Giles County eligible player forfeit wins

[fan4sure]

so let me get this right.no one on the coaching staff,the director of schools,or anyone in the gchs administration knew this kid was ineligible.wow. also how did this kid come about transferring to giles in the first place.im sure he wasnt recruited?

[karl98]

This shouldn't surprise anyone. O 'Connor has been recruiting and bypassing rules for years. Where do you think Marshall County's Osteen learned to recruit? Several players just happened to come up from Alabama to go to Giles County. Lol.

All those Bobcat blinders are on in full force. O'Cheater knows what is going on but he tries to plead ignorance to the situation and he has trained his minions many who are posters on here to back him no matter the circumstances.

Is that you, Walt?

This "bona fide" change of residence rule is a big load of crap!!  Just make it a year from the last game of varsity participation and these coaches will quit trying to get kids to move and play for their school.  Look at Bishop- oh Blaine thought his kid would be better off at Indy so just up and move so he can play there instead.  It's corrupt every where.  Make them sit a year and that will keep everyone on the same line.

They aren’t banned from the playoffs if they still win the tiebreakers. Why talk in absolutes about something you clearly don’t understand enough to make such statements?

If I was Lawrence County I’d be ashamed to even ask for the bell back with how they played in that ballgame.

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.

If that is the case.If someone from Marshall Co. say a coach turned Giles Co.in.And for Giles Co. to make the playoffs they have to win out and Lincoln Co. and Marshall Co.has to win at least one if there final two games.You can kiss that scenario goodbye as well.If Marshall Co. has already clinched a playoff spot I guarantee you they lose their final two games so Giles Co.will not make it even if they win out

That would be really dumb to do as MC can move up in the standings.

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. 

 

 

This, and the post where the kid has already transferred back to his previous school really makes me wonder who the snitch is.?.?.?

That is the case.  Giles County is eligible to make the playoffs this year according to the TSSAA.  Their only penalty was the forfeiture of the games and the fine.

Whether or not they make it is entirely up to them winning out and Lincoln County and Marshall County winning at least one of their remaining 2 games. 

These are facts. They have yet to be eliminated regardless of what has been said.

Everyone knows who the snitches are. It doesn’t surprise anyone. With that said, rules and rules and they were being bent.

Pretty harsh penalty and unfortunately will make the player ineligible for baseball as well at GC and his previous school unless he changes addresses and moves to another non-Tennessee school.
