Not a peep from the private schools west of Chattanooga when Nashville and Memphis teams claimed 17 consecutive football state titles in DII-AAA, including a nine-year stretch in which the gold ball trophy stayed within a 10-mile radius between Brentwood Academy, Ensworth and MBA.
Did CPA officials write any op-eds about competitive imbalance when the Lions played for 10 championships in 12 years (winning titles in 2 separate classes)? Crickets. CPA's 2024 title team had a roster that included six players ranked among the state's top 100 prospects according to 247Sports, three of which went on to sign with SEC programs. By comparison, in that same season, Baylor had four players in the state's top 100 and McCallie had three. Also, among DII-AAA teams with graduates currently playing in the SEC, the totals are: MBA 5, Lipscomb Academy 5, CPA 4, Ensworth 3, Baylor 2, McCallie 2.
Such numbers do not produce a convincing argument for talent inequity.
Also lost in the pearl clutching is the fact that all TSSAA member schools can now have student-athletes transfer to any team they choose, and even live with host families, a rule which essentially operates the same as boarding programs.
The process of vetting prospective transfers is not as difficult as some schools have made it seem. It simply requires a commitment to ensuring talented out-of-town athletes will be a good fit academically and socially, as well as helping the football program remain an important passage to the admissions office.
That would seem to be an important job for schools that are accustomed to competing for elite enrollees of all walks.

The job of a coach.

“My job is to always be opposite at the moment.”

Calm when chaos comes.
Confident when doubt creeps in.
Demanding when standards slip.
Encouraging when confidence drops.
Patient when frustration grows.

Give your team what the moment needs.

Its hard to explain that feeling of waking up sore from your HS football game the night before, coming downstairs to the living room hearing college game day in the background and the smell of fresh pancakes being made.

Knowing for the entire day you have nothing planned but sitting in front of that TV, watching football, and feeding yourself whatever your mom decides to cook up that day.

If you didn’t live it, it’s hard to explain!

Women’s sports “journalists” @TheAthletic are ripping an actual female athlete finishing fifth in the nation in college swimming to defend a man pretending to be a woman who finished first and stole an NCAA title from women. Women like this are in a cult and don’t see it.

Since 2002, the @SportsChatt has highlighted the top 12 college football prospects among Chattanooga-area seniors with its preseason Dynamite Dozen. The countdown of this year's list begins today:
For everyone within earshot of @MCWarriors1's beloved tractor whistle, @ZaidenH40542's remarkable prep football chapter is approaching a too-soon conclusion. For those who cringe at the blaring blast of that infamous whistle, Humphrey's time in purple and white has felt like an eternity: https://t.co/Q1ohAfqXjj
