Any word on the CSAS team? I think they are back to back champs in the district, but there is alot of talk about how good whitwell is.

Ill take VB by 10

What are you talking about or refering to?

Maybe you got a different version of the paper sunday then me, but I didnt see any predictions posted anywhere on how well teams were going todo. They had a nice article about Tommy Fox coming back to ND and if he gets to play in the games then yes id say they will do well forsure....

Ive seen him walk off the court during a JV game and go to the lockeroom while the game was still being played.....Thats all i needed to see of him....Get in his head and he is done......Not a good characteristic of the best PG in the city......

Best PG in the city, that has yet to see real minutes in a Varsity game?

Congrats to TTA on beating the TWO POWERHOUSES Rhea County and Notre Dame in Scrimmages.....Get me TTA's players ring sizes and ill go ahead and order the championship rings for you.... /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Is he the one that got two fouls in the first two minutes of the game? If so he could do alot of watching this year......He is big though.....

My thoughts: CSAS- returns the core of its team, with clearly the best player in the district if not region this year Kayla Kelly...they have a new coach who i havent heard of, so that could be a question mark there. SouthPitt/Whitwell- Both are well coached and South Pitt has the athletes to keep up with CSAS Salecreek- had a good group of sophmores last year that should be even better this year Richard Hardy/Lookout Valley- Not sure what they have i would excpect them to struggle I think CSAS has won back to back titles and has only lost 1 district game in the two years...Should be an interesting season

Please name the kids that didnt come back for their senior year? Please name whose child was taken off the team during the middle of the season?

Cousin can play the PG but ill assume that you already knew that since you know so much about the team. And this is the same team that went like 30-1 this summer with Cobb in NY the whole summer. To me it seemed that Cobb accepted his role and understood what an important role is, instead of being that selfish kid that complains because he doesnt start. A college coach will love to have the kid that isnt worried about himself, but more concerned about his TEAM

You know what they say when you assume......... /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Your credibility is really done. Lets see Hampton was District player of the year, District tourney MVP, All Region Team, 2nd team all city, made the All-State team but Craven (left hand kid) was the best player on the team? The other senior your refering to ( Carter ) never spent a day in the gym during the summer all four of his years he was there. So i would say that Coach High and Higgins would have probably cut him if you ask me.......

Jurrick from East Ridge 6' 11" 240+ commited to Tennessee

Your right he was quick....He held his own very well playing last year. But without Woods he will stuggle i think

I think they had a kid that played PG last year that was an 8th grader. He was pretty good, but way undersized. Without Woods their in trouble.

Dude serious what is your issue here? Burning bridges? One senior from last years team is playing at Chatt State i think, and the other is in school at ETSU. Those were the only two seniors from that team, but i assume since you know so much that you already knew that. This years team currently has two players being recruited by D-II and D-I mid major schools. Again I ask what your issue is?

Not bragging at all just giving facts. (something that you cant give) The district isnt that great, but going 26-0 in a highschool sport is a nice accomplishment. I would ask you to tell me when CSAS had a "loaded team" (which you stated before) and then fell short in the tournament? Also I would like to invite you to call CSAS and schedule to come to the school and take a tour of the school and tell me if it looks and feels like any private school you have ever been to? One thing they teach at CSAS is that you cant just go around and say things unless you have facts to support them. SO could you please give us your facts about the comments you have made.

CSAS moved up to AA at somepoint during the mid 90's and was one of the smallest schools in AA. In 98 CSAS played your State Championship Crusaders and smoked them by like 30 I do believe. While in AA they advanced to the Sub-State twice. Since back in Single A they havent lost a District game in two years, and the closest game in District was maybe 17pts. And someone else was saying how Coach Dragoo has under-achieved at CSAS. They have won 20 games a year for atleast the last 10yrs. He has had only one loosing season in 18 years at CSAS. He has GRADUATED every player that has come through the program, and I would say close to 95% of those have gone on to GRADUATE college. SO lets see, he has won games with these kids, and made MEN out of them (many of them who dont have a father in their life) SO if you really think he has under achieved then maybe you should get your priorities in line.

Does he tell it like it is or is he just doing his job and portraying his clients best interests? I heard them complain that nothing was written about how once "temple new of the allegations, that they were in contact with the TSSAA and upfront about it all" If they would have self-reported their violations the TSSAA would have given a much lesser penalty, but waiting for the TSSAA to call you if not self-reporting. Temple is now just wasting money by having panels, and keep talking about it with their lawyers, cause im sure Mr. Williams runs about $200/hr....But thats ok im sure the booster will pick up the bill along with any other recruits he may find along the way.

The only harshness of it, it the monetary penalties. The post season ban for two years in football means nothing really seeing that their team isnt good and wont make the post season anyways. Seems that Temple squeezed by on this one

Maybe the question that should be asked is why this kid was even playing, if he had already suffered from two concussions?

Any update on the meeting last week? Has this situation disappeared? /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

If i were any of those basketball players i would stay as far away from the train wreck that is the Temple football team. No need to risk getting hurt and ruining a chance to atleast compete in basketball. The coaches and administration should be ashamed of themselves if this meeting asking more players to come out and play happened.

Not assuming anything, its just that your such a fan and wont take a second a step back and look at the situation. This is from the TFP "The father of one confirmed that his son was asked to try out by a Temple booster and that his son not only practiced but also played in the Crusaders' spring scrimmage against Christian Heritage" So what is your definition of recruiting? But now im sure that your gonna say that the kids father was not telling the truth.
