  1. The Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision was announced on May 17, 1954. In my preliminary research it appears that the 1966-1967 Alcoa Tornadoes, Coached by the late Vernon Osborne "Coach O", were the first integrated team to win a state championship in basketball. This was back in the days of a single tournament for all teams. During the 1965-1966 season the all black Pearl High School team out of Nashville, won the state championship. In all previous years, the teams were all white. 1967 Alcoa integrated 1966 Pearl all black 1965 Murfreesboro all white 1964 Donelson all white 1963 Oak Ridge all white 1962 Bradley Central all white 1961 Oak Ridge all white 1960 Hampton all white 1959 Alcoa all white 1958 Lenoir City all white 1957 Linden all white 1956 Linden all white 1955 Linden all white http://tssaasports.com/history/results/?sport=basketball-boys

  4. The 2nd part of this proposed rule is asinine! TSSAA has lost their everloving mind. Anyone who would agree or support punishing a student athlete for an adult's actions needs their head examined. To me that is borderline child abuse. Why should the kid be punished for someone else's actions or a referee with issues. If life were to imitate art, in the fictional movie "Hoosiers" where Shooter (alcoholic Dad) was ejected TSSAA feels it would be appropriate action to punish his son (good kid) as well. I strongly question whose interests are best being served by our great TSSAA. It sure isn't the student athlete! I guarantee you most school administrators do not support this and if they do they should be fired! The student athlete in this day and time are often used as pawns in the adults' childish games of self promotion & power.

  5. Someone could pay some people to dress up in <INSERT BIG RIVAL'S NAME HERE> colors with custom made T-shirts with certain players numbers on them. They could go to the game the week before the rival game and act a fool! TSSAA needs to think about this one.
