Honestly, lots of folks are distrustful of TSSAA's TRUE mission, myself included. I've been expectantly waiting to see who would be the first to fall out of step and if anyone would follow for a handful of years now... what caught me off guard was that color was designated as the primary reason for Tennessee's largest system to be examining the possibility of existing without TSSAA's structure. If SCBOE wants to be taken seriously, and for other disgruntled systems to consider their options as well, they need to expose the more prevalent shortcomings, not just "playing the race card".

It’s always easier to play the race card victim... that’s what’s in style these days!

I read this.  You would be on an island sir.  Play by the rules like everybody else.  

Yeah I'm not sure what their plan would be all by themselves in the far corner of the state.  Believe me, I've not always agreed with the TSSAA on everything, but I applaud and appreciate them for going to bat for these kids that deserve and have earned some normalcy in football.

Would like to hear from Shelby County fans regarding the statement from Superintendent Dr. Ray regarding the TSSAA

I respect Dr. Ray's thoughts and it's slick my sentiments. My fellow Whitehaven alum is tired of the constant Uncooperative ways of TSSAA and WE in Memphis would be better served playing folks in our Tri-state area, OUR OWN area and nationally where we can. Especially as it concerns Basketball. I'll hang up and listen and maybe read the full statement as I just mainly read the CA's article.

I can understand the POV. I don't see the end game. However, let me state, Like BHS, I've only read the article in the CA. I haven't done any research on the matter. I'm going to listen to Dr. Ray on 92.9 FM on the Jason and John show at about 11:45 AM this morning.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
