TN High School Football Teams vs COVID

Is there an end in sight to the madness? Over 30 games cancelled last week (including a marquee Trousdale County vs Upperman matchup) and some teams haven't even been able to play a game yet. Hope for the kids sake that this wave calms down soon and we can get back to watching our all of our favorite teams and rivals on the gridiron.

Just seems weird. I don't have the numbers but it seems like last year there were less cancellations.

We were several weeks into the season before cancellations had any frequency and then it was this many at a time.

We have had numerous starters out or not practicing for the entire week. We have been looking forward to this year my sons entire football career. His junior year. Now theres been nothing but trouble. Interestingly enough I live on the Ky line. They are allowing kids from last year that graduated to play another year of football!!! Thats crazy but most of our kids graduate and they arw only 17 and especially not over 18 like Trousdale co or watertown has so that makes alittle sense I guess. Football means alot to many people.

Folks, I think we all need to come to the realization that at some point you have to put the health of the kids first.  I hate it. Hate it. Hate it.  But at the end of the day, that is what's best.  As of this post, there is no discussion, to my knowledge, of McKenzie/South Fulton having any issues for this week.  But, who knows with this mess what the next 5 minutes will bring.

Health of the kids??????

What a joke.... this is all about optics....do your research on the number of people ages 0-20 who have been hospitalized with COVID.... I'll bet the number of student athletes of that fractional percentage is minute...

    • Yeah they both should be good games whoever matches up with who. Wartburg has beaten Oliver Springs all 4 times they’ve played this year but they have been close games. I believe Wartburgs first sectional appearance was last year when they went to North Greene. Good luck to you all!
    • What did they do this year? Every other year, I’ve gone to one. It’s been a little scrimmage and then a bunch of games like a quarterback throwing challenge, O line versus D line, push-up challenge, etc.    But not surprised, nothing new that the program has been on the decline since they lost their recruiting middle school coach. The baseball coach still does his fair share, but he recruits good baseball players. Not good football players, and decent baseball players, definitely nothing like the middle school coach could do, he left for a middle school job down near Cleveland high school a few years back.
    • Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.
    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.
