How do we know his intentions were noble ?  Maybe he did it for self advancement. I mean you win gold balls and you get better job opportunities. There is no way to know his intentions were noble. 

You're right. No way for YOU to know that. If you label him a cheat and whatever else derogatory that comes with it, then that helps with the demonizing of the man after the facts have been presented. 

That's the way isn't it? He changed the grades, he must be a horrible person if he did that.

His intentions was for his own benefit.

That's what you think. So, it helps to demonize him. He cheated, and regardless of the facts presented, he's a bad person 

I understand your POV. You understand mine.

Cheating for a child/ young adult teaches them cheating is ok. You lead by example. Cheating to gain advancement Is wrong on many levels

The enrollment issues were dealt with as well. Which is a dumb argument anyway. Schools get money for rear-ended in a seat. No administrator is going to lie about numbers and lose money! Are you serious?

The point made in the highlighted sentence is the key. The investigations regarding changing grades and other allegations were not concerned with TSSAA rules and regulations. Apparently TSSAA was only concerned with what other investigations revealed, because they conducted none of their own, other than to obtain what was self reported by Trezevant at first, then Shelby County... see the board minutes. One of the administrators in our system was intrigued enough by the hullaballoo that he compared the enrollment number provided to TSSAA by their administration against the number provided to obtain money for rear-ends in seats, and they did not match. I fully intended to let sleeping dogs lie, but this keeps surfacing, and you keep replacing Teli White on the pedestal every time someone questions his morals or intentions. Before you begin with "show me the proof" and "he was exonerated"... find out if it matters to you for yourself. I didn't personally check, I accepted the word of the man that did as fact, so crucify me if you wish, but if it matters to you, it's there for the finding.

Tradertwo:

I have no reason to discount what your guy discovered. However, there is an investigative report done by an outraged DA's office that had no ties to Shelby County Schools that showed their findings. The TSSAA did what they do.

I'm going with the documented exhaustive report done by an agency that does investigations as their MO. Anything else is irrelevant. 

Like I said earlier. I'm cool with everyone's interpretation of the facts. However, when I walk in the room and the facts, as represented by the DAs office are misrepresented, I'm going to speak up and present the FACTS against hearsay Everytime. You can debate me with 'he said, she said' as your form of evidence if you wish. You can wink your eye at your neighbor and declare "I'm not a Hater" all you wish, but in the end there is an exhaustive, thorough, distinct, and conclusive report done by a professional agency that investigates as a mode of operandi, that is public for everyone to read. If you read that and still think otherwise, well ... you know the rest. If you haven't read it, then you should. If you haven't read it, and don't care to read it, yet you want to continue to ... you know what ... whatever makes you folks happy, or content, or "fill in the blank".

Anybody wanna talk 2A football in 2019, or what?

? So whats the different approach ?  Are you and him friends ? 

I spoke with Teli after the 2016 Win and I have seen him here and there. More importantly I had a frat brother on his staff for BOTH title wins... It was nice to see those North Memphis folks get both of those Gold Balls! I hope Whitehaven can pull a repeat one day soon!

 

OH MY BAD. You were referencing Gene... I was on the staff his senior year at Whitehaven. We used him a little bit in our WR group in the playoffs. He's always been a bright kid and he should be the favorite out of the West to make it to Cookeville! I hate Fairley but I definitely think this is Gene's time to shine. As long as he can navigate the bad calls he should get his team to Cookeville.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
