Still upset that East Hamilton charges $3 to park

They charge admission as well? Seems as though a parking fee should be part of an admissions price as well....gone are the days of free high school games.

 

I'm sure the admission price for post-season games is set by the TSSAA. However, I also disagree with the TSSAA charging $6.00 for each "body" that attends the games. Several people I know had to pay the $6.00 for their toddlers and infants. :roflol:

 

East Hamilton was just taking advantage of hosting the game and decided to fleece the fans of the participating schools by charging $3.00 to park.

I didn't think they could "legally" charge for parking on a Public school property...I thought it had to be a Donation...

 

Exactly.....which is why I asked the guy if it was mandatory. He shifted his eyes and said yes, then tried to say it had something to do with the TSSAA. I told his that was BS and wanted to argue with him more but the spouse just handed him the $3.00 because a cop was coming over there and there was a line of vehicles behind us. I'm so stubborn that I would have pulled to the side to argue my case with him and the cop.

I wrote an e-mail letter this morning to East Hamilton's Principal, Mrs. Pam Dantzler (dantzler_p@hcde.org). I hope many other's do too.

Ok that's insanity. Ya'll need to band together up there and get this reversed. If this happened in our region, there would be an uproar!!! Power to the people!!!

Ok first of all I was also asked to pay the $3 dollars to park and when I asked if it was a donation they said yes without hesitation??? And further more if your were not happy or misinformed the concession stand gave you your money back!! A lot of schools do this as a fund raiser! Tyner I believe does it for the band and Brainerd does it also. It is nothing really new because we were at Volleyball state in 2008 and Siegle charged everyone $5 dollars to park!!!

 

I agree there should have been signs!! And I hope they do that next time!

That's not what I was told. Maybe after I lectured the guy, he realized they could get in trouble, thus what he told you. And obviously I was never told I could get any money back from the concessions, since he stated it as a parking charge.

 

It's not the money, it's the principle with me. And the guy basically lied to me, then when questioned he tried to blame it on being a TSSAA thing.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
