Anyone ever heard of a pitch count violation for a JV player causing a forfeit for a district championship?? Last night it happened!

Houston defeated Collierville on the field last night, 5-2. now the game is under protest over JV pitch count.

A JV pitch count?  How would/did that affect a varsity game?

6. The pitch count will apply to any player who pitches and is cumulative each day. JV pitch count and high school varsity pitch count are linked together. Example: a pitcher who pitches 45 Varsity pitches on Monday is not permitted to pitch JV on Tuesday.

Coach mistake.

Why are you still playing JV games the week of the district tournament?

Heck if you've got enough kids in the program to do that, that's awesome. Give the young kids as many games as you can.

 

The better question, IMO, is why you'd be playing a kid you think you might LEGITIMATELY need for districts in a JV game that week.

Exactly.It amazes me how every year in any sport a Head Coach doesnt know the rules.Whether lots tranfer,eligibility or even a JV/Varsity pitch count and its costs the whole team advancement.Its all in black and white!Just take some time and read the rules.

And then the the folks down in Hermitage let the kid from Powell pitch, even though there is irrefutable evidence that shows he wasn't eligible to pitch. Unbelievable.

Bearden’s coach should have never signed the paper saying that the pitch count was 105. That’s what tssaa is always going to go by. I don’t agree with pitching him either but it clearly states in the rules and on that form that it is what is going to be the official pitch count.

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
