This thread is only about Greenfield and Gibson County, just some selfish people that would rather put their children's life at risk over a stupid trophy, it would be sad for someone from those two areas to catch Covid 19 and pass away because they where selfish and wanted to play a game to just make a point, you all are sad indeviduals and really should be a shamed of yourselves for thinking this way.

I think your wrong. My faith in God allows me to go about my life and not live in fear. I have faith the good Lord has guardian angels around me and my family and church family!! Lots of verses in the Bible with the “do not fear” verbage.

You obviously didn’t read my post!  I’m not a Greenfield or GC fan although I would pull for them if they made it to the finals because they are from West Tn.  Go back and read my post. These girls want to play and if there’s a way to get proper testing done ahead of time and only allow family to attend then this could work itself out.  Everyone is concerned about health and safety but if proper precautions are in place it might work out.  There’s nothing selfish about wanting kids to be able to play for their dreams.  Yes, you have to be sensible but we also don’t need to overlook potential options as well.  

And to that you can add... the CDC issued a statement earlier today stating that similar actions (school closures, gathering bans... particularly in the early stages) had no effect in restricting the spread. Keep in mind that their statement didn't rely on predictions, but a study of communities who have already implemented these measures without success.

But now the CDC has issued a statement that recommends AGAINST gatherings of people 50 or more.  It sucks for the kids....but it's a GAME.  There's more important things in life than a darn GAME.  And just FYI...I have worked in HS athletics for over 35 years...I "get it".  But I also understand the bigger picture.

Great life lesson to be taught. You cant take away the hard work the kids put in to put themselves in to able to go to state. Each school can honor those teams with a state finalist banner that will forever be hung in the gym. Many people woke up today without a job...there is more to life than playing for championships. Majority of the Seniors in Tennessee high schools will never play for any type of championship, but every SR may lose their graduation, lose Prom, Senior trip etc.

if the games aren’t finished. Schools and fans spent a ton of money to get there with hotels, food, gas, lost vacation days, etc....tens of thousands of dollars lost that is against tight budgets not to mention ruining senior years for this. NCAA is stepping to the plate and granting extra years of eligibility to some of these sports. These HS kids deserve something and closure since the TSSAA is liable for the losses incurred. It is time for the TSSAA to step up to the plate.

Were you really serious with this post?  :popcorneater:

There is a former sports reporter in Jackson who is advocating that they decide the state champions based on who is ranked number one in the final AP polls. Of course, the school that he teaches at is ranked number one. He wouldn't have the same philosophy if the same said team was ranked number three

Won’t happen. 12 teams left.

    • 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.
