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.

    • are you suggesting that if the football coach runs spring drills then the kids won't play fall ball without supervision?  Because if not, this argument has no relevance.  One doesn't take the place of the other.  one the AD has control of, the other he just tries to.  
    • I don't think it is overly hyped.. I am seeing less and less multi-sport kids when it can all be prevented.. A coach teaches l loyalty, work ethic, comradery, integrity, perseverance, etc.. to get kids to buy into their program. They talk about brotherhood and doing what is best for their community.... But some mean all of this  just for football... Kids see into this double standard and will quit.. either while on the field or off...  drives me crazy!!  and again... I work with these kids.. they tell me what they think.. so you can agree or disagree.. its their point of view!!
    • Hmm..... I tend to disagree. I was a multi sport athlete in High School and am now a coach. Kid is not going to be a very good hitter if he only hits in the spring and summer, I took BP and threw (to keep my arm in shape) during football and basketball season. Kid is not going to be a very good QB, WR or DB if he only throws passes, runs routes or covers receivers in the fall or during a few 7 on 7 games after baseball is over. And a kid is never going to be good shooter of the basketball if he only shoots during the basketball season. Skills are honed, not mastered, they need to be developed and practiced repeatedly.
    • and I'll concede that this is more realistic.  but a good AD can make football the primary focus without messing with the success of other sports.
