I don't either but you never know. I am glad for all involved that they will know Monday instead of dragging it out and keeping everyone in limbo.

Am I wrong in thinking that MJ will face WC? I thought MJ was the #2 seed and WC was the #3 seed.

From what I read both schools will have their appeals heard on Monday.

Why would coaches leave either school over this. Doesn't make sense. And of course Puckett came to win championships. Nobody goes to a new school to lose and Shelbyville did not hire him to lose.

Schools are doing what they can. Everyone is taking caution to be safe. I would hope anyone with common sense could understand that. As far as having mental anguish and depression due to sports come on now. I am sure kids and coaches will be upset when their seasons come to an end, that is normal. And I'm sure some kids that are on the fence of getting a scholarship might be affected. But hey here is an idea, if your kid is on the fence tell him to improve his grades, do some volunteer work, etc to improve himself. This situation has affected us all. If you don't like how things are going in schools then pull your kid and homeschool him. Put him at a private school. There are always options that are proactive instead of just being negative. Good luck to those having the privilege of playing tonight.

Eers I am going by the FC news paper. Now to be clear it only spoke of the penalties handed to FC. I guess Shelbyville could be different but the TSSAA usually hands out the same punishment to each school involved.

Just saw 2 year postseason ban and a large fine. That has been the norm. Sounds fair by what the TSSAA has done to others.

Not trying to do that at all. Just saying if he is really a Shelbyville fan then step up and support them in the good times and bad. We all know his stance on Shelbyville and he is all about being fair. It's his middle name. Dont walk away just because things dont go your way. Dont blame others for something that was self inflicted. Simple as that.

Sportsguy why get off of Coacht? From outside looking in seems like you didnt get your way so your out type thing. Not very mature and in my opinion not a great example to kids. Several of us on here have said punishments would probably be coming. I'm not sure what those punishments are but if you go by past results and what is fair based on those results you should have known what was possible. And why leave Coacht based on what TSSAA does. What has this site done that had any impact from TSSAA. I guess when faced with a little adversity some step up and others step out.

Rankin is a great coach but Alcoa was good before he got there. Even Riverdale was decent before he got there. Sure he improved both but it's not like he built them from the ground up.

I just checked and TSSAA does not even have the EN v WC game listed for either team. Not sure why that game is not even showing up. But if it stands that would make a difference. If it stands and WC beats Stratford both would have one region win as would Stratford. If Siegel beats EN then in overall wins both EN and WC would have 2. Now the crazy part. Because if it stands then EN and WC have not played each other then you cannot use head to head results. So you go to the next tiebreaker which is basically quality opponents. And WC would get the nod because they played PC and HL. No way this stands.

WC cannot jump EN. EN has 2 region wins. Even if WC beats Stratford they would only have 1 region win. The standing shown earlier must not have counted the WC forfeit. Probably just an oversight on their part.

Must be a county thing. I havent heard of videos being used.

So what coach was quarantined? Can't see 16 players affected and not a coach.

I thought it was football related not classroom.

You said 16 were under quarantine. How come the entire team was not?

If so its again convenient for Shelbyville football. Seems like if teams are shutting down for contact tracing the "FAIR" thing for Shelbyville to do would have also been to sit. It would have also been the safe thing to do which is even more important than being fair.

Maybe I'm really lost. I have not heard of the health department viewing videos to tell who has to be quarantined. When did this start?

Yeah I'm a little lost on that one. Schools like SC, Rockvale, and now DC having to sit while Shelbyville plays......

Appreciate the honesty. If 16 were contact traced how were the others even allowed to play? Was it a position group?

Did the 16 get contact traced because of the classroom or football team?

What conspiracy theory. Is there a video or not. If not don't you find that at least a little odd? And how can you promise me the TSSAA has all the information? Are you with the TSSAA? Did you take all the evidence to TSSAA yourself? Maybe the benches didn't clear but did players not on the field when it started even step one foot on the field? And finally, in other similar cases not every player was involved but still had a punishment. It happens all the time. It's a team sport. Is it fair that if a team finds out they played an ineligible player unknowingly that the entire team is punished by a loss?

Ah sir but I clearly stated to keep in mind similar cases handled by the TSSAA. I find it funny that in today's cell phone video world that not one person got his phone out to record this mess, neither film crew caught it, a parent did not catch it on video. Convenient. I also looked on YouTube and the account that put the video up has been taken down. Hmmmmmm.

Sportsguy you seem to be all about being fair when it's convenient for your team. Like having Hillsboro play just to be fair! In this case what do you think is fair? And keep in mind past cases the TSSAA handled.

Prayers to those involved. Tragic news.
