The thing about a coach is in Sullivan County they will be a teacher/ coach. The pay difference between a Johnson City teacher/coach or any other city/coach would not make up for what that coach would lose to take the job. They most likely will pick someone that is already in the county system.

Hate to say it but most kids on a team that are in the playoffs and most of their parents aren't going to go get tested from just the fear of what just happened. Especially if they are a starter most likely they will just miss a couple of practice's and just show up to play unless they are running a really bad fever they won't even go to a Dr.

Anytime any govt. agency gets involved in anything do you really think it will get resolved. The blame game has already started. This one will blame this one and so on. In the end somebody is blaming somebody else to save their overpaid job. The fact is DB will be going to Maryville. McMinn county will be going to basketball. The sad fact is in the end nobody will take responsibility for how seniors on one team won't play their last game and the seniors of another team won't be able to play their last game on their home field.

I'd say you're right. It's ashame how much power a county health dept. has. You would think they would do a better job of following up on things but l guess it is like any other govt. job they sit around and I'm sure somebody will blame it on somebody else down the line and won't take responsibility.

The thing about it is the higher seeded teams up here in 5a are just a few plays away from getting over that hump just like the hump the 4a teams have gotten over . 6a is a pretty big hump though lol.

Who won on the scoreboard. All I was saying was knox teams are used to those kind of games. My son played at Tenn high. They beat Knox central early 2 yrs ago but after playing a region 1 conference schedule compared to a region 2 conference schedule it's different. When u see speed every week compared to Volunteer,Mo East, and Cherokee you don't have to play your best game to beat some teams. I think in knox you can't let up

5a and 6a just don't have the speed week end and week out in region 1 to compete with knox teams. They may play with them early in the season but when they are a little banged up at the end they don't have the numbers or the players. It is what it is.

Either way it goes I think if I was the McMinn county AD I would be looking up who pulled the plug and raising heck. The budget for a $7000 bus trip during a covid budget yr wouldn't be a good thing.

I hate the fact ( for seniors) on either team they couldn't leave it on the field because a heath department said don't play. These (kids) men have been playing for yrs. Both teams deserve to end it on the field.

It wasn't by their choice against Cherokee really. Lol it is the world we are living in. I'm just glad they will be in playoffs. When Boone or Crockett has the covid from a disgruntled player from this point over how will that go. It comes down to how the administration does the system believe me. If you have a kid that doesn't get playing time your are done.

THS shut down till 11/4

Covid takes another down. THS shut down.

Something tells me Crockett and Betsy won't be getting together.

Cherokee cancelled against Crockett. I hope teams that aren't competitive at all don't start canceling and hanging it up early since they have a built in excuse this year.

Hopefully this game will be played. NET teams are starting to drop like flies. Alot of playoff spots and conferences are going to be determined in the next couple of weeks.
