You say hand down the maximum penalty until it happens to your team or your favorite team. Rules are rules and they shouldn't be broken, but there is fair punishment and not fair punishment. It's like a thief who stolel money to better provide for his family gets sentenced 3 years in prison, no parole. Then a rapeist who gets sentenced 10 years in prison with a possiblity of parole and gets out in 2 years. Where's the fairness? Unfortunately it happens all the time in society. No one is saying ignore the rules, but some people want is the punishment to fit the crime. And if it's your son, which this is not in my case, who is a senior and his and his classmates whole season got messed up because of a mistake that didn't affect a game or an outcome of a game, then you have to side on the way of fairness and who it affects.

Okay already, point well taken, I know what I said, but that was a little overboard. If we can stop this post, that would be good. I am sorry!

True! And just for the record, I am not mad or disatisfied with TSSAA, I was just wondering why people who complain about this body so much, don't do anything about it or can they? Who does the elections, who elects who, who nominates who etc...

You are much nicer, I think that's unfair. Going to two classes vs three classes didn't affect the outcome of any game. It's not like he or the school was trying to lie or tried to hide the fact that he wasn't eligible. It's the school who circumvent the rules or tried to hide the rule breaking that need to be punished, not schools with a silght oversite. I am not sure what they should have done, but making a team forfeight games was not the anwser. I am just glad it didn't completely afftect the teams season, like it did Riverdale.

Whatever dude. I see so many people complaining about TSSAA, whether it's handing down punishment incorrectly, making rule changes, adjusting this and that and coaches not happy with decisions that are being made, that why isn't there a change made? Maybe forming another sanctioning body is a little overboard, but who elects these people who seem to be there year after year making the decisions that everyone is so unhappy about. It was just a question posed and sarcasm could have been left out.

If everyone doesn't agree with most of TSSAA's logic and decisions, why don't the high schools just dump the TSSAA and form another sanctioning body run by the coaches. Tennessee High School Assocaiton sounds good to me. It seems to often to me that State Tournaments and Championships are often not run correctly, decisions are often not made with good sense and punishments are often to harsh for the crime. Let's get rid of TSSAA.

I think this is right, but the season distict stuff doesn't really matter, so Tullahoma could still win thier district in the distrcit tournament and go on to win state. I think TSSAA punishment doesn't fit the crime as one would say, but they are consistent. Look what they did to Riverdale last year, again the crime did not fit the punishment. Why don't high school coaches just get rid of TSSAA, form thier own league, since they don't like what they do anyway. All it would take is not paying their stupid fee and creating there own league.

I would have to disagree. Although I wasn't there, I did get from a very reliable source that Blackman could have played better. I heard that Blackman possed the ball most of the time, with the exception of the first 15 mintues. I was also told that the two goals scored were two mistakes on set plays in which Blackman did not mark the players. Which is a credit to a good team, making opportunities count when mistakes happen. Someone will have to verify on those and the following points. I was also told that Blackman just couldn't get anything going offensively, which is what happened in the Cookeville game. They kept sending long balls from defensive end and with a solid defense as Riverdale has, you can't do long ball after long ball. It takes playing to the wing and some through balls. I am sure there coach will work on those mental mistakes. I was also told that Riverdale deserve to win that game even though Blackman possed the ball for more than 80% of the game. Hats off to Riverdale on a well deserve win. Who is this scout123 that keeps making these accurate predictions? I also heard that the center ref and the AR on the players side were very good, it was the other AR on the parents side who really could not keep up with the players and therefore called some bad calls for both teams.

Riverdale 3 - Warren Country 0

Any Predictions on the Blackman vs Riverdale Game.

Blackman 3 - Cookeville 1

Cookville was handed thier first district lost tonight. They were held to no shots on goal in first half, and I think they had 4 shots in the second half, but nothing really threatning with the exception of the one goal in the last minute of the game. Which was a fantastic finish by Blake Walker from Cookeville. Micha Morrissey scored the only goal in the first half, assisted by Tyler Clem. Micha also scored the second goal assisted by Adam Huber. The last goal scored by Matt Reed, assisted by Spencer Brock. Thanks for the clarification on who scored the goal for Cookevile

WOW!!!!!

Apparently either against Oakland or Warren County they got 4 PK's in one game :justwrestle:

I heard. It's at Blackman

Predictions on an important disctirct game

Patrick Compton, Freshman at Riverdale. Also, plays ODP for the 91's.
