This is a list of tournaments thru the season.

this site is for preseason only.

it is obvious at this time of the year, your door has been knocked on or you phone has rung with someone saying "Hello, my name is -------- and I am selling ( charge cards candy, cookies, etc, etc, etc.). Would you help us this year? And those fans would think yes I want to do that this year because someone likely related or someone who had a player play, has been in the family. To those who have helped and watch the hard work the players expend to support their community, it is a great way to do it. Even a car wash or so helps also. But the thing that turns these players on the most is not only getting you to buy whatever they sell, but when a patron show up at a match to see them and comes by and says great game after their match. Thanks for everyone who has bought something. You supported your team.

the complication of this rule is the local rule in the County determining where Students go from that school.

If at sometime, CT decides that the support of the Sport does not fit his time and effort, and it is his site, there are oter venues that are interested. Not with the prestige and influence of this site though. Losing VB shook up a lot of fans. VB is a major womens/girls sport along with soccer and softball and girls basketball. Go to a site of some major VB Tournaments and you could see 2000/2500 fans spending some time there and maybe more. Go to some of the major interdisreict matches and the game is well supported. yes some work has to be done to maximize the attendance and it is being done. The passion is still there. It will always be there in high school athletics but the reason is the passion that Coaches and players present to the public. its a fine product and the State Tournament the first two days is as well attended as any sports. But even the last two days fall off every year. What a Sport!!!

Nope, the same question came thru my mind for Coacht when Volleyball left the site and so did I after maintenance finished the Middle of July. Evidently a technical glitch but everything I had posted before the glitch, along with all correspondence from posters disappeared and some of last years posts took its place. There seemed to be a lot of views showing up with people looking in. While I could not verify if anyone could see the site, my fears were right. The whole forum left for never, never, land somewhere out in cybervision and the only thing I wound up seeing was CoachT on his facebook site in a hammock taking a snooze. It means now trying to reinvent information and I thank you for asking.. Hope we didn't lose anyone and I thank you for asking. After 9 years on this site, and CT doesn't just do this, without an eye on response of fans, Time is getting shorter. I am closing in to the end of the careers of 3 grandkids. they have enjoyed the game and so have I. But the support of fans and parents across the State have been the best. Times are tough and financing is tougher but the support is still there. Have a great season.

it appears that most posts leading up to this Volleyball season did get deleted and its start all over time for this forum. Evidently reconstruction process is not available. fans from all over the State of Tennessee High Schools in this great sport will have to bring this site up to date or find information otherwise. Schedules can be found on TSSAA site. other preseason information can be found there also. 2012 information looks to be on the site and the start date has been posted.. The site will be only as good as you make it and its waiting here for you.

Evidently safety of the athlete, whether football or not, is the primary reason at looking at this bill. All athletes are suseptable to concussions no matter the sport. But the question comes to mind, what if an athlete gets a concussion outside of sports. that happens all of the time whether it be a fall, a car accident, a bicycle accident, etc. Athletes take physicals. Seems to me that requiring those who give may skewto put a question on the examination as to whether there has been any major event of a head blow occurred in the previous year or something of that nature to at least put everyone on alert that something has happened. Football is of major concern here but usually when stats are taken on events of this kind, concussions show up everywhere, maybe not with the frequency of major impact sports but everywhere. Outside events may skew the numbers. What if the athlete is a boxer also or something of that nature? Real life instances can effect people who play.

As long as heat does not wind up above 100 degrees.

Very difficult to remember texas 23 post. Its even more difficult to remember my response, if I ever made it. It is a good story and one which should be watched especially during this time. Yes, I did get a phone call about the charity just lately. it is worthwhile. There should be a charity forum on the site maybe. But just maybe it might go the way responses seem to have gone here, donuts and barbecue with 3 or 4 posters all who have paid rights to look in to the threads. The stories are there and their implications to the State and to the Country if anyone is interested. I can assure you they are interested. They are being read. This is a great site for the information it started originally, the best IMO. Controversial issues of the day are needed unless there is some DOJ site watching the information and deem it of no value to an administration. What is interesting is two weeks ago,press freedom was condoned and now DOJ in the Rosen Case, says whoops ist amendment rights don't matter and have got everyone up tight about political matters. The issue is right now, donuts and barbecue vs recents events which have some bearing on everyones life. Don't now have to worry about this post for as you have implied, no one is reading it. Everyone should read the rist post though. Great stuff.
