Vandychris Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 The way the article reads is that missing the playoffs and a $700 fine is part of the punishment. All the speculation about tie-breakers is naught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he is, O'Cheater burns the place down then leaves the program in shambles. He will probably schedule Ensworth again for the next coach as well.

This article states differently. http://www.columbiadailyherald.com/sports/20181018/ineligible-player-forces-giles-forfeits Giles County still has an outside shot at making the playoffs. They must win out AND Lincoln County AND Marshall County win 1 of their remaining 2 games. Probable? No. Possible? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have proof that O'Conner had a hand in this or are you just spouting allegations? What is he supposed to do? Should he have to do a weekly welfare check on the students home situation every week? O'Conner didn't know that one of the parents had moved and the player more than likely didn't know that a rule was broken when the parent moved. Now, the first strike was totally on O'Conner's shoulders. The second strike was a rule change in Tennessee that happened while he was in Alabama. Granted he should have inquired before letting the 8th graders work out but he didn't. Honest mistake. But to sit here and try and drag him through the mud about this incident is just being irrational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorance of rules is not a valid excuse....especially when Giles County is already under the TSSAA microscope. Believe it or not, the Wallace transfer opened EVERYONE's eyes to what may be happening at Giles County, even though this had nothing to do with Wallace.

Give up what? The truth? According to the TSSAA they didn't levy any punishment towards Giles missing the playoffs. Just the forfeiture of the games and the fine.

Unfortunately with forums such as this, it gives those who have no concrete evidence or insight to the situation the ability and right to spew nonsense. I’ll be the first to place blame on OC for the first offense but he had no control over this one. Heck, the student in question attended GC for a semester last year after football was over. On top of all this, the kid barely even played this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
