Sounds to me like somebody has too much time on their hands. If you are good at making predictions about the future, maybe you can send me some lottery numbers.

I sympathize with you about this topic. Here is the official rule for artificial noise makers.... Noisemakers are allowed at outdoor events as long as the officials do not determine that they are being used to taunt the other team or their fans. B.Childress of TSSAA The problem I saw was that the horns not only impacted Riverdale's game, it also impacted games on the other fields. I understand fan enthusiasm, I had quite a bit during my visit to the 'Boro. But, if I felt for one second that it was a distraction to another game, I would clam up. But, that's my opinion. You know what they say about opinions.

Boone played 3 games on Friday night. They lost all 3 to some tough teams. Long way to go to lose but they gained valuable experience for their young team. The schools the played were 6A. The rest of the tournament was a wash.

I think that this dad needs to call his school board members and find out just what is going on. Mandatory drug testing was ruled a violation of the student athlete's civil rights in an opinion handed down by the State Attorney General. The AG and the state legislation are working to clarify the language around this issue so that school systems in Tennessee can enforce mandatory drug testing without opening themselves up to costly lawsuits. Unicoi County still does have a Drug Policy in place but are choosing at this time not to enforce it due to the threat of a Civil Lawsuit. Unicoi County is not alone in this. Other counties are putting their policies on hold until the state works out the language in the code. If this dad is that concerned, he should pick up the phone and call the State Attorney General and tell him to get on the ball and so we can enforce drug testing. We have a very competent Board of Education and Director of Schools. They are top of this issue and are working diligently with the state for a resolution. If that does not satisfy the BlueDevilDad, maybe he should run for a position on the school board and see what he can get done.
