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?

It's all good bro.    We would welcome you but you will be in the company of rednecks, that ok?

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.

All I know is I pay a lot for season tickets and now I only get 3 home games and just don’t understand why they couldn’t play this weekend or Monday.TSSAA should never let this happen but they could care less.
