She still has offers to play at next level.  I can’t remember is she committed or not.  I am sure she is practicing with them and working on her game.  She played this summer with them is the weird part.

She has committed to a college in New York.

I also never proclaimed to be the “ best in 3A” either! Sk I just that would be the difference. But yea it was a great win by north side, they are a good team that is well coached!

Other than makeup games, this week is the end of regular season play. This is when it gets interesting

I got a buddy that has a son that plays in Memphis all the time especially in spring and summer and he says that a lot of the Memphis kids swap up by saying their parents are not raising them or that they can't be located some times or they have no home....etc...I don't guess they are ever questioned. It is bad too with players swapping teams. I know TSSAA has bylaws on custody rulings, primary custody...etc...Seems like Memphis is the wild west. 

Memphis Shelby County Schools have tons of optional schools. Kids can attend any school with an optional program where they are "accepted". 

Any student can claim homelessness. Even if they are not homeless. In an urban area, a kid can move schools, use a new address that is a shared residence, grandparents, aunt/uncle, brother/sister, church member, guardian's coworker, etc... no one is going around from the TSSAA checking to see if the kid lives there. 

The municipals like Bartlett and Germantown Municipal have open enrollment. So they can get the kids early and not have to worry so much about all of that. The private schools poach kids young too. The public schools will recruit your kid in the handshake line after a game. 

I don't know why people complain so much about this. If you don't understand the contrast of rural TN to urban TN then move to the urban area so you can partake in the same shady dealings.

The polls don't matter. Some of these top ranked teams won't make it out of their region.

Yeah I don't know that there is a rule in the bylaws for homelessness. Thought in the past even in a divorce the custodial parents residence won over if a kid has a HS record. I don't know now what the rules are now. Pretty obvious it is the wild west unless someone turns them in.

Even if someone turns them in I doubt there will be an investigation.

Not much matters until the district tournaments start next week but there are some pretty good games in 3A tonight.

Upperman at White County

South Gibson at Dyersburg

Sevier Co (4A) at Cocke Co 

Lenoir City at Heritage - went to OT in their first game

Major implications for the District 13AAA Tournament tonight. A win by the Lady Trojans locks the #1 seed. Entering tonight, we know that Crockett County is locked in the 2-3 game and that Dyer County and Obion County are locked in the 4-5 game. Districts are at Dyer County.

A win by South Gibson locks up number 1 seed as well right??

For all intents and purposes it would. However, SGC and Obion County chose to make up a game after the regular season. With that said, SGC has two district games remaining after tonight. And even though Obion is winless, I’ve learned to never say too much until all the games are final.
