I was told last night that there are 3 schools in the same situation with kids living outside the county playing for Sumner County teams. This person at BHS also told me this is not illegal and has gone on for years.

 

Living outside of the county and attending a Sumner County school in itself is not illegal.  The question comes in using an actual address and going through the right channels to get there, clearance through TSSAA for eligibility, etc.  Did the said players participate at their zoned school last year?  There's a lot more to it than do they live in the county.

I heard the same thing a couple of days ago. Not sure of the validity, but heard there were a few players zoned for metro that are using another student's address in Hendersonville. I have no idea if that's the case or who the alleged players are. What I do know is we certainly don't need another scenario like last year. I will also say that if it is true, I have no doubt Hatfield was UNaware.

One thing, last year the director of schools made it clear that Station Camp was not going to get brought down by Gallatin or ANY Sumner Co school and the principal was forced to withdraw the issue from the TSSAA. It was never a question of if the facts were correct or not. This situation has been treated likewise by Dr. Phillips. It is widely known by several schools. You can thank someone in metro for that. This is not a new issue.

How many claim residence actually in Sumner Co? That is the question.

    • Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl
    • I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.
    • Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton
    • My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
    • I understand Gibson Co. will be announced tomorrow with a familiar name. Not sure about So. Gibson.
