Another Controversy for Grundy County Football
The Grundy County football team is back in news, but this time the news involves another team.
A Facebook video posted by GCTV, a local cable channel on the mountain, shows the coin toss before a game.
According to WTVC-TV in Chattanooga, during the coin toss, players for Sequatchie County’s football team can be seen holding up two jerseys.
According to the Grundy County Athletic Director Leon Woodlee, the numbers on the jerseys are of former Grundy County football players charged in last year’s attempted aggravated rape case. The football players allegedly tried to assault a freshman in the team’s fieldhouse.
Woodlee says that the boys charged now attend Sequatchie County, and cannot be on Grundy County school property.
The case against the five students accused in the case was sealed by Judge Tim Brock of Coffee County. He put a non-disclosure order on the case on November 15, 2017 after the boys appeared in court.
Woodlee says the players are not allowed to play against Grundy County in any sport, even when Grundy County travels to Sequatchie.
According to the Athletic Director, neither coach knew the students planned the action. He says Sequatchie High’s principal called to apologize for his player’s actions.

Gov. Bill Haslam Announces Changes to TNReady
Gov. Bill Haslam
Haslam announced Wednesday that TNReady will now produce faster test results, provide teachers with more resources to prepare their students for the test and offer schools more affordable technology devices.
The changes come at a time when Haslam is preparing to leave office and hand off the troubled test administration to a new governor – where both Democrat Karl Dean and Republican Bill Lee vying for the office have advocated for a total reset of the system.
Haslam says the TNReady tests will be administered in the spring of 2019 regardless of who wins in November. However, the state hopes to contract with a new vendor by the spring.
Report Says it’s Difficult to Vote in Tennessee
A report out this week ranks Tennessee as the third-most difficult state to cast a vote.
According to The Washington Post, people in the Volunteer State face more inconveniences on the way to the ballot box than most other states.
Despite the poll, Coffee Countians have been voting heavy during early voting for the Nov. 6, 2018 election. Over 5,000 voters have cast ballots. Early voting goes through Nov. 1.
The study looked at election laws and scrutinized the time and effort it takes to vote in each state.
It also studied registration deadlines, what you need to bring to the poll to vote, which states automatically register adults and early voting windows.
The study shows it really varies from state to state and Tennessee makes it difficult.
It also pointed out that Tennessee had the largest drop in the rankings. It was 10th during the 1996 election and dipped to 48th after 2016.
The study found that improving the easiness of getting to the polls could grow voter turnout nationally in a presidential election year by about 10 percent.
