As a result of recent changes in TSSAA guidelines regarding unsportsmanlike conduct by fans, South Gibson County High School will be implementing the following policy in the event of the ejection of a fan from a varsity athletic event.
Upon ejection by a TSSAA official, a fan will be assessed $250 to cover the $250 fine issued by TSSAA to the school. The fan must attend a meeting at the school with school administration. In addition, the fan will be suspended from attending the next varsity event(s). For football, it will be one (1) varsity game and for all other sports two (2) games. The fan may not attend any school athletic event without first meeting with school officials and paying the $250 fine. If either of these criteria are not met, the fan will not be allowed to attend any SGCHS sponsored athletic event. SGCHS reserves the right to require additional measures depending on the severity and nature of the offense.
If a fan is ejected from a JV or Freshman level contest by a TSSAA official and the school is assessed a fine, the same action will apply.
Additionally, a fan cannot attend a JV or Freshman level contest in the varsity sport from which they were ejected until completing the requirements in place for the varsity contest.
South Gibson County High School and Gibson County Special School District are dedicated to ensuring the best environment and encourages a high level of sportsmanship at all school athletic events.
