I have lived in a number of states. Pennsylvania and Ohio are two that come to mind immediately with their methods. Pennsylvania has all of their championships in Hershey. Hershey is in the center of the state. Ohio conducts their championships in Columbus. Also the center of the state.
I couldn't understand why the Spring Fling used to be in Chattanooga. I don't care if the facilities are great, and they know how to put on a tournament. I felt it was unfair to West Tennessee. The Spring needs to be moved to the center of the state, period.
I don't know Ronnie Carter or any of the other people managing the TSSAA, but I think they are ignorant individuals, or they have their hand in the till. My daughter played in the softball tournament and it infuriated me that, by wanting to be as close to the venue as possible, I had to pay Mississippi taxes for a Tennessee event.
Move it to Middle Tennessee like football and basketball!!!!!!
