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!!

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
