High School Football

Hello I'm new and I have heard recent news from the Headmaster that Montgomery Bell Academy is Building a Horseshoe or Full Bowl Stadium. I think it is the step in the right direction for the future High school Football and will have success with the west nashville community.

Hmm....

Sounds good for MBA. I was a graduate of Christian Brothers High School (CBHS) in Memphis decades ago, and MBA was always considered some sort of hated rival.

We played CBHS recently and it was a pretty good game but MBA won

Both have great teams this year though and maybe they'll meet again in the playoffs

Are they planning on building the stadium on the land they own in the Sylvan Park area? I know they have a lacross field and a softball field on that site right now.

They have tree houses left to buy on Brighton which is adjacent to the school and then they will break ground. The fields in Sylvan park are middle school

I knew they had been buying houses on Brighton but I had read in the paper that the neighbors were throwing a big fuss about it and they wasent sure if they were going to be able to continue. Its good to hear they are though, I'm a big fan and supporter of HS football.

they need to build a nursery for mama's boy academy. haha. this is just another way for mba to say they are better than all the other private schools out there. i don't really see it improving high school football in any way. we all know that none of the public schools aren't going to try to compete with this. they can't even get money for books.

Its to my understanding that tax payers pay in a ballpark of 8k per year per metro student. I graduated from a private school that cost around half that and the quality of the teachers in most cases were so much better than public. So maybe they need to take a huge step back and try to figure out exactly where the money goes.

All money for Projects like this would be funded in Donations by loaded people. All the running costs is paid for in the tuition
