I can clear up this whole thread. Crazy Cowboy or whoever started this did not do his research. I spoke to an assistant principal at Brighton today who helped make the schedules. He said that originally Brighton and Collierville had agreed to play. The contracts were signed and everything was a go. Then the TSSAA realigned the districts, forcing Collierville to play a district game that night. So Brighton only had nine games late in the scheduling period. MAHS called Brighton wanting to play!!! The coach said they were trying to start a new program and they needed the money and the experience, so the teams agreed to play. Brighton was trying to schedule a 6A opponent. As a matter a fact a school quite larger than themselves. So to avoid having nine games, Brighton agreed to play MAHS. SO before everyone on here bashes someone, do your homework first. I have the schools phone number and the name of the administrator if you would like to call verify this story.
Also, the TSSAA put Brighton in an all 5A district. They were 6A by one student. TSSAA should have allowed them to play in 5A or moved them into the district with Millington, Arlington, Cordova, etc. Brighton is the only 6A school west of Jackson not in Shelby County.
