My family and I were planning on coming for a York/Clarkrange game today to find out Clarkrange forfeits instead of playing.  I have supported athletics in both schools I feel it’s a shame that schools so close won’t play.  It’s BS to say it’s because it’s over something that happened 40 years ago.  Wonder if you can get a refund on season tickets because I will not be using my Clarkrange one anymore.

Can somebody this to a non-UC guy? Clarkrange forfeited rather than play York? Makes no sense to me

Long standing agreement since the 1970’s when there was a shooting/murder during the game. Only if they face each other in district play will they play.

Yes, Clarkrange forfeited the game according to the tournament director. 

To use the excuse that they can’t play York due to a shooting that happened 40-50 years ago is a pretty poor one. There is no agreement, rule or anything in place saying these two teams can’t play. York has been trying to schedule with Clarkrange for years and years but get turned down every time. The boys even used to scrimmage before the season a few years ago but for some reason the girls never wanted too. 

But the bracket for this tournament was put out over a month in advance, they knew there would be a possibility of meeting up with York… I feel bad for the girls from both teams to have this game taken away from them like this. York coaches wanted to play this game but Clarkrange had no intentions of wanting to play at all.

there was no murder involved.  Just a shooting during the game.  I think it was in 68.  The boys teams played in a Livingston Tournament 15 or 20 years ago in the consolation game there.  Livingston gym was packed with Fentress Countians and nothing happened but a basketball game.

Not true at all.... their was NO murder lololol....the shooting happened in 65-66 after the game and the teams played after that for several years.... the stoppage of play happened when an allegation of cheating by the scoreboard operator happened in the early 70's....

No reason at all for these teams not to play....

Ridiculous or dodging a loss.... call it what you want...

I got the story second hand and the person said someone died in the shooting. I guess it’s become an urban legend around here. They should play each other though. I was looking forward to going to the game.

They did not play in the 70's at all.  Nikki Whited and Ronnie Slaven were on that last York team to play Clarkrange  other than the previous mention consolation game in Livingston 15 or 20 years back

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
