WOW!!! The things that are said on this board like they are facts are unbelievable. These are the facts. His parents did move here but they lived over 20 miles from Grace. He had played in a state association in florida before moving here. The rule is if he played for another state association prior to moving here he would have to live within 20 miles of the school so it was a violation. Grace was not aware of this rule (which they should have been) and when they found out they self reported it to the TSSAA. What action the TSSAA will take I dont know but I am sure something will be done. He was from Florida but never played for pridemore. It was a mistake and Grace SELF reported it. If they were trying to intentionally break the rules as has been suggested I dont think they would have self reported it. Thats the truth you can choose to believe it or not.

 

yes WOW, this insident was reported to the administration before the state tourn,the real loser in this is coach K and the kids from rockwood,GCA should have baled out like responsible people and let the rightful team go,Im sure I'm wrong about this also......

It's always easy to say what someone should have done after it has already been determined that their actions were not appropriate. The fact of the matter is that no one really knows how they would've reacted to this situation. They were caught between a rock and a hard place because they wanted to do what was right for the players that had worked so hard to make it to that point and report the violation to TSSAA...not an easy position to be in. Most people would've done the same thing.

I really think you should get a better source for your information because yes you are wrong about this also. Grace found out about this violation more than two weeks after the state tourn. It was discovered while speaking to TSSAA about about an unrelated issue and then was IMMEDIATLEY reported. If grace would have discovered it before like you have said it would have been reported then and the player would not have been able to compete. Again those are the facts you can choose to believe them or not but please make sure you check your info before posting out of hate.

this is not about hate,this is about right and wrong,if the kid is illegal all you have accomplished took from other kids and other programs who did it the right way,call it hate but it is still cheating other kids,wannamaker was also illegal,you cannot transfer unless you live with both parents,the kid from fla was illegal,you say the other kids worked hard but without pridgeon you all would not have won so many games,you all ask for respect then this stuff keeps coming out,you get mad when people say you all recruit,then we find out you all play illegal kids.its not hate just look at all the other teams that were worthy of going to the state tourn.you said the PLAYER would not have been able to compete in the state,everything you all accomplished was done illegally......i dont blame coaches for being leary of this program.you dont get to sucsess that quick in single a basketball.

Who cares about other teams? As a true competitor I would want to beat the best, and if the other team cheated then I would want to beat them even more. Its not like we are talking about paying a kid to play, this is a kid that wanted to play for a coach. He is just a kid, and they should of let him play. If anything, Grace did the other teams they played before state a favor. It kept them from spending a lot of money to go to the Boro and get dog stomped.

Prep extra released the story that they must forfiet all wins during the time the player played during the second semester and pay back some money and fined. That really stinks for the teams the competed against. Now we will never know how it would have played out it is was done right!!!

    • Great to meet you too.  We're going to work hard to get back.  
    • I extend my gratitude to ManCoverage for initiating this discussion thread tailored to the residents of Trousdale County. In times of adversity within our football team, it is imperative to have an outlet for expression, and what better platform than CoachT's Craigslist forum? I respectfully request that GOAT exercise discretion in his commentary, as his remarks have caused me personal distress.
    • I am inclined to wager a substantial portion of my financial assets on the likelihood that Waggoner shall transition to an alternative coaching vocation prior to the year 2028. It is my contention that discerning individuals are beginning to perceive his coaching prowess as lacking in the requisite excellence. Allow me to articulate the following assertion: Waggoner represents a markedly superior choice compared to the individual who perpetrated the act of fuel theft.   This individual exhibits a conspicuous propensity for frequent professional transitions, a trait which undermines his credibility and renders him an untenable choice for serious consideration. It is indeed confounding that his candidacy continues to garner attention and support.
    • Yeah same   It’s definitely true that tough times make tough kids, but some kids just have a big passion for the game and will become the best of the best no matter where they come from.
