In this episode of The GreeneScene Podcast, hosts Shelly Brown and Bret Moore sit down with Scot Moore (Associate Athletic Director at Jefferson-Morgan) and Bill Simms (Athletic Director at West Greene) for a candid discussion about the current state of high school athletics in Greene County.

The conversation tackles hot-button topics like school consolidation, the growing need for sport co-ops, and the misconceptions surrounding them. Scot and Bill shed light on the PIAA’s rules, school classifications, and how reclassification can both help and hurt small school programs. They also discuss Jefferson-Morgan’s recent move from Class A to AA in softball, the controversial "mercy rule," and whether schools should be allowed to play down to save struggling programs.

This episode offers a real look at the challenges facing rural sports programs, and the teamwork required to keep them alive.
