Trezevant to forfeit all games; will have an audit on grades

[BigEdMo]

I can defiantly get on here and eat my words. Good luck even though you won't need it. But man it is a head scratcher.

Yes it is I wonder what's going to happen to the staff though.

If the investigation found there were no violations then nothing I assume. I wonder what infomation the principal got that made him jump the gun and almost cancel the season like that; something must've had him spooked. Hopefully more info will be released since the investigation is complete. I was pulling for y'all already but I definitely am now since so many people on here were basically celebrating and laughing at the whole situation. I hope coach White reads all these comments and uses them for motivational purposes in the classroom and on the field...

No one really knew any facts we all were just speculating off of limited information.

Football is allowed to resume at Trezevant High School, but an internal grading investigation is still ongoing, Shelby County Schools announced Tuesday.

 

The state high school sports governing body, Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, found no violations involving the football team, the district said, so practices have resumed and the team will play the remainder of its games this season.

 

The team will also only have to forfeit the missed Sept. 29 game against Memphis Academy of Health Sciences.

 

“The District is diligently working to complete its investigation at Trezevant High School; therefore, no details about the outcome of the District’s investigation are available at this time," an SCS statement said.

 

The school district announced last week that staff members at the school discovered discrepancies on transcripts involving football players and that the team would not play again until the investigation was completed. It was unclear at the time if other students' transcripts contained discrepancies.

 

SCS has not said whether any staff members are on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Good news Willie. I sure hope the staff saw the light. These kids need to be taught in the classroom first. You fought for your team and seem to be a very intelligent man. Wishing you the best of luck!!

Probably the ones most upset are those who had crowned AE as champs when this broke. Might be some back pedaling now lol

[uknoit2]

No me!

If they get there, AE's passing game may well make it a dandy against Trez
