For high school tennis junkies and overall fans, today is a great day in greater Chattanooga area as 10 schools battle for five more spots in next week's Spring Fling state tournament at Old Fort Park Tennis Complex in Murfreesboro.

 

Notes of interest are Baylor girls are three wins away from their fifth straight state crown and Soddy Daisy girls and Boyd Buchanan girls are looking for their first ever trip to the big tennis dance.

 

State Team Final Four - Teams in eight tournaments (D-I A-AA, D-I AAA, D-II A-AA, D-II AA ...counting boys and girls brackets) will play semifinal matches Tues. May 19 with finals Wednesday ... singles and doubles competition is May 21-22 also at Old Fort Park 

 

Starting with a late lunch and finishing with a late dinner, one could catch parts of all of the matches at five different locations.

 

State Bound: McCallie has already qualified for D-II AA, Baylor boys play Saturday and Signal Mtn vs. Hixson boys (D-I A-AA) is Friday night.

 

The Schedule -  State Quarterfinals ... all winners advance to Spring Fling

    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
