  1. Well Tyreke Key did his part against Marion Co. He threw in 46 for his State Bound Dawgs!
  2. Govman, you're probably right. Could be that in football the PA guys think since it is out doors then they have to scream and yell to be heard. When in fact usually the visitors can't make out a word they are saying...just a bunch of yelling and screaming. It always blew me away when the visiting fans would stop by the table and compliment me on the job i did on the mic (even if their team lost). I don't like mono-tone guys and i don't like screamers or "mic-eaters" if you know what i mean. There truly is a THIN line between good and obnoxious. Oh yeah I use to do football too!
  3. I announced for 20+ years before having to give it up due to job relocation. I was always tactful while i was on the mic whether i was at home, announcing a tournament,or even announcing for a district foe at their place for sub-state. In my early years I made the mistake of not being tactful and hurt several people with my comment after a tournament game. I learned my lesson and from then on considered announcing as my "profession" and was nothing but professional no matter who i was announcing for. Don't misunderstand, while i was at our place I WAS the home announcer and wanted to keep my crowd fired up. But still never used it as a radio broadcast play by play guy would. I knew there was a line to not cross. Its a shame everyone didn't see it that way. Games will be more boring for the fans IMO.
  4. Can anyone tell me why the TSSAA has made it a rule this year that PA announcers can no longer say anything during live ball situation? Was informed by several refs last week this was a fact. An example of what can't happen since this rule went into effect: John Doe has break away layup and clock would still be running after shot. PA can no longer state that the basket was scored by John Doe, no matter if it was a layup, 3pt, or reverse slam. This has taken the "home announcer"out of the game. wish i knew what the "real" reason for this decision was? I would be interested in hearing from everyone on this especially announcers and coaches.
  5. Congrats to Coach Joe Sims and the 2012 Clay County Lady Bulldogs! No one can deny and you left no doubt....YOU ARE THE #1 CLASS A TEAM IN TENNESSEE THIS YEAR! Everyone is so proud of you and that "never die" spirit you have had throughout this great ride to GOLD! On this night the starting five Lady Dawgs were a well-oiled machine that couldn't be stopped! Way to go SYD, ALLIE, COOP, MATTIE and MACKENZIE !!!! WHAT A WAY FOR YOU 4 SENIORS TO END YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREERS! 2012 Tennessee Class A State Champions Clay County Lady Bulldogs
  6. Sure has been awhile since I've been on here! The new job kept me off the mike for my DAWGS. Congrats Lady Dawgs on a spectacular season! BUT there is more work to do! The prophecy is complete! Back when D.R. starting working these girls tails off many people said this group (minus a couple that aren't players anymore) would be playing for a state championship when they were Seniors. Oh by the way they were about 10 yr old at that time! BUT IT WAS TRUE! History Lesson: The scene is Murphy Center in Murfreesboro on a Saturday evening. Two teams had battled all so-called unstoppable teams to fight their way to the Championship game! Plus they had 4 previous battles amongst themselves in the regular season and District and Region Finals. The same team never faltered each of the 4 previous times these two met each other. The teams the towns the players and the two successful state tourney experienced coaches were ready as well. The 5th time (and as the winning coach said "most important) however had a new winner and STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! No the teams are not Clay County and Jackson County.......THEY WERE RICKMAN and CLARKRANGE...I believe Lamar Rogers' 1st GOLD Ball! Here's hoping history repeats itself!......GO LADY DAWGS!!!!!!!
  7. Brackets are backwards! Traveling district (8A this year) always plays early game. Gordonsville vs Friendship will be Game #1 at 6:00 Clay County vs Red Boiling Springs will be Game #2 immediately following!
  8. Clay County vs Friendship Christian on radio live WKYR 107.9 FM
  9. Congrats Clarkrange Lady Buffs! You Are The PRIDE Of District 7A! NOW....EVERYONE BELIEVES ITS TRUE!!!! As the dust settles from one of the worst STAMPEDES the state has seen....... LAMAR and his LADY BUFFALOES carry their 8th Gold Ball back to the friendly confines of the plateau!!!
  10. Congrats Lady Cats! You are doing the Upper Cumberland proud! Could be another 7A- 7AA Gold Ball year!
  11. devils08 quote "Clarkrange by 20!!!! GO GET EM LADY BUFFS" AT LEAST! If MAM only has one player as a threat, and no reason for Lamar to let up, this one could get REAL ugly... PLUS THIS ONE IS ON TV!
  12. TSSAA has audio feed. Why can't you listen on computer?
