It's been a while since I've had a chance to check the boards, and as usual, crimsontide takes a stand promoting himself and his staff. I didn't post to gain your approval, nor does anything you post damage my credibility. I made reference to last year's Mt.Juliet game with Blackman to illustrate the talent level they faced. I know the teams weren't involved this year, the Blackman team is playing varsity basketball, I merely noted the situation. Had this years team played last years schedule, they would not have made the state tournament at all. Mt.Juliet had a decent squad, but nothing like last year. Not even close. They merely played a very weak schedule. I saw all the home games, and most all the boys teams I saw them play in that gym were weak. WJB was probably the strongest team they played and their team was decimated with injury to the post game. Still took a clock error by MJuliet to win that one at home. Just not impressed with the mj team. Maybe a better, more disciplined approach would not have swayed my opinion. I just know,as a mother, and according to my friends and their parents, the boys might have been prouder of their involvement as well.
