When you open a can of worms, get ready for the "fertilization" to start.

TSSAA Hall of Fame Category: Coach Birth: October 6, 1937 Teacher/Coach 31 years (Lebanon HS)...coached football, baseball, basketball, and golf...won 500 games in basketball...made 3 TSSAA State Basketball Tournament appearances (1969, 1972, 1985)...served as a TSSAA official for 44 years...named the Tennessean Mid-State Basketball Coach of the Year 3 times...the gymnasium floor at Lebanon High School is named the ???Hester Gibbs Court???in his honor.

Marshall and Dillard did coach together at Lebanon during the late 80's and early 90's under Coach Medley. Dillard followed Medley as the head coach at Lebanon for 4 years. Marshall left for Smyrna during those years and took over the Lebanon job after Dillard.

Best I can remember Oakland did finish 2nd in 90, the post Clinic Bowl years. Lebanon beat Oakland that year 14 - 0 in week 8 at MTSU. This would have been one of Rankin's first years at Riverdale, possibly finishing 4-6 that year.

Did Oakland even go to the playoffs in the 90's as a 7AAA representative? 90 Champion Lebanon and Runner-up Oakland??? 91 Champion Riverdale and Runner-up Lebanon 92 Champion Riverdale and Runner-up Lebanon 93 Region play begins

Lady Devils struggle early scoring 5 points in the first quarter and ZERO in the 2nd quarter. Lebanon trailed by 20 something points at one point in the game. However, they go on to score 49 in the 2nd half, out scoring Lincoln County's 46 total points for the game. Best of luck to the girls as they play Lawrence County Monday night.

Delaney suspended: then Sparta could be similar to that Siegel team.

Icelyn will return while older sister London leaves the starting rotation.

Winning a region tournament game would be significant for this team. Winning two region tournament games would be extremely special, and that does not happen very often for most teams.

Who was it that scored the late touchdown in 1984 Championship? (only Championship of school and is not a legend????) How come I keep hearing that story 23 years later.....legends come from history retold over and over.

But being the Defensive Coordinator on the Trousdale County Football State Champions couldn't hurt..... As for Sallis holding the starting job..... look at what happened when he didn't start, then what he did during the middle of the game when he returned to his role. Realistically, Lebanon should not win this game as a 4th seed at a very special place, but this team is capable of beating teams they shouldn't.

Lebanon Blue Devils ....a possibility I'm sure that a potential second round opponent would love to see them again!

Mark Medley is the Principal at Gordonsville Elementary. He currently is the offensive coordinator for the Gordonsville High School football team. The head coach is one of his former players/coaches/& successor at Lebanon, Bob Dillard.

I would venture to say that LHS has thrown the fade route on less than 50% of their attempts. Last year, maybe, they threw that route more. Watching the games this year, I doubt that you will find a better situation than the past few weeks at QB....what a competitor. Time and time again Sallis has led the team to do what it takes to maintain possession of the ball in critical times either by running, scrambling, or throwing the ball. To say that a QB change is needed......speaks volumes for your opinion......Sallis is a winner. The next QB will be exciting as well.....very similar to what Sallis did in the Smyrna game I would say. Good luck to both in the future.

Missed one last night.....a penalty was called

What is the status on Friendship's QB?

The player ejected was neither of the Elie sisters.

Personally, I have seen this player play many games the last couple years, including Friday night. I was curious how he would respond without the "other guys". I did not think he could carry his team, yet he has shown more than I thought he would. However, as I try to remember through the years of someone in 7AAA that approached an official before and several times during a game, I draw a blank. Remembering the great Oakland, Sparta, Lebanon, the good Blackman teams a few years back, and even the Luna years at Warren County, I have yet to recall anyone of the great players lead the way that Cutter does. Siegel's team has some good young talent that will have the opportunity to be highly competitive in the next few years. We will all remember certain players, from all the 7AAA teams, years down the road, some more than others. How this particular young man is remembered is still yet to be determined. If he was a Senior right now, it would be a shame that many would look at him through a pessimistic point of view. He has an opportunity to be remembered for something that very few athletes in 7AAA can ever say, 4 year starter. As a fan of the game, I would hope that I will remember Cutter as that skinny little kid that could shoot lights out as a freshmen, and grew up not only in stature, but also as a leader. Right now I don't believe I will remember him as such.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The conversation between the player and the official was much more than dialogue. Much exaggerated demonstration of future particular occurences was what was viewed by this spectator. Most importantly, the kid should respect the game more by participating with his team during warm-ups. His conversation with the demonstrations could have been discussed with the officals and the opposing team during the captains meeting. This type occurence is not a display of team spirit or of a competitive nature.

Pregame warm-up Most People: Lay-ups, 3 on 2, Shell, Shooting, etc. Pregame warm-up Cutter: Explaining to the Officials what they should look for when so and so do so and so to him during the game. Good Offensive Player, but IMO is not on a playing level in which he can walk over to the officials standing across from the scorers table sideline and discuss technique of officiating a game. Mind you this is before the game. Good Grief!!! Shut Up and Play. If he continues this he will be remembered more for his tantrums on the floor (like Oden's T's) than his offensive playing ability. .....Remember that kid from Siegel that used to......

I thought someone said that Cutter had stopped all of his crying and complaining during games. I've never seen someone cry to the official as much or have more ailments than him from the start to the finish of a game. I know he can play offense, but that boy has got more problems than a math book!!!

District & Region 1st round games will be played at the home of the higher seed. This is the first year for this format in district play. Using home sites in first round of region play has been going on for several years now.

Didn't The Nation have its foundation from the first year when mediocrity was at best for Siegel's basketball team. It seemed as though the first year is when the organized jargon of slogans, chants, and cheers began, though in a mild form. This was the beginning of when people noticed that the students were beginning the new traditions.

Maybe sickness did give Lebanon more opportunities. However, the Devils have greatly improved since game 1. Again, should have been "NO CALL" Different if he was shooting and got knocked over, but it didn't happen. Again, should have been "NO CALL"
