Dist 5AAA 2019-2020

Media Day was yesterday. Cleveland was picked first unanimously by coaches & media, as they should have been. I think Bradley, East Ham & WV will all be fighting for 2nd. East Ham must have lost a lot, because they were really talented last year.

Cleveland should be aiming for a return trip to state.

Yes. They are almost assured of a sub-State bid. 
Anything short of going to State will be a disappointment for sure.

If Cleveland's new coach keep recruiting players from East Hamilton (Morrell) then EHHS will be even weaker.

Let's hope so.

Cleveland is definitely the best team in this district, but I could see Bradley giving them two solid games in the regular season (with Cleveland pulling away late). Bradley has some really good players. Walker Valley lost some solid players from last year, as did McMinn.

Heard that Morrell is going to be turned in to TSSAA because he is ineligible. He still lives in East Brainerd, same house, same address. Seen him leaving the other day plus saw his sister playing on the same volleyball team in East Brainerd. Sounds ineligible to me. Sure would be a shame for Cleveland to forfeit any games they may win because they have an ineligible player.

They haven’t played any games yet, so none to forfeit. I’m sure they are smart enough to get approval from TSSAA before they play him. 
Even if they forfeited every regular season game, they still win Region tournament easily...

When and if they get turned in, TSSAA will investigate. You can't live in East Brainerd and play at Cleveland can you? Bona Fide change of address? Has an athletic record at another TSSAA school? TSSAA Handbook, P. 16, Section 12, a. & b. They may win Region tournament easily but wouldn't it be a shame to have to forfeit it if he was reported after they played it?

It would be a shame, but they aren’t that dumb to play him until he is cleared. He has not played a game yet.

[clevelandblueraiderfan]

He wont play, if he isnt cleared. I'm sure they will be sure of his status before they insert him into any games.
