top 4 of this region then yes they belong. That doesn't wash!!! Those bottom 3 teams don't belong in 5A at this point.

I disagree strongly. Clarksville, Henry County, Kenwood- they're having down years. All schools go through that. You also left out Ravenwood which is a big mistake. They've got a great QB that will lead them to great things. It's not BS. Again, Centennial is good, period. They belong, period.

ELA, I think that if Independence gets the majority of the kids from Herritage, then they'll be fine. They've got a pretty darn good middle school program going, with some big ole boys out there.
