6AAA Freshman/Soph Games starting

[Tenntwin]

They had a couple of options. They had options to start the game with five players and finish with 4. Stone and their coaches agreed to allow a Soph to play, but it was denied by CCHS.

[SportsBuildCharacter]

Why would they deny this? Did they give the boys an explanation as to why it was denied?

[Tenntwin]

Not aware of any communication with players or parents on explanation.

[SportsBuildCharacter]

Unbelievable.

Have either of you spoken with the coach, athletic director, or principal? That would make more sense to me than this discussion.

[Tenntwin]

Plateauvol, yes - at least one parent has talked with coaches and athletic director. The principal wasn't involved. I understand what you are alluding to and it is a good point. Hopefully a meeting with all involved will happen soon.

it is what it is tenntwin. might as well drop it. it's over. everyone knows yaul had the best team. can't go back and change it now. the future looks bright for crossville. i think yaul will contend in 2 years.

You're right 90Warrior, time to move on. I hope you're prediction is correct. It looks like Cookeville pulled it out against Warren in the final.

[90warrior]

wow. figured that would happen. was hoping otherwise.

Did they talk to all the other coaches from the other teams, because that is what it would have taken. The rules were set prior to the season by all the coaches. SMHS agreeing to allow an illegal player wouldn't have made it ok with everyone. I'm not sure that changing the rules because we don't like our circumstance is a good argument anyway. Starting a sick or injured kid just to have five is plain silly for a freshmen tournament. Edited January 25, 2015 by CCHSJetPride
