Still left with the following problem. 

Does this all mean that any/all transfer to Tullahoma, or any school without buses are automatically ineligible?  No territory whatsoever due to buses?

Does it also mean that Fayetteville proper is outside the territory of LCHS?  For 30 years, there was no other school whatsoever to attend.  Are you saying that it's sensible that all transfers who moved to Fayetteville from 1979 until FHS opened should have been ineligible?  No buses pick up for LCHS inside Fayetteville.

The two examples above have never, ever been treated the way this case has been.  Why?

tullahoma territory is the city limits. 

 

when fayetteville city schools added the high school grades it "claimed" that territory from the county.  

 

prior to 2010 did high school students who lived in fayetteville ride buses to lchs?

I don't know for a fact how lchs did it, but the way that most system would handle this is all students in the city would be bused to one location from their various bus routes (presumable the middle school) and then they would all be bussed to the high school at the same time.

 

on a side note:

Here in west tennessee, almost every city in gibson county has its own school district and then there is a gibson county district.    There are 5 separate districts in the county each with its own territory.

Does Fayetteville city schools require that a student outside their city limits pay some type of fee to attend school there? Do they collect city taxes to fund their school?

If system-wide is Fayetteville's defense then they should forgo the restraining order and accept their fate.   

I don't speak for Fayetteville.  Told you ealier that I have no association and therefore obviously no  knowledge of their position. 

 

First question I'd ask is on what basis did Childress rule the kid eligible.  One would think the Director would be well versed in this.

Yes.  I realize you don't speak for Fayetteville.   And I don't speak for the TSSAA.  I was just putting it out there.

I have one question that is a little off topic from the court discussion but still related:

I have not seen fayetteville play this season or last season.

last season fayetteville was 1-9 with several lopsided loses.  This year they are 9-0.    Did the kid in question make that big of a difference?  or were they going to be good this year anyway?

Only thing I can hypothesize is 'Chilly' went on the information that was provided by the school, that the bona fide change of address was inside Fayetteville's territory.   Upon further review it is not.

20. Q. What is meant by the term “system-wide” public school in the definition of “territory” as defined in the Definitions? A. A system-wide public school is a school without geographic zones or bus routes that draws students throughout the school system. Examples of system-wide public schools are, but not limited to: Chattanooga School for the Arts & Sciences, Martin Luther King, the magnet portion of Liberty Technology High School, etc.   
 

If this is the definition, I agree with you, they are screwed. 

Can someone tell me if I am wrong on this. Of they would have went ahead with the appeal, that appeal would have been heard by a board made up from personal from the member schools. 1 representatives from each region correct? Basically, a panel of your peers?

Other issue is that it obviously should have never come to this.  All of the people in charge were in charge (or at least involved) when FHS came into existence.  I can't believe all of this ground wasn't covered at that time.  Yet here we are, 9 years later and the TSSAA makes two opposite decisions in a 6 week period. 

I don't understand why it seemingly took the TSSAA 9+ years to figure out their own position on the matter.

 

Where did you find the 'system-wide' Question/Answer?  More info is always better.  Thx.

He was their starting QB.  I have seen them play.  And it is of my honest unbiased opinion Fayetteville would be undefeated without him.   The student athlete in question has been hobbled all year after injury in the 1st half of the 1st game vs Jasper.

    • 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.
