All but ONE!  Let me guess she's a starter?  Good player?  If Jackson County had one more of those "all but one's" they'd win their 9th state championship this year.

Do some research before you paint with "that brush," the one that decided to come over in the 7th grade on her own volition plays less than half of the game and averages 3 points. I assure you noone on the TCA girls team was recruited!

TCA..private school..move to the right division please. May God be with you. Cheaters.

 

If you have solid proof that TCA is cheating, please notify the TSSAA.  Otherwise, knock off the stupid comments.

[ReitzFan]

Agree

 

Got proof?  Turn them in to the TSSAA.  Otherwise shut up

Private schools are ALWAYS recruiting.  That's why they should be in their own division with other private schools.  You don't think they just show up randomly do you???  Are we all still that naive?

 

Actually, most of the players on this years TCA team did show just show up at random.......most all in the early years of grade school at TCA.  Got to recruit the best talent in the early formative years.  I don't think you are naïve.  Just stupid for making false statements.

There is the butt chap comments. When the publics dominate even with the privates are in with them. TCA was able to stay D1 because they never recruited or provided financial aid. They did do financial aid for siblings but that was a total of 4 families. And those 4 families the varsity player was not a girls basketball player. And they were not even starters in their respected sport. So it was an easy compliance. Again after this year the crying will be for the real cheaters, the open enrollment and coop schools. So get ready to get on a new soap box next year. 😪😪😪😪

I doubt TCA has a real chance to win the gold ball this year, i think that will belong to South Greene and Pickett County will hoist a silver ball, that is if they are in opposite brackets this year.  PC could win it all if they play well.  Back to the topic at hand, because TCA has the ability to offer financial aide and bring in players that makes it an uneven playing field.  That is why they need to be in Div II.  We get on this subject every year, i'm going to let it go as i don't want to bog down this thread with Public vs Private debate

TCA just has a good group of girls that has been playing together forever. The only player to my knowledge that come in this year was the Goehring kid that come over from USJ. She is a freshman and plays JV but was not recruited. They were looking to get out of USJ. TCA just has a great group of freshman just like GC. We have 9 freshman. I don't like the fact that you have some private schools like TCA and CPA playing public and others like USJ and others playing private. TCA isn't recruiting but I do see UC's point of it can be unfair to other schools.

Here is my final comment on this subject.  TCA is no CPA.  They have not recruited, never have.  They have not made several trips to the glass house nor dominated single A play.  They have made the region semi-finals the last 3 years which, given the state of district 16A in Memphis, anything less than a region semi-final appearance would mean the season was not successful.  Accuse them of being cheaters once they make multiple appearances in Murfreesboro.  You will still be way off base, but at least you will have a reason to accuse them of cheating.

U can not give financial aid and stay in D1.

[BballLover865]

BigEdMo is 1000% correct.

if you actually knew what you were talking about, you would realize that a private school can't offer financial aid to athletes and stay in D1. Yours is just another in the long line of uneducated comments. Edited January 30, 2017 by ReitzFan

I'm not the one that said they offered financial aid read the entire thread moron.  I was merely making a statement that if financial aid is offered as the one poster said it was then that makes it illegal.  Carry on....
