central is in that part of harrison that has nothing around it but harrison bay. i know alot of people that live out that way that say they live in Ooltewah. I really live in mcdonald but noone from chattanooga knows about the small town about 5 minutes out of O town so i say im from Ooltewah alot of people do that.

I love driving from cleveland to ooltewah and seeing some of the mcdonald area. Im from east ridge but live in harrison now. My wife went to central and i thought it was weird that some of her friends were technically from ooltewah but went to central. Evidently when her dad went to central they were big rivals with ooltewah.

Ya mcdonald is a cool little 2 store town and the owner of the quick stop is a good guy.

And i ya i remember someone telling me central was a power house at one time. Their stands on the home side hold about the same as Ooltewahs but the guest side doesnt come close. Now days everyone that goes to central wishs they could go to Ooltewah.

In fact, he is the first Super 11 selection from Tennessee … or any state other than Georgia. He plays at Ridgeland High in the hills of Walker County, about a 40-minute commute from his family’s home in Ooltewah, Tenn., a little town outside of Chattanooga.

“I feel like a Georgia boy somewhat after going to battle with my Georgia team every Friday night,’’ Bell said. “It feels like home. My coaches welcomed me with open arms.’’

Living outside school-district lines is common for Georgia athletes. Living in another state is not.

Bell’s mother, Vanessa, has worked as a special education inclusion instructor at Ridgeland for four years. Like many school systems, Walker County allows the children of faculty to enroll in its schools regardless of address. The Georgia High School Association normally requires for transfer students to move into the school district to be eligible for sports, but it makes exceptions if the legal guardian is a teacher, coach or counselor at the school.

The move was Vanessa Bell’s idea. She was concerned that Vonn’s former school, Chattanooga Central, was changing head coaches for the third time in three seasons. And she also thought Georgia football was stronger.

Bama friend tells me there has been talk that saban has recently started pushing hard for bell.

With that being said it will be surprising if he doesn't end up a vol

UT has plenty of players in the NFL. Many with a higher profile than bama's.

And this current UT staff will add to that here very very soon.

It is not so much the having a ride to school, it is because his mom works at Ridgeland high school.

This is an actual loophole. I live in Tennessee but went to elementary school in Georgia because my mom worked there.

I asked a simple question, shake your head elsewhere. Thanks to the guy above you for giving a response without getting his panties in a bunch about it.

I had a chance encounter with his coach a month ago. Course i had to ask about Vonn. Later in the conversation I ask who the better ball player was Vonn or the Bowman brothers .Mike plays at Alabama ,Devron at UGA. He smiled and said its not even close. This guy has several D1 sec type players on his team every year.He said Vonn was the best football player he has ever coached. Vol soon.

No nothing about Devron but Mike Bowman is no longer on the UA team. He saw action against Kent State last year but that was it. He could not stay out of the doghouse while at UA. Also barely got in and did not arrive until the end of summer his freshman year.

Vonn Bell has a top seven, but Tennessee might be emerging as the favorite according to Rivals.com's Kynon Codrington.

Yes Saban is making a strong push and it looks like we may try and take 2 S in this class. Seems that we are going after 3 with only 1 right now a good chance of landing. It is great we made Bell's top 3 but are 3rd behind UT and OSU.
