1st Annual Middle Tenn. Spring Play Days

[warrior2024]

Melvin can play. He is an outstanding talent. I thought Mt Pleasant would be down because of the loss of Dailey but I did not think it would be a drastic drop. Coach Smith and company will make sure there isn't a huge drop off.

Would "same building" be considered Campus as in the case with schools such as Columbia Academy? I know they have 8th graders practicing with them and will scrimmage a little later in the week.

 

 

Ronnie Carter emailed me this "Students in another building cannot go through any kind of practice.". I'm not sure if he meant the actual building since some bigger HSs have several buildings tied together with breezeways and such or whether he actually meant the same school/campus. If my 8th graders were not in the same building I would definitely get a written ok from Mr Carter before allowing them to participate in Spring practice. IF CA's 8th graders are in a separate building they may be in violation based on what Mr Carter stated. They may want to self report to keep out of bigger problems if they are turned in

The rule is that if an 8th grader is on the same campus, which means he is governed by the same principle as the high school then he can participate. This rule could be modified soon.

Unfortunately that is not what Ronnie Carter said and since he is "The Man" I would be very careful. It is not spelled out anywhere in the bylaws. I do think this should be clarified one way or another and I told Ronnie so.

the guy is correct if the middle school students are under the same principal they can play or practice. many schools have more than one building. call back and check with grand poobah again and he will clarify it for you. back to the topic i thought huntland looked decent considering their were missing three starters with injuries. It was a fun day for all i hope all the coaches will do it again next year.

Yeah Huntland looked ok and 3 starters will make a difference. The top 5 teams at the event in my opinion, and in no particular order, were Mt. Pleasant, Wayne Co, Collinwood, White House Heritage, and Eagleville. I'll admit I didn't get to see much of Perry Co, MTCS or Cornersville so one of them may have swayed my top 5. It was an awsome day for football, butiful weather not to hot and a little breeze, oh man. Hope it's just the same next year.
