A couple of points: 1. GCA has only been a TSSAA member school for 3 years.  They have not dropped a district/region football schedule in the past. 2. Playing young and physically small play

Play a region opponent twice if you need a 10th game. Only the first game will count towards the region standings.

You would think Kreager would have a story about this, but I guess he's too busy checking in on the hospilitality areas of the playoffs.

Just stick it out one more year and no consequences except some little 8th graders butt hurt feelings. 

 

No it is not just Butt hurt feelings. I am Sure the boys feelings could grow from a butt kicking and make them better later on. The issue I see Is safety. For 13 and 14 year olds facing 18 year old is a huge difference in size and strength. And not to mention that they have to move up a level with the multiplier is another big jump. The public’s don’t want the privates with them. But now let’s complain because a school is doing it for the safety of their kids and now the public’s want to gripe because they are in a contract for a butt kicking from the public’s. Classic!!!

Plenty of schools get their butts kicked playing younger boys. TC played a 6A school with our starting roster of many freshmen last year. But we didn't bellyache and moan. We chose to play them and we will be better for it. 

Quit crying. 

No one is crying but you because they canceled the home and home with TC. This is a small school without the funds to compete in D2. So chose to stay D1. But still the multiplier was to much. It is a safety thing. You choose to play 6A teams. Good for you. They wanted to just have a chance to compete. D1 single A would have allowed that. But all you public’s say that the school with 20 kids have an advantage against public’s. Bunch of crap. It is a school that could have grown in football but now they are pushed aside. So you get the tissue and dry your tears because you don’t have a beat down on the schedule. Step up and schedule another 6A team and make yourself better for the quarter final run.

We play Friendship Christian every year even though they are no longer in our region. They are a very successful private school who won the state 2 years in a row while in our region. We have had some chippy games for sure over the years but do not back down from playing privates or larger schools.

Check your facts a little more thoroughly . Look at our schedule and show me GCA on it.

I dont Care about your out of region schedule. This about something totally different. This is not a friendship Christian. My facts are just fine. That is why I am Confused on who is butt hurt?  Do you want privates in your region?  Or just not the good ones

TC isn't even in the same region as Franklin Grace. And are not the ones belly-aching. That would be Franklin's regional opponents.  Well, some of them anyway. If it's all about losing out on a 10th game then you can play a regional opponent twice & allow only the first game to count in the regional standings. Problem solved. You get your 10th game & you dont even have to play the private that's in your region.

By playing an independent schedule Franklin Grace will be ineligible to make the playoffs. 

Let Childress and company hear Franklin Grace's appeal and decide their basketball post season fate.

Agree. Only some of them are complaining. Maybe some had them scheduled for homecoming. Don't know don't care. 

As far as them playing with a group of young players then that is part of it. We played with mostly freshmen a few years ago. They are in the smallest class 1A. The multiplier does not move them up so it don't get any smaller or weaker.  Earlier this year they was wanting to move to D2 but was denied so how was they going to compete in D2? Sounds to me like they didn't get their way and now want to pout and not play. I'm not taking sides on it either way but things in life don't always go your way, public or private. But, what you do with what life presents you shows what you are made of. Either suck it up and make the best of it or be a quitter. World will keep turning and I will continue to pay taxes.

GCA  dropping football because of lack of underclassmen is the same as the schools refusing to play .CA.

I've seen public schools play with a limited number of underclassmen, so I don't buy that.

Plus the team that GCA would field would still beat the Pickett's and RBS's of the world no problem,  and probably even more than that.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By cbg · Posted

      What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.

      So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.

      Pemberton Leaves Rhea for Campbell County

      That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4.

      I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
