Some group that no one has ever heard of reminded Putnam County Schools that coaches and staff could not participate in student prayer.  In response, there was a player led post game prayer.  I agree with you, that should be end of story.  However, that's not how things happen these days.  Someone posted a photo with a caption.  That got re-posted and eventually wound up with a Fox17 post and it went from there.  So it's basically just another social media "news story".

I myself commend those kids at Baxter and Stone.

I do as well, it is commendable.  They absolutely did as they should.  But someone asked whether or not it was news worthy.  It is what happens in the current political environment.  On the one hand, some group wants to increase exposure by going after a southern rural school district and claims a victory when they think they've succeeded.  BTW, this was all over their site just a couple of days ago, no mention now. On the other hand, Fox gonna Fox.  It's all political, with an unwitting participant (high school football teams) as the medium.  Everyone has an agenda these days and the fact that it can penetrate small town sports means that it's everywhere.  However, since it did happen, I'm glad there is a counterpoint, Fox, regardless of their motivation.

Enough about this, hope everyone is healthy before and after the game Friday night.

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
