Maryville High School students are pretty good and they consistently support their team no matter the time of week or opponent. They come out in numbers and stand the whole game. Great team support!!!

I don't disagree with your comments. We can only hope that important lessons have been learned and that much of this off season nonsense will not repeat itself again this year. Good luck to all in the post season.

On the surface, your last comment is true. A talented freshman transfered to PF with his older brother, a senior, to play baseball for Coach Quinn. And, nothing is wrong with the transfer as long as the kids pursued the school following TSSAA guidelines. We all know that it is hard to prove who contacted who first. This is likely the reason the TSSAA has not pursued issues at GP. The TSSAA does not have the resources to investigate all complaints; although, these complaints are pretty widespread. PF has been upfront about their issues with GP. I don't think anybody is trying to hide as implicated in an earlier thread. The problem is that nobody within the school system listened. Therefore, IF PF raised the issue of a teaching certification, or lack of, it was likely to draw attention to the recruitment of six players in one school year. It is also common knowledge, that other players were contacted while enrolled at other schools but decided to not to transfer. If this had not occurred, I doubt the issue of the teaching certificate would have surfaced. I understand that GP's coach knows the game and that good coaches are hard to find but following the rules should be the number one quality of being a high school coach. Surely you just didn't say he transferred to play baseball. That is against the rules. You cannot transfer for athletic purposes. Coach Guinn knows better. LOL Sorry, tranferring is not against the rules, recruiting is. Hopefully both schools and coaches know better!!! LOL
