At least he didn't do it after the 1st game of the season. Wait, did he sign y'all up to play Oakland?

My thoughts go out to the South Pittsburg community. Nobody should have to go through what y'all are going through. Hope the kid who survived pulls through.

Thank you… Great News! Continued prayers from Watertown!

Prayers from out Meigs way. I'm sorry for the loss of life you have sustained in your community. May God comfort those involved.

Terrible to hear. Prayers from Carroll County

Many prayers from McKenzie Rebel country. Football is a speck of sand in the grand scheme of things.

Praying for your community. Very sad news.

Prayers for the families and the community from Gordonsville !!

Powell resident supporter is not exactly an accurate descriptor. I haven't been to an athletic event at Powell in 5 years. And I say that it was a real fiasco. I don't know who is right and who it wrong, but when the Bearden coach signed the pitch statement he became as complicit at anybody involved, and the TSSAA passing the buck and refusing to watch the video was a real cop out. And I was not a fan of the hire that the local school made there. Yep, he's won games, but there was too much negative baggage there IMO. But nobody asked me.

They lost because of an illegal pitcher who shouldn't have been allowed to throw against them. I wouldn't call that a free pass when someone is cheating to win a game and knew their only chance to beat SH was to pitch him. TSSAA did sweep it under the rug and was brought to the publics attention that he shouldn't have been eligible to pitch the day before the game, Powell didn't care about that.

You have to be careful of assuming too much from football spring practice numbers. Teams are competing with track, baseball, soccer and tennis for kids. The more multi sport athletes you have (generally a good thing) the bigger the impact. Practice numbers for football can vary significantly day to day in the spring based on the schedule of other sports. Also in the spring, teams are without one class. The HS careers of current seniors are over and the upcoming freshman class are still officially in middle school and can’t practice. If they have roughly equal numbers per class this reduces a team by 25%.
