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

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
