Interestingly enough I’ve always felt Morristown and Oak Ridge are definitely NOT Knoxville. While Maryville and Alcoa definitely are.

But Maynardville is right out. Curse that speed trap city.

Morristown maybe, but Oak Ridge? Got to be a part of Knoxville, right?

They did back in the day. The poster before you is wrong imo of Bearden being 2 miles away from Concord. It's much further. In 1981 Farragut incorporated in order to fight off being annexed into the city of Knoxville and I'm not sure where the Farragut city limit lines are and how much of Concord ended up being in Farragut opposed to how much ended up in Knoxville.

Great kid and great family. Glad he is getting some positive press. Mom and Dad were both college athletes, so the kid has some good genetics :).

IMO, one of the better shooters on the team. Now, if he can either bulk up so that he can defend in the post, or get quicker so he can defend on the perimeter, then his minutes should increase.

JMO. TIFWIW.

Impressed by him. I predict All-SEC in 2 years if he puts on 20 pounds.

Of course I said the same thing about Burns, sighhh...

Although neither has grown by annexation recently, Knoxville and Farragut had agreed to use Lovell Road as the future boundary. However the Turkey Creek shopping area might have been set aside as being designated for, or already a part, of Knoxville. Personally I wish that Farragut would grow as far eastward as possible before Knoxville turns into a little San Francisco... but this isn't the Politics Forum, so I'll stop at that. Somebody go create a thread in the PF if you want to fight about that.

Well, all three of my kids were zoned, and went to, BHS. I am in the Concord postal zone, sometimes get mail addressed as Concord, TN. Also, we live in the same subdivision as Drew. So yeah, I guess I'm wrong on that.

Always great to see local players do well for the Vols. Sounds like the 3 freshmen have developed great chemistry with each other already. The culture that Barnes has created here is second to none. We are extremely fortunate.

You said 3 freshmen, and in the video, I remember the question being about "the 3 of you", but there are 4 freshmen (Pember, James, Gaines, Nkamhoua), which I thought was weird. I wondered if Nkamhoua was the odd man out because of how late he came into the picture, or if the interviewer just misspoke.

I'm guessing because the first 3 were Vols for a good while. Nkamhoua was a more recent acquisition. I think those 3 group texted a lot.

They changed the zoning years ago and it is completely messed up now. Basically everything east of Fox road south of Kingston Pike in Concord goes to Bearden now or at least is zoned for Bearden. When I was in HS I was zoned for Farragut but I went to Bearden by choice.

Bearden is in fact within 2 miles of Concord. That is of course unless the post office has been screwing with me for around 5 decades.

There are 2 Concords. The unincorporated town is much farther west than the postal zone. The Pellissippi / Kingston Pike area is Concord per the USPS but it's nowhere near the village that's been in deep west Knox county for a couple hundred years. I think that the town of Concord popped up more than a hundred years ago due to the current N-S rail line that's just north of Concord Park.

You would have to be well-seasoned (translation, old) like me to know the guy. He was unique, to say the least.

I was at UT ‘69-‘74. I never had Dr. Cherry, but I sure heard stories about him. He must have been a real riot!
