have you heard this from Ronnie Carter?

[bill#73]

have come out of 5 counties."

 

My question is

 

What is the percentage out of that 70% is private compared with public?

[FHSrebel27]

Williamson and what other four?

[topkak]

Is this 70% all time ? well , if thats the case , ALL TIME championships by county :

1. Williamson ( brentwod Academy , Brentwood .etc. )

2. Rutherford ( murfreesboro central in the 50s,60s, rivedale, oakland)

3. Davidson ( private schools rule plus pearl cohn , hilsboro , etc )

4. Shelby ( memphis schools )

5. Bradley ( clevelands run , bradley high in the 60s and 70s )

6. Oak Ridge ( dont know the county , is it anderson )

 

*** any other thoughts ***

Blount County

 

Alcoa 5

Maryville 7

[Budrock]

Wouldn't Blount County be in the mix? Alcoa has 5 championships and Maryville has several. Walland also had at least one before it was consolidated into Heritage. Very interesting subject.

[BDURHAM]

Shelby

 

Davidson

 

Williamson

 

Hamilton

I would bet that they are all metro counties or right next to a metro county. Which brings up an interesting thought...perhaps it really is a metro vs nonmetro issue?

[silverpie]

Looking at all sports, there is a tremendous dominance by six counties--the big four plus two of Nashville's neighbors (Williamson and Rutherford). And seventh on the list is a county with the sometimes largest high school in the state (Bradley Central).

[Dalton91]

Wouldn't these six or seven metro counties also make up close to 70% of the state's population? if so, then wouldn't also make sense they would win 70% of the championships? In 1A there are few, if any, metro public schools. Do metro public schools have an advantage over rural publics in 3A and up? If so, then shouldn't a multiplier apply to ALL urban schools and not just the privates?

...and there is also the issue of how many of these are from a combined city AND county school district, not just county.

[silverpie]

Of the "big six" counties, four have single school systems. Williamson has a "special district" which is like a city district for Franklin, but only at K-8 level. In Shelby, there's the Memphis City system and the county system, both of which contribute to the total.
