You better have! Enjoy your visit to UC

Union City - 49 NCS - 7

The Gibson Co. HC will NOT be applying for this job. "Straight From the Source"

You sound like a broken record man...Don't you all have some softball to practice or something! Leave the basketball to the ones still playing.

You could at least spell our last name right, its Cruce.

The process begins today!

Spring Practice in May and a for sure scrimmage with McKenzie

Although she did have a relatively good year this year, she had nothing to do with the state championship last year. 3 College Freshmen playing for UTM had everything to do with the state championship last year.

Coach Hill made playoffs his first two years at OC, while Bowling continued the streak to 3 with Bowling picking up OC's FIRST and ONLY playoff victory to date

You're right.It would really make a lot of teams scared.And a lot of fans also.So scared that you'd have to have emercency personel on hand in case Whitby moved.! That's a real classy statement! I feel sorry for the Barger's having to come back to Lake County and deal with people like you!

Purple, How crazy would it be to see two Sisco's and a Whitby on the same bench? I think you are absolutely right to say that not many teams would want to face that scenario

Rumor says this was an "inside job." He is Friend to a high ranking administrator. Too bad for the guys who will have to play for this guy if he is as bad as everyone is saying.

P&G: I agree that many people are upset about the whole Aubrey situation. My father in law was THE biggest OC supporter there was. He would and did do everything he possibly could to advance the OC program. When the OC administration basically tells someone who gives of his time freely to help that he is no longer allowed to contribute in anyway, what is one supposed to do. I think many don't realize the pain and agony the Reedy family has dealt with over the past three years. When people who call you friends repeatedly stab you in the back, it gets kinda hard to keep putting up with the same stuff. Personally, there will always be a special place in my heart for OC. However, why would I support a school or system that does nothing for me or my family? I guess I am the only one who can see the irony and hypocrisy in hiring Chassidy's trainer as ASSISTANT COACH when my father in law wasn't even allowed to help in any capacity. These decisions by the OC admin as well as others (dealing with football coaches) have really made me resent the OC school system administration.

P&G- You are exactly right to say I have strong ties to OC. I was valedictorian and I played football there for four years. I wouldn't change a second of my time with friends, such as your son, for anything. In reality, it is the OC people who have an agenda with my family. That being said, it really upsets me when people try to insinuate that Chassidy put OC girls basketball on the "map". GOOD player no doubt but you know as I do that basketball is not about one person. If I had my way, there would be no Miss Basketball and Mr. Football since they are both TEAM sports. Everyone believes a player should garner the award for different reasons. I feel that the overlying criteria SHOULD (but I am sure is not considering the members of state championship teams that did not win the award in all classes) be team success and leadership in a skillful way. Thus, my view is that she did not do much to advance Obion Central Basketball program to a level that was better than the way she found it, which should be the goal of all players and coaches.

In response to 2. Were you there? I think MOST (probably not any OC fans due to lack of objectivity) people knew she walked. You must honestly be in denial if you believe that only one play causes a team to win or lose. In response to 3. Give me a break. My wife was a part of a team AT OCCHS that won at least 20 games EVERY year and even made it to the state tournament. 20 wins is nothing at OC. If she played at a non-tradition rich program it might be an accomplishment. In reality, she did NOTHING for her team on the grand scheme of things.

Just like ptguard12 pointed out to you in an earlier post....You give compliments in a back-handed sort of way...Chassidy is a great player, but.....The other girl that got nominated for Miss Basketball is good, but...OC played as a team against GC in the game at GC, but....See what I mean ?? Look....When it came down to THE critical point in the game what happened ??..Had the lay-up gone in it wouldn't have mattered whether or not they hit free throws....Acknowledge that...It goes both ways...Sure had OC hit all their free throws it MIGHT not have mattered...I DO KNOW ONE THING WITH PERFECT CLARITY...Had that lay-up went in OC would have won 51-50....Now let's end that debate... I get very tired of people slighting what Chassidy has done....Chassidy is a good player, but...You know??...It gets very old....Allow me to let you in on something...I have no affiliation with OC basketball...I do however have one son that played football and graduated from OC,whom you know very well...Got another that is playing baseball this season and will play football next season...That's what affiliation I have to that school..Again,no earth-shattering , TMZ-like breaking news...I have been very transparent about who I follow...If I had my druthers it would be Union City, and I do follow them...I could rail on the basketball program, but I choose not to...It's not in the best interest of my son who has to walk up and down the halls of that school...That, I'm sure of... Let's end this here...Chassidy Fussell is a great player who deserved that Miss Basketball Award..She will do very well at Texas...Heather Butler, Heather Griffin and Audrey Reedy are going to be part of something very special at UT-Martin....Congrats to the Gibson County Lady Pioneers...You young ladies proved to everyone that you are the very best in AA ball.... 1. I believe Chassidy gave a comment in the Jackson Sun that seemed a little unneccessary in her statement about beating Gibson again. 2. Wasn't Chassidy called for a walk at a crucial point in the game? One player and one play does not decide the outcome of any game. There are multiple missed opportunities in any given game. 3. What has Chassidy done for OC?

Any teams doing spring practice in Feb or early March?

Any teams conducting spring practice during Feb or early March?

PLUS, why would she (Reedy) want to be back at OC? I highly doubt she is already tired of polishing her STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ring! Just thought I should add that.

First of all, I feel it necessary to post on this forum about speculations Ghost has made about the Reedy family. You should definitely gets your facts straight before you post your "garbage." In fact, the Reedy's had moved well before the school year ever started. AND as if you would be the type to worry about accuracy and facts, I would know since I am married to their oldest daughter! Why don't you act like an adult and give us the chance to know who you are. However, it seems you are too scared to do so. Also, the Lady Rebels won and Lady Pioneers lost. One game, one win, one loss. That is it. OC has a right to gloat for the old saying goes, "To the victors the spoils go." However, this game means nothing in the grand scheme of things so everyone please quit putting so much emphasis on it. The tournaments are the REAL games. SEE YOU THEN!

I agree that is a weird call and came at an inopportune time for the pioneers. However, that single call did not cost the pioneers the game. In fact, GC boys could have been called for a Technical foul for running the baseline when they entered the court (On the runout). However, that same referee that made the delay of game call also elected to only warn the GC team instead of calling the foul.

Great Post! Coach Bowling is a great coach and an even better person. I enjoyed every moment that I played for him. He epitomizes the concept of a player's coach and tries to make the game fun on all levels. I have enjoyed watching the UC team grow under his leadership. No disrespect to the previous coach as he gave a great service to UC, but I believe Coach Bowling was the right coach to lead the UC Tornadoes into the promising future of the program. Anyways, congratulations to Coach Bowling and good luck on Friday.

The question is "Were you at the game?" Ronnie Fair was taken out for a play or two after that mishap in judgment. Thanks for your biased opinion though.
