In the wake of tragedies involving students at the school, Chuckey-Doak elected to forfeit its Region 1 soccer semifinal match with Greeneville.

 

The match was scheduled for Tuesday, but the team did not feel it was the best time to play. The two schools considered moving the match to tonight, but upon further discussion, the Lady Knights voted to end their season.

 

"I talked to the girls, and we decided we didn't want to play," said Chuckey-Doak coach Anna Ricker. "We voted as a team, and it was unanimous. With the tragedies we've had, we just didn't want to play. We wish Greeneville the best."

 

With the win, Greeneville advances to Thursday night's region championship and Sub-State on Saturday.

 

Greeneville coach John Eiskamp said the Lady Devils hate to take a free pass rather than give Chuckey-Doak its chance to advance.

 

"Given the situation, I certainly understand," Eiskamp said. "Anna and I talked at length, and it was left up to her and her team. Our thoughts are with their team during this time of loss."

 

Tuesday's other semifinal between Elizabethton and University High was also postponed because of weather. That game will be played tonight.

 

The region final is set for Thursday, but there is some question about exactly who will host.

 

According to the TSSAA, the finalist from District 1 (Elizabethton or University High) will host the championship match. It was voted upon at the region coaches' preseason meeting and decided that the highest seeded team (Greeneville) will host.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
