I believe the first was marijuana.  He was with Dabbs of Greeneville when it happened, I do know that.

Dabbs was suspended till after the first of the new year for his role.  Gillespie only sat out three games. 

Dabbs also continued to play football.  No punishment there.  So he would have been late to basketball anyway, right?

 

Did Gillespie face any punishment with football it was D-B out?

If it was his first time I don’t care to play him but after this you can’t play him. I don’t see how he can be changed with DUI. I guess the only way is that push button ignition.

Tennessee is one of many states that can charge you with a DUI if you have physical control of a motor vehicle. (Factors that play in to physical control include: where the driver is in relation to the vehicle; the location of the vehicle’s key; whether the engine is running or not; the driver’s ability to move or operate the vehicle (if the driver was not intoxicated); and the extent to which the vehicle was capable of being operated.) The state has to prove that the person had the potential to drive the car when they are caught.  (Keys in pocket and with one push of a button to start the car is the problem.  If he didn't have keys on him or was asleep in the back when they got there then it would be hard to press charges).

No, they were already out in football when this occurred I believe.

Found his mon on Facebook.  She posted that indeed he was not allowed to travel with the team and an appeal had been made to the principal, AD and school board.  They are driving down tomorrow.  Guess there's a possibility that if they win an appeal and they win tomorrow, maybe he could play the semifinal?  Not sure how an appeal like that could even work out.

I’ll be surprised if the school board and administration agree to let him play. He’s already been given a second chance. I don’t see them giving him another. It’s unfortunate. Biggest game of the season 4 days away and he makes a bad decision that may cost his team another championship. Gotta be smarter than that.

If I was his mom or dad, I think I'd be far more concerned with his well being and penchant for making terrible decisions, and trying to get him some help than I would be trying to petition the school board so he can play a freakin' basketball game.

I've been wondering. Is the 42 state championships teams only or singles also?

Yeah, just teams. All sports teams at OR combined.
