tssaa is a joke,,,,,,these new guidelines or RULES are terrible and make no sense. They should have let the coaches vote, not 8 principals!

NOW COACHES HAVE TO TRACK each player over the AAU season and make sure they don't play on an illegal team, with 3 or more players. This makes a bunch of sense. It's created more work for the coaches.

TSSAA IS GOVERNING what kids do in the off season,,,can you say "LAW TIME" Get ready TSSAA

haven't taken it all in yet but will chime in later ...but having a kid that played three sports in high school ...football, basketball and tennis ....from what i can see it doesn't look all that bad ....i don't think that tssaa is regulating the kids as much as it is THE COACHES , some of them were getting out of hand....

100 "OFF SEASON" games is too many......demanding that kids play the sport that YOU coach year around is idiotic....i am anti- specialization to the bone...i was taken to task on here a few months ago by someone who said a certain kid should not play basketball because he should concentrate on base ball ...because that's where his so called scholarship opportunities were.....well that same kid (from gatlinburg pittman) signed a scholarship to play FOOTBALL on signing day...after basketball was 80% over...let's see..........................he quit BASKETBALL to concentrate on BASEBALL then he signed a scholarship for FOOTBALL..............................i only wonder if he is even playing baseball now ........perhaps he is playing soccer ....best i remember he was a dang good soccer player when he was younger............

That post made zero sense, the HS coaches don't coach AAU in the spring/summer season. How can TSSAA regulate what team a kid wants to play for in the spring/summer. That is dictatorship.

These rule changes hurt more of the rural counties than anyone. I have heard proposals of breaking away from the TSSAA and it souded worth listening to.

Now guys don't be so upset. Everyone knows that football is the sport that makes the most money and that is what always influences tssaa. They would cut out the rest of the sports if they could. Basketball can't have spring practice but football can, baseball can't play in the fall because it will interfere with football but football can have spring practice during baseball season. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that tssaa has said to heck with the kids, show me the money. Somewhere down the road the schools are going to have to say the heck with tssaa.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By strongx · Posted

      Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better.

      That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.

      RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.

      You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
