The TSSAA wishes to issue the following statement in the aftermath of its botched video football playoff announcement this morning.

 

“We heard about something not going right and that a lot of people might have been inconvenienced by something this morning.  This is not the first time that we’ve inconvenienced a lot of people and it will not be the last.  The decision to try to video the brackets was a judgment call and our bylaws do not allow us to accept any responsibility for anything especially when judgment is involvedâ€, commended Executive Director Childress.

 

Executive Director Childress went on to say that the 50-50 gate playoff split was still in effect.  “Despite the Association having $3 million in cash, making a half a million a year and one of the highest paid executive staffs around, you just never know when you’ll need a little extra cashâ€.  “Yes we know that some programs can’t afford trainers and basic stuff, but when you spend a lot of money you need a lot of moneyâ€. 

 

Childress concluded by encouraging fans to support their teams “wherever we may send themâ€.

The arrogance by the TSSAA is downright offensive. Even when it is obvious that they are way over their heads, they refuse to take any responsibility. Something needs to be done

    • A perfect example is for athletes at Clinton High School. I will completely understand, and hopefully everyone should understand why they want to, and as of right now, it looks like that’s going to happen in numbers over the summer.
    • I mean, that’s easy to say when it hasn’t happened to your school that often, if at all, but yeah, I think everybody should be for the student athlete or player. Whatever they think will help them or their athletic career, I feel like they should be able to do that, even if that means transferring schools. Now I don’t really get that when you have almost every offer you could want and then jump ship, but what can I say? I guess money talks. 
    • I for one am all for it. 
    • Covid killed the city because they chose not to play football in the 2020 season. Therefore, kids weren't able to practice and develop, and continuing to lift weights. Memphis basically had 7/8 graders, skipping a year, then playing 9/10 high school football. Now, there's only one team that has made a "dent" which will be Southwind (made it to the 5A semifinals last year).  If you want to go more suburbs, then it'll be Houston, which won the 6A state title, defeating Oakland Other than that, I agree.
    • It will be hard opening up a restaurant and coaching a High School Football team at the same time but he did take this job as an interm coach to stop the bleed. The program is in scorched earth mode right now and could drop down to the likes of Scott County, Campbell County and Karns if they lose most of their kids out of this.
