Could they file another court motion to halt the ruling?

If they wanted  to  play as an independent school forever. Membership is  not mandatory.

They really need to drop to 5A. They could go 3-7, 4-6 there.

March 5th 2002 officially although I had posted on the site for  two years before that when  you didn't have to register. 3000+ posts

Dear TSSAA

#1 PLEASE play the state tournament somewhere with adequate parking. Making elderly people walk over a mile to the venue is ridiculous. Either work a deal with MTSU to block off Greenland from students or go somewhere that will cater to the event.

#2 put scorekeepers at the table that have actually done it before. Unacceptable how many times play had to be stopped due to the table not knowing how to do their job.

What I don't understand is that nobody is even questioning that the same guy is somehow the "guardian" for all of those kids?

East Nashville has 4 starters and 8 of top 10 returning from their semi final team.

Just putting folks on notice again. This should be a good year again.

It is amazing how a school with successful athletic programs like Pearl Cohn can have football players winning track state championships, but another school that can't beat them in football tells its kids not to run track or play baseball or do anything else except football. And every year they underachieve.

Good luck FIrebirds. Football, Basketball and Track all State bound.

Victor Underwood is the coach from Silverdale Baptist.  Former MJCA player.    

Good young coach and does pretty well, but whole different animal with Goodpasture, CPA, BGA, etc. hanging around.  

Think Underwood would bail and go to MJCA at some point.   That's what's tough.

 

 

 

If he is interested in  coaching why in the world would he bail for MJCA?  Just cause he went there? He should have first hand knowledge of the lack of talent there.

Good to hear from you Fork. HR can slow down a hire for sure. Anyone being hired from outside the district will be delayed for awhile.

 Overton is handicapped from within. Too many O'Jays in the building.

If the TSSAA for whatever reason cannot get their act together I would encourage the private schools to leave the TSSAA and form their own division.  

You have to understand that the  National Federation will only recognize one association per state which means if you form your own, you will not be in the National Federation. This would also mean that you could not play any school that WAS in the National federation. Kinda limits your pool.

He should return to Overton and save that sinking ship.

Bleacher, you are obviously an old school Metro guy like myself. However, you have no clue about what Overton is like  now. The "tea sippers" are long gone. The clientele simply isn't there anymore.

Now I know you want to spout off that the talent is "still there walking the halls" etc. but I actually worked there and it is not. I had a copy of my class rolls from there out the other day. Mohamud, Mostafa, Felipe, Sayed, Isriel, Miguel, Belen.  Those are the first 7 boy names in one class. You are living in the  80's if you think that is 6A football material.

Yes but if you chose to play up in football then you could play 2a in the other sports. Which is very doable.

If yo have  1100 kids you will not have a choice to play 2A in other sports.  You will be 3a in all other sports. You can choose to play 5A football right now as a 3A football school, but playing up in football has nothing to do with where  you play in other sports. Enrollment controls everything.

Just remember if you had 1100 kids and played 5A football you would also play 3A in basketball/Baseball/Softball/Volleyball etc.

Really has nothing to do with the double standard of having to play a regular season football game and not having to play other sports, however.

We all know why you didn't play them. The  result was going to be  the  same either way.

As recently as 4 years ago, both Trousdale County and Red Boiling Springs refused to play Goodpasture in any sport BUT football because all the  other sports still allow the teams to play in the  post season and simply incur a forfeit loss. Football removes you from  the  post  season. No idea why the double standard.

I taught it at HIillwood at one time. 

McGavock has had it at least 30 years

East has it though it is not taken advantage of by the current regime. Who knows why.

I have been coaching in TN for almost 30 years & I have rarely seen it.  Sometimes you see it when a new school opens in the middle of a classification cycle & they must play an independent schedule for a year or 2.  But I can’t temember it happening simply because the school systems says they cannot compete.  I would like to see examples in the past myself.

DuPont High School in Nashville did it for two years in fall of ‘81 and 82. Went 17-3 after being 3-17 the two years before if I remember correctly. The last three years it was open they went back to a region schedule and went 8-22.

i am sure there are more recent examples.

You are as connected as anyone in middle TN. What are you hearing?

The same as you and everyone else remotely connected. Waiting game.

Congrats to Greenville on their dominant performance.

That is too bad Fork. One person's loss is  another's gain in reverse.

Dean in line?

Good luck to both teams. Enjoy the night and savor every moment. There’s only 18 teams around the state that get to experience this each year. 

The sheer fact that there are 18 is ridiculous.

Weight training through the day?? I thought they stopped that in metro

No. You can have weightlifting as a PE class. You just  cannot limit it to athletes only and it  cannot be specific to a certain sport. Just general strength and  conditioning.
