TSSAA strips Signal Mountain of its six wins

[Yeehaw]

Both wrong. Real Men have their wives push mowers, clean the house, cook dinner and then, well got to leave that off here.

 

Touche'

I didn't see Brainerd listed on that form. What's up with that?

 

 

100+ students managed to get to Ooltewah from the Brainerd zone even if the form didn't have the destination school listed, I doubt it would have been a problem had the family wanted Ooltewah.

Welcome to Hamilton County. But parents for at least 130 kids figured out how to get from Brainerd to Ooltewah.

So how come the McClendon kid couldn't?

LOL I responded at the same time. It wasn't a problem just kinda funny Hamilton County can't even get their forms right. Good thing the TSSAA does.

He didn't want to go to Ooltewah not sure the reasons. His mom applied for and received a hardship from Hamilton County Board of Education to come to SM.

Seems reasonable enough. Mom: "My son lives a mile away from Brainerd. But it would be a real hardship for him to attend school there. Got anywhere else?" School Board: "Well, we have Ooltewah, a few miles away." Mom: "That would be a hardship too." School Board: "How about Howard, that's downtown." Mom: "Hardship." School Board: "Well, all we have left is Signal Mountain. But to get there, he's gotta go downtown, cross the Tennessee River, climb that mountain, and drive deep into the woods. It's a good 40 minutes from your house, if there's no traffic." Mom: "Now that's NOT a hardship!"

Wow this hasn't been posted before. You are so smart. Not!!! Brainerd failing school, Howard failing school. So Ooltewah or SM. Ooltewah is 15 miles away and SM is 16 miles away and one is the top preforming school in the county. But it wasn't an issue of distance there were reasons they chose SM and HCDE agreed with them. If HCDE hadn't agreed with them he would be going somewhere else. So why not direct your anger about him attending SM toward them. The Administration/coaches of SM sure didn't approve his hardship.

Now that's funny. So Ooltewah and Signal Mtn schools are about the same drive from the kid's alleged home? With creative directions like that, you should be a NY cabbie.

Im a old man,this stuff has been going on before i was in school.I got out in 1982,thats almost thirty years.Schools,coaches and parents have been trying to get around,these rules for a long time.....So you can not tell me that your Administration/AD and coaches do not know these rules inside out and how they work.....Man up and stop trying to put it on someone else, its on SM and SM only........I already told ya how the zone, territory thing work.The HCDE hardship is for going to school not playing sports,SM KNOWS THIS....The tssaa is for sports only one does not over ride the other.

Wasn't talking about his eligibility. They were complaining about him coming to SM and that's a HCDE thing not SM. As for the eligibility issue that is a SM and TSSAA issue.
