So they can’t play Saturday, Sunday, or Monday because of who knows what? Will they still play a JV game on Monday?

I was kinda kidding about this earlier Saturday morning. But I fully believe that both coaches saw an opportunity to avoid having to play the two 4A powerhouses in East Tennessee and jumped on it. We both loose revenue (band concessions, ticket sales, local business) and what’s worse, our senior athletes loose one of their only 4 home games. This should not be allowed to happen. The TSSAA should not allow this to happen. It’s breach of contract.

So let's see if we can get this straight....   Boone is afraid to play Elizabethton, but yet continues to schedule them year after year after year....      If avoidance of play was the real issue wouldn't it be much simpler to... oh, I dunno, maybe just stop scheduling them?            And Mo West has played Greeneville 46 times, I guess I'm failing to see why they keep scheduling them over and over.      If you want to make the argument that either Boone or MoWest is afraid to play these opponents then you are going to have to explain why they were not dropped from the schedules years ago.                On another note, it really bites for Elizabethton to lose this home game especially when there were only 4 to begin with, on that we can agree.

You know I’m just stirring the pot. But, I may try to come to Mo West and cheer you guys on. Got room for a psychotic idiot and few cowbells? ;)

I know at least one Boone player who’s not afraid to play E-town and pretty upset the game is cancelled.  The players had nothing to do with the decision. And what exactly would the coaches “be afraid of?” They don’t get physically hurt, it’s non- conference, and it's not like it’s a spotless record on the line- so… not an accurate or informed statement to say “Boone is afraid to play a game” 

My understanding is yes- between the coaches and the refs- Thursday was the best date to reschedule.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
