NFHS Coaches Association Award Program
young athletes use PEDs.“This is the first specific information we have
received on PED use in Tennessee,” said Ronnie Carter, executive director
of TSSAA. “The data will allow us to not only help entities like the
Tennessee legislative steroid subcommittee investigate the issue, but also
to better focus our education efforts as we work with BlueCross to address
the problem.”
In fall 2005, BlueCross distributed information packets to coaches and
administrators with information about talking to players and parents about
PEDs, as well as brochures about the dangers of PEDs, the signs of PED
use and tips for healthy training. Coaches can also access resources they
need to educate athletes about PEDs at www.HealthyCompetitionTN.org,
the newest addition to BlueCross’ Healthy Competition program.
In addition to coaches, BlueCross is surveying teens and parents about
PED use at its Web site, www.HealthyCompetitionTN.org. The 11-question
survey is completely anonymous, and the results will help the Healthy
Competition program better understand the scope of PED use among
Tennessee’s young people. Visitors to the Web site can also view detailed
initial results from the coaches’ survey and find valuable information on
healthy training, the side effects and warning signs of PED use, and how
adults can help a teen who might be using PEDs.The Healthy Competition
program was developed by BlueCross in 2000 to address the increasing
problem of PED use among teens and encourage drug-free, healthy
competition by educating young athletes, coaches and parents about the
consequences of PED use.
For more information on BlueCross’ Healthy Competition program or to
request program materials, contact Gina Bever with BlueCross at (423)
535-6937 or visit www.HealthyCompetitionTN.org.
TSSAA-BlueCross Survey Reveals Insights
into Performance-Enhancing Drug Use by Young Athletes
Performance-enhancing drug use is growing among our nation’s teens;
the National Institute of Drug Abuse estimates more than a million young
people have used performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). In Tennessee, a
recent survey of TSSAA coaches found that nearly 90 percent of them see
PED use among high school athletes as a problem. More than 450 high
school coaches of fall sports across the state took part in the survey
conducted by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and the TSSAA as part
of BlueCross’ Healthy Competition program. Coaches of winter and spring
sports will have an opportunity to participate in the ongoing survey at
upcoming TSSAA rules meetings.
“Recent news coverage has made us all too aware of PED and steroid
use by professional athletes,” said Gina Bever, senior communications
writer for BlueCross. “It’s a real problem among teens, yet, until now, we
haven’t had a measure of the scope of the problem among Tennessee’s
teens. Surveying coaches, parents and athletes is a critical step in
combating teen PED use in the state.” Initial coaches’ survey results
indicate that 54 percent of coaches do not believe their students understand
the long-term consequences of using PEDs. While ninety-eight percent of
coaches feel that PED education is important, only 65 percent have warned
their athletes about the dangers of PEDs. Increased strength or speed was
cited by seventy-three percent of coaches as the primary reason they think

ADMINISTRATOR - Chuck West
Charles Vernon “Chuck” West, Jr. was born in Scott County, Oneida, Tennessee, on December 20, 1954. He is the husband of Katrina (Robinson) West. His sons are
Jonathan West, teacher and coach at Dresden High School, and Justin West, substitute teacher and volunteer coach at Dresden High School. Chuck’s sons’ greatest compliment
to their father is that they have chosen to follow in his footsteps.
Chuck attended school in Oneida where he played football and basketball in junior high school. When Chuck entered high school, he concentrated on his favorite sport,
basketball. Chuck graduated from OHS in 1973 and entered the University of Tennessee at Martin. He graduated from there with a degree in education and earned his masters
degree in education administration from there in 1982. He completed his forty-five hours above a masters at UTM in 1987.
Chuck’s career as an educator and coach began at Oneida Junior High School, then he moved to Sunbright High School; his tenure at Dresden High School began in 1979,
when he became a teacher, head boys’ basketball coach, girls’ assistant coach, and assistant football coach. In 1989 he was allowed the opportunity to become the principal at
DHS, so he resigned from coaching to become an administrator. He returned to coaching in 1994 as the head boys’ basketball coach while he continued to serve as principal. In
2003, he resigned from coaching for the second time, but he returned in 2004 to serve as the assistant girls’ basketball coach under his son Jonathan, the head girls’ basketball
coach. As a coach in 1984, and again in 1986, Chuck carried teams to the substate tournament. In 1987 and again in 1988, Chuck’s teams reached the state tournament, and the
1988 team reached the final four. Chuck also had the privilege of coaching his own two sons as well as Popeye Jones, an NBA player.
While Chuck was a coach, he was elected Coach of the Year several times by his peers in the district and region. He also received the A. F. Bridges Sportsmanship Award – Principal of the Year for 19992000. Currently he serves as TSSAA basketball chairman for District 14-A and TSSAA District Coordinator.
Chuck, Katrina, Jonathan and Justin reside in Dresden where he is an active member of the Dresden Church of Christ. He has been a member of the Dresden Rotary Club since 1989, and he has served as
Rotary Club president from 1996-1997. Chuck continues to enjoy his career as he is allowed to work with the youth and enable them to become the young men and women they are capable of being.
TSSAA is proud to recognize Chuck West for his contributions as a coach and administrator to high school athletics in Tennessee.

