Ok, while the argument for Tiechman is half valid, if Kelly had not played for Centennial, Centennial would have won 4 games +-1! He is hands down the MVP of this district and I think its biased for someone to say otherwise.

There could be, but there shouldn't be. Kelly should win this award hands down.

Centennial= no chance without Scales

I believe I called this back on Jan. 17 in that there would be a 3 way tie for first place. /hungry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hungry:" border="0" alt="hungry.gif" /> While the season is not over it looks as though my prediction was right on the money!!!

I wouldn't quite say Franklin is overrated, however I would say they aren't performing up to expectations this year though. The same thing could be said about Brentwood.

Congrats to Sheperd and Williams today on their respective college choices in Harding and Carson Newman University

Indy made it to regions in 06 and lost to eventual state semi-finalist Whites Creek by 4?

Thats a very good question? /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

If I remember right Indy had a really good basketball team a couple of years ago with Kuchar and Co. So I would say Indy is a basketball school as well as an above average football school. Franklin is still the best team in the district, however they can be beaten and have been. They just don't have the mentally tough leaders that they used to have such as D. Batt, Antonio, Derek Anderson, Jeff Barnes, etc.

I do think this is a rivalry game despite Franklin winning all the games thus far. If you think back over the last 3 even 4 years there has been many close and exciting games between the two, including this one won on a last second shot. However Franklin has and will have bragging rights until Indy can do something about it, which is win one. I just hope some Franklin students decide to show up at their own gym to liven the atmosphere. Good luck to both Franklin and Indy though.

I'll have to tell you some other time. You are correct about Warner but let's stop using the two names in the same thread if it's going to remain open. PS: I'm a Warner fan too /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

You would be surprised /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> But regardless, you have your opinion and and I have mine. And Kurt Warner played for a nationally ranked team, Northern Iowa, which is D1-aa.

I hate to tell the future job seekers for this position but the talent level is not up to par (or atleast where it was at one point) and won't be in the next few years. There just aren't TC Jennings, Daniel Beckers, or Paul Cleckners walking Ravenwood's hallways anymore.

There were a few missed calls that went both ways. However you can't blame the outcome of the game on them. Both of these teams look geared to make the region tourney. So good luck to both from here on out.

Any word on where he's looking to go? I hear Western Kentucky might be a possibility?

I really wasn't shocked by this decision. I think he has an uphill battle ahead of him, but if I know him he will succeed on into the college ranks. Coach Rector was the best coach this region has had for some time and will truly be missed. On a side note: the talent he had from the 06 and 07 graduating classes was far superior to what he's had the past couple of seasons, and as a result could have influenced his decision.

Too much attention has been drawn to this thread for someone in reality will not play higher than NAIA/ D3 football if that. Close it.

bump

While that statement is true; there is also a lot more to it such as the region was back to normalcy this year after a down season last year when Indy made their trip to state. But this is for another thread and i'll leave it at that. I still think Franklin will win the region, however Brentwood or Indy could pull it out. However Indy will have to take care of teams like Hillsboro and Brentwood will have to take care of their business against teams like Ravenwood.

I think that point is very valid, especially after last night. I'm still not sure about this Franklin team. While during preseason and on paper they are hands down the best team in the district. They have yet to completely show it on the court. They really remind me of the Indy team a couple of years back and we all know what happened to them. But Congrats to the Cougars on the win tonight.

That's a good point that a lot of people don't realize in that at Hillwood a good amount of the students, especially the athletes, that attend there are not actually zoned to go to the school but are actually "bussed in" from other parts of town. It's funny how that works. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" Too bad Williamson County doesn't work like that. There would be twice as many state championships brought back to the county if that was the case

If I remember correctly this group of 11th and 12th graders had always struggled with basketball (as well as football) dating back to their days at Woodland. I remember talking with a middle school coach in the county saying how much of a drop off it was from previous years. But hey academics is an okay thing to excel at even in Tennessee /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like Franklin, Indy, Brentwood, and Hillsboro are setting themselves above the rest of the district. However there is still a lot of basketball left to be played.

Somebody help the muffin man out!

I will be the first to call you out and say that's a horrible attitude to have. I was at the Indy Franklin game earlier this season and the Franklin student section stood about 20 at best and that's including a certain, someone's father yelling and screaming like he always does. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> If it takes your biggest rival game to have a student section at all then just go ahead and pack it up. It makes the games much more enjoyable to go to when both school's student sections are loud and rowdy.
