What about the seniors. They have to let thrm play the spring sports. Especially the onrs thst dont have sxholarships. The fair thing to do eould be let thrm play the sport only after graduating and don't make them have to attend. Does not apply to basketball or any other sport...just baseball softball track etc. As far ad the basketball tournament they plan to do it in may or June to let the seniors end thrir careers right.

We need to understand that sports is not that important when we are talking about the destruction of our country. Many won't be able to afford to go after the loss of jobs. A gold ball isn't everything!

more to life than sports and this is a great reminder about what really matters. It sucks for everyone right now, it sucks for the players family who may lose their job. It sucks for the kid who does not play sports who may never step foot back into school as a SR. Athlete make up only a small percentage of graduating classes. We come here because we love our school sports and the kids, but the big picture right now is not making sure the Class of 2020 has their moment. I'd love to see our local kids back out there soon and bring more gold hardware home, but I'd like more to see our country move forward first.

I hate to beat a dead horse but the TSSAA needs the money and that is the only reason they are even considering hosting the state basketball tournaments and spring fling at a later date.  For once in their life the folks over on Lebanon Road in Hermitage, TN need to become leaders.  At the present time this country has much more to worry about than athletics and state championships.

      Mairvul Footbawl 2024

      Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

      The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent.

      New Rules

      By KidGloves · Posted

      Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