COACH - Steve Henry
TSSAA is proud to honor Soddy Daisy High School head wrestling coach Steve Henry as it distinguished service award honoree.
Steve graduated from Red Bank High School in Chattanooga. He went on to receive his bachelor’s degree from Middle Tennessee State University and his master’s from
Tennessee Tech University. Steve has coached and taught for 25 years and has been at Soddy Daisy High School since 1983. While at Soddy Daisy, 19 wrestlers have been
crowned as state champions in their respective weight classes. In 2003 and 2004 his teams finished runner-up at both the state dual meet and individual wrestling tournaments.
In 1989 and 2002 he helped lead Soddy Daisy to state championships at the state dual meet.
Coach Henry has been a leader in the sport of wrestling for many years and is serving as the President of the Tennessee Wrestling Coaches Association. He has provided
leadership at the state wrestling tournament by using parents and students of Soddy Daisy High School to holt the hospitality room, furnish timers and scorers, and produce and
sell the state wrestling tournament program.
Steve has been married to his wife Jeannie for 15 years. They have two eight year old daughters, Kaley and Kelsey.
TSSAA is truly proud to recognize Steve Henry for his dedication to education and high school athletics in the state of Tennessee.
CONTRIBUTOR - Chuck McAlpin
TSSAA is proud to recognize Chuck McAlpin as its Distinguished Service Award recipient as a contributor.
Chuck was born in Dayton, Ohio and graduated from Vandalia High School in 1979. He received his Associates of Arts Degree from Michigan Christian College. After
marrying Julie in 1981, he moved to Orlando, Florida, where he was accepted into a four-year electrical apprenticeship program. After graduating from that program, he started
his own electrical contracting business. Although he had a successful and growing electrical business, he felt called into the ministry and decided to go back to school to prepare
for that call.
At that time he and his family moved to Nashville where Chuck enrolled in David Lipscomb University. While at David Lipscomb, he got a position as assistant pastor at
Coopertown Church of Christ. It was during this time that he came to work at the TSSAA office in Hermitage. Chuck was willing to do anything that was asked of him at
TSSAA. He would come in after the staff had finished working for the day and clean the building, do any maintenance and repairs that needed to be done, and assemble packets
that need to be mailed to schools and officials. It was during this time that he began working at TSSAA state championship events. After graduating from David Lipscomb
University, Chuck took a job as a family minister in Chattanooga. Even after he took the church in Chattanooga, where he has served for 10 years, he continued to work at
TSSAA events. If you come to the TSSAA State Basketball Tournament, you will see Chuck working in the ticket office. Also, he has worked at the Spring Fling for several
years, where he assists Mr. Bernard Childress in the State Softball Tournament. Because of Chuck’s areas of expertise, he is an integral part of the TSSAA events in which he works.
Chuck and Julie will have been married 25 years in June of 2006 and have two children. Josh is 18 years old and a freshman at Chattanooga State, and Jordyn, age 16, attends Sale Creek High School. Chuck
has indicated that the TSSAA family is very special to him and he looks forward to working state championship events each year, not only to work with the staff and volunteers, but also to be a part of the events
that are so important to the student-athletes in Tennessee.
TSSAA is proud to recognize Chuck McAlpin for all he has done in his work with the staff at the TSSAA office, as well as the many state championships events in which he has worked.

