This might be a blessing in disguise for these poor football teams. Just think about the low morale and the humiliation from your peers with loss after loss. At least Stone and Crossville won't have to worry about that. Go Oneida.

 

Your mouth is writing checks your ego can't cash young man. Show so compassion for these boys and girls who dont have the opportunity to go out and represent their school, no matter how good or bad they might be. All of the kids should transfer out of Crossiville and never come back. I'm sure Bledsoe, Sequatchie and other surrounding counties would gladly take them.

I bet the good people from Scott Co are so proud of you! You are a idiot.

 

This is alot bigger than football this is kids being left out and going to be left behind. I'm sure Rockwood, Harriman, Bledsoe, York, Rhea Co and all the other schools around would love to have these kids because the more kids the more $ the state gives.

This is just an idea and might not even make a difference, but....

 

How about everyone on coacht banning together for the interest of these students and e-mail TSSAA in support of allowing the kids to transfer if the school system and county commissioners can't do the responsible thing.

Again, just an idea....

 

 

That would be nice, but what about the students who are not athletes? Are they just supposed to sit at home and do nothing? And what about the districts the kids transfer to? Can they handle the overload, and are they willing to spend money on out-of-district students?

 

Of course, if mom and dad move out of the district, the kid would be eligible at his new school. And if I were a parent in Cumberland County, I would be seriously considering moving. /motorbike.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":motorbike:" border="0" alt="motorbike.gif" />

You bring up some good points. I was just offering up an idea, and of course there are probably more details other than the ones you have pointed out. Maybe just contacting the school board members and county commissioners of Cumberland County would be the best idea. Of course they would probably tell us it was none of our business (the ones outside of Cumberland County), but maybe by doing so, it would draw so much publicity that it would force their hand to do something other than what they are doing.

 

Wouldn't this in some way violate the No Child Left Behind Act if it continued very long? I don't know, maybe someone could do some research or might know enough about it to answer this question. I do know that if there was something I could do, I would be doing it. These students are being punished (although they probably enjoy the extra time away from school).

BREAKING NEWS: County mayor sues school board

By Gary Nelson / gnelson@crossville-chronicle.com

 

Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill has filed a lawsuit in Chancery Court against the Cumberland County Board of Education.

 

According to the suit that was filed Thursday at 2:20 p.m., Hill alleges that the special-called meeting the school board held Aug. 8 was in violation of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) 8-44-101 et. seq. (often called "The Sunshine Law") and is therefore improper and illegal without adequate public notice.

 

The suit alleges the special-called meeting was called by the Cumberland County director of schools and not the chairman of the BOE. This meeting was the meeting in which the BOE made the decision to postpone the opening of Cumberland County schools for the 2008-'09 school year.

 

In the suit, Hill also alleges that the action of that meeting the students and citizens of Cumberland County have been irreparably harmed.

 

The suit also seeks the Cumberland County Board of Education to "revert to its previously and lawfully established school calendar and begin the 2008 school term immediately."

 

Hill was not available for comment.

 

Please check the Crossville Chronicle Web site over the weekend for updates on this breaking news story and read the complete story in Tuesday's Crossville Chronicle.

Thanks for all the support from coach T members! Every town has a village idiot, I guess Oneida's is ask_me.

 

Brumfield I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. On behalf of many fans in Oneida, we are sorry that ask_me got on this thread and posted what he did. He claims to be a supporter of us, but we are SURE he is not affiliated in any way. He has jumped on many threads and bashed many teams. Please do not think Oneida fans act this way because THEY DON"T.

 

As for the school situation, I for one hope everything works out and the kids get back in school and get back to playing sports. I can't imagine what you all are going through. I think youns need a new ELECTION and quick!!!

The news in Knoxville reported tonight that one of the school board members resigned with only a few weeks left in his term. Is there an election coming up in Cumberland County? Maybe its time for some write-in candidates. They also reported that there would be a meeting Saturday to see if they could operate on the bare minimum.

All of the board members and elected people in the local government should be forced to resign. This is absolutely ridiculous and will eventually garnish (if it hasn't already) national attention. Shame on everyone who has a hand in this.

This is one of the most stupidest things I've heard in a long time!!! How can a person live with themselves, knowing that they have robbed these young men and women of there chance in the lights???!!! What is holding them back from doing it anyways?

    • Marion just jumped ER as the favorites in the East. Two big time transfers for y’all kinfolks. Bullseye has been set now. I said it the last two years it is time and both times y’all let me down. Can’t say you’re short on talent this year or that you’re young. Time to put up or shut up. Surely y’all can get over the hump this year. I’m just keeping it real
    • Should have won by 30 last year if we played discipline at the very least. May have got 2 dogs up front but remember we have the best DL in the state on our team. Also added a 6’6” 320lb O lineman.
    • Marion County boys just got two DOGS. Y’all East Robertson folks better buckle your chin straps this year. They gonna have something for Groves up front this year. I’m just keeping it real 
    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
