The TSSAA rendered decisions Wednesday, February 10th, against Shelbyville Central High School and Lawrence County High School regarding the February 5th post game incident. Executive Director of the TSSAA, Bernard Childress notified Principal Michael Adkins that the Basketball program at LCHS has been placed on probation for two years effective immediately with fines totaling $1,000.00. The probationary period does not affect post season play of either team.

 

“We accept responsibility for our involvement in the unfortunate incident that transpired last Friday night. Our focus has been and will remain on the success both of our teams are enjoying this season. Coach Scott and Coach Clark prepared their teams last week for tough district games and the players executed the game plans. The incident that took place after the game should not overshadow the accomplishments of these young men and women,” stated Principal Michael Adkins.

Ok bleacher creatures you had your little meeting with the administration and now you have your new rules for Friday night in Ptown. Go ahead and work on the creativity, make it funny cause I havent been to many home games this year so make it worth my wild. Just in case the game gets out of hand one way or the other, score wise that is. This is not an overly agressive Bobcat bunch so it is hard to get them mad. Still pulling for them BOBCATS though, I feel like this week a little wind has been taken from your sails.
