Mother’s Facebook Post Causes High School Football Team to Vacate Three Wins
Mom rails on Facebook about her two sons not cleaning their rooms.
Mom also includes this salient detail: Her two sons, football players for Perry County high school (a football “power,” according to the Tennessean), were only living in Perry County during the week, but spent the weekends in Henry County.
It sounds as if her sons were maintaining a residence in Perry County just to play for the better team – wouldn’t you? – which high school associations try to prevent.
“(Perry County) inadvertently played ineligible athletes in the first three ballgames,” TSSAA Executive Director Bernard Childress said. “It was two brothers that transferred. They got a residence in Perry County, but they had not vacated their residence completely in Henry County.”
Yes, someone saw the Facebook message, ratted her out, and now Perry County had to vacate three victories because her sons played in those games. Here’s what she posted on Facebook:
“But the mother actually works in Henry County, and she posted on her Facebook page that she sent the kids back to Perry County for the week and that she would not see them again until Friday night,” Childress said. “Then, later on her Facebook page, she posted, ‘How can two boys mess up their room as badly as they do when they’re only here on Saturday and Sunday?’ ”
The message here isn’t that kids shouldn’t skirt the rules, but rather: Mom, be careful what you post on Facebook. [Tennessean]

I think the mom’s mistake was putting “Make-a-Wish will donate 7 cents to our clean-room fund every time you re-post this status. 88% of you are too chicken, but 12% of you are brave enough to care”

Last I checked, there were 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days. So, I’d say they were Perry County residents as they lived there the majority of the time.

The kids skirted the rules because their mama allowed them to. Fuck ‘em.

Type of thing happens all the time with football here in Bolingbrook (IL). Kids from Chicago come to the school for the first 2-3 months of the year and stay with a friend and enroll in the school without official residence. Once football season ends, they rarely ever show up again. We qualify for state with a handful of players I’ve never heard of before at a school I work at.

AL Bundy didn’t need no fraudy players at Polk High to help him score four TDs in the 1966 city championship game, dammit!
