Sequatchie Co. vs. Signal Mnt. (Oct.28)

[FOOTBALLFAN66]

I'm amazed at some of the posts I read from Signal Mtn supporters. This whole smelly affair is laughable.

 

1. Student attends (since 8th grade) Orchard Knob Middle, Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe (GA), Hixson, Howard, Brainerd, LFO (again) and now Signal. His home address: never changed. Always in Brainerd area.

 

2. During same time period, Teacher-coach "mentor" teaches at Orchard Knob Middle, Sequatchie County, LFO and now Signal. He was not rehired in BOTH Sequatchie and Catoosa Counties.

 

3. Somehow, this uncertified "teacher" miraculously gets hired in summer 2011 at the great Signal Mtn High School, the world-class school of excellence. I wonder if there were more qualified, certified applicants?

 

4. By coincidence, just two weeks after LFO spring game in which student played, this uncertified "teacher" just happens to bring along this 6-3, 230 pound football standout, who "fears for his safety," and "can't get a good education" at LFO (an outstanding school with great test scores...but a not-so-great football program)

 

5. The "teacher" goes to central office, requests and is granted a "hardship" for this athlete, I mean football star. School Board member for Signal Mtn. is Chip Baker, a Signal football parent.

 

6. Two weeks after LFO spring game, student writes on his Facebook page, "I am going to Signal Mountain to play football." What? I thought it was about reading and math.

 

Meanwhile, the Signal faithful post on Internet boards that the student "is on track to graduate with honors from Signal Mountain." Which would come as a huge surprise to people at his previous schools, who say he rarely came to class, was usually tardy when he did come to school, and reportedly didn't earn many credits.

 

Frankly, it's hard for me to sympathize with Signal, for its brazen disregard of rules and sportsmanship, or this student, who despite being far more physically gifted than many inner-city students, has allowed himself to become a pawn of ill-advised parents, "mentors" and coaches, who have jeopardized his future. There are needy students with far fewer "mentors," advantages and supporters who will graduate in 2012 because they have attended their zoned school, showed up for class, and not tried to circumvent the rules.

 

This board is insane! Wanted to see what all the fuss was about... "Google is a wonderful tool Mr. Jinx"

 

This kid looks like he ate Eddie George! I'm not surprised that no one has replied to this post, its spot on.

Next friday, Sequatchie Co. is having their 2nd annual alumni game this Friday night at 7, otherwise I would be down at Beene stadium with all the Pirate faithful

Just remember, everytime they point their fingure 3 is pointing back.

 

Enough with this crap. This thread is about the football game not the blame game.

 

2 Weeks of reading the same crap on every thread is lame and boring. You bought it wear it and move on.

I give you a 1+ for this. Plenty of time to discuss the game. Wish these hosers would get back over on the Signal appeal thread, so I can reply to some of their stupid comments. I won't do it on this thread.

 

I would like to say here that women like the blevins lady is what made me a misogynist.

 

Let me axe you a question. Do you think I need a police escort to Dunlap, or will the Troll Mobile suffice?

I'm getting it fitted with some .50's just in case.

MT, go to the appeal thread and read my post and see what you think about it.

The boy had a hardship to attend SM and set out for 12 months from varisity participation just like the Howard kids on NCLB. Next question.

Soooo.. If the admin at SMMHS knew the rules concerning transfer of the kid from Hwy 58 and the ones from Howard, how is it that they suddenly have no clear understanding of the rules with the kid from LFO?

Take it to the appeal thread, please.
