Yes. Their penalty is getting moved up to 3A and getting pounded in the playoffs!!

Pounded is a ridiculous statement to make. There is nothing about Milan that says they will pound Trezevant. That may be a stretch. Win=Maybe  Pounded=Definately Not

Willie I want you to know that I was mainly just joking around. I did not mean Milan would pound you guys. I know what you guys bring to the table. But let's be real about 1 thing. Any team 3A that lines up with Alcoa is going to get pounded. Book it.

Your standing on the tracks and the train is coming... shame you don't see it. That's all I will say FB. You will see the hard way.

I'll be honest I care more about the football aspect. If administrators and kids want to cheat themselves out of an education then so be it. But realize all of these academic expectations tie back into athletics.  Can't have your cake and eat it too

If you're not eligible in the classroom you're not eligible for the field of play.  Student-athlete.   

I don't want to tie all this to Trezevant. Although this particular story stems from there.  It's not a Trezevant only problem or Shelby County problem.  This is a nation wide problem.  Kids are being passed on to the next level without concern or care about their education or even if they will become productive citizens.   Education is the key.  If you can use athletics to help get yourself to the next level of education that's great.  But let's not fool ourselves here.  Some colleges and coaches only care if you can win them some games. It's like this at every level of play. We are only cheating ourselves.

Thank goodness someone else can see trees in the forest.

Now thats what I've been saying all the time. There is a problem at Trezevant when grades are changed but its bigger than Trezevant. Its a systemic problem.

Looking foward to playing Milan, I know everything is just trash talk no hard feelings here. Looks like Alcoa has their own obstacles to overcome before they can pound anyone.
