So where did the video come from and what did it show? Glad the board carried punishment. It was the fair thing to do based on past cases. Time to learn and move on. 

Video came from a person in Franklin County. According to what was stated by a board member, “it’s hard to tell what is happening on the Shelbyville sidelines. “
The vote was split 7-5. I thought Shelbyville did a fair job presenting there case. I also thought the Board was consistent with their previous actions.

How is this a fair punishment. Shelbyville was going to playoffs as a #2 seed and FC was not and actually initiated the fight that led to the brawl. These punishments are not the same for both teams as FC could care less about a playoff ban considering they wasn’t going this year and possibly next year to. While Shelbyville is in contention for the region next year also.

Punishment was due to the official's report. The video from an outside source was inconclusive and of poor quality - it neither fully supported nor fully contradicted the officials report.  I have not seen the video but board members alluded that the "brawl" on video wasn't as bad as the official report. One board member pointed out that  a certain player was clearly the instigator and is seen on video starting several confrontations and he wasn't even ejected by the eagle eyed officials. The official stated he could have ejected over 30 players and Shelbyville pointed out they only dressed 31 due to contact tracing. From the conference Childress and Swallows came off as pushing for punishment. Several others were clearly in favor of Shelbyville. Childress effectively said since the video doesn't 100% exonerate Shelbyville we have to convict which seems like the opposite of what it should be. Tough call. Just hate it for the kids especially the 16 who weren't allowed at the game due to contact tracing.

Voljacket it is fair based on past cases of similar circumstances. 

Now if you want to say is it fair for an entire team to be punished for the actions of some? I would say no but the TSSAA has been doing this for years. Is it fair for a team to be penalized because a player used an invalid address and no one else knew? It happens. Hate that this happened but learn from it.

You mean like using the address of the Aluminum Company as your home address?

A player used an invalid address or a coach allowed a player to use an invalid address??

    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.  
    • Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
    • Facts...until someone takes down the Rebels they should be the favorite. Got loads of young guys salivating at the opportunity to prove themselves and get a 3peat! Blazer how is Region 1 looking this year?
