I believe it is a little early to be starting in pads. I don't know about you guys in the valley.

Hold up fellas. I too thought I saw Whitwell in full pads yesterday when I drove by. So first I made a call to confirm that Monday was the first full day of pads. Then, so I wouldn't stick my foot in my mouth, I drove back to the school, drove into the parking lot next to the field.....and looked again.

 

Those were long red shorts. There was no football pants or pads in pants on those boys.

 

Nobody was doing anything wrong. Shorts, shoulder pads and your trusty little hard hat are ok this week fellas.

 

See you all the 17th in Jasper.

involve practice with another school(s).

It's nice to read and remember about the old games and the old-timers, and the players who'll be old-timers before they know it. I'm just still a little stunned Sequatchie is potentially looking at a 1,000-student school in 3-4 years. I would have thought 800, max, at least for a while. Dropouts, etc, will figure into it, too.

Dunlap is getting bigger everyday.... Do they reclassify the classes and regions in 2009? If so, I think Sequatchie will go to region 3-AAA....

3-AAA. Just what that region needs, another team

If they moved to 3-AAA... Then probably Tellico Plains, Polk County, or Meigs would move back down to AA....

Maybe you need to make another call or ask the right questions. Practice does not begin until July 30. No pads are allowed until the first day of practice. The last time I checked, shoulder pads are in the category of "pads". Why do you think all the 7-on-7 scrimmages use only shorts, tee shirts and helmets? Wouldn't you think that if shoulder pads were acceptable every coach in the state would be using them? IF Whitwell was in shoulder pads, as you and others have said, they were most obviously doing something wrong. They were in "pads" a full week before everyone else. No matter how anyone wants to spin this, IF they had their shoulder pads on, they were breaking the rules... aka...cheating.

 

NOTE: Please note my use of the word "IF". I did not see them in pads and am only going by what a couple of people have posted on here.

Well I think there's some additional info concerning "pads" that need to be cleared up. I called an expert and he said as long as they were not in "full pads" they were ok.

 

I saw first hand SHORTS, shoulder pads and helmets yesterday.

I don't know what expert you called, but I assure you that shoulder pads are NOT legal till monday. This came up last year and a couple of teams lost scrimmage dates as punishment from TSSAA.

I know you wont name any names so tell us what the title is of this "expert". As bad as the TSSAA is at times I doubt very seriously that you could get anyone there to say something as ambiguous (sp) as that. No pads means NO PADS. Again, if they can wear shoulder pads, why do they not wear them in the 7-on-7 scrimmages? Yeah. I don't know either. I guess Whitwell is just the only ones in the state that knows and understands the rules. I would like for you to tell us what title this so-called expert holds so that it might lend a little credibility to his/her statement. Who knows, you may have just single-handedly revolutionized Tennessee High School Football. Coaches all over the state will be able to modify their off-season practices now because there is a whole lot more that you can do with shoulder pads on than you can do with just tees, shorts and helmets. I've always enjoyed reading your posts because you generally have good input, but this has got to be the biggest load of manure that I've ever read. You had to prowl through a lot of chicken houses in Grundy to come up with this crap! Whitwell was in pads a full week early. Nice attempt at defending them but it's going to take more than simple hearsay to clear their good (um, um) name.