2005
As part of the "JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT!" program, TSSAA recognizes member schools that have made the effort to remind their
athletic family that there is a particular code of conduct, a particular level of expected behavior, and a way to act that is proper if
one wishes to be a part of an athletic contest, regardless of how they participate.
"JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT!" focuses on the foundation of what we hope all participants will do. Just do what you are supposed to
do in representing yourself, your family, your school and community.
Those schools that received no reported unsportsmanlike conduct incidents during the 2004-05 season have received a
certificate highlighting the "JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT!" logo and this effort. We are specifically recognizing proper
sportsmanship at athletic contests, but we all understand that the athletic contests are a small part of our educational program.
DIVISIONAL AWARDS
Local officials associations have been asked to nominate schools that they service that have displayed this overall positive effort
to teach, expect, and demand a positive atmosphere of sportsmanship at their particular contests. Member schools have also
been asked to nominate individuals or schools for special recognition for going the extra mile to do what's right. Nominations
have also come from representatives of the Tennessee Obervers Program for Sports. The TOPS observers have shared the
positive efforts that have been recognized at athletic contests across our state.
From these nominees and the schools that have received no reported unsportsmanlike conduct during the previous school year,
27 schools have been selected to receive the A.F. Bridges Award at the divisional level. Three Class A, three Class AA, and three
Class AAA schools in each grand division have been recognized for a total of nine schools in each division and 27 schools overall.
These schools were presented "JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT!" recognition banners at the regional meetings in each grand division of
our state during November, 2004.
STATE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
Of these 27 divisional recipients, one school in each class received Tennessee's top award for overall outstanding effort in its
division. These schools were presented the A.F. BRIDGES STATE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE. This is the highest award that can be
bestowed upon a school to honor its overall efforts to promote citizenship and sportsmanship at school, and at athletic contests.
ATHLETIC DISTRICT AWARDS
The A.F. Bridges Awards program has been expanded to include awards for School System Administrator of the Year, Principal of
the Year, Athletic Director of the Year, Female Coach of the Year, Male Coach of the Year, Official of the Year, and Contributor of
the Year. Recognition was be made in the above mentioned categories in each of the nine athletic districts in our state.
Nominations have been made by a Citizenship/Sportsmanship Committee in each athletic district and final selection were made
by a State Selection Committee.
The awards are named the A.F. BRIDGES AWARD in honor of the TSSAA's first executive secretary.
A.F. BRIDGES
A.F. Bridges was born in Athens, Louisiana on March 17, 1905. He attended school in Lincoln County, Tennessee and graduated
from Central High School in Fayetteville in 1922. He earned his B.A. and M.A. from Peabody College in Nashville. He began his
work as a teacher and coach at Peabody High School in Trenton, and after a number of years with the Milan, Henderson, and
Covington schools, he returned in 1936 as Superintendent of the Trenton schools. Soon after, he
became the Superintendent of the Covington City Schools. After three years in Covington, Mr.
Bridges was named as the first full-time Executive Secretary of the Tennessee Secondary School
Athletic Association and established the first TSSAA state office in Trenton in 1946. Under the
leadership of A. Foster Bridges, athletics in the state of Tennessee reached a level of excellence and
competence that earned the respect of all people. Mr. Bridges brought national recognition to
Tennessee in high school athletics, and particularly in the field of girls' athletics and in the
establishing of one of the most respected training programs for officials in the nation.Mr. Bridges
was a person of high principles who displayed firmness and fairness, as well as the high ideals of
ethics and integrity, as he and many other school people established the foundation of TSSAA
across our state. It is our sincere wish that through honoring Mr. Bridges by naming this awards
program after him, we will have the opportunity to remind young people of the positive
characteristics, not only of this gentleman, but of athletics in general and participants specifically.

