Let's say hypothetically that football gets moved to spring AND/OR kids are able to go back to school in early September.

-Bump up first practice date to Oct 1st

-Let schools scrimmage OR do play days after Oct 9th with NO fans in attendance.

-Jamborees Oct 17th

-Start HOF games on Oct 19th, Season would start Oct 23rd (NO holiday tourneys this year)

NO district tournaments. Top 4 district winners will go to region. And go from there.  I absolutely want to see a basketball season, even if that means checking temps, taping off sections of gyms.

If football goes to spring then we have a mess..baseball will play until late October then football coaches will want their kids to be lifting and practicing instead of hoops. Would not be good. Best case is to shorten football to 8 games, skip by week and take top 2 in each region for playoffs. Do the same in hoops. Take schedule down to 18 games including district games. District tourney take top 2 not top 4 and be done in February. But who knows the powers that are in control will panic at the first sign of a flu symptom. Crazy how more kids pass away in car crashes every year but we don’t keep them from driving at 16.  I am like you I just wanna see high school sports. It’s good for the kids. Fans should be there just have every fan sign a waiver list when they purchase their ticket and check em at the door

Football is not moving to Spring.  If football plays it will be in the Fall with the earliest games being played third week of September.  Just wonder how this might effect the starting dates for basketball.  Games used to start Monday of Thanksgiving week and full season was still played ending around same time.  So a one or two week delay would be no big problem.  Also would give a little extra practice time which I feel coaches all need anyways.  This said, Anything that is decided by TSSAA is subject to change at anytime with this mess still going around.

Have no basketball tournaments till end of season. 20 game schedule. 2 each team in district and remaining games in same region etal bradley plays each district opponent 2 times 14 games then 2 each with say rhea stone and white county. Let district regular season winner host the district tournament (play for something during the season). District tourney winner hosts region tournament. Keep sweet 16 and state tourney format the same except have boys and girls in same week

Football going to the spring wouldn't be such a bad idea... it makes more sense in more ways than just the COVID-19 pandemic.  The only down side is that some football coaches would want the footballers to be lifting during baseball and basketball seasons... I'm sure they will work with the basketball coaches; I mean, basketball and baseball coaches have always had to work with them to share athletes... so they will return the favor...

That last sentence is laughable.

      several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.

Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.

      GoFundMe for Blackman Freshman with Spinal Cord Injury

      By mat73557 · Posted

      Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
