So, what have the Metro schools been able to do with their football players to get them ready to play? Any team activities around weight lifting, conditioning, etc.?

I'm curious as to how they are going to compete with non-Metro teams that will have already played 4 or 5 games before Metro football kicks off.

Been doing everything like any other year except playing on Fridays. At least we have!!!

Charger Fan, Will Covington play Sheffield ? It is on the schedule and they are Shelby County.

At this point, nobody knows. Shelby County Schools are supposed to decide this week if they can play football. And, if the answer is yes, then they have to decide on a schedule. They have a proposal in front of them to only play other SCS teams, then to play a County  championship, rather than be in the TSSAA playoffs. If they choose that proposal, the game with Covington would not happen.

Shelby County (Memphis) just announced that fall sports will be postponed until further notice again. While we are glad to see the other 94 counties across the lovely state of Tennessee play football on Friday night, the athletes of Shelby County schools are out. Hate it for the players that uses football as an escape and use football as a "only way out" for them and their family. Also hate for the bands, athletic trainers, and officials in Memphis that all play a role in order to make Friday Night Lights special. But Memphis is out.

So now that Shelby teams are not playing do you guys just sit for two Rds in the playoffs or the add teams that wouldn’t normally get in?

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
