Why not allow the citizens of the great State of Tennessee to make their own decisions regarding the attendance of sporting events, concerts, church, etc...? I am personally tired of most government officials wanting to make the decision as to what is best for me and my family. The only good thing that could come out of high school football being shut down for the 2020-21 season is the T$$AA would have to be disband due to the fact they would not be able to pay their debts.

Schools (some) are already determining their own guidelines. Trenton Peabody, Union City, and Milan have been practicing for weeks already, and because TSSAA deferred the authority to "local policy", they're completely justified in doing so. Other local schools however, cannot conduct any team sports related activities, and would face penalties if they did so. TSSAA has an obligation to it's member schools to coordinate sports related activities (Article1 - Section 3), and has blatantly refused to do so for fear of liability. Consider the school closing date, consult Dept. of Health, Set the parameters (dead period/helmet/full pads/ect…), set the season, and THEN the schools have the choice whether or not to allow practice with some idea of what everyone else is able/not able to do. Member schools pay a fee to TSSAA for just such a service, not to disappear when nobody knows what to do.

You are both right and wrong. TSSAA needs to set parameters that not be exceeded, then allow each school/system to evaluate their own situation. Restraining any or all systems from team related activities isn't the answer, nor is taking the cowards way out (that they took) and deferring their liability to the local authorities. This is just my opinion, but I believe that the vast majority of the public is sick of following mandates and hiding from the proverbial "boogeyman" that isn't nearly what was depicted. CV-19 is real... from that point of general agreement, what we've been told to what has actually transpired is a wide chasm apart, and if the current situation of hundreds of thousands of protesters in clusters across the nation doesn't result in an unparalleled outbreak of cases, then there was never a reason for all the mandates in the first place. Back on topic... barring the last sentence in the above paragraph becoming reality, there will be school, and there will be football.

Assuming all the citizens agree. Good luck with that.

Actually there were more football booster clubs created when Gaddis came here. Started to win and got people excited about the program, no doubt Haney has a lot to do with since he is football minded.

I would have loved to see how the Road Runners would have done on the other side of the state the past 4yrs i think a couple times it would have been Tornadoes vs Road Runners for it all

Yep that’s true!! I feel like all will have to travel to either Covington or Milan this year for semifinal!

T$$AA will encourage Football at least as it makes up over 80% of its budget. Either the $$$$$ flows in or everybody at T$$AA has to get a REAL JOB!

Westview be like.....

I love topics like this lol. I’m glad ours is unique and one of a kind.

Stone Memorial is Crossville needs assistant coach. Good program.
