Freedom Prep vs Middle College (at Fairgrounds)

[kwc]

I'd like to thank Brian Echols and The Memphis Sports Zone for all they do for HS sports in Memphis. They give the little guys attention along with the big dogs.

Go to the 5:28 mark.

I am when it comes to how small town schools portray a small school from Memphis. You guys say anything. Call'em cheats and whatnot. You may not come right out and say it, but it's inferred and implied. It permeates your conversation when you discuss them.

So, I add my 2 cents.

You are 100% correct. No one wants scandal surrounding Freedom Prep like it was Trezevant. Those boys deserve better.

Well, well, well....

A Class 1A state title contender is being forced to forfeit seven games after using an ineligible player, according to a letter to the school from the TSSAA obtained by the USA Today Network-Tennessee.

Freedom Prep started the season 7-0 and had outscored its opponents 319-7. However, the TSSAA ruled Monday that the school used an ineligible player, forcing the program to forfeit all seven wins. 

The school then beat B.T. Washington on Monday night 34-12 to improve to 1-7.

The player initially was ruled eligible by TSSAA, but the information provided by the school's administration was determined to be incorrect. 

"The student was entered in the TSSAA Portal by Freedom Preparatory Academy as a student that, is attending your school because of (1) a rezoning of an existing school district, OR (2) rezoning due to a new school, OR (3) a change in bus routes that affect where the student attends school. This affirmation would have made him eligible, by rule, but was not correct," the letter states. 

In a statement to The Commercial Appeal, the school said it plans to appeal and is "contesting the matter due to what we believe is a hardship case for one of our students."  

The Eagles are now 1-5 in Region 8-1A with two league games left and will miss the playoffs. At least four schools in the region are guaranteed to win at least four games in league play. The top four teams from each region make the playoffs.

East and Middle College are 5-0 in region play. B.T. Washington is currently 4-3. MASE is 4-1.

The school also is being fined $100 for each game the ineligible student played in, totaling $700. It also has been asked to write a letter notifying the schools that the ineligible player competed against what happened. 

According to TSSAA bylaws, the ineligible player will remain ineligible for twice the number of games he participated in while ineligible or the remainder of the season, whichever is shorter. With just two games left, the latter is more likely.
