Memphis East vs Southwind AAA State Title Game #AllMemphisFinal

[kwc]

They could amend or suspend the by-laws in an emergency meeting this week if they wanted to help. There are ways around everything.

Not going to happen. East made their plea. The board made their decision, Childress handed down the decision. No need for an emergency anything. This isn't life or death, or a safety or health issue. Where is the urgency? Tournaments come. Tournaments go.

 

Change the by-laws to accommodate this kind of thing at the appropriate time. Not because school A wants to go to a tournament.

The All AAA tournament team is 3 guys from Southwind, (Carlos, Mark, ?) and 4 guys from East, (Chandler. Malcom, TJ, & Alex). Did they assign anybody else to the All tournament team?

Higgins and Young from Oak Ridge and Murphy from Independence

Thanks. I thought there were some OR players on there. Murphy makes sense as well. Now, THAT is a TEAM!

Oh I know. I'm just addressing all these folk throwin' shade in Childress diresction. The Team did their thing. I'm in total agreement.

Go East

Memphis East was very impressive. Alex Lomax is really good but the best player on that team is Chandler Lawson. Lawson is a stud.

I agree with your logic, but think that it's selfish and stupid not to allow these two teams to promote Tennessee basketball and Tennessee kids to the nation. Your point is "why the urgency to change the rules now?", and my point is why is there such a rule to begin with. Governing bodies shouldn't be reactive, they should be proactive, and I agree that this would be a reactive decision. If there's no valid reason to prevent teams from participating in after season tournaments (I've not heard one), they should set a limit on time and number of events, and let them play. Looks an awful lot like they (TSSAA) have nothing to gain from it , so they are indifferent.
