Irishman 30 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Congratulations, coach Wells. Have you seen their facilities? I don't see any small colleges, that compare.Two turf football field, inside practice field, two basketball courts, two weight rooms. Also, Curtis Staples former UVA star, head boys basketball coach. They must pay very good. Lakeway Christian Academy, Morristown, TN FoxTrot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 They are pumping money into sports. I have a friend whose daughter plays soccer there. Facilities are ridiculous. Irishman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah…building quite a resume a little too quickly isn’t the best thing sometimes. I do believe most of these moves are justified fairly easily. Can’t blame him for coming back to his Alma mater. Then a D-1 school offered him a job….can’t blame that. Then that coaching staff was let go. Sooo…,not to hard to see how he got to 5 different schools in 10 years. The main problem is if he still wants to get back into the college ranks….does he bolt next year? Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakeway Christian Academy, Morristown, TN The same group purchased Tri-Cities Christian School in Blountville and are building a new school in the Eastern Star area of Sullivan and Washington Counties they are suppose to build a similar school to Lakeway Really going to put a hurt on Westridge and Daniel Boone in the coming years. Basketball coach at Tri-Cites is Shane Williams (ex Science Hill and UT point guard) they don't have money problems at all. Oh and the school is White Pine, Tn. not any where close to Knoxville. K-town is 50 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwhscoachT 162 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 LCA is in a horrible geographical location right off of the 81/40 switch. For any success, you must poach, Hamblem, Jefferson County, West Greene, Cocke, and Sevier Counties. The problem is that those individuals have and will go the other way for WAY more exposure at Greeneville or Knoxville area schools. Facilities are better than Carson Newman and Tusculum put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
