WHY DON,T WE HAVE A DRUG TESTING POLICY IN PLACE? WE HEAR ALL THE TIME ABOUT OTHER SCHOOLS KIDS BEING CALLED UP FOR A SCREEN . WHETHER IT BE RANDOM OR SUSPICION LET,S GET WITH THE PROGRAM. IT BRING,S PRIDE TO YOUR TEAM,SELF CONFIDENCE,AND UNITY.

LET,S CALL OUR SCHOOL BOARD AND TELL THEM WE WANT OUR DRUG TESTING POLICY BACK! THIS IS CRITICAL TO AN ATHLETIC PROGRAM. WE HAVE STUDENT ATHLETES THAT WORK THERE TAIL OFF AND STAY STRAIGHT AND REALLY CARE ,AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME THAT DON,T AND I, SURE THIS IS EVERYWHERE. JUST ONE MORE STEP TO ENSURE WE HAVE DEVOTED PLAYERS AND TO BUILD CONFIDENCE AMONG THERE TEAM..

I think that this dad needs to call his school board members and find out just what is going on. Mandatory drug testing was ruled a violation of the student athlete's civil rights in an opinion handed down by the State Attorney General. The AG and the state legislation are working to clarify the language around this issue so that school systems in Tennessee can enforce mandatory drug testing without opening themselves up to costly lawsuits. Unicoi County still does have a Drug Policy in place but are choosing at this time not to enforce it due to the threat of a Civil Lawsuit. Unicoi County is not alone in this. Other counties are putting their policies on hold until the state works out the language in the code.

 

If this dad is that concerned, he should pick up the phone and call the State Attorney General and tell him to get on the ball and so we can enforce drug testing. We have a very competent Board of Education and Director of Schools. They are top of this issue and are working diligently with the state for a resolution. If that does not satisfy the BlueDevilDad, maybe he should run for a position on the school board and see what he can get done.

    • Sounds like y'all got a lot of bodies to choose from. We lost 2 really good seniors and have 4 from Junior High that has moved up. That will give us 12 starting summer camps. As you know we all have to stay healthy. Proud Alexander and Micah are going to play together at Bethel. They were really fun to watch at the All Star game in Murfreesboro. They have real good chemistry together on the floor. 
    • Baxter will do what they most always do.....at a minimum produce at least 9 Ws and run into at least the 2nd round.....Booger actually enjoyed seein them in the Gold Ball contest last season.... Booger just sayin 
    • Catholic North will provide them both a decent contest Booger just sayin 
    • Well personally I see us going 9-1 so that isn't doom and gloom to me , Most people are thinking 6-4. Bearden will be the possible loss but hoping not. I was very impressed with what I saw this spring. 
    • the kid you are speaking about, played in JV games,  2H half Science Hill game, split time in Hardin Valley and Bearden and that was it.   The upcoming Senior RB was All Region as a Junior and is regarded by the media as one of the top running backs in East TN for 2024 season. Scouting services have him as a top 10 back in the state.  Something aint adding up with gloom and doom. Maybe he was hurt and not at spring practice when you watched?
