No, but it is the TSSAA's fault that they screwed up the bracket and left Sullivan South out of the playoffs in the first place. And it's also their fault that they didn't fix their mistake and re-do the quads the way they should have been done, which would mean placing Sullivan South in their rightful position (Quad 1).

 

Wow, I looked at it finally-And this wasn't fixed? This goes completely against the method that's supposed to be used. Geography is used to place the teams in quads, first, regardless of records or district finishes, or at least it's supposed to be that way.

what you have got to be kiddin ! i think TSSAA SHOULD 1 PAY FOR THE FUEL 2 PUT THEM UP FOR THE NIGHT 3 GIVE THEM FREE HBO IN THERE ROOMS ! THIS IS PATHETIC !

this is just some of the print from the tennessean staff----Childress also apologized to Sullivan South that it was left out and that it would have to go into Quad 2 as a No. 8 seed. Sullivan South will travel six hours to Columbia on Friday, instead of playing in Quad 1, where it should have been placed by geography.

"It's been real frustrating," Sullivan South athletics director Anthony Richards said. "We needed about seven or eight things to happen to make the playoffs even without that North Carolina team winning that 11th game, and seven of those things happened and we thought we were in.

"If we had stayed in our quadrant, we probably would have been at Morristown West, which is about 45 minutes away, instead of going five and a half or six hours away. They could have just flip-flopped us and Knoxville Central."

Childress said no other changes were made to make sure even more teams weren't affected by the mistake.

The TSSAA is paying Sullivan South's expenses for Friday's trip to Columbia (8-2). kudos to tssaa for steping up and paying for there mistakes!
