what about managers or trainers? What about the chain gang? Do referees get tested too? Local newspaper sports editor? Ball boy? Crowd of spectators that’s involved in the spirit tunnel?   It’s much easier to put accurate information out there on the risks and allow each individual who participates or views the game to make the decision they think is best for them or their child. 

A quality test with a 2 day turnaround is not free. Have you had the test? It’s uncomfortable and even painful. It’s pointless to subject thousands of TN kids to this weekly. Watery eyes and even bloody noses are common. This  free test takes anywhere from 4-12 days to return a result. This free test is often given by newly trained “healthcare providers”. This test is very technique sensitive. It’s like hitting a vein for an IV some nurses have a knack for it some nurses stab you 6-7 times and then call in another nurse. This test is often not accurate (ask the Ohio governor and thousands of others who received a false positive.) and many people claim a false negative is actually more common. 

i have been tested wasnt bad at all.  no pain at all and i got the test back within 2 days & didnt cost me one dime..  may not be accurate and you may still have it but it was a relief to know i was negitive at that time.   ill tell you whats going to happen.  one player is going to get sick and the season will be over.

B O E   everywhere are not going to let us play unless we have a solution.

they will table this or put this off until it goes away and it want   no season.

somebody smarter than me come up with a solution or kiss the season good bye

There is never going to be blanket testing of players in high school. Never. It’s not college or pro ball. Notwithstanding cost, the logistics would be prohibitive. When are the 50-100 players going to be tested? During their academic classes or after practice? When does that minimum hour commitment take place for the team? Testing all players, managers, coaches, refs, and chain gang (which is mingled with all the above throughout the game) isn’t possible even once a week. 

sec  is going to be tested twice a week players coaches etc

    • 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.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
