Fair enough.

I personally would like to see fewer divisions right now we have 8 state champions. That's crazy. Should be 5 max IMO. 2 private offering scolly and 3 public/private non scolly.

I agree with the latter part of your post....i also think private schools should have their own division... i have no problem with parents putting their kids in private school especially after what the world saw friday. My point was just to say public schools should not have to compete with private schools. I think private school s recruit no matter what anyone says....to many example s in my short life to show for it..at least in west tn that is.

I'd have no problem with it if there were enough private schools playing football. In Chattanooga there would be 5 total small-mid size schools to compete with. 2 more if you add Baylor and McCallie. (4x students and offering financial aid to athletes)
The rest are over 2hrs away.
