How many basketball Champions were crowned last spring?  None in the public sector.  If team does not get to the championship game, remaining teams became semi-finalist.  If there is a game for the Championship in football this fall, someone will win it.  If a team has to drop out, then the other team not effected should win state.  If there is not a game, then they are semi-finalist at best.

You said it. I think the bottom line was to get football started to get some money but since the fall break for a lot of schools this pandemic has picked up like a California forest fire. I'm prepared for the cancellation for the playoffs at any moment and we'll be arguing for the rest of our lives who was the best team in 2020. For the rest of the sports I seriously doubt they will even get a chance to play.

I don’t know a kid in West TN that has been seriously ill from Covid. Where are you getting this info?? TSSAA don’t make money unless they play playoffs. They are not stopping now.

Wouldn't it be feasible to have the championship game on 12/12 or 12/19 if there's a positive since the state championship games are the last ones anyway? Tech doesn't play until 2021.

I had hoped that they would do that before the season to build in extra weeks before the playoffs to get games played. They made their decision to keep it as is and I can’t say it surprised me. They are a very status quo organization that does not like to adjust or change much of anything. Not a lot of vision or forward thinking unfortunately.

Things are getting worse far as rise in numbers are concerned. It will be a bunch of school systems that will pull out not the TSSAA leaving them with a very hard situation to figure out week by week.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
