This week on High School Sports Saturday, host Tate Mathews dives deep into the shifting landscape of Tennessee athletics with three heavy-hitting segments.

First, the Blackman Blaze just got a major upgrade as Coach Will Hester officially takes the reins at Blackman High School. Coach Hester shares his blueprint for building a elite staff, evaluating local talent, and restoring that signature championship energy to Rutherford County.

Next, we hit the hardwood with the Page Lady Patriots. Coach Randy Coffman joins the show to recap a massive road victory over Coffee County. He breaks down how his deep, unselfish roster is overcoming mid-season injuries by leaning on incredible bench strength and a "pure" style of team basketball. Get an inside look at why this squad is one of the toughest programs in the state as they gear up for a postseason run.

Finally, we tackle the "elephant in the room" with Tom Kreager. Following the latest TSSAA Board of Control meeting, the guys break down the explosive spike in student-athlete transfers and the impact of new NIL rules. From the recruiting code in Memphis to coaches being forced to "recruit their own hallways" just to keep a roster together, we ask the tough question: Is the system spinning out of control?
