BillVol Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 They're in Mississippi for crying out loud. It should be in the By-Laws or constitution that a school must be in Tennessee to be in the TSSAA. This is absurd. Just as absurd as when we had Tennessee state championship softball games played in the state of Mississippi. Should be a rule against that, too.

nununu Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well initially, the school was in Memphis, but moved their campus to Southhaven, which is considered part of the Memphis metropolitain area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheels Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Well initially, the school was in Memphis, but moved their campus to Southhaven, which is considered part of the Memphis metropolitain area. My recollection is that initially SBEC was kicked out when they moved to Mississippi. I understand that the provision under which they came back permits membership to a school that was formerly a TSSAA member that has relocated out of state, as long as the majority of students are Tennessee residents. On a related and interesting matter, Fort Campbell High School, which has won a couple of state football championships in Kentucky in recent years, is actually located in Tennessee.

BobcatFan22 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 other interesting facts Navajo Mountain HS(Tonalea, Arizona) Plays in the Utah HSAA Needles High School(Needles California) plays in the Nevada HSAA Coleyville HS(Coleyville, California) plays in the Nevada HSAA North Tahoe HS(Tahoe City, California) plays in the Nevada HSAA Truckee HS(Truckee, California) plays in the Nevada HSAA South Tahoe HS(South Lake Tahoe, California) plays in the Nevada HSAA these are mainly due to their proximity to teams in the other states HSAA, and the LONG travels they usualy would have to make in their host state, there are a few others but i cant remember them off the top of my head.

Trojan Fan Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I can't answer why SBEC was allowed in. You'd have to ask the TSSAA to get that answer. I will give you some detailed background on why SBEC prefers the TSSAA at this point. Follow the link to an old thread on the subject. http://tennessee.coacht.com/boards/index.p...#entry826864644 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dominated and I am sure that Sbec did as well and wanted better competition and not 5 hour bus rides on a school night. Private schools they play are all within an hour drive. Makes perfect sense. They beat us in softball. What's the big deal? DII needed them last year for the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
