They went through the motions and then both dropped the litigation before it was ruled on and they agreed to meet in front of the board of control on Tuesday. Wow.

Where is ol guard puller?! Def want to hear his no doubter case all over again.. Just needling and don’t mean any harm I promise.. he is obviously 18 times smarter than me... but in all seriousness how is it nobody has brought up the kid in question here also skipping out on his alternative school punishment for being caught with a left handed cig at previous school and nothing ever more coming of it? Not gossiping here at all, these are facts known at previous school by coaches and admin.   Just not sure how those KEY adults at FC have been shouting from the roof tops on how they were going to win this legal smegal matter and then run it up in the post season... seems like a private chambers talk with the local judge changed that tune faster than hiccups.. 

Well well well

Did anyone actually read todays article in the Tennessean about the litigation being dropped and holding the appeal on Tuesday. Fayetteville isnt appealing the eligibility. They are appealing on the grounds of authority of the decision maker. Isnt that sort of an admission that they know the kid is actually ineligible?

No not really considering that the initial decision from the T$$AA was that he was eligible.  If the acting director has no authority to make that decision then they have a good case. If he does...then I guess they are SOL.

"Fayetteville's complaint to the Lincoln County chancery court included that the TSSAA's constitution and bylaws include "numerous provisions that require the TSSAA executive director to perform certain duties including the initiation of investigation, notification to the school that it is being investigated, evidence-gathering, conduction hearing and determination of whether a violation has occurred, and, if so, what penalties should be imposed."

The complaint stated that there is no provision by which Childress may delegate his duties."


Appealing his authority and not his eligibility. They know he does not live within the bus route of Fayetteville City High School and thus is ineligible. They just dont think the assistant  has any authority to make this ruling.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
