Under different circumstances I would feel bad for Beren, but you're right, they knew the rules and agreed to play by them.

Remember what Super Chicken said;
"You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred."

Well that certainly explains the situation. Thanks.

I did sum it up rather well,
didn't I.

Judge says they get to play.
Man that stinks! Guess the Beren A.D. had his fingers crossed when he said all they wanted was a district to play in. Or that's A.D. speak which really means if we happen to win that district we'll cross that bridge when we come to it and you can expect us to come out with guns blazing.
What happened to truth and integrity.

From the news reports I've heard in the last couple hours (since about 1 pm Thursday), it sounds like TAPPS is going to make some accomodation so that Beren can play in the semis before sundown on Friday and if they win, after sundown on Saturday.

Not sure if any legal action was involved, but it sounds like it'll be Beren and not Kerrville OLH in the semis tomorrow.

Guess you missed this.

Go Covenant!!!

So if, by chance, ACHS and Beren play in the finals my family and I will likely miss worship at our home church Sunday morning. Rather than driving home Saturday evening, we'll probably stay ANOTHER night in a hotel rather than driving home after midnight. But as long as we don't inconvenience Beren, it's all good, right?

OK....
What would Jesus do?

From the TAPPS By-laws...

I hope it doesn't get too ugly before it's all settled. It'll probably be called the Beren Association of Private and Parochial Schools by this time next year though. LOL

I guess the sun will still rise in the East tomorrow ...

Problem is that whoever filed the suit brought the Mansfield ISD into the mix. Smart (or smart-aleck) lawyers can tell you the reasoning behind it, has something to do with the limitation of religious liberty.

It could make it very difficult for TAPPS or any private/religious organization to find opportunities to lease school property for their events.

Shane, I called HB and told them my son playes on one of the teams that could be playing them in the final. I then asked them if they were going to reimburse my added expenses (extra meals and another night in a hotel) I was promptly transferd to another line which no one answered.
So much for teaching your kids about principles.

I guess it's now that TAPPS rules and previous agreements are only applicable until you need them to be flexible for your purposes.

Our ol' buddy, Coach Bronk, has decided that perhaps he'll need to start recruitin' them home schoolers, over 19s and others for religious reason.

And I think I'm gonna get a religious exemption next time a game date is inconvenient by tellin' Edd and Bryan that my faith requires me to attend Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show that day.

As soon as a (non-Christian) someone uses the religion card, it's all over. I figured the lawsuit was coming. You should have seen the lengths we went to to not offend people of other religions up where I went to high school. We played a game up in Philadelphia (3 hr drive) at 2 pm on a school day (Friday), the week of Yom Kippur, so we could get the 1 Jewish kid on our team home before sundown. We didn't even go to school that day, we just showed up and got on the bus.

Yet, the Catholic league plays all their basketball games on Sundays, and we had a football games postponed to Sundays as well.
