Okay last thing I'm going to say..if the TSSAA decides that DB can't go on on the playoffs for any reason, it will be a travesty..DB has done nothing wrong in this situation..they were warming up on the field ready to play with no covid positive tests when they found out other team got a call that a player tested positive. Then the government offices get involved and all heck breaks loose. Seems to me that it wouldn't take too long for whatever paperwork the TSSAA needed could of got done Saturday morning and if it was Mcminn had done nothing wrong the game could've been played Saturday night. Don't tell me it could not of been done Saturday morning if they really wanted it to. If TSSAA rules Db can't advance then Bernard Children's needs to come himself to tell them why they can't advance even though done nothing wrong

No matter how bad the TSSAA is, surely the man shouldn't have to send his children out to explain things. ☺️

Your comments are based upon RUMORS! Just like you mentioned in your post.

Your right and I plainly stated that they were rumors that I had heard and didn't know of they were true or not!  If you are so adamant that they are" WRONG! "Which is how your responded with a one word response.What are YOUR thoughts because obviously you think you know more than I do and you know the whole story since you are 100% sure I'm wrong.

Nothing is 100% unless I say so.

This I do know. There is no way in heck that DB will not advance. Right it down, take a picture of it...this is going to happen. No fault of either program and no fault of any individual that has occurred over the last 4-5 days. It’s unfortunate as McMinn doesn’t have teams like this but about every 20 or so years. 
Ive said it before. This is unprecedented times so make an unprecedented decision to play on Monday evening and push the 3rd round game back to Saturday night. Bottom line let the kids determine the outcome on the field as I’m sure both teams are willing to do.

I agree I hope that it does get played out on the field, but unfortunately I don't think this happens. What concerns me is the TSSAA can't even make a decision on this early Saturday morning or at the very latest Saturday evening and try to play Monday night. As of right now the options are so slim for either team to compete against each other and they will have to make a rash decision that should favor DB or at the worst case give Maryville another bye in the 3rd round. I would just like to know the real truth and why this game couldn't be played just like all the others that had covid issues.

    • 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.
