Giles County had a huge win in a terrific back-and-forth game versus Power Center. Douglass demolished York and appears as if they might be the favorites from here on out. Should be fun inside the Murphy Center tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the appeal the TSSAA basically acknowledged that the Fairview player should NOT have been ejected at the end of the Sectional game however they also were unwilling to set the precedent of overturning an ejection that was made by an official. The TSSAA basically established the stance that they value officials egos more than the student athletes. That player will graduate high school in 10 weeks and has personally overcame more than I will share on this CoachT thread during his 4 years of high school. Trust me. I know. The TSSAA decision that was made basically robbed that young man of his shining moment of playing in a State Tournament game. The final score to the game was 63-60. I’ll say it. The decision played a huge role in costing Fairview High School a chance at a victory in a TSSAA State Tournament Game. Fairview had to play that game without arguably their best player who tore his ACL and meniscus in the District Championship Game a few weeks ago. When you combine his injury to the wrongful suspension of another of the team’s starting players it really set them up for failure in what was supposed to be the prize moment of the team’s great season. It was truly a miracle that they were nearly able to pull off such an incredible comeback in spite of having the deck totally stacked against them. It’s a credit to the coaches and players. Any player suspension that is overturned by the TSSAA after the injustice that happened in this instance will open Pandora’s Box. That is the precedent that has been established in this instance. Was the player that got ejected the same one that got a tech the previous game? Or am I mixing the two stories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
