Doubt it. They not even the biggest in 4AD2 at the moment. 

The are bigger than most in D2. They came in at 824. Way more than the other teams in their district. They barley made the cutoff for the D2.

Tatum, Beckville, Elysian Fields, Gary, and Carthage.  What other district am I missing?  Tatum and Elysian Fields pull from Harrison County as well.  

When’s the last time a Carthage kid that was decent went to Tatum? Don’t Carthage recruit Beckville hard? Seem to remember hearing something along those lines.

Well maybe I missed something but I was just pointing out what schools are in the county.  My kids could have gone to either Beckville or Carthage.  Carthage, Beckville, and Gary interchange kids all the time.  These are small schools.  Gary doesn't even have football.  Move in's  are almost non existent without some prior connection to the area.  Best jobs in the area are either oil/gas related or at a nearby coal mine.  Global warmers have all but destroyed those.

      So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

      Roger.  I misread your comment. Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.
