We hadn’t had 1 problem with basketball. Same with football. You know why I know?? I have been to every Gibson County game and the same people are at every game and I thank the good Lord for that. People set with their families and spread out. Temperature checks and masks. 

Just let the kids play. If it has to be watched online then so be it. These kids have literally put a life time of  practice into  playing this game at a high level. Let them play. We’ll watch however we have too. They deserve better than they’re getting at this point.

Yes I should’ve added that in there. I’m sure a lot of the schools do it right with temp checks, and no doubt GC does it right out there as well. I don’t agree with saying that the 10 limit thing and not making another mask mandate though. People are more prone to get it from going out and eating someplace else than at a High school basketball game. The kids deserve to play, and the parents and family, friends deserve to be apart of that experience

Don’t know how that works. Don’t think Gibson is set up for that. I have two accounts with NFHS.

The TCA at Gibson County game in The Gibson County Holiday classic will be video streamed on West Tennessee Sports at https://www.facebook.com/WestTennesseeS1/ . Tap the above link and then look for the LIVE button. I will go live at approximately 5:50 p.m. for the scheduled 6:00 p.m. tip off

I agree. I believe letting athletes play is a no brainer however the fans in the stands part is the issue. I wish more people were like you, I was at a game last week where players have to submit their four names for tickets and one gentlemen came that was not on the list and absolutely dog cussed the teacher at the gate, the administrator, and then the SRO before being escorted out. It was really embarrassing how some people act. Unfortunately some people say they want the students to play but are unwilling to sacrifice to make that happen.

Hope they go by percentage and not a specific number since gym size varies. Small schools will have a hard time paying officials. 
Elderly probably need to stay home for a while. Cases are up but death rates are still low. If you are under 60 , very little risk of dying unless you have other morbidities. yes, there are exceptions.

As Lee said kids need to play. Even if no one can come , kids need an outlet for normalcy. TSSAA provide leadership and direction.

Tennessee has the highest coronavirus cases per capita singce Thanksgiving but the majority of y'all only care if little Jane and little Joe can play a high school basketball that only means something to them.  How selfish are y'all??

 

"As Tennessee leads the United States in coronavirus cases per capita following a post-Thanksgiving spike, the state’s health commissioner warned Sunday that the hospital system will crumble if residents don’t slow the spread of the virus by staying home, wearing masks and avoiding large gatherings"

“If we have another surge over Christmas, it will break our hospitals,” Tennessee Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey said at a news conference, according to the Tennessean.

Tennessee is averaging almost 10,000 new coronavirus cases, and almost 100 deaths, per day, according to The Washington Post’s tracker. About 45,000 people are hospitalized for covid in the state, with about 12,000 in the intensive care unit. On Saturday, Tennessee recorded a 30 percent positivity rate, a new high, according to the Tennessean.

In the weeks following Thanksgiving, daily reported cases in Tennessee doubled. A similar trajectory played out across the country, and health officials warn that Christmas gatherings could lead to an even larger surge."

    • 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.
