Region 2- AAA Tournament

[Red Rebels]

This should just affect the girls side unless a school has a boys and a girls team both playing at home.

 

"All girls region quarterfinal basketball games involving teams under the umbrella of Knox County Schools were postponed on Monday because of the lingering effects from last week's winter storm.

KCS also canceled school on Monday.

The timetable for the games’ completion was uncertain Monday morning, though it’s expected the girls region games will be played alongside the boys region quarterfinals on Tuesday.

The delayed girls games include: In Region 2-AAA: Anderson County at Bearden; Oak Ridge at Farragut; William Blount at Halls; Maryville at Powell; In Region 1-AAA: South-Doyle at Science Hill; In Region 2-AA: Pigeon Forge at CAK and Kingston at Fulton."  Chris Thomas - KNS

Okay...enough is enough...Knox County Schools need to adjust their rules.  I understand not playing regular season games when there is no school.  But Tournament time is different.  This is insane.  Now Halls has Coach Moore who coaches boys and girls.  What is he going to do?  He can't be in two places at the same time.....and oh, by the way, if Knox County hasn't checked the weather, it looks like an inch or so is due overnight which will once again force them to be out of school and then what?????

Utterly ridiculous that girls aren't playing tonight due to Knox County being out of school today. ET Coach is correct... what will Halls do if boys and girls play on same night????

 

Amazing that UT and UK played a game this past Tuesday night on a day when classes at UT were cancelled yet somehow the teams and 21,000 people arrived at and left Thompson Boling Arena safely while most high school tournaments in the ET area came to a grinding halt all week.

I'm ok with the Halls coach coaching the girls instead of the boys tomorrow night! Lol

Might the Halls girls give up their home court and play William Blount at Heritage? Obviously, they shouldn't have to, but that seems like a lesser evil than one of the Halls teams not having its coach.

Besides the Heritage boys agreeing to play at Halls -- which, understandably, I can't see happening -- the only other solution is to play the William Blount @ Halls girls game around 5 PM and the Halls @ Heritage boys game around 8 PM.

Calling for snow again overnight. I sure hope Knox County's schools are in session tomorrow. I'd love to see some hoops.

Is there a reason that halls only has one coach for both the boys and girls teams? Is it by choice or are there circumstances why he coaches both?

Not complaining. The games could have been played Friday night.

The TSSAA didn't tell the district not to play, it was up to the school systems. They cant keep delaying districts for weather. The girls state tournament starts next week. With all this weather what's going to happen to regionals if snow keeps up? Another snow day today.

Now what happens

[Red Rebels]

Knox Co. Is holding us hostage. They were out yesterday and I heard only a 1 hr delay today in Knox. SMH

Nope Knox Co closed now.

Does anyone know Lenoir Citys policy about playing? Cause OR is on a delay. I'd sure love to see that game.
