First time online since going down, guys and this thread was a blessing from God! i m still totally dependent on oygen to breathe. Lost 43 lbs of mostly muscle. Been in CCU for 20 days now. Please keep the prayers coming and good lucke to everyone tonight! Miss you guys.

At least you won't back out of the game like little brother did.

Congratulations to the Tomcats on the win. Nothing but respect for your team.

Mav, you are starting to sound like Willie...

I told my wife get a baseball bat and knock me in the head otherwise I am going Crazy...tore the barn down and let the cattle out...I am lossing it!!! I have to calm down I am on 4 BP pills

I saw him last night and he said it was a ligament. Out 3-5 weeks and in a boot. Need him by playoffs.

Matthew 18:20 (NLT) For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there Brother we have truly gathered on this thread and some knees are worn from prayer ! I know we cannot always see Gods plan but I have a gut feelin he ain’t done with you on this earth ! Love you like a brother man !! You keep working and we will keep praying and praising !!!

Yeah, Let’s do this…. Been waiting for what seems like a decade

Same ole same ole. Just waiting for Oakland to come to Murvl for the semis.

What about them Jackets. Most of their kids back this week. Different story

Same to the Tomcats. Looks like y’all are the real deal again. Impressive win.

He’s definitely a goat. He can play QB. Running back. Wide receiver line backer. Probably just about anywhere else

What a game

Has this went final yet?!

Cf driving 3 minutes left

34-0 in 3rd

Wish we hadn’t missed the one PAT. The clock would be running and I’d get home sooner

That would be nice to have him back in time for the playoffs. In the meantime maybe some of the other guys will see some good solid minutes and build a little depth there at RB.

18-7 cf at the half

Played 3out of 5 only 2 in our pool / Briarcrest won 25-22 - -22-25 - 25 21 25 19 know head ref never refed before & don’t know if he’s ever seen a game - but Summertown played great

26-0

Bummer. That’s the one thing that has been hampering Ensworth so far this season. Injuries. Hayden plays extremely tough and is in on just about every play. They are happy to have him there.

Hang in there!

It would be almost impossible to name all of the Tomcat players who have won college scholarships, but to answer your question...Casey Avent (class of 1991) played at Arkansas. An interesting side note...Haywood High Athletic Director Tim Seymour (class of 1995), played at the University of Memphis.

You keep fighting and we’ll keep praying.

Hang in there sir. Praying for you!

I miss ole Passy. Definitely made playing Ooltewah interesting. #BIGBOYFOOTBALL

I’d imagine there is a strong chance of that happening haha

Hard for me to say it, but let’s go Westy!!!

lol, so now its CITY vs, County? I thought it was the school size that was the argument. But I'm going to agree with you just because the "village idiot" is disagreeing with you.

I agree, we got to win this game.

Mav, I don't need this game to tell what OR can do against Powell. I already know, not much. Ha ha

Christian Denton. He is a student at MTSU. Doing well, on track to graduate next year.

I think it's important that Clinton comes out and scores early - punch Powell in the mouth and see how they respond. Having not played in a couple of weeks, I wonder where Clinton is mentally/emotionally, especially after what happened against OR.

Meaning odd that both have larger enrollments than BA and Ensworth?

Lenoir beat Stone Monterey beat CCHS CCHS beat Lenoir Stone beat Monterey Who knows.

Kage Williams. Would be the best player in Blount County right now on both sides of the ball if he stayed. We almost got him back when COVID hit and NC delayed football, but he stayed in Robbinsville.

There is some size and talent at Inman.

I'm hearing Covid has hit some of Briarcrest's better players. Assumptions always get me in trouble BUT I assume this is why they have been swapped with Ravenwood. Brentwood plays Ravenwood now in the first game this afternoon at 4:30. Per MaxPrep, 13 of the top 15 teams in the state will be at this tournament. This also includes highly ranked teams from AL and KY. I can't think of a tournament that has had so many top teams in it. Whoever wins should hold their head high.

Good counter move Stacmot

If you have the game close at the half you will win. Gotta survive the tempo and keep it close until then though.

Sorry BPM, but I feel I must counter your post. GAMEDAY!!! LETS GO TOMCATS!!! YOU CAN DO THIS. STAY FOCUSED. PLAY HARD AND FAST FOR 4 QTRS AND GIVE IT 120%!! STACMOT BELIEVES IN YOU!!! ALL OF HAYWOOD COUNTY BELIEVES IN YOU!!!

Vic's Pick: Haywood 35 - Milan 27 Odom's Pick: Haywood 24 - Milan 21

The NBA is an entertainment platform based on basketball. You threw out a lot of offensive stats, but one of my previous points was that it should be LOVED by defensive coaches. From an offensive POV, I believe there's potential for an increase in fundamentals (inc. cutting hard, reading the defense, decision making), preparation for late game situations, etc. but not necessarily an increase in FG%, just more possessions. With a shot clock, teams will need to be better prepared to break full court pressure and in turn pressure the defense with a quality primary and secondary break before the defense has an opportunity to set up their 1/2 court defense. To be able to do so offensively, fundamentals (and conditioning) will be important to a teams success. As a coach, I like growth and change and although we disagree I appreciate your thoughts nonetheless.

Nobody wants to watch bad teams play basketball. Bad teams are simply that, bad teams. If a coach is allowing bad shooters to continually shoot bad shots, I'd venture to say that (a) the team is really bad &/or (b) there are no clearly defined roles within the team. IMO (b) is a major coaching problem. I've always believed that my worst shooters should lead the team in FG%. Have you participated (coached or watched) HS games with a shot clock? We used a shot clock in WA and when I was coaching in Hawaii we used a shot clock at our annual holiday tournament. In both instances it was well received by the fans, administrations, clock workers, refs, coaches and most important; the players.

I believe this game and LC vs Humboldt might be two of the better games in West Tn, crazy to actually be saying that but it is awesome ! I drive thru humboldt daily and there is a lot of buzz about these Vikings !

1971 Lexington team with 6'5" Larry Fry held 6'11" David Vaughn Jr to 8 points in the championship game but losing 50 to 56 while Fry scored 15 per the TSSAA archives. Vaughn had scored 45 points in the 1st round victory over Melrose. Fry went on to be 3 yr starter at Mississippi State averaging 13.8 pts and 8.1 reb over 78 games. Vaughn had been commited to Memphis State where he would join the duo from the 1969 Melrose team, Larry Finch and Ronnie Robinson. Vaughn did a late switch to sign with the overnight success Oral Roberts University but he did marry Finch's sister. Memphis State then acquired the services of junior college player Larry Kenon. David Vaughn III did end up playing for his uncle HBC Larry Finch at Memphis. Fry became a high school principal at Grenada, Ms.

Peabody is on a 40+ win streak. They are also defending State Champs (well, actually back-to-back-to-back State Champs, all in a higher classification). They have a returning Mr Football along with all the other skilled positions. They beat one of the best 2A teams in the State with a 5 Star QB. They beat a solid 4A team in Milan that was 3A runner-up last year. Both of which would beat the brakes off Watertown and Wayne County, respectfully. I'm not by a mile saying Fayetteville isn't legit, but downplaying Peabody like City should absolutely be ahead of them is moronic.

I remember SG 4 life from last year. Must be a miserable life, if all you got to do is set around and throw shade at kids. High school is definitely not pure as it once was. But it’s still the purist form of the game we got left. Think we should just enjoy it. Your Hornets are looking good this year by the way!
