  1. Jellico? Pickett County beat them 83-72 and 78-39. Pickett Co. was upset in the region final by Gordonsville who they had beaten 3 times and had to go to Chattanooga Prep in the substate. Jellico even lost to Clarkrange who won just 5 games all season. I was very surprised to see them make it.
  2. This is a message that I sent to TSSAA: I am concerned about schools having a huge home court advantage in basketball for region games. I understand your connection with East Robertson, but that should not be a factor in this. East Robertson hosts the region every other year. That doesn't help the E.R. girls' team, but it certainly gives the boys a huge advantage. With Greenbriar, Springfield and White House Heritage nearby, any of those schools should hold the region so that the region tournament gives no school a huge advantage. Or, there must be other schools available east of East Robertson which would cut down on District 7 schools' travel. Cross Plains is a 2 hour drive from Clarkrange for example. I hope that TSSAA will correct this huge unfair advantage that East Robertson and other schools have had. Monterey also hosted the region last year. I am sure there are other schools doing the same thing. 7A never allows a member school to host. Our teams have played at Jackson County, White County and Livingston.

  4. The boys' AP Poll is out. I don't know why the girls' poll isn't.
  5. Congratulations Riverside. East Robertson never ashould have been allowed to be in that game. Riverside should have won by forfeit. I went to their game against York and they were shoving York players after the whistle all night long, started fights, and were the worst team as far as sportsmanship I have ever seen. No team ever deserved to lose more than they did.
  6. The "odd" thing is nonsense. Some teams may get back to the 3rd round the next year, most most likely in most situations there will be a lot of different teams. For a 12-0 team which beat a highly ranked at the time, a 4A school and then beat defending state champion Friendship on the road, is ridiculous. Teams going unbeaten should be rewarded and that has nothing to do with ranking. Yes, both are #1 seeds, but York is unbeaten while Hampton lost 2 games. York's side won 3 of 4 first round games as well.
  7. Marion County was way overrated in the AP Poll at #2. Sure they were unbeaten but look at their schedule. They beat just 1 team with a winning record in the regular season. I think East Robertson will run away with this game. Marion County may have some good athletes but playing a very weak schedule doesn't prepare you for the tough teams in the playoffs.
  8. Like last year, Region 2 is stronger. Bledsoe County in this one.
  9. Did Eagleton Academy draw away athletes from Maryville? I was surprised to see Maryville struggling this season. 6-4 would be good for most teams but not for them. but then I was also surprised to see them beat Alcoa.
  10. If York played East Robertson's weak schedule with only Smith County being a difficult game...which they lost, Myles would have greater numbers too. No one on ER's schedule is as good at Stone Memorial or Friendship Christian, plus Bledsoe County and Clay County are also very good. York couldn't help playing a couple of weak region teams.
  11. I've seen both teams and I think Bledsoe County won't have any trouble winning this, especially since they are at home.
  12. #1 York quarterback Myles Leffew has led the Dragons to a 9-0 record with wins over 4A Stone Memorial when they were ranked #8 in the state, state ranked #7 Clay County 26-0, who went to the championship games last year, #3 Friendship Christian away, Bledsoe County 27-17 away and 1 loss Oneida 28-0 away. Against very tough competition he has 813 rushing yards, 549 passing yards, has led the team to #1 in the state, a 9-0 record, with the team scoring 31.1 points while giving up 6.5 and he has 28 solo tackles on defense.
  13. I'm a York fan, but Oneida won't lie down.
  14. Pickett County has everyone back. They should easily return to the state after being there last year, a year before they were expected to make it.
  15. What do you think about this game? I think York has no trouble winning this game.
