Apparently the assistant coach in question is the superintendent's son. If that is true, that would probably explain why it's not being mentioned because it would be a screw up on behalf of the school. Guess we will never know the truth...

Yeti: I love my Lady Cherokees and they let me down but they always take a week or two to get warmed up and I know they will get em on the next game haha. Yes it is collusion, perhaps. And the motives as to my buddy telling me about it at work may be that his son/daughter may not be getting playing time, I'm not sure. But regardless if it's true that is messed up. But my motive is that I don't want players/coaches/fans or anyone to get this terrible virus that doesn't have to, prayers for Coalfield, and my 2nd motive is that TSSAA put these rules in place for schools to be there own overwatch and by doing so some schools cheat and nothing happens and other schools have rules enforced upon them for mishandling a situation that causes there season to end.

You are right as to I have only heard it from the one source but just because it is from his kid it doesn't mean it is a lie. If I knew more people from Meigs I'd ask them. But I would imagine if you were to ask any (basketball) parents or fans in Meigs or if the news was to ask about the basketball coaches that they would tell you what I have. Which is that one of the assistant basketball coaches, who also coaches football, and was at the game Sat when he coached alongside another basketball coach on Tues night who was positive. I am sure there is game film that shows him coaching on Tues beside the coach who tested positive and game film of him being at the game on Sat. But you are right I don't know for sure if that basketball coach had Covid or just had a stomach bug but why would they quarantine the whole basketball team on Fri if he wasn't positive?

I don't like Meigs or Central, never have. I'm a loyal Cherokee but I do care about players and I don't know all the guidelines, but when guidelines (whatever they are) are strictly enforced that keep kids from accomplishing their dreams and what all they worked for (my Cherokees) who I am not defending as we messed up apparently... but other schools (Meigs) are apparently doing the same thing and as a result kids get sick and nothing happens it doesn't seem right. But to be told I was clueless when I made my original post several days ago based off what my friend said now seems to have some merit.

All I'm saying is that my buddy whose got kids in Meigs said that the assistant basketball coach (who also) coaches football coached Tues night basketball game vs Bradley. The other basketball coach, who he coached besides during the entire game, got sick and tested on Wed and got results of positive on Fri and the whole basketball team and all other coaches were told to quarantine on Fri. However, the one assistant coach who also coaches football, did not quarantine and coached at the game on Saturday. And now come Tuesday I read an article saying all players are quarantined and a player is sick and and my buddy says the football coaches were at the basketball game on Monday against my Lady Cherokees. FYI they had an off night.

Hope your players, coaches and fans are safe. When coaches & players refuse to go get tested after they know they have been a close contact and don't quarantine this happens. Just hope no one is seriously sick as a result.

Dang, I was one pt off with my prediction. 35-13 instead of 35-14...

Hunt (6-A McMinn RB) and Meadows (2-A Meigs RB). Wish they could have squared off this year. Look fwd to see how Meadows does against quality competition. Peabody had a beast as a RB last year, don't know his name but that dude was good.

Charger64: Back when schedules were made in 2019 Bearden was coming off an 8-3 (6-A) season and ND was coming off a 9-2 season with a Private School Championship appearance in 2017. We have to play the Chargers, (lame) and I'll give you Sequoyah that is a badly scheduled team but we also play Maryville, Bradley, Cleveland and Ooltewah each year. Meigs plays in a terrible region and to beef there schedule up they choose to play down, Greenback and South Pitt, Central (school board doesn't force you guys too) and Polk Co which are terrible and a stellar Clinton team with a rich history hahaha. Give me a break, weakest schedule ever. McMinn would play Meigs any day. We play you in every other sport so bring it.

Good AM. Meigs County players I'm sure are some of the nicest young men, who have worked hard and I am sure are going to perform there best today, just like Peabody's players. Meigs players can't help their coaches schedule them cupcakes year in and out that don't prepare them for this game. Come on over to Athens, McMinn would love to give you a "L" in 2021. It will soften the blow before you experience your first one in Cookeville like you will this year.

Meigs just got drilled three straight games, but from what I am hearing McMinn is having a rebuilding year but this is suppose to be like the best girls team Meigs has had. I do commend "Megis" basketball for playing real competition though, like what we play every year. Now back to runner-up football....

Runner-Up: According to TSSAA: 1959, 1980x2, 1992, 1995, 2014, 2019 & "2020". User name aligns with your team, Champions of the Runner-Up Life. Only good thing about Central is the word, McMinn in front of it. Go Cherokees!

TFL you are welcome for the entertainment, truth often is nice to listen to... Just remember you spell, "Meigs" as listed not "Megis" and you spell "loss" as listed. Go Cherokees!!

I don't follow basketball as much as I should to know how good our girls are this yr, just saw where Meigs girls got drilled. I guess we will see on Monday.

Peabody 35 Meigs 7. Maybe 14 if Peabody subs late. McMinn 38 Meigs 13 2021
