Times of tragedy and loss are frightening and difficult. I pray the Lord touches the victims, their families, the rescue and medical workers, and their community and allows them to have comfort and to strengthen their faith. Just know your brothers in Christ are praying for and mourning with you in this tragic time. Psalms 34:18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. John 14:24 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

What's all this garbage supposed to mean??? Demands for an apology when even the guy himself says that it may be false, race cards being thrown about, speculations about self imposed penalties and TSSAA probationary periods into future seasons... for what??? Here's what I already know to be the truth... Coach gets fired for poor performance, throws out the race card in the media, and rails against the entire system for being underhanded and him being the "victim". New coach hired with high expectations and much fanfare, but with a small segment still loyal to the former coach, and unhappy with the hire. Team gets transfers, plays well, and is on the brink of being the favorite to go to Cookeville. Allegations are made against the program, and TSSAA investigates. Also a trio of new accounts show up here throwing around rumors and claiming to have heard this junk "on the streets". Now for what I think... Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the most likely scenario is here, but the great thing is, all everyone has to do is wait and see if Coach Diffee, the Milan administration, or the kids' guardian's have been untruthful.

Time to set aside football for a bit and get in our bibles and do some old school praying. Got some folks hurting bad right now, need to pray ‘em up. I got some sure enough prayer warriors as I’m sure you do as well. Time to make a few calls and get them to work.

Per my sources, Milan is self-imposing penalties for rules violations and hoping the TSSAA doesn’t levy more. The school is docking itself eight football scholarships over a two-year period and reducing recruiting visits, evaluations and communication after a nearly two-month investigation. More to come.

Not possible Milan would have known right away they weren’t eligible

A team has Covid and instead of a well I hope they all get better and good luck in the playoffs if you get to play.THIS is your response!VERY TYPICAL.I guess they will be cowards now also.Good gosh.I bet every kid on that team would just about cut a finger off to get to play all their games.You need to learn a little humility and you would think you already have from the past few years.

I would say rather than bickering is to pray for the 98% that played by the rules . These kids worked their butt off to get to this moment and potentially could be snatched from them. They are not rule breakers 2020 has been a heckuva year for them with “ Everything” and just to think that it could be snatched from them just like that . I stand with these guys

I highly doubt FC would impose any extra on themselves. They don't sound like the type of program or school that would hold themselves accountable

Great minds think alike! This year shapes up VERY favorably for Henry County and not many people have caught on to that. Of course our coaches and players learned a valuable lesson last year and I dont see that same scenario happening again this year. If we take care of business 2nd and 3rd round (which we should) there SHOULD be a semifinal game in Henry County and you have got to like the odds of having the chance of winning that game whoever it is. Any way I'm just throwing out there what I see happening. With the way we have been playing lately I think we have potential to shock a lot of people and possibly make it to Cookeville THIS YEAR! You heard it from me right here right now!!!

Don’t have a dog in this fight I’m from Middle TN. Just curious tho, what’s you stake in all this? Seems like you know an awful lot? Btw welcome to the T, since you joined yesterday.

Yup, thus. The shutdown is precautionary and the F5 Tornadoes will touchdown in Kingsport Thursday Night!

Praying. Let’s all pray initial reports of the bus driver and one student has died is wrong. I couldn’t imagine

Just reading thru comments and some of y’all are so SAD. Just take y’all’s L and keep it moving.

What do I need to apologize for??

I have done a lot of filming, you have to cut in between plays. Not cutting and having to do that after a game would be a nightmare. I was taught in college to start rolling if something like this happened but it’s totally reasonable to miss a fight that happens after a play

It doesn’t matter who gave up the Info. Wrong is wrong. Like I said last night I feel for the homegrown Milan kids that might be punished. The adults are to be blamed. Coaches. Administrators. Handlers Never thought high school football would turn out like AAU basketball. But several Milan people on this board said Milan would do whatever to get back to the glory days. Coach Morris won on homegrown talent and hard work. That’s what is wrong with society everywhere. No one wants to work hard. Looking for shortcuts.

Wrong. I will not say who turned in the complaint but I will promise you it was NOT south Gibson.

Good lord 2020 has taken effect on some of the coacht posters

On his first, he had a receiver on the 10 but the ball went out about the 30. On the second one it was even worse than that. But he didn't do it again. haha Probably won't the rest of the year either. I'd like to see him just tuck it and run, he usually does pretty well at running the ball. Mitchell is pretty fast if he gets loose. WILDCAT PRIDE ROLL WILDCATS ROLL

Actually I was thinking the samething. Who would benefit the most. It’s never the first team mentioned it’s always the one in the shadows

You left out the part about Peabody smacking Milan in the mouth again. That's my favorite!

