DB Didn’t want to play Friday night McMinn want to play. Haidet for the kids but you have give the Win to McMinn. 

Except there seems to be some evidence that it wasn’t a DB’s decision not to play. And it was McMinn who showed up with a covid issue. Aside from the kid who tested positive earlier in the week, how many players did he practice with on Monday? I don’t see McMinn advancing here.

I think “fault “ is a strong word. Covid isn’t the fault of either team. I think it’s more so who’s “issue” the situation was. No, it wasn’t mcminns fault, but it was their issue. DB has no fault either AND the issue wasn’t on their end. Hence it’s hard to reach a conclusion that DB doesn’t advance unless it’s a no contest or by some miracle they will play the game and that seems unlikely.

and we can go back and forth with different words all day. End of the day, the game needs to be played, 6a brackets go on hold for a week (or they all could go on hold for a week) and lets find out.

Can they go on hold tho? I thought that earlier in the season, talk of moving the blue cross bowl games was considered not feasible because of the timing, staff available and contracts in place for the specific weekend it’s scheduled for, that basically it couldn’t be moved. If it could then I think that *could* be an option. McMinn may be down a few players tho if it’s determined that a portion of their team was exposed to a positive teammate and is/was supposed to quarantine for 14 days.

To that point, every other team is fighting this thing as well. Cases are rising everywhere. It's a race against time at this point. Delaying an additional week could mean no state championships for several classifications. Don't think it's fair to those classifications to have to wait on 6A to catch up. 6A is already playing on Saturday for championship week, shouldn't be a huge disruption.

Maybe the T$$AA will just fedex participation trophies to all schools this year and wash their hands of it....

The longer the wait, the higher the likelihood that they'll drop some bad news at the end of the business day and let the answering machines take the calls. Conflict Resolution 101 in the TSSAA handbook.

Yeah if we haven’t heard by now, definitely rule out playing today. 

So only 3 scenarios left:

1. Play the game tomorrow.

2. DB receives a COVID win and advances.

3. No contest and Maryville gets a Quarterfinal Bye.

    • 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.
