In week 6 DB had some type of covid issue (we never found out exactly) and they let Boone know a couple of days before the game.    Or maybe the health dept did it, I'm not sure.
There was a lot of finger pointing, speculation, "I heard...", "they say...", etc. but in the end the game was cancelled.     Boone claimed DB never gave them enough info, DB claimed Boone was just afraid to play (which is ridiculous, we knew last year when the game was scheduled we would lose.... Boone schedules several non-winnable games each year).    I have no idea who was really at fault in that one but DB did let us know a few days before game time.
There is something about this MCMINN game though that does not pass the smell test....  the word leaks out 40 minutes before the game starts?!?!?     Nah, not buying it, something is fishy somewhere....

The player in question in that instance was a JV player who had no contact with the Varsity players. (according to the staff). There was a little trash talk about Boone cancelling but they did the right thing. Why risk it for a non conference game.

Exactly, the point being that DB notified Boone several days in advance, not 40 minutes before kickoff....  something not right about this MCMINN situation..

The Tssaa waiting until Monday is crazy. Bill Lee needs to clean the Tssaa out or everyone needs to contact their local Representative and they need to take over and clean Tssaa out. 

Governor Lee has no authority over the TSSAA. It is not a government agency. It is an independent non profit (yeah I laugh at that, too, but they do have nonprofit status) that the schools voluntarily submit to as their athletics regulatory body.

    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen. 
    • I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
    • Lieutenant Flip flops is on a roll. #1 recruiter in Anderson Co, fo-sho.
