Unaka at Greenback

[JonathanHVHS]

I'm still trying to figure out how Unaka won a game. What a bad bad situation up the Creek.

This not fair for Oneida!

I know some of the players and have spoken to them about this. After they found out that their decision could possibly have repercussions on other sports, they attempted to withdraw the letter and play so that others wouldn't be affected. They were told by the administration that it's too late to change now because a formal letter had been submitted. Having seen the errors of their ways a little too late. Sad....

This is a prefect example of you should just seed the teams by records not where they finish in their region.Maybe Midway deserved to be in the playoffs.

Then again, it could be a slight momentum killer for Greenback!

Something ain't adding up here.

I heard 2 weeks ago of the possible intent to forfeit.

People knew for many a day of the consequences of this forfeit.

TSSAA would have worked it out had there been a desire to play.

As of noon today, GB had heard nothing about this decision.

I am not disputing your word nor theirs...but something seems amiss

Tell them yall didn't really mean to send the letter if the players have indeed changed their mind to play now that they know the full consequences.

 

Trezevant said they forfeited all their games then retracted.

I'm glad this happened... props to Unaka. No need to spend the $$$ to go the abused. Not the only first round game in the playoffs that this will take place...6A down to 1A...

 

TSSAA... it's FANtastic!!

hashtag...hasn't read whole thread

Uknoit I agree with you. This is all I know from what these players have said. I feel like things could have worked out and had much different out come had people discussed this and hadn't had such a "knee jerk" reaction and hurt feelings. It's football for goodness sakes!

[IMDog]

Looks like Hampton and Elizabethton will be picking up a few transfers pretty soon

I have more respect for them for losing 71 to 0 then to wimp out and quit.Any player on the football team who plays in another sport has to sit out 5 games minimum, school gets 4 year post season ban in football and has to pay a fine to TSSAA as well as restitution to Greenback for loss of revenue.Concord Christian should replace Unaka in the playoffs as they will at least try.What a joke
