Due to using an ineligible coach in a JV game two weeks ago, Gallatin is forced to forfeit their district games vs Hendersonville and Mount Juliet and they will also not be allowed to play in the White House playday on Saturday. This was a decision by the school's administration. Galllatin self reported themselves to the TSSAA and this was the administration's proposal. The TSSAA backed it as far as I know. The games will be ruled as no contests. It will not hurt Gallatin's overall record, but will hurt their district standing. The coach used was an ex player that is presently playing baseball in college. He just was not certified. It is just unfortunate for the varsity team that they have to deal with this. The forfeits have nothing to do with the tornadoes that came through. Everyone seems to be doing ok at the moment from those. We did have a few players that had some damage done to their homes and one player even had a house collapse on him. He is doing fine though. It has been a tough 3 or 4 days for the Wave, but we will survive. I thank everyone for all their prayers for us.

I know this is totally off subject but how bad was Vol State hit. I am playing ball there next year and i was just wondering how much damage they got.

 

 

Actually the tornado did rip through part of the school. Vol State classes have been cancelled all week. The girl's softball field is pretty much destroyed. The baseball field , which lies almost all the way across campus really was not affected with exception of some trash and debris flying on the field. As far as I know though, there was no structural damage to the field.

why would they penalize the varsity for a JV violation?? doesn't make sense, that should not be the case... but considering some of the tssaa's other senseless stuff that would be par for course

The school self-reported and made suggestions to the TSSAA regarding the penalties. The TSSAA, even thought they didn't have to, accepted the penalties that the Gallatin HS administration had put forth. The TSSAA didn't do anything wrong on this one.

i agree, thats a horrible reason to give up some games. doesnt seem like that big of a deal to me...maybe if they tried to play the ex-player, but to let him sit in the dugout and maybe give a little advice...tough luck.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