You Remember the Way You Were Coached
O
because we really hope they might not remember some of the
ways we coached and the things we did. What we easily see,
though, is that the things we teach and coach ring strong and
loud.
The other distinctive part is what McCoy Kilpatrick
remembered – “He never berated anyone in front of others.” I
would assume he was talking about never berating a player in
front of other players, an official in front of players or fans, etc.
What a model! What a picture! What a goal!
In this day of talk radio shows, chat rooms, etc., where we can
take a shot at anyone before the whole world and think nothing
about it, Willie Hudson would say, “Don’t berate anyone in front
of others.” Some would say it is out of step with today’s times,
not realistic, everyone does it, and it’s what sells… I think
Coach Hudson would say, “Don’t berate anyone in front of
others.”
I think it is still the way all of us would want to be treated if
we are the one getting berated. I know it’s how you want your
children treated and don’t even think about how grandparents
feel.
Thank you Gene Pearce for telling the story and thank you
McCoy Kilpatrick for helping all of us see a great legend in
Tennessee sports history a little clearer. Most of all, thank you
Coach Hudson.
Never berate anyone in front of others – not bad for all of us
to live by.
ne of the great books I have
read recently is Boys in Black
by Gene Pearce. It is the story
of the ’55, ’56, and ’57 Boys’ State
Basketball Championships in
Tennessee and a special team named
Linden. Most people who have been around Tennessee sports
have heard the story. Gene Pearce has captured it and, even
more, he has captured a special place called Perry County and
put it in writing.
As I was reading the story of Coach Willie Hudson and his
boys, I was particularly struck by a statement made by one of his
players, McCoy Kilpatrick. He stated: “You remember the way
you were coached. He said very little while on the bench. He
never put on a show and he never berated anyone in front of
others. He was sitting on the bench and he saw me just look
hard at one of the officials. He pointed his finger at me and said,
‘Don’t do that. If you do as good a job playing as he does
officiating, we’ll be all right.’”
I did not have the privilege of knowing the late Willie
Hudson. I have heard a lot of stories and read a lot, but it’s hard
to imagine a greater picture of anyone than McCoy Kilpatrick
has given us.
It reminds us of how powerful coaches can be and the fact
that players remember very clearly how they were coached. For
many of us who have coached or are coaching, it’s a little scary

BlueCross BlueShield- This year marked the first year of an additional threeyear contract for BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee to be the title sponsor the
Division I and Division II State Football Championships. The Healthy Competition
program educates athletes about the potential dangers of using performanceenhancing drugs (PEDs) such as steroids and nutritional supplements. “Through
our continued partnership with TSSAA, BlueCross has been able to promote
physical fitness and show student athletes that goals are accomplished through
hard work and healthy competition, not by using drugs,” said Joan Harp, senior
vice president and chief marketing officer for BlueCross. BlueCross BlueShield
honored the accomplishments of the winners by providing championship hats.
This token reinforced the importance of hard work and healthy competition.
Krystal- This marks the first year of an additional 3-year contract that Krystal
will join the TSSAA corporate partners as the presenting sponsor of the Division I
Girls and Boys State Basketball Championships. During the BlueCross Bowl,
Krystal provided an exciting event for coaches participating in the Division I
BlueCross Bowl. Krystal challenged the coaches to eat four Krystal hamburgers
as fast as possible. Coach Matt Eldridge from Livingston Academy was victorious
with an impressive time of 35.7 seconds. Livingston Academy received a cash
contribution to the athletic program from Krystal. Look for Krystal to award the
“Krystal Fan of the Game” during the state basketball championships and checkout the live television broadcast of the championships each Saturday on FOX
UPN.
US Marines Corps- United States Marines Corps joined the TSSAA as a
supporter of the State Championships and the TSSAA in October. This year, the

Boys in Black – Linden Homecoming 2005
For the good part of a year, the people of Perry County
heard rumors that some guy from Jackson was writing a
book about Linden’s basketball championships in 1955,
1956, and 1957. Also, rumors were floating around Perry
County and even in Lawrenceburg and Columbia about a
motion picture based on the book. It takes a little longer to
research, write, edit, and publish a book than the average
person fathoms. Frankly, I’m sure many of the former
players of Coach Willie Hudson were doubtful the project
would get off the ground. In my case, I thought a thousand
times that this was a futile endeavor on my part. I had written
three books in the past four years for organizations that
wanted their histories told. I was encouraged by many,
including Ronnie Carter, to tell the Linden story—an
accomplishment that should be preserved and revered. I
agreed, but suddenly found out I was out on a limb by
myself. Despite being told that “everybody in Perry County
will buy a book,” I had my doubts. To say that I was
prep are d to lose my sh irt fina ncia lly is a gross
of Coach Hudson’s former players were there to sign books.
Albert Ellison buried his older brother that afternoon, but
came to the library directly from the cemetery. Gene
Paschall, the only player before classification to be a starter
on four state tournament teams, came from Guthrie,
Oklahoma, with his daughter, son-in-law and grandson.
Another book signing is scheduled for Tuesday, January
17, when Ellison’s Frank Hughes team plays at Perry
County. Several of Albert’s teammates have agreed to
attend. I have received orders, letters, e-mails, and
telephone calls from Perry County followers in Arizona,
Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Indiana, Virginia, South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and probably some states
that have slipped my memory. These letters and the thanks I
have received from many, many people in Perry County
have made the work well worth the effort.
Billy Ward played on Linden’s 1952 state tournament
team. He was one of the last players I interviewed. “When
you get the books, don’t forget about me,” he said. “I want

