Smeagle, TSSAA doesn't care what zone HCBE says he is in. It cares only if the house he resides in is within the SM school zone. I can go to the county's web site and input any address in Hamilton county and it will tell me what schools it is zoned for. If TSSAA did contact the BOE it would be to verify that the address listed on the eligibility form was within the schools geographic school zone as stated on the form. Clearly a house in Brainerd is nowhere close to Signal mountain.

 

Who gets to make up the territories? Also just like you say SM should have called the TSSAA shouldn't the TSSAA have called the HCDE and asked what zone. Of course not it's different right. Well we don't believe it's any different. :thumb:

 

And apparently there are a lot of other schools across the state that feel the same as us. You might want to call the Greeneville administrator and ask their opinion. You might start singing a different tune if you did. Just saying' :roflolk:

Travel expenses and meals for the board and any support staff needed to convene could run several thousand dollars...depending on how well they like to eat...

 

It will probably be based on the state rate for hotels, per diem and what ever travel is these days multiplied by however many people so it could hit that.

Transfers between schools for whatever reason happen daily. I bet there are few reasons TSSAA hasn't seen. While reasons are relevant, how a school system classifies a hardship transfer is irrelevant. That is precisely the reason TSSAA goes out of their way to define the zone as a geographic territory. HCBE isn't appeaing this ruling and has no standng in the proceedngs aside from being a material witness. This will be a hearing about procedure, not intent. There is no "but we thought" defense. Athletes transfer between schools all the time...it is a common occurance. If all us dumb old hicks in Greeneville can figure out how to file the appropriate paperwork, surely the administration of a nationally acclaimed, award winning, academic institution of excellence like Signal Mountain can.

A hardship transfer does not redefine a school zone...Greeneville administrators have been dealing with ooz athletes for many years and there have been plenty of good athletes there that have had to sit a season to be eligible...Willie Carmichael included. You almost never see a ooz transfer in Greene County in a kids senior year unless there is bonafide hardship and the school's AD is doing a disservice to that kid if he doesn't explain to the kid and his parents that there is a chance that TSSAA might reject the hardship request. If SM is going to welcome ooz hardship transfers to participate in athletics, they had better get proficient in processing those students or they are in for alot of grief.

why would they do that when they aren't an official state entity? the bylaws state the schools must pick up the expenses if they lose the appeal but don't specify any limits.

Maybe the TSSAA will wait until after the first round of the playoffs to respond to the request. :roflolk:

yeah being educated and having a good paying job really does stink <_< . Anyway, didnt this kid go to LFO? what is the ruling on kids from out of state?

If he had moved into Signal Mtn school zone instead of Brainerd he would have been eligible. The problem is his OOZ enrollment in SM.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.

      school closing in Shelby county

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
