Football is a violent sport so I guess they are all thugs then.

That's your best response wow. People like you are the problem. Yes football is a violent sports but hitting defenseless players multiple times while the tssaa is on the sideline and the your coach allows it then that were the thug behavior comes from

I'd like my Boyd Bucs to get a shot at them but if I was picking a state champion now I'd say AE.

And us as well. We could have gotten to Cookeville against any other Memphis team even without our stud who was hurt!

I agree

Because the ignorance like this is what they choose to constantly show while intentionally omitting any and everything positive that's going on down here...

That was the point. Why would your own paper put something that makes the city look like that? Commercial appeal must be bored

I agree...I'm disappointed in many of the posts regarding this issue. THIS ISN'T ABOUT FOOTBALL. This is a football thread, and is relevant to who will be in Cookeville, but this is about coaches and school officials using student athletes to get something in return, and it's much worse than just sports. These kids deserve the best chance to make a decent life for themselves that the school system can give them...not to have their talent taken advantage of, then thrown out with the trash.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A growing grade-changing scandal affecting young football players at Trezevant High School may actually extend to the entire school.

On Thursday, Shelby County Schools released a statement saying the principal at the school self-reported grade discrepancies involving athletes to the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association.

The head of the TSSAA confirmed that conversation, but said he was blindsided when reporters told him the school was forfeiting all games this season.

"We do not have anything official from our office in regards to any potential ineligible athletes or forfeitures of games."

The TSSAA said the principal told him the school discovered potential ineligible players, but that none of them had played in any games.

As far as they are concerned, that doesn't nullify any wins.

The allegation being repeated over and over again at the school is that the coaches went into the system and put in new grades.

Former teacher Keith Williams said that doesn't add up.

"A coach is not able to change grades in this system. They do not have the certification, the credentials, and the access to doing so," he said.

Williams is now the President of the Memphis Shelby County Education Association, which represents all three suspended Trezevant staffers.

He said only administrators woul dbe able to alter students' transcripts.

In a statement on Thursday, Shelby County Schools said they had no reason the believe this was a problem beyond the school.
