QUOTE(dwhunter45 @ Feb 21 2007 - 11:55 AM) 826382829[/snapback]DOES WEST TENNESSEE HAVE AN EXEMPTION FROM THE TSSAA WHEN THEY PLAY THEIR REGIONAL GAMES? I THOUGHT THE DATES AND TIMES WERE ALREADY SET IN STONE. FRIDAY AT 7:00 P.M. FOR GIRL'S QUARTER-FINALS, AND SATURDAY AT 7:00 P.M. FOR BOYS QUARTER-FINALS.

 

 

Region 7AA asked for and was granted permission to start on Thursday so that they would not have to play the following Wednesday, which has been traditionally a night when folks go to church......

I wish Region 3 had done the same. I'm a youth minister, and I won't be able to attend if my team makes it to the finals.

it is a sad day for all Bible Belters when we see TSSAA mandate Wednesday nights as a set tournament night

 

it is also a sad day when TSSAA force all region quarters to be played on the same night at the same time so all the games can't be enjoyed by all region fans

 

TSSAA spends too much time trying to meddle with things to make the best 'financial' decisions that they forget to make the 'right' decisions

If I remember correctly our region has been playing semifinals for YEARS on Wednesday night. It used to be 4 games Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then finals on Thursday. Girls' sub states were on Saturday and boys' on Monday.

 

This is nothing new.

 

Plus......do you think God isn't at the game? Why can't you gather at the game a little early, have a prayer meeting, sing a hymn or two and then go support the team? Are you afraid that in today's politically correct world where we're not supposed to pray before the games at schools that someone will do something to you? Seems to me that you can pray and sing wherever you want even if the school is forbidden by liberal judges to lead you in prayer.

Good Point DelTavian! God Is Everywhere

 

If the Lady Indians make it to the Championship game I will be there supporting them. Some people have a bigger ministry at an athletic event or in sports than they do inside the church building. If everyone would take there ministry outside the church more people would see what they do and why they do it. I am to be an encourager and in today's athletic events. In sports today their is a lot of tearing down of these young vulnerable players, but no many people are building them up. May i remind you, we are suppose to be building up each other rather than tearing down!

 

McMinn Central Maniac, Have your youth group meet you at Cleveland State on Wednesday night before the game and have your meeting there. We used to go to our High school two or three times a year to pray for our school. I know its not actually your school but it will be different of your kids and they could support their team too.

every day is God's day in that everything we do should be to glorify him.......better testimonies can be how we act and support our kids as compared to how many days we take up space in a pew....heard a preacher say this once

TSSAA and the districts don't HAVE to play district and regional tournaments on Wednesday, that is the point

 

i understand on State tourney week where you have the gym rented for a set amount of days etc, but districts and regions can easily avoid Wednesdays

 

Nobody is arguing that you can't have devotionals or whatever on wednesdays on your own, but i'd bet less than 10-20% of teams that play on Wednesday have those due to time retsraints/travel/etc, and those players are forced by TSSAA and the districts/regions to miss services that night or miss the game

 

and fans and coaches too

 

so that is my point, why play on Wednesday if you don't HAVE to?

 

you say your district has played on Wednesdays for years, well ours hasn't and is now being asked to (even though we got a waiver to not do so)

They will learn this was one of hte worst financial decisions they've made in a while. I know a lot of people and STUDENTS, who just aren't going to pay $5 to see one game. Also, it's funny how they are concerned about the student athelete, and pass this "no more than 2 games per site on a school night" rule, but will ignore that rule when it's time to cash in on the state tourney

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
