that's correct but I still think there was supposed to be a home and away but maybe that will have to come another season.  the other 3 just wanted out.  it's all 2nd or 3rd hand info so take it for what it's worth.  i'm just trying to keep things interesting.  : )

I mean we're still pretty full on beating privates last year. Gotta slim down a little. Oakland learned the hard way that you better have a backup plan if you schedule Pulaski

that's funny but it could have gone the other way very easily...twice!

when did you play pulaski?  the LA game is still on their YT page.  it's funny to watch and listen to them reason how they are about to get back into it at any moment.  then finally admit they were out matched and try to think of the last running clock on them.

It could have, but it didn't; sometimes the margin between victory and defeat is razor thin. Oakland had scheduled Pulaski but never got a chance to play them, cancelled before the season started, on pretty short notice. Never been a big fan of the way Pulaski plays, but obviously works for them

I joke about it but pretty soon the schedule for Oakland is going to look like a private school, nothing but out of state games and games against privates

If you require teams to pay a  cancellation fee between $15,000 and $25,000 if they cancel a game this nonsense will stop. If they refuse to sign you know that they are not serious about playing

Then your going to be playing alot of 6-7 game seasons because nobody on either side is going to agree to that, in this state. This isn't College or the NFL

Why would you not agree to pay the cancelation fee if you are serious about playing the game?  As a principal I would have no problem signing the contract because I fully expect to play the game.  The bottom line is that a cancelation fee of between 15-25 thousand dollars completely eliminates the less than honest people or at the very least it holds them accountable.  Just think about the amount of revenue a team loses (gate receipts, concessions, parking, etc...) when someone has a home game canceled.

LA had 4 cancel the return to their place and 3 were out of state who had already traveled here!  makes no sense.  looking forward to oakland coming to nashville when they can work it in.  : )

Only got room for one Nashville private at a time. Maybe next time you can call us during the offseason

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
