The good thing is that will be decided on the court for sure....

.......and chrisburr is a big puss puss!

She stood up for the national anthem like you are supposed to do and showed reverence. Proud of her.

Glad you are back in the gym. I know that time off was brutal. Especially for the seniors!

Okay thanks

He should be called burr head. Classless bum!

Bonds is good enough to score whenever she wants, but isn't assertive enough. If she played with the right mind set she'd be one of the top players offensively in the state, but she is too passive. Forces Williams to have to do a lot, which is why I'm sure she forced shots. Both are really good players. UC has a decent supporting cast too. But this will be there year to try and make a run. They'll struggle to replace what they'll lost with Williams next year.

For the TSSAA to find them eligible they have shown proof. I have an idea since the majority of your posts are ranting about this. Come to Shelby County and check all these eligibility requirements for yourself. Then you can report it to the TSSAA. These great athletes are suddenly showing up at Houston High School because Mike Miller is the coach. Isn't that obvious? Can you not see that? Miller has Hoops City AAU as his advantage. If Miller was at Kirby, Collierville, Mitchell, Melrose he'd get the same kids. His advantage now is that out of state kids don't have to live in Germantown. They can just move into the commuting area and apply as a student in the district. Germantown is pretty expensive. The cheapest house right now is $220,000. But that doesn't matter with the rules the way they are. I'm sure some coaches are really upset. I bet Southwind is livid. They used to be the school that pulled the talent from the area but he won't be able to touch what Miller can do. Wanna blame somebody? Blame the TSSAA and the State Department of Education. Everything that is happening is well with in the rules that they set. As long as winning the the top priority in high school athletics then this is what's gonna happen. The NFHS sold basketball out a long time ago to the shoe companies and with that the AAU and it's culture took hold. Contact the TSSAA, start a petition, call your local representative. It is what it is and no amount of moaning and crying is gonna change it.

Seems like a lot of bitterness towards some hard working kids. I'll reiterate my point. With me it always comes back to the kids. I know first hand the amount of year round effort the kids put in to winning a state championship. The kids get pushed to compete above where they are expected to during the season against great teams in higher classifications. When they win its awesome, when they don't, its a lesson. They work harder in preparation for the goal than is necessary to achieve the goal. Isn't that what we are supposed to be teaching the kids? Your comments come across as wanting either the Alcoa kids to lose a championship they deserve or for another group of kids to have an easier path to the championship by removing a group of kids that deserve to be there. Is that really what we want to be doing? Let the kids play where they are classified to play, compete hard and let the outcome be settled on the field ( and in my opinion more importantly in the off season workouts). A lot of the talk about Alcoa not playing in the 3A comes across as adults wanting kids to lose that are playing in the classification they are supposed to be in. Why would adults want to take away a win from kids that have earned it and deserve to be there? If Alcoa has a slightly down year in the near future and moved up and lost, yet could have won in the classification they were supposed to compete in, is that fair to the kids? Would that make some folks happy? Let the kids enjoy what they earn and what they deserve. They compete against the best competition they can find regardless of division during the season every year. When it comes time for the playoffs they are more than ready for what is facing them.

If you spent as much time building up your Fulton team as you do crying about Alcoa they might not be straight trash and win more than 4 games in a year.

If DB is there so is Science Hill .Play Bearden very tough.And so is Morristown East

Yes I’m hanging with your mother tonight. All night.....

You got that right and thank you for saying that. However, Coach Gaddis did get into the Tennessee High School Hall of Fame so he will be remembered as a winner. Also, I hate losing but it was exciting going up against Oakland and Riverdale. OR took their lumps against both teams but the Wildcats have beaten both since. My favorite was a come from behind VictORy over Oakland. The Cardinal and Gray were down at the half 0 - 28 but roared back to win in OT. I was so proud of the team, band, cheerleaders and fans. OR simply went NUTS in the second half. Good times, no, GREAT TIMES!
