Are you serious? That would suck for coaches trying to prep and also for fans that may need to make arrangements to travel or have plans already made for Thursday.

Yes, sir, coaches hate it. Haven’t heard if there is any plans to adjust this season or not.

It's been mentioned that playing a HS varsity game on Thursdays could hurt middle school attendance. That is a definite truth, especially in small towns where fans attend both kind of games. The other thing is many of the MS game officials are also officials on Friday nights. So are MS games going to have to be moved or cancelled?

In the past our middle schools have changed their games to Tuesday or if it’s know well enough in advance they try to schedule around that game.

I hope that they consider that Thursday night is a school night, and keep travel short. I (as a fan) actually love that there will be games on Thursday! When my school plays one of them, I'll have the option of any game in the area on Friday, and when they play on the usual Friday, hopefully one of the teams that I would be interested in seeing would play. There is the potential of lost gate money in playing short on Thursday, as most rival games (big gates) are short. 

  I wish that they would allow each school to submit a preference list of about 4 games in order of, and consider these lists when scheduling...hopefully coaches would be wise about their choices.

I agree

Should a region game be played on Thursday since it's a school night & region games are 'supposedly closer'  in a sense?  or should those all important region games always be played on Friday?  

Our region games for the most part are usually one sided.  Honestly, if they were on a Thursday night it wouldn't bother me a bit.

    • 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. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
