    • Does Memphis have a place to host the TSSAA Tournament? Yes. Well, there are actually two places. One place will be the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, which is located on the University of Memphis campus. Let me just say there are high school gyms in West Tennessee that are better than that gymnasium. Murphy Center is head and shoulders over the Elma Roane Field Fieldhouse any day of the week. The second place would be FedEx Forum. However, I would think the FedEx Forum and the Memphis Grizzlies would have no desire to host the tournament, which will mean the Grizzlies would have to be out of town for 4 straight days, then head back into town for a game or two, then go back out of town. I doubt there's enough money for the Grizzlies to entertain that. With that being said, FedEx Forum would be an amazing place to host the tournament, and for the players to get that experience. Hotels are also pricey in downtown Memphis, and the nearest ones will be in Northern Mississippi, or in the Bartlett area. Here's the best case scenario: East Tennessee will hose Football and Golf state championships Middle Tennessee will host the basketball tournament (because they are basically two separate tournaments). West Tennessee will host the Spring Fling and Volleyball state tournaments in Jackson.  Therefore, every region of the state will host two tournaments. I know that is not the case and will likely never be the case, but I do think it's the perfect situation.
    • We have heard the same thing as well.
    • I’ll just use the statistics that came out on February 7th 2024   GITNUX MARKETDATA REPORT 2024 Home » Market Data » Crime And Safety Statistics Report: Memphis Crime Rate Ranking Statistics Last Updated: February 7, 2024   Written & Summarized by: Jannik Lindner   Highlights: Memphis Crime Rate Ranking Statistics Memphis ranks as one of the most dangerous cities in America.

I love Memphis spent many a nite down on Beale Street!  Nashville ain’t got nothin on those bands down there. Fact! Bbq is the best hands down.  Sometimes I think my posts come off like I’m biased or bitter towards something or someone and that’s really not the case. 
    • It did not.  It was tabled again. I am thinking they are waiting to see if Lee's voucher bill passes.
