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

    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
