Heard Camden won....What are the details of the game?

PapatJ, I can tell that you and dpemberton have not ran the chains very much if any, and I know for a fact you two have not ran the chains since the new rule has been in place. dpemberton, when was the last time you were at a football game. I have never in my life seen or heard of a hs team only having 3 coaches and 2 players in the coaches box. What a stupid comment. There are more people in the coaching box than in the stands. Maybe dpemberton and papatj need to run the chains next friday night so they can see for themselves. There are other areas of the game were kids are running on and off the field and through the coaching box, "special teams". With the chains being 6ft. in front of the players, the chains can be gone and out of the way before the players have time to enter or exit the game. I feel sorry for you volunteer general, wait til they make you back up 6 feet. Most chain gangs are volunteer people and with this new and uttermost stupid rule, I can see many people electing not to run the chains because of the hassell on the sidelines. It is a great rule only if you are not a member of the chain gang, coaching staff, camera man, ball boy, ball cleaner, football players, team doctor, team trainer, water boys, and sideline judge. Besides that it is an excellent rule..

Nice going TSSAA.....TSSAA has made many bone-headed rule changes over the years, but the new chain, box and clip rule takes the cake. I vote that Ronnie Carter himself runs the chains for a game next week and see for himself how stupid the rule change is.... For people that may not know the new rule on running the sideline chain, it is as followed: You 1st mark the ball with the box, chain stick and clip on the sidelines and then pick up the chains, box and clip and move 6 feet backwards. We were always tripping up the players, coaches, trainers, ball boys, camera men and sometimes ourselves the WHOLE night. For years and years and hundreds of years you always marked the chain on the sideline. But some idiots from the TSSAA said "hey is will be safer"...You can change ANY rule through TSSAA if you use the word safer. What a joke for a new rule.. We were always late getting the ball marked, we tripped up several players, ran over coaches all night long and even run over a 7 year old ball boy...All because we 1st marked on the sideline then move back six feet, then back to the sidelines and back six feet again and ect. I seen nothing safe about it tonight, but I did see 6 and 7 year old ball boys standing right on the sidelines, NOW that is really safe. I also seen camera men right on the sidelines, Now that is safe too. Change the rule back TSSAA. What a stupid rule. IF the chains were a problem of safety, don't move them six feet back.... Here is a better rule...Have the officials really stress to the chain gang before the game if a player gets close to the sidelines be sure to "DROP THE CHAINS".. What do coaches and people running the chains think????????/ Nice going TSSAA for screwing something else up.....What is next???????

Just can't go out and play a game of softball like in the good old days. More and more kids are enjoying the game of softball....Leave it up to TSSAA and they will find a way to mess things up... When my kids get old enough to play, the sport will be so screwed up that they will not want to play... Please tell me this is a joke.... I think it is time for a new athletic association.... Am I way out of line here??

Who is the best slap-hitter anyone has seen? Who are the best from across the state?
