31 STUDENTS!!

That's half the players that most 3A teams field!?

Enrollment is a key factor in determining the placement of a team. Being able to cherry pick players from a much bigger field is not fair when you DO NOT have to play with other schools with that same enrollment. Pure BS!

I guess when you run the ship, you can skew the rules in any direction you want. I’m guessing the referees for the Covington vs PC game will all be from the Nashville area thus allowing referees from that area to gain more experience....:thumb: Sounds about right to me. They should probably officiate the Championship game in Cookeville next Thursday... Diversity at its best! :roflol:

Perfect idea!!! :thumb:

Would be legal under the cooperative agreement

because even Mr. TSSAA says:

"We feel like the cooperative agreements have been very successful as far as student participation," TSSAA executive director Bernard Childress said. "Some people look at it as this is schools having an opportunity to win championships. We're not about that. We want them to have the opportunity to participate."

Bless his heart!

I had seen the power ranking for PC all season, and they are out of sight, comparable with the best 6A and 5A teams. No wonder, if you can cherry pick the best athletes from a student body of almost 1000 and they are not your students.

The TSSAA may say it's not about championships, but if they win one, I will help to raise a major stink. We may have to involve some political pull to get this straightened out. Jimmy Naifeh is retired, but he attended Byars-Hall High like I did. That school became Covington High. I'm sure Jimmy knows which strings need to be pulled in Nashville to stop this kind of thing.

I just wonder how many others in the state of Tennessee actually knew about the Cooperative Agreement??? I’m guessing not too many outside the Nashville area...

    • Gleason all over west Carroll in scrimmage. Gleason is big and fast 
    • Defending 2A state Champs Westview Lady Chargers are pretty tough. They lost a bunch of production off last year's squad but returned some talent as well. They still McCall Simms, a Tennesseee Lady Vol softball commit as well as solid talent around the diamond. I dont think they are as good as last season but they will definitely be a tough out. Huntingdon Lady Mustangs seem to be pretty stout as well. Don't know much about Riverside other than Westview defeated them earlier in regions. West Tennessee softball is pretty solid all around id say.
    • Eagleville couldn’t catch up to Jones, he did have his location issues but in that game Eagleville popped up everything and the one hit they did have could have been ruled an error. Jeffcoat was a lot sharper in the beginning of the season last year than the end. ER ran out of pitching and still was in striking distance but none the less the better team one. Last seasons tournament was A LOT more balanced and talented. South Pitts starter is a Lefty who was low 80’s but couldn’t maintain his velo throughout the  outing, their #2 was more impressive last year, we knocked him around this year and his mph was down some. Their #3 isn’t bad neither, throws a lot of strikes and sits high 70’s.
    • He actually had a really solid spring.  I could see him getting some backup snaps on offense and be a regular on special teams.  Really athletic kid who can run.
