ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

*** TIME TO PART 

TSSAA WILL VOTE IN JULY TO DETERMINE IF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WILL PLAY IN POST-SEASON COMPETITION . 

RIGHT NOW ABOUT 25 PRIVATE SCHOOLS COMPETE FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP .

THIS SHOULD NOT BE . 

PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE DIFFERENT ANIMALS AND SHOULD BE CLASSED APART AT PLAYOFF TIME .

PLAY WHOEVER YOU WISH IN THE REGULAR SEASON BUT PLAY YOUR OWN KIND IN THE POST-SEASON .

THE PUBLICS AND PRIVATES ARE JUST TOO DIFFERENT TO EVER HAVE A LEVEL FIELD . 

HOW MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS WOULD MILAN HAVE WON IF NOT FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS PLAYING IN THE PUBLIC LEAGUE ?

***  STARTED WITH ADAM & EVE 

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS RECRUIT PLAYERS . 

THE FIRST CASE OF RECRUITMENT WAS SATAN REELING IN ADAM & EVE IN THE GARDEN . 

EVERY SINCE HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN PLAYING THERE HAS BEEN RECRUITING . 

TOWNS WITH LARGE EMPLOYERS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GIVE PARENTS JOBS TO BRING KIDS INTO THIER SCHOOL DISTRICT .

SOMETIMES MINSTERS HAVE BEEN CALLED TO AREA CHURCHES BECAUSE THE SON WAS A PLAYER . EX - STEVE SPURRIOR .

SOMEPLACES A WEALTHY BOOSTER PROVIDES PLAYERS , FACILITES , & EVERYTHING ELSE . EX - BOLTON HIGH SCHOOL .

ON & ON 

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THIS . I THINK A PERSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO ATTEND ANY SCHOOL THEY WISH . 

IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL WANTS TO LET A PLAYER ATTEND FREE OF CHARGE , THAT IS FINE WITH ME . 

IF A PRIVATE SCHOOL CAN CONVINCE PAYING PARENTS  THAT THIER KIDS WILL SIT WHILE THE RECRUITS PLAY , MORE POWER TO THEM 

SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO HAVE THE PROGRAMS THEY WANT . 

IF A TOWN WANTS TO BE A POWERHOUSE IN FOOTBALL AND IS WILLING TO COMMIT THE RESOURCES  TO DO SO - GO FOR IT .

SCHOOLS WILL CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR . 

LET PEOPLE CHOOSE SCHOOLS THAT EMPHASIZE  THE THINGS THE PEOPLE WANT .WHETER IT BE ,   ACADEMICS , ARTS , OR ATHLETICS 

OPEN ENROLLMENT CAN SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

IT WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST  TO SEE THE TSSAA   DECISION .

SEE YOU NEXT TIME
