Why former Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet was fired from high school position

On Oct. 21, former Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet was fired from his position as head coach of the Heritage High (TN) football team . The reason for that firing has now been released. Knox News reported Friday that Osovet was fired for not following concussion protocol during a road game against Carter (TN) on Sept. 25. An investigation into a report received by the Heritage administration found that Osovet "attempted to exert inappropriate influence upon assigned athletic trainers and upon a student-athlete to circumvent concussion protocol." A press release from Blount County Schools director Justin Ridge said the established concussion protocols are there for the health and wellbeing of the athletes. Because of that, following the protocols is not optional. Ridge also noted all decisions by athletic trainers and qualified medical personnel must be respected. "Established concussion protocols exist to protect the health and well-being of student-athletes, and adherence to these protocols is not optional," wrote Justin Ridge, Blount County Schools director, in a school release on Nov. 6. "The professional judgement of athletic trainers and qualified medical personnel must be respected, and no athletic competition or outcome should ever take precedence over a student's safety."

Greene Devils roll past Fulton in first round playoff matchup

The Greene Devils continued their dominant ways Friday night, battling through some adversity and advancing to the second round of the Class 4A postseason with a 56-28 win over Fulton. “Anytime you can get a big win in the playoffs (it’s good). (Fulton is) really athletic, have a lot of speed, hats off to them, they played really well. We’ve not seen that speed all year,” said Greeneville head coach Eddie Spradlen. “We probably didn’t play our best half in the first half, but the kids responded and played really hard for four quarters, really proud of our effort.” Mr. Football semifinalist Taren Claridy turned in another explosive performance for the Greene Devils offensively. Claridy hauled in six passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns. However, Claridy left Burley Stadium wanting more out of himself and his team as they progress throughout the postseason. “I feel like we need to up our energy a lot next week if we want to go into round three,” he said. Quarterback Kaine Ricker made a claim for a Mr. Football semifinalist nod as well this season, and proved Friday why he should’ve joined Claridy in that honor. Ricker completed 12 of 14 passes
