Forfeit tonight

I was disappointed to see Lookout Valley listed as a forfeit to Van Buren, unless numbers due to sickness and/or injuries have them too low. I’ve seen plenty of teams go with 6 and play at times without subbing. No they haven’t had a good season but they did play two in the district tournament just last week. Any penalty for forfeits just to avoid a heavy loss, if numbers available weren’t a factor?

second straight year they have forfeited their first-round region game.

They probably don’t have good numbers and they definitely haven’t had the wins the last couple of years, especially compared to when players from the city would show up there-but if they can’t fulfill a region schedule the TSSAA needs to consider if they should be a TSSAA program. Let them play non league for a classification period.

Don’t want anyone to forfeit but TSSAA has to change the system.  Districts with 4 teams letting lots of teams in regional that have no business in it. Used to have to earn the region   Teams in boys and girls all over the state getting beat by 40-60 points. It’s ridiculous 

The blowouts in the 1st round of regions have always been a thing though, especially in the east, and especially in 1A. On one hand the TSSAA doesn't need to have 3 and 4 team districts. But on the other hand, in 1A at least, there's only so much that can be done. Aside from the Roane/Morgan county area, 1A teams east of the Cumberland plateau are sparse. Between consolidation, and the decreasing RURAL population in eastern TN, there fewer and fewer 1A schools.

That’s why the system needs to be changed.  Why do 4 teams have to advance

I could live with or perhaps the top 3 out of district play advance. From the region level on, I say put an extra layer of tape on your ankles and synch up your pants, single elimination moving forward

Skip the sectional round and region champs go to state?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
