So, just trying to understand - why is it necessary to be "recognized" by the NFHS when there is no competition further than the state championship level in Tennessee?  

 

And I am not saying that both shouldn't be under the same "umbrella", by the way.  Just that it can be set up with the privates governing themselves - have two separate Board of Controls, for example - one made up of public school officials and the other of private school officials.  

The most obvious reason is say you have a team like Maryville win 23 straight state championships, it would not be recognized as a national record if Maryville was not a member of the NFHS. Individual records would be treated the same.  Also, the NFHS could also block you from playing any other "member" school if they so desired.

So we should keep the status quo so Maryville can be recognized nationally? Way to think outside of your little box.

Way to ignore the overriding message and attack a small portion. Ron, I am in MJ so I would be happy to explain it to you in person. :rolleyes:

 

The privates do not want to form their own association either. If they did, it would have happened in 1997. TSSAA could very easily initiate a split just as they did when they started D1 and D2. at that time. Why don't you call and ask them why they haven't done that? I guess you would rather whine about it anonymously on a message board. :huh:

Understand on the national records, but I really don't think that's an issue at all.  

 

So, the NFHS has authority over the state organizations? That's the first I have ever heard of that.   If they are the authoritative organization, then why even have the individual state organizations?

Same reason you have state governments under the Federal Government. Easier to run that way. They give each state a lot of freedom to rule their particular situations. Some states in upper Midwest play high school baseball in the summer due to the weather. Some play softball in the fall. Each state has leeway, however we all play under NFHS rules in each sport.

So, the NFHS has the same authority over the individual state organizations as does the Federal government over the states?  

 

I don't think that is accurate in any shape, form, or fashion.  According to the TSSAA website, the TSSAA is a voluntary member of the NFHS, but nowhere does it say that the NFHS has authority over it.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      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.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      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.
