Keep all the glittery things, we will just keep winning. However… open zones. Just make it open across the board, not just LC. 

Open zone or not, transfers have to sit from the date of their last participation for one full calendar year. I wouldn't be concerned too much, even if everything is true...one video of one kid and the whole thing comes crashing down, and secrets are hard to keep.

That's why I have trouble thinking they would try to pull this. Way too many eyes saw these kids play last fall.

Can TSSAA do anything if previous schools put down last day of participation August 1st, 2021 knowing they played last year? There is obviously film of a lot of these players playing deep into the regular season/playoffs last year and most of those are out of zone. I do not believe many parents if any got a new address in zone, especially since there are no apartments in that area and it really is a hard area to move into if you are not in one of the big two neighborhoods zoned for it. I mentioned a lot about football which they are not eligible for playoffs, but all the other sports are and this effects them too.

Yeah the other sports, like softball.  Check out the state contending softball roster they've put together out there and those of you saying let them play out of zone might think about taking that statement back.

I’m not sure if the entire roster, but I know there are a ton of rising freshmen going in softball. That makes it an open zone issue more than a TSSAA issue. If you’re going to let one school recruit and poach, let everyone.

I think it should be like Knoxville, open enrollment for rising freshman and then out of zones for other grades are on a case by case basis. Allowing only Liberty Creek to do it caused this huge mess. They opened the school to relieve pressure from Beech and Station Camp while Gallatin is still sitting at 2,000 students. The school is still trying to poach kids telling them they will be eligible if they go right now..

I think you don't know what open enrollment is and don't know what Knox County school board policy actually is either.  Sumner County is an open enrollment the same way Knox Co. is with a transfer policy on file with the school board. (See attached Sumner County Policy is).  You can't just go to any school you want to as a freshman in Knox County and have to apply for a transfer from zoned school and have it approved by the school board (Same as Sumner County).  I'm not saying that some school systems are easier to get transfer pushed through than other but i would guess to say that over 95% of the schools in Tennessee are classified as open zoned.

If what the first post that was said was true then i would turn the school into the TSSAA.  The of Schools can do what he pleases but the TSSAA can make those student ineligible no matter what new Board Policy is approved since they already have an athletic record at an out of zone school.

Apologies, it is a lot easier in Knox County then the headache Sumner County has created. This is the second year in a row Sumner County has shut down all out of zone requests even rising Freshman. Liberty Creek is the only school allowing it, and I believe West Moreland.

Too many things in this thread that are just inaccurate.  Principal and AD at schools weren't asked to falsify records.  Previous schools do not have to give the date of last participation unless asked.  Current school fills out the transfer form.  All incoming freshmen enrolled in the school are eligible.  All students zoned to the new school are eligible.  All other students may request a hardship that will either be approved or denied by the TSSAA.  The information contained in the hardship request is subject to the integrity of the persons filling it out.  The previous school should be involved by sending a letter stating that the move was not for athletic purposes (this could be subject to Director influence).  These rules apply to all sports, not just football.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
