Middle School Football playoff info

Recommended Posts

Crestview beat Brighton on Monday (10/21) to remain undefeated, and the PA announcer said that they would be playing a team from Memphis in the sectional playoffs this Saturday, either White Station Middle or another Memphis team (can't remember who) at 1:30 PM in Covington.

 

I also saw this posted on another message board:

 

The Inman Middle School Bulldogs are coming to Memphis this Saturday to play Lester Middle School in the West Tennessee Sectional Championship game, 1pm at Melrose. Our High School team is undefeated and ranked #1 (5A) in the state, and our middle school is undefeated as well. I know NOTHING about Lester, but they've made it to the championship game so it should be a good one. Fun group of kids to watch.

 

So, I assume that there are playoff brackets, etc. Somebody has to have that info.

Crestview wins 42-21 over White Station. Sectional champs, I guess. Someone said state champs, but how could that be if only W Tn schools were involved? And, the TSSAA website said they don't recognize any state champs.

 

So, I guess my question is moot. Season ends with the Chargers undefeated. Looking forward to seeing those players in high school next year.

TMSAA has specific rules concerning middle school football.

1. If your team is not a member school then none of this matters.

2. If your team played 8 regular season games then they are only allowed 1 postseason game.

3. A sanctioned middle school team can at most play 9 games.

4. A sanctioned middle school team can only play one post season game. (Even if they only played 7 regular season games)

5. There are no state playoffs for sanctioned TMSAA schools.

6. Revert to #1. Eligibility rules for players such as transfers, age, grade repeaters and games played do not apply.

 

So.... if your middle school team played more than 9 games and they are sanctioned then they are in violation. If they are not a member school then they could have 16 and 17 year olds out there playing. Either way there is no such thing as a TMSAA middle school state champ. You can call it what you want but its only on paper. Hope this helps.

 

*Just checked. Crestview is indeed a member school. I hope this doesn't nullify any post season championship. Hopefully their record was at best 9-0 or they only played one game after the regular season.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
