If I am not mistaken that the (#) besides the team means first place votes, how the heck does Oak Ridge get 4 votes. I understand homers exist but geez all 15 of those votes should've belonged to East. 

 

Tony you are probably correct but  I see things a tad differently. Oak Ridge has performed very well even with injuries and absences. Several players are much improved from last season and the team is tight with one another. Of course, East is the beast but even they could experience injuries, cold shooting, lack of intensity on a certain night.

 

It won't be long and the tournaments will start and all the guessing will be done away with. Best of luck to East and I hope they don't suffer any injuries. A team wide mild cause of running noses will be just fine  however.   ^_^

A few injuries and a cold shooting night is the only way OR beats East.

Crazier things have happened. Anything is possible in HS sports, especially basketball. With EJ Bush out for the rest of the year our chances at even getting lucky went way down, but I would give us 1 in a million shot of upsetting a team like East. But, as Jim Carey said in Dumb and Dumber....1 in a million? "So, you're saying there's a chance??!!"

I'm a Humboldt alum, but not sure how W.E.B. Dubois is not ranked!  The number of points they're putting up in 32 minutes is crazy!  Hadn't seen them play, but apparently they can score!

 

For some reason the "drop down menu" for voting in Class A did not include DuBois until after I voted and notified AP. Likely others were unable to vote them as well. I'm sure they'll break the Top 10 next week.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