Luckily the boy we have playing qb has some experience playing qb back when he was in middle school, if he can get in a groove he will be able to make some plays in the passing game for us. He was one of our top receivers so he has some wheels when in open space.

Prayers from Cornersville. 2020 been a year I’m ready to forget.

You know adamsville has good coaches. I guessing they are watching the obion and Union city tapes and will try to replicate that and they may give mckenzie a hard time.

It's just words dude. The less you agree with someone's opinion, the less you have to care what they think or say. Until someone attacks someone needlessly (not talking about you necessarily), spreads false information, or intentionally baits someone into an argument, I personally couldn't care less what some random people post on here...

Im with you on him running.Hopefully he will run and go all out for playoffs.Not just when nobody is open but he needs to read the defense on rpo plays and run more

Boxing match? If we can't watch Dawg football we need some entertainment.

There is no news besides hearsay and rumors. You people are sick. Y’all keep saying I’m Greg Scott. I am a parent of 2 homegrown Bulldogs. Started playing for Milan when they were 8 years old. The clown world we are currently living in where anyone can start rumors and engineer a smear campaign with zero proof (but with plenty of anonymous sources) has arrived in our small part of the world. Such a shame bc football used to be an escape from that insane world where you are now guilty of anything any disgruntled fan/team/former coach throws out there until you are able to prove you are innocent. Facts no longer matter. This is the price of success in today’s world. Now no matter what comes of this you have totally placed a cloud over this team...based on hearsay and anonymous sources. I hope you are all happy. YOU people are the ones hurting the kids that have done nothing wrong.

UMMMMMMMMMMMM................................................................................where are the clowns from yesterday??!?!?!?!?! I didnt say they were gonna be ineligible. All i said was there was an investigation........ Im not gonna say i told you so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIGPURPLEMACHINE.......where's your cow gif now??????????

Jeff Ireland (Area journalist who was written for The Commercial Appeal and The Daily News. Currently sports editor of The Leader.) @jeffireland47 "Multiple sources have told me @tssaa is looking into the the possible ineligibility of two Milan football players. If players are found ineligible, Milan would go from 8-1 to 0-9 and the Region 7-3A playoff picture would change dramatically." @covingtonleader @covingtonfball

Just my observation. Got friends on both sides of this one. Still some hard feelings both ways there.

Warren Co is showing yearly improvements, and I can respect the direction they are heading. But let's be real, Oakland rolls big here.

Think West Carroll & Lake County battle it out in region seven. But like we all know things can happen. Greenfield beat Dresden in OT, Dresden beat West Carroll in OT and LC did just enough to beat everyone except Covid (Greenfield).

Lol big Karen. Shout out to Rob Dyrdek Wonder how many games cancelled are when a team has to travel, asking for a friend.

These polls are garbage if you have a 2 loss Central team in front of Powell

Beech and Summit I’m sure. Don’t sleep on Shelbyville and that running game.

Nah. Apparently verbally recruiting kids when the games were over while on the field.

Go back and read the musings from July and August and tell us who was correct. Remember the death and devastation predictions from your side? Has a single TN high school football player been hospitalized with Covid complications? How did your long term cardiac concerns pan out? Anyone who made the case that it was too dangerous to play high school football this fall has to feel foolish so far. So far the only Covid effects are from contact tracing players who aren't sick.

That offense with Burke under center would have been scary good. Kid is a playmaker.

This just got serious lol

Not sure enrollment is way to classify schools anymore. School populations have changed so much since classification started. This has been the way since 1960's for sure. Sadly, I have no idea how it can be done anymore. I do know size of school is no indication of athletic participation or athletes in the school. So many intangibles these days.

You really need to go to a game there. Especially when there is no cloud cover.

This will stay close for a half until depth takes over. These teams were neck and neck for a half last season. I hope WC can get a win in the playoffs. heckuva season for them

If kids are healthy they should play! Contact tracing is just a means to control people. Sick of all this stupidity.

Yeah because.........Russia Russia Russia. Odd how all these "lies" coming out of Trumps mouth keep coming true. You go ahead and vote for the "China Doll" Mr. Antifa.

2A

I would quit drinking before I posted.

Cant wait to see the boys play this week! I Haven't seen the game and almost 6 weeks.

In 3A it should be Grey Carroll of Alcoa. Kid is a monster.
