Nice try but the truth poindexter:

Two games of the 2019 Bulldog football season have been cancelled due to lack of participation.

 

A meeting was held at Red Boiling Springs High School with Principal Don Jones on Friday afternoon Oct 11th to inform people of the status of the football program.

Last Friday night’s game against Clinton County, KY and the game scheduled for this week (Oct 18) against Hart County, KY have been cancelled due to a lack of players on the team.

The game against Pickett County on Oct 25th, which is a district game and is scheduled for homecoming, is still scheduled at this time. The final game of the season against Clay County, which is also a district game, is also still on the schedule.

Principal Jones indicated that both of the final two district games will be played if the team has enough players.

According to Richard McWhirter, Assistant Executive Director of the TSSAA in charge of football, there are two procedural events for a member school to participate in a football season. One of these events would be for the member school to sign contracts to play with other TSSAA member schools in the classification designated by the TSSAA.

According to the TSSAA those contracts usually have a forfeiture fee. However this fee is negotiable between the two schools and can range from $0 to $2000. According to the RBS administration there were no contracts with the Kentucky schools therefore there were no forfeiture fees.

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
