TSSAA messes up again.....George Quarles may not be able to Coach in the all american bowl and Matthew Pyke may not be able to play in the 8th grade all american bowl. Matthew Pyke is a Clinton Middle School O lineman that was accepted to the Junior All american bowl and has been named one of the top three O lineman coming out of Middle school in the nation. George Quarles is one of the best coaches in the nation and has been nominated as one of the head coaches for the High school all american game. Nither of these guys may not be able to enjoy the all american bowl because the Tssaa is behind the times compared to other states. If Pyke was to play he may have to sit out a season if the Tssaa doesnt approve them going. I know that Coach Quarles is meeting with the TSSAA on thrusday to try to get this approved. This would be a shame for a outstanding Coach and one of the best middle school lineman in America was not able to participate in this game. What are your thoughts?

it's funny that everyone is in an uproar over this. We have had high school seniors who have not been able to play in the AFLAC senior baseball game for several years now. Now they are not being selected for this prestigious honor because AFLAC does not want to fly them to California when TSSAA says they can't play or have to miss their senior year of baseball. We have screamed for a couple of years now on the baseball site about this.

This is garbage. For TN to be seen as even close to other states in terms of football strength then we must have representatives at these prestigious events. Coach Quarles being selected to coach here is huge and for TSSAA to stand in the way is completely out of order. They are like the Soviets keeping their best gymnist out of the olympics just because. I live in Hermitage maybe I should go speak to TSSAA. :shock:

Somebody needs to remind the T$$AA reps and board they can be FIRED just like any politician! dry.gif

 

This game does nothing but promote the State of Tn and its football programs and provides more scholarships than the T$$AA does for kids. Same goes for the Aflac game in Baseball.

 

Can we all tell I am about FED UP with the T$$AA!?!? :shock:

Problem is they turned down baseball last year for Sonny Gray even with a lawyer present so I don't think they will overrule it, too close to lawsuit if they made exception.

 

I hope they do because we have several baseball players who should be AFLAC if they change it. If not, they will be honorable mention and can only watch it on tv.

    • 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.