four copies.” True to his word, he gave me a note at the
signing, stating how each was to be signed. The books were
signed in the following manner: “To Elaine (Billy’s daughter),
“Keep this book in remembrance of your father who has bled
black and gold since the season of 1946-47.”
Perry Cou nty bas ketb all is kno wn fa r and wide.
Depending on the generation, it’s primarily because of Willie
Hudson, Albert Ellison, Mike Rhodes, or Kirk Haston. Perry
County Coach David Lee and his wife, Jana, spent their
honeymoon in Jamaica. Because of his Perry County shirt,
people made it a point to stop him and ask about Perry
County basketball. These were not necessarily Tennessee
people, but fans from Kentucky or Georgia or Indiana. I had
nothing to do with starting the rumor about an upcoming
movie, but it sounds good. Hoosiers was a great movie, but
Linden should be three times better. Fred Thompson is my
pick to play Willie Hudson. The tough part will be finding
actors to play Eugene Grinder and Albert Ellison.

understatement. Boy, did I get a surprise. I cannot thank
Randy Mackin of The Buffalo River Review enough for his
setting the stage for our two December book signings. My
initial order of five hundred books was gone in eight days.
Had I been a believer and could have anticipated the
response, we probably would have sold more than a
thousand before Christmas. When you sell five, ten, and
sometimes twenty at a time they go rather fast.
When seven- and eight-year-old boys come up with $20
bills, saying, “Sign mine To Blake (or Brian or Stephen),” it’s
rather humbling. Over three hundred books were sold at the
first signing. All the books were gone before the start of the
boys’ game between Perry County and Summertown. We
managed to get another two hundred books for the official
book signing at the Perry County Public Library the following
Friday. It was scheduled to begin at 2:30 and end at 4:30
and then we were to go set up for the doubleheader with
Hampshire. We started signing at 1:50 and all the books
were gone by 4:10. Thankfully, some cut their orders back
so everyone attending could get a least one copy. Thirteen

Five Years of Bowling... Hard to Believe
T
those who did not have much or any knowledge but have
grown to know and appreciate the sport. There are many
non-faculty coaches who are invo l ved with high school
bowling teams. In fact, the percentage of non-faculty head
coaches in bowling may be one of the highest of all sports
in our state. They range from instructors and staff at
bowling centers to parents who are involved in the sport.
Not only has the sport of bowling opened the door for
these students to participate in high school athletics, but it
has provided great excitement and pride for those who
participate, the coaches, parents, and all invo l ved in
supporting the teams and schools across the state. If you
h ave n ’t had the chance to attend a high school bow l i n g
match, it is very exciting. There is just as much enthusiasm
surrounding these matches as there is in any other sport.
The state tournament, which is held the last weekend of
January at the Smyrna Bowling Center, is one of the most
exciting state tournaments each year. Not only has the
sport continued to grow, but the Smyrna Bowling Center
has as well. This year they recently added twelve lanes,
making the 52-lane center the largest in the state.
Hundreds of high school bowlers, and even more patrons,
attend the event each year. Some of the best bowlers in our
state are at the high school level. We have seen four
perfect 300 games bowled at the state tournament. The
high series for an individual, three games, at the state
tournament is 766.
It’s been an exciting five years, but it seems just like
yesterday when we held our first state tournament. It will
be interesting to see how much the sport grows in the next
five years. The potential is unlimited.
he sport of bowling just completed its fifth year as a
sanctioned sport at the high school level in our state.
M a ny people, including myself, wondered how
m a ny schools would participate in the sport. During the
first year of competition in 2001, there were well over 100
schools, almost one-third of the membership, which
participated in bowling. That number has grown each year.
With the exception of a few, bowling centers across the
state continue to provide practice and competition time free
to high schools. Without their support, high school
bowling would not be possible.
One of the many positive aspects that high school
bowling has provided over the past few years is that it has
opened the door to thousands of high school students to
become student-athletes. Before it was added as a sport,
we needed to get a feel for how many schools wo u l d
participate and what kind of impact the sport might have.
One interesting find was that most schools indicated that
more than 75 percent of students that participated in
bowling did not participate in any other sport. Now these
students have joined the ranks that many of their other
classmates already had... being student-athletes! Studies
h ave shown that students who participate in athletics and
other extracurricular activities have a much lower drop-out
rate compared to those who are not involved in sports and
other activities.
With the addition of the sport at the high school level, it
not only opened the door for more student-athletes, bu t
coaches as well. Bowling has provided a wide variety of
coaches across our state. Teachers have stepped up to
coach teams, some with knowledge of the sport, as well as

