Inagural Adidas Middle Tennessee Senior All Star Classic Announced

[buc1973]

Yeah I know the physical makeup of Tennessee. I teach geography. So, you've asked what middle Tennesse meant. I gave you the districts, and you've replied with a geography lesson. What are you asking?

 

Middle Tennessee defined by TSSAA is not the same as Wikipedia. But I am sure the organizers may listen to your wish to include your school.

Not that I have a dog in the hunt either, but district 6AAA includes Cumberland County High School. Their cross- town school, Stone Memorial, however, is not in one of the districts listed.

How does that work?

Chattanooga area has a postseason all-star game vs players from North Georgia, part of a series in several sports-football, basketball, volleyball, softball, soccer too I believe.

 

Stone goes east in their district but if someone is a possibility for this game, they would probably be considered if their name and credentials are submitted.

Middle Tennessee has distinct boundaries and is legally defined: Definition of Middle Tennessee per wikipedia.

Just another example of why people don't try to help these kids ! Every time someone tries to help , there are parents griping about it before it ever gets started. Give these people a break ! Let them do their thing, their way, and if you don't like it.... step up and have your own. Just a thought.

You have to draw a line somewhere so the organizers just looked at the TSSAA classification (District/Region)lists. The question is why is a two schools in the same county not in the same district? I'll bet the selection committee would give a serious look to a Stone kid, especially if the numbers of players come into question.

 

Here is a question to you: Who is the kid or kids at Stone who are seniors who you think should be considered? I gave you the contact for the nominations. Send him an email with a nomination and contact information.

Like I said, I honestly don't have a dog in this hunt. I was just curious. Stone is AA and CCHS is AAA. That's first and foremost why they're not in the same district. CCHS plays an Upper Cumberland district schedule while Stone went East and plays with Knoxville area teams. ( CAK, Alcoa, Loudon, Kingston, etc...)

Great, let FC be the first to start the bidding process. Nowhere on here was any mention of players other than being nominated by their coaches through the event director. Way to go, just a little self-serving as usual. What about the rest of the lineup?

Come on Haderade, don't hate, appreciate. The "t" is for discussions like these, right?

After all, The event coordinator knows these 3 FC kids. He's watched them for 4 years across the diamond from his TC squad. But you might want to throw out your SC boys names. With their 1 decent year being this one not too many may know of them.

You guys really do miss out on the point, don't you. COACHES send in their nominations. Didn't see anything on the original post about player campaigns, but leave it to you guys at FC to bring it down. With such a great program, tradition, and players, maybe after nominations and selections, another thread may begin on topic. And I don't have a dog in the hunt ("your SC boys"). I'll leave that to those that nominate and can follow instructions. If their coaches feel they deserve it, they'll get it. And really, you think those 3 are all that warrant consideration??

The rest of the FCS line up are Juniors or sophomores. The game is a "senior" classic. The rest of the FC team will fill the roster for next years game. Per the thread the coaches nomminate SENIORS to participate in case you missed that part.

The main part is you guys got the names out there... well done. SC has 10 seniors and if the coaches feel they earned it, they'll be nominated. This thread began with nothing about player campaigns, which thankfully others seemed to have understood. What "hader" may have missed, the rest of us didn't.

No names were mentioned by myself in this thread. Simply stating the fact that the 3 players from FC listed were in fact seniors. also I hope that no coach wouldn't be on this sight to see who the public thought needed to be nominated. It should be by merit, stats, and ability....not popular opinion.....or the negative opinion of those that hate FCS. Truly the kids at FC are in a no win situation. If they do great then it is because the "baseball community" says they recruit...it they do poorly then the "baseball community" says "see they can't hack it with the big dogs".... The FCS players are a good group of boys that work hard and play hard...just like ALL the other teams around....we just get held to a different standard...by those who love to hate. Good luck to ALL the 2012 seniors no matter what school they attend.

 

BY THE WAY... My tax dollars pay for your kid to attend public school and have the facility that your kid plays ball in. I CHOSE to sacrifice my disposable income on my kid and not myself to give him a great education and have different opportunities at FCS.
