TSSAA, is starting another yearin the world of sports, education andsportsmanship. But sometimes it isthe athletes themselves that make itworth it. Here are some of myfavorite quotes from some greatformer high schools athletes.

New Orleans Saint RB GeorgeRogers when asked about the upcoming season. “I want torush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first.”

And, upon hearing Joe Jacoby of the ‘Skins say “I’d runover my own mother to win the Super Bowl, “Matt Milen ofthe Raiders said, “To win, I’d run over Joe’s mom too.”

Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann1996: “Nobody in football should be called a genius. Agenius is a guy like Norman Einstein.”

Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh:“I’m going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes..“Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: “You guysline up alphabetically by height” and “You guys pair up ingroups of three, and then line up in a circle.”

Shaquille O’Neal on whether he had visited theParthenon during his visit to Greece: “I can’t reallyremember the names of the clubs that we went to.”

Pat Williams, Orlando Magic general manager, on histeam’s 7-27 record: “We can’t win at home. We can’t win onthe road…. As general manager, I just can’t figure out whereelse to play.”

Bernard Childress, Belmont Univeristy, explaining whyhe appeared nervous during a game. “My sister is expectinga baby anytime, and I just don’t know if I’m going to be anuncle or an aunt.”

The new year has started up and we are busy doing 9thgraders and teachers in-services. If you would like to get ahead of the game contact Courtney Brunetz [email protected] for dates available. After theadministration meeting in September the dates start to fillup. Once again the Governor Highway Safety hassponsored our program so there is little to no cost for yourschool. We are willing at attend wellness classes also, whichmeans we will attend all classes you have that day. So, sendCourtney an email to schedule your school today!

2012-13 BlueCross Championship Series Kicks Off With the start of the 2012-13 school year, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee

and the TSSAA are kicking off the second year of the BlueCross Championship

Series℠. Launched last fall, the BlueCross Championship Series is designed to

recognize athletic excellence and sportsmanship in high schools across the state.

The winners from the 2011-12 school year will be announced in November

at the TSSAA regional administrators meetings. The BlueCross Championship

Series recognizes those Tennessee high schools with the highest performing

athletic programs each school year. Schools are awarded points based on

quarterfinal, semifinal, final round and championship appearances, with the

potential points earned increasing at each level of competition. The total points

earned will be divided by the number of sports offered at that school to create

an average point total.

At the end of the school year, those schools with the top average point totals

in their competitive division and class will be named the BlueCross

Champions℠ and each receive a $2,500 cash donation from BlueCross.

The BlueCross Championship Series groups

schools according to their competitive division and

class as assigned by the TSSAA, with a total of two Division II and three

Division I classes.

Sports with individual and team competitions will earn points based on team

composite scores, not individual performances. Sports without a tiered

quarterfinal, semifinal, final and championship round system will be awarded

points based on final standings at championship events.

As a way of recognizing sportsmanship among Tennessee high schools, only

schools that have no reported incidents of unsportsmanlike behavior during the

school year will be eligible to win the BlueCross Championship Series in its

competitive class.

A complete, detailed breakdown of the BlueCross Championship Series

criteria is available online at www.facebook.com/bcbstchampions.

BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is proud to partner with the TennesseeSecondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) as title sponsor for the BlueCrossBowl, Tennessee’s Division I and II high school football championships.

It’s Football, Soccer, Cross Country, Volleyball and Golf Time in Tennessee! TSSAA corporate sponsors play an integral part in the TSSAA State

Championships. TSSAA would like to thank BlueCross BlueShield, Governors Highway Safety Office, Tennessee Dairy Farmers, Baptist Sports

Medicine, Musco Sports Lighting, and Fair Play for their continued support of the TSSAA and high school athletics.

BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee- The 2012-2013 high school sports season marks BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee’s 13th year as a corporate

Southeast United Dairy Industry Association- The TSSAA is pleased to announce its partnership with the Southeast United Dairy Industry

The Real Value of Sports Lighting

Provided by Musco Lighting

One of the most important facility decisions a municipality or sports organizations will make is determining whether to add lighting.

Quality sports lighting can provide multiple benefits that will add value to a venue decades after the initial investment. Administrators

and volunteer-based organizations across the country have benefitted from strategic lighting initiatives that can make a significant

impact on a program's participation, revenues and scheduling availability.

Why not light? Sports lighting discussions regarding outdoor facilities limited to daytime usage typically start with a fundamental question, "Why should

we light our field?" The answer consists of reasons ranging from convenience to expansion to improved finances.

One of the most critical factors in the analysis of lighting a facility is the ability to increase practice times and competition, which can

directly impact a program's expansion goals. More practices and more games often equals more players. Plus, the popularity of youth

athletics and adult recreational sports, combined with adult work schedules, leave many communities struggling to supply enough

playing surfaces.

Lighting is the cost-effective solution that provides room for everyone. It lends scheduling flexibility to not only spur participation but

service growing demand. This trend is illustrated in southern states where daytime heat and expansion have led to the development of

all-night leagues and midnight practices– concepts gaining momentum.

Convenience generates revenue

From another convenience standpoint, lighted fields and evening games afford working parents– many who are coaches and

volunteers– more opportunities to attend games and be involved. It also helps organizations schedule games and events to

accommodate families with members playing at different levels and different sites.

Additionally, for athletes and the greater community, few experiences match the sense of pride and excitement that comes from

competing 'under the lights'.

Enhancing a field with quality sports lighting increases gate receipts, and also generates additional revenue from increased concession

stand sales, paid parking and additional tournaments.

New Musco lighting and monitoring systems have allowed the Novi Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department in Michigan to

expand play to more than 180 baseball and softball teams, rebuild community programming and continue winning bids to host national

ASA tournaments.

Efficient alternative to new construction

From a capital standpoint, illuminating an existing field can double its use for about half the cost of new considering the rising cost of

materials and land acquisition, plus the grading, drainage and sod necessary to properly prep a field site.

Upon completion of the playing surface and adjacent areas, facility amenities such as fencing, bleachers, bathrooms, dugouts, parking

lots, concession stands and press boxes must be built and maintained to accommodate participants and visitors.

Timing is another key factor. Lighting installations are faster than building new fields, and can create a playable field within six to eight

weeks compared to the lengthy timeframe involved in new field construction which may take several seasons to accomplish from

concept to completion.

With ever-tightening operational budgets and a growing emphasis on sports and fitness, the decision to add sports lighting makes good

financial sense and deepens community pride.
