Now that I just made that last poast  - somebody remind me, was Grundy in the old SVC? Seems like they were so we could have 8 teams?

From North to South - Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Whitwell, Jasper, South Pittsburg, (Grundy??), Bridgeport and Stevenson

Whats the name of your dog in this race?

Grundy was in the SVC and use to play some good ball.

I hate the fact that old rivalry has faded into the past, and politics of sports have ruined a good thing. It hurts the schools financially - SP / NJ / Jasper games could all be big gates with little more cost than a home game, for the away team. I guess I am not smart enough to understand why you would not drive  < 12 miles to play people you know in front of a big crowd. Plus it's a non-conference game, not counting in the big scheme of getting that shiny ball everyone wants - it might even help if the competition is good.

Last thought - the boys miss out on suiting up, and going against a buddy or even kinfolk.

Let old PP68 learn you a thang or two. NJ quit playing us. We handed them their first loss in school history when they came to Jasper and Pumpy Tudors steamrolled them. The following year we hung their first loss at home on them. We had an All State qb that was on kickoffs and just so happened that a NJ kid that never played picked a fight with him and he got tossed before playing a snap. We put in a 2nd string qb and won that one I believe 30-28. (That 2nd string qb led us to a state title a couple years later though.) They had no interest in playing anymore. Would they play now?? I don't know.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I explained that in an earlier post but I guess he stepped on his spectacles.

I remember that NJ game very well. I believe it as a NJ kid that was on the kickoff team that never played who intentionally picked the fight.

    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
