Got another bone to pick with the TSSAA

Guys,

 

I have yet another bone to pick with the TSSAA. We have some great Regional Quarterfinal games going on all over the state of Tennessee on Saturday evening. Games that would be assured of getting quality gates and lots of mention in communities all over the state.

 

Problem is, the biggest college basketball game in the history of this state will be going on at about the same time these region games are occurring, particularly in the Central Time Zone.

 

My question is, how hard would it have been for Ronnie Carter and the TSSAA to move up the start times for these games two hours so that people would be more inclined to pay for a ticket, go to a great high school game, and then go home and see the epic UT-UM game? It is a Saturday for pete's sake. This is ridiculous. The kids who play the game are not going to even be able to watch it.

 

I just think this is another example of the TSSAA totally dropping the ball.

 

Am I wrong?

Well, sort of. First of all this is high school and there's no way they could have foreseen how big a college game it would be.

Now having said that, Waverly asked Bolivar to move their game to Friday since Bolivar hosted Waverly's boys and girls. But they refused. But Bolivar had the nerve to call back and want to move the boys game to 4. I wouldn't have agreed to it if I had been coach. I would have said, let's play Friday. That's a disgrace to their school administration. I'm encouraging all Waverly fans to refrain from buying anything from concessions either night. We are having to pay double gas.

no butts handed to them, but sorry, no Memphis victory on Saturday. UT much more athletic. But besides, this is a high school board.

 

 

More athletic is a joke...Douglas-Roberts at a 6'7 wing, has the best mid-range game in the country...Rose will be the most athletic player on the court Saturday, Dorsey will be blocking shots, rebounding, and catching oops all night as long as he stays out of foul trouble, and Antonio Anderson will be in Lofton's face all night...Oh, and please don't let Doneal Mack get hot...The game is in Memphis where he shoots the ball extremely well...

 

Memphis has 4 future NBA players on their roster in 6'7 Douglas-Roberts, 6'4 Rose, 6'9 Dozier, and 6'9 Dorsey...Memphis plays 10-11 deep with relentless defense and a unique combination of speed and size that overwhelms everyone they play...But sure, UT is more athletic..

 

Oh, and since this is a high school board...um Go Humboldt Vikings..

      Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.

      I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.

      Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.

      Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
