Hey PTS, come out, come out, wherever you are!?!?!?!?!?!?!

you played a pretty good game from what i heard. but really, when was the last time you had 11 assists? you shoot the rock better than alot of players in east tennessee and i would say you're probably one of the better shooters in east tennessee class A ball, with no one in your face. but right now, it scares me. are you gonna be able to dish the ball off consistently when you get to tourney play? because everyone will be keying on you and getting a hand in your face. i hope you don't get frustrated and are able to dish to the three big boys and allow the twins to penetrate and dish to you for open shots, but i'm sure flatford is telling you the same. okay, you had what, 34 points, 11 assists, a pretty good game. NOW PLAY SOME DEFENSE!!!! if the rest of the team played defense with the same intensity as the twins, Cosby games would be a sight to behold!!!!!

Did 21 shoot rone's eyes out like he did the other night against Grace? I think he scored over 30. If Cosby continues to shoot the rock as good as they have been, I'm telling you they're capable of making some noise in the postseason. They have though gotten better since Rone left under somewhat "mysterious" circumstances, he's kinda like the "Magic Man" from Talladega Nights, "Now you see me, now you don't". As long as the twins continue to penetrate and dish off, and play that intense defense they do, they'll be okay.

GLORY JOHNSON from Webb School, no one else close.

exactly barb, you hit the nail on the head. if he wants to criticize, i don't have a problem, everyone has the right to do so. but the personal attacks by pts are unwarranted and in my opinion very unprofessional from a supposed "media professional". i enjoy listening to WLIK broadcasts of both cocke county and cosby basketball games. brian evans does a good job of fairly broadcasting, however seth is overly critical and unprofessional to the point of calling an official out by name on a questionable call.

advice taken raider ray, i'm just not up on the etiquette of posting i suppose. i'm sorry if i did not make myself clear, i don't have a problem with ptsportswriter questioning a call on-air, just that it's not warranted at the high school level to call out a referee on air for a mistake or to question an official's integrity in a public forum. yeah, he may have made a bad call, but to call into question the man's personal integrity? i just don't find that proper. maybe i'm way off base, i don't know. criticize the officiating, that's fine, everyone will. but leave it at that, criticism. to openly discuss and make accusations about an official and his ties, that's, i'm gonna scream here JUST NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year's team was probably the best Cosby has seen, right up there with the Josh Webb and David Savard teams of the past. However, this year's team if they continue to shoot lights out, like they did against Grace has got a chance to make some noise, it's gonna be fun to follow.

SETH, YOUR WHINING AND BELLY-ACHING IS STARTING TO REALLY WEAR THIN ON MOST EVERYBODY. IF THE TEAM CAN'T OVERCOME ONE BAD CALL AND MIND YOU, FROM WHAT I HEARD, IT WAS A BAD CALL. THEN THEY PROBABLY DON'T DESERVE TO WIN. THERE IS NO WAY AS YOU SAY, THAT ONE CALL PROBABLY DICTATED THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME. JUST NOT POSSIBLE. TERRIBLE SHOOTING, QUESTIONABLE COACHING IDEOLOGIES AND JUST MAKING YOUNG TEAM MISTAKES PROBABLY COST THIS TEAM MORE THAN ONE QUESTIONABLE CALL. SO YOU WATCHED THE VIDEO, IT WAS A BAD CALL. BUT COST YOU THE GAME???????? HORRENDOUS SHOOTING IS WHAT COST YOU THE GAME. YOU MAKE A FEW MORE SHOTS, YOU WIN. BUT TO COME ON HERE AND QUESTION A REFEREE'S INTEGRITY? SETH THAT'S A PERSONAL ATTACK AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE ABOVE THAT, GUESS NOT!!!! YOU'RE NOT ABOVE QUESTIONING A REFEREE BY NAME ON THE RADIO DURING A LIVE BROADCAST EX. COSBY GAME ON AN OUT OF BOUNDS CALL, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. ANYWAY, I'LL GET OFF MY SOAPBOX AND LET YOU ALL POST IN PEACE. HOWEVER, ONE LAST PARTING COMMENT FOR SETH, IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIND EXCUSES FOR YOUR TEAM'S MISTAKES. IF THEY LOSE, THEY LOSE.
