Not to mention they take HALF of the money when it comes to the playoffs. HALF!!! The host school and the visiting school have to split the rest. How silly. This is a great example of a " not for profit " making huge salaries to " govern and enforce rules" while sitting in their fat offices drawing a big fat salary. It is obnoxious! 

Yeah that’s wild. You host a first round game and and 10 visiting fans show up sometimes.

The TSSAA has more issues than a transfer thing. I think it is time for them to considered adjusting the transfer rule. The TSSAA laid an egg in the basketball and baseball postseasons that was disappointing for an average sports fan. It's in the "rule book" or whatever, just rarely enforced. Unfortunately, I think it is time for them to readjusting it.

Someone mentioned “high jacking the Peabody thread” I don’t feel that way one bit, this has been a informative back and forth ! In reality Devine intervention stopped the Super team of Fairley from going to state, and  most likely losing to Meigs, Meigs brand of physical ball would have been to much , in that game Dickson ran for 10 plus yards every touch but we didn’t feed the beast ! Similar to the title game , Dickson with a MCL sprain ran over a defensive unit that was scary talented! I do feel as if in some way I am attacking the kids at MASE, but that hasn’t been any one’s intention here I believe ,Should they suffer from crooked adults behavior ? No! But that’s the nature of the beast I guess ! The deeper question is does winning matter that much ? Why yes it does ! Look at your small schools that put #### in seats and have amazing facilities because of that winning, a few of late I can say are UC PHS S Pitt just to name a few, not leaving folks out just theee very small schools that have 4 A facilities in small ball and have  multiple Gold or silver balls lately ! We are small town folks and these young men deserve fair play with the same rules for all and I feel that’s where the passion in this thread has came from , not Memphis hate ! It still broke my heart watching those Tidemen embrace those Fairly kids as they literally cried on our field  after the loss, in closing I feel all kids deserve a tssaa that upholds the rules of fair play 24/7 no exceptions ! Just imagine a couple more weeks till the Purple Pups come out and look for their shadow , they will se it again and will retreat into the Dawg Pound for another text book 0-1 start ! I wonder if the names Baugus And Driggers strike fear into the tiny pups hearts , do their paws shake , hearts race and make them long for the days of still being on BPMs tet again  ?

Good post. Especially the mic drop at the end.

I know the kid does, the coach I hear is a pretty good guy. This Friday should be fun as the Tide come to the Hornets Nest. Always a fun atmosphere for these two programs for their Jamboree.

Ha! Thanks man. Cant confirm or deny. 

I have been saying this for year, but this " Jamboree " is the best around IMO. I am not sure why other programs have not adopted this model for several reasons. First, the programs are not having to split a share of the money with schools that do not buy any tickets. Second, you are not herded through that field like cattle and all the kids get a chance to play. Varsity, JV, and Freshmen. Lastly, all the money stays in Gibson county. Both programs are really well ran and have an established history of playing winning football.

Agree 100%. It allows both teams to work on things they need to work on and keeping the money "in house" is the best way to go. Both communities as you stated support their teams. Not only in football, but in all sports. It also allows the bands to perform so even more parent/grandparents are there for revenue purposes. Definitely one of if not the best Jamboree setups in West Tennessee.

I saw this post on the Henry Co. Quarterback Club’s Facebook page.  

Patriots will have an open practice/game simulation with Trenton-Peabody tomorrow night (posted yesterday) at Patriot Stadium. Parents and fans are encouraged to attend. There is no admission fee.

Grove will begin at 4:30pm

Varsity will begin at 6:30pm

Is this happening?

Since Peabody and Henry Co. have 2 of the best football programs in rural west Tennessee, I’d love to hear how the Tide and Patriots fare against each other.

I will admit that I haven't read all 18 pages of this thread, so if this has already been mentioned, I apologize.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