Update
Hope things are great with you.
Sending out the faxes to the schools
really worked out. We were booked
for the whole year before Christmas.
Thanks it looks like Courtney will be doing it that way
for the next couple of years. If you missed it, Courtney
sent out faxes to all the schools giving the dates we had
open and allowed the school to choose from that list
when they would like to have the Right Team.
Things have been really changing around TSSAA
especially Mr. Carter’s golf game. I have been noticing
that his scores in golf are now lower than his bowling
scores and I had to do some inve s t i gation into the
situation. I found out that Mr. Carter has been secretly
taken golf lessons from a well know golf pro near the
office after work.
I too have now sign up for the golf lessons here are
the lessons I have taken so far.
Lesson 1: How to properly line up you fourth putt.
Lesson 2: How to Hit a Nike from the rough when you
hit a Titleist from the tee (I have already learned a lot
about this from Bernard Childress.)

Tennessee Middle School Athletic Association
B y l aws as it pertains to membership and when schools
must submit dues each year. The old rule read that
membership dues shall be paid in advance and shall be
for the calendar year. Membership expires at midnight
on December 31st of each year. The new rule, effective
with the 2006-07 school year states the following:
T
he Tennessee Middle School Athletic Association
Committee held its first meeting of the school
year on November 16, 2005 at the TSSAA Office
in Hermitage. Members present were Mike Morrison,
Chic Nute, Mike Fulkerson, Vic King, Katie O’Brien,
Robert Cole and Michael Carter.
Committee members welcomed Katie O’Brien, Robert
Cole, and Michael Carter to the TMSAA Committee.
Robert is currently the Assistant Athletic Director of
Memphis City Schools and has been very instrumental
in the organization of middle school athletic programs in
the city of Memphis. Robert has helped organize and
direct many of the West Tennessee TMSAA
championships. Katie serves as Assistant Principal and
Athletic Director at East Ridge Middle School. She is a
former coach and has been very involved with athletics
at the middle school level in the Hamilton County
School System. Norma Beshears and Bob Yancey, both
Middle Tennessee representatives, retired from their
p r o s p e c t ive schools at the end of the school year.
Michael Carter, Athletic Director at Cheatham Middle
School, has agreed to replace Norma Beshears in upper
Middle Tennessee. We will add a committee member in
lower Middle Tennessee very soon.
The committee continued their discussion on
classification and all the ramifications. TMSAA already
a l l ows each area of the state (Middle, East, West) to
meet and classify schools that participate in their
tournament series. Middle and East Tennessee div i d e
their schools into small and large divisions during
tournaments. West Tennessee schools play in one class
and those schools have expressed interest in div i d i n g
into small and large. A sub-committee met on June 15th
at Brighton High School to discuss this possibility. At a
later date, all schools in West Tennessee will be notified
concerning the changes which will be made in their Area
and Sectional Alignment.
The committee recommended to change Rule #8 of the
TMSAA Bylaws to make it consistent with the TSSAA
Rule #8 - Membership in the Tennessee Middle School
Athletic Association shall be open to any school that
terminates with the 7th or 8th grade. Membership dues
are $300.00 annually, which includes catastrophic
insurance coverage. Membership contracts shall be
submitted by May 15th for the next year. Membership
dues shall be paid no later than September 1st and shall
be for the school year (July 1st to June 30th). There
shall be a five dollar ($5.00) per day late fee charged to
any school that fails to remit its membership dues by
September 1st.
Rule #9 (Semester Rule) was revised to read as
follows:
A student shall have 6 semesters to complete 4 possible
semesters of participation after entering the 7th grade.
Attendance of 40 school days of any semester shall be
r egarded as a “semester” under this rule. If a student
participates in athletics during a period of attendance
of any number of days less than 40, he/she shall be
charged with a semester of attendance. No student shall
participate in any sport more than three seasons. Any
student who repeats the 6th, 7th, or 8th grade after
having passed that grade shall not be eligible until they
have reached the next higher grade.
Committee members revisited the “Independent-Game
Participation” rule and decided to leave it as written.
The TMSAA Sports Calendar was also a topic of
discussion. The committee will look at the entire
calendar in February in order to see if any adjustments
need to be made.
