In Memphis the host school is selected in alphabetical order and a lot of schools pass on hosting it. The problem comes, especially in 1A, with fiancés. Most of our teams are charter schools with low enrollment. Most schools go in the hole hosting because of security. The games are not well attended. Two years ago we hosted the district and the regional and w lost over $1300 because of security. You are mandated to have 7 officers at $27 per hour for each game. We had to eat that loss. This year we have a few sponsors for the district and we are hoping the regional draws a larger crowd. So to all 15A teams please come out and support.

Just called Manassas to get brackets for 16AA boys. It appears they are playing a girls game and a boys game each night this week. Boys are at 7:30 so girls must be at 6:00. Boys games this week are:

 

Tue- Westwood vs Trezevant

Wed.- Manassas vs Raleigh Egypt

Thu.- Douglas vs Craigmont

Fri.- Sheffield vs Frayser/Fairley winner

@Galilee, thanks for the information.  Wow, I see why they would pass it up.  Regular attendance games do not have a high capacity of attendance, as it is, and most of the time, people coming to tournaments generally come just to see their supported school play or maybe high profile player/school rivalry type games.  It varies if they stay for any other games.  

 

So to take it a step further, does the hosting school keep all the proceeds (mostly speaking about ticket sales) since they put up the money for the tournament or does TSSAA require that a percentage be distributed among the participating schools.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
