This will end up postponing or even canceling the TSSAA tourney. 

Can't argue that. Where/when will it end? NBA suspends season... 1'st college player that tests positive and NCAA will probably follow suit... HS baseball/softball seasons just beginning, do officials refuse to attend?.. fans stay home?.. athletic programs refuse to show up? When the first domino falls for baseball/softball it'll happen in a hurry.

But if the state tournament is cancelled, it is taking what these kids have worked for away from them when they didn't do anything wrong. I can not believe all the up roar over something that is no more than just another string of the flu. The only people that have unfortunately passed away from this were folks with weakened immune systems already, the same people that would typically fall victim to the flu. Baseball and softball seasons should be effected since they are played outside anyways. I hate this for the kids that this is causing such an over reaction.

We didnt even know this country had Swine Flu. Which was worse than this.

61 million infected

575k dead

0 sports cancelled

Shows how powerful the media is.

Above is the email for each member of the TSSAA board of control as well as the executive director, Mr. Childress. Please consider sending an email in support of moving the state tournament to a new location, allowing parents, players, and coaches only and FINISHING the tournament. The fact is the kids deserve the closure of playing the boys and girls state tournament out and seeing where they fall. If they don't finish it, they will always wonder what if. It will always be in their mind and never go away. I urge people, whether they have a team left of not, to please take the time to send a group email to the above emails and ask them to reconsider. 

 

Mr. Childress has said in an email to me that they will make a decision on tuesday on a conference call. PLEASE let them know that the kids should be allowed to finish and Tennessee should set the example for the rest of the country that we will not be pushed into a state of panic and fear!!

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?

      Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?

      Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
