TSSAA logoMcMinn County High School football coach Bo Cagle thought he was ahead of the game.
He filled his 2013-14 schedules in record time. Or so he thought.
The Cherokees had tentative agreements to play Knoxville Bearden and Farragut but wound up losing both games.
“The director of schools in Knox County thought it was a good idea to get into the scheduling business for Fulton High School,” Cagle wrote in a letter to his athletic director, Jimmy Haynie, and the TSSAA.
The end result was that McMinn lost the games with Bearden and Farragut so each could play Fulton, which won the 2012 Class 4A state championship.
