Just because there is not a tent doesn’t mean people not down there. I think you meant you are stupid. I think you should be an English teacher. They will not be tailgating in anymore.

Chunky6617 Posted Thursday at 06:45 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:45 PM (edited) Kemper county has now cancelled their scheduled game against Heidelberg for next week. So they will not have a senior night this year, and they have 17 seniors on the team. Their last game of the season is on the road at Clarkdale Edited Thursday at 06:46 PM by Chunky6617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, 1 or 2 parents per student, plus count the Pre K thru 8th grade plus the Senior class. Plus all the graduates thru the years. Stadium should be full.

It's already been discussed by many and stated by many that they hold no power outside of the field. Everything else falls on the school district. The school district is ultimately responsible for anything happening on their grounds. Enforce the rules and policies already in place and tailgating shouldn't be an issue. Now if they are tailgating off school property then the only option you basically have is to enforce not letting them on campus or in the gate if you believe they aren't suitable to be there. If they attempted to enforce something off campus, it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back on the fight against the private organization running high school athletics.

MHSAA can only enforce rules regarding sports and band, chorus, etc on campus. I know for a fact that checked everything last year at South State. The gunman had to be let in after the game started or finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding every incident was outside of the stadium whether at the gate or away from it after the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think too many problems can come from that. But what we do at our school is allow a handful of boosters to buy selected seating in front of the fieldhouse before the season as a fundraiser. Those boosters set up a table and they have food while they watch the game. They bring all the food from home. They don’t cook at the stadium, they don’t listen to music, they don’t have alcohol, they aren’t in the parking lot. It’s just 5 families that pay $400 before the season to watch the game from their tents with food in front of the fieldhouse where police officers are already standing. But that’s considered “tailgating”, so now we aren’t allowed to do that. And it’s all because of Heidelberg’s ignorance. Don’t blame it all on Heidelberg, Leland, and south delta played a part in it too. Be mad at smith county school district for not allowing it.

pancho Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago hope somebody get to the root of the issue fast or school choice gone be more popular. we know what that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago The root of the problem is the lack of home raising, teaching the dangers of a gun, etc. Teaching that its ok to behave as a gangster, etc, etc. Failure of the school to stop the suspect at the gate like they did us last year at South State. Your not going to stop a person from bringing their gun, alcohol, weed, etc to the game. Somethings are better left at home or in the truck in the parking lot. The bottom line is what triggered this. We're the victims targeted, etc, etc. MHSAA will not touch it until it affects a player, etc. You have been warned. My guess is according to the rules those arrested and convicted can be banned from school campuses that is once they have served their sentence. If the district passes a new rule and then its adopted in Clinton chances are your not going to tailgate going forward. You can bring in counseling if needed.

If the MHSAA doesn’t take some action in some way & this continues anywhere in the state, then everyone will be pointing at the MHSAA and asking why they ignored the problem. So this is them making a recommendation & it’s now in the laps of the school districts. If something goes wrong at this point, it’s all on the local district to respond because the MHSAA has already covered themselves. Thank our overly litigious society for creating this environment.

I totally agree. The next fan or neighbor school friend who does this someone will be punished. And remember once u qualify for the playoffs and forfeit your done until 2027. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
