CCHS on probation?

[90warrior]

i heard cumberland co. high school is on probation for 2 years for recruiting violations. has anybody heard this? do they get to go to the post season the next 2 years? tenntwin can you chime in?

This is true and absurd.  There has been a little "back and forth" between Stone and Cumberland Co. admins this year over violations & such - "turning each other in for this and that".  The CCHS coach had sent info packs to the county middle school coaches about spring activities and CCHS team information for upcoming freshmen.  In years past, he had only sent to CCHS feeder schools.  This year he sent to it to all schools (coaches) in the county since there is open enrollment now in Tennessee.  Apparently, this is a recruiting violation.  TSSAA has put CCHS on two years probation - no post season bans, but they lose two practice days in June, cannot attend team camps this summer, nor play in HOF games at the beginning of the season.  The restrictions are for this year only plus they had to pay TSSAA $1000.  The players are the only ones being disciplined, which doesn't make any sense to me!!!!!!!!!  You would think that we brought in a kid from Iowa or a 6'10" foreign exchange student.  If this is recruiting violations, we not very good at that either.

One of my most favorite players to watch play basketball on any level and a great young man.  Yes, Brandon did transfer after his freshmen year at CCHS.  His parents either bought or rented a house in the zone for Stone Memorial, so he could play there with a group that he had played with a lot since his youth - his parents put him in the best possible position for success.
