Shannon has been very average for several years.

According to Scorestream Ruston beat Oxford 28-7

Water Valley defeated Northpoint Christian (formerly SBEC) last night 76-49. Although Northpoint is located in Southaven, Mississippi, they have competed in the Tennessee association since 1998.Through the first four games of this season Northpoint is averaging 51.5 points scored per game... and they're 1-3.

I bet Bishop Sycamore is looking for a game

I'll save the "actual proof" request when you all concur that all you have is conjecture and rumors.

Bingo

Either you have no proof and have only hearsay... just sayin'.

Did they quit because they had to compete for their positions? Weak sauce.

Provide actual proof is all I'm asking.

All Parochial schools offer lower tuition for practicing Catholics; however, some families pay nothing or next-to-nothing, Catholic or not, and it doesn't have anything to do with athleticism. The rumors I refer to is about GCS. No one has any proof - just whispers.

... also untrue. Non-Catholics are subsidized as well. Some pay no tuition at all, and not necessarily athletes, either. Basically the truth is that there a rumors of this or that and no one has proof - just talking off the tops of their head and repeating the rumors. Prove me wrong.
