The more important issue was that he participated in spring practice at LFO. That effects the out of zone issue.

Then you would think, will very little investigation from the start, everyone would of raised a red flag on this one. This really isnt saying a lot for our beloved school system.

If he had moved into Signal Mtn school zone instead of Brainerd he would have been eligible. The problem is his OOZ enrollment in SM.

could SM really have a case on this? I'm not so much into it for the 6 wins. I want to see this kid play again. He has skills that produce at the next level, and the kid is a true hard knocks story. I route for the underdogs that rise up. How come nobody really talks about Alcoa, Maryville, Riverdale? you would figure that somebody would want to dig dirt on these legendary programs.

world class, indeed!

yeah being educated and having a good paying job really does stink . Anyway, didnt this kid go to LFO? what is the ruling on kids from out of state?

Thats just it! There is NO issue with the players that live on the mountain. Every time the coach brings in a ringer, a kid that lives on the mountain sits on the bench.

I agree. Tim seems to be a good kid, who now is going to battered by negativity. I hope this kid gets an opportunity to go on to the next level. Winning at some schools has taken over our children getting a quality education. I hope now these boys who have taken a backseat to these "ringers" get their chance to prove themselves, and enjoy the game. remember though, a lot of these ringers....they are from the mountain. they just came to SM instead of going to the private schools. Hogan Whitmire. case in point.

I live on Signal, and if anything out of this entire situation, I feel for these kids. They put in the time, the hard work and did what their coaches asked them to do. I think if anything, people on the Mountain are embarrassed, but mostly sad for the kids if they dont get their chance to make it to the playoffs. I hope the FULL truth comes out, and if there were "misunderstandings" the proper people be held in check.
