Just want to make a quick comment.... Db is just straight up better than Science Hill and it showed last night. No way around it. They will not lose in conference play and will roll right into the substate and play at home.

A first stepping stone for Dobyns-Bennett begins this week. AND NO I am not speaking of tuesday vs. Tenn. High. I am talking about Sullivan East. DB should roll over Tenn. High with there great defense and pure shooters from the outside. The East game should be exciting cause East ALWAYS has a great crew of people to come out and support against the Indians. The one thing that DB can do to slow East's offense down is with their great TEAM defense. DB will use both Sylvester and Halvorsen to slow down Snapp. Both of these guys do a good job of denying players the ball to the best players DB has played thus far. It will come down to them on Snapp, if they can play the kind of defense they are capable of, then this could be another blowout to add to Dobyns-Bennett's list. Any other thoughts?

When do Volunteer and East play? That will be a dandy, the winner of that is the third best team in the conference in my view. Any other opinions?

Does anybody honestly care...... I mean its middle school. NEW TOPIC!

Dobyns-Bennett spanked their competition this week in three games winning by a total of 119. In that display was a 35 point win over Volunteer. What happened in that game? Saw where Halvorsen and Sylvester did a nice job of defending Cradic.

Yeah thats all I am saying about that. I heard them say it at the end of the year last year so I thought I might just throw it in there. ANYWAYS.............. Sullivan Central vs. Science Hill Daniel Boone vs. Dobyns Bennett .................. Dont know the rest.

Well I have some information that will probably NOT shock you Smith. I have talked to two players from Volunteer. One from the team last year and one from the team this year. And both said that Coach Whittemore of Volunteer told them to take a certain players legs out on a layup or shot if they got one. I will not reveal the names of the players cause they said not to. Now.... they said that it only happened a few of times, but still............... ONCE is WAY more than enough. There is a difference between playing hard, with heart, physicality, than playing dirty. Just think about that and you will know what I am talking about.

I will check him out. Not thinking that he will be much of a contributor this year, but probably in the future.

Could not have been said better. Nice input.

Just for the record DB is not over 2000 and nor is Science Hill. And besides that doesnt even matter. You just making up an excuse for your team. Which it is BOGUS! Thats all I am saying about that.

And also just wanted to get it out there that Mr. Amazing is certainly a player as well or he wouldn't know so much about the other posters. So listen to your advice Mr. Amazing and get off COACHT. Leave it to the fans. We all straight now? With all the hodge podge going around I wanted to clear something up before it gets started that I am not a player and like I said in an earlier post I am the father of a player that played for South's jayvee squad last year. But since my son doesn't play anymore I dont see any harm in me joining some of the conversation. Sound good? By the way, was the song really necessary? And NO I dont care who your favorite musical group is. Get a life Amazing and stop calling out people..... though they DO deserve it........ It is uncalled for. And if you continue...... We will have to unveil YOUR identity.

I kinda disagree with that cause all these teams are in the same conference for a reason. Cause they are all roughly the same size. But its whatever. Ya still gotta play the game. fan of ALL

This years Dobyns Bennett team is MUCH better than last year's. No reason to go into why, cause if you wanna know then look back at many of the previous posts. Yes, Maryville is a good squad and Bearden as well. But that's all that conference has to compete with DB and SH. Yes, Bearden has a great inside game but they have NO guards that can compete with DB's set. Maryville on the other hand DOES have the guards to compete with that of DB, BUT they DONT have the posts to beat them. So I personally think that DB will be able to beat them. Now OBVIOUSLY they would be close games. No team is just going to stomp over the other. But I think that when DB needs to score they will with there very good offense (we will find out if it is under the category of great with they start to play games, so as for now just very good) and when they need a stop they will cause they have one of the best defenses in the EAST. Especially considering they have the best defender in the BIG 9 with Sylvester. Then the post have great height so if you get your shot off you just gettin one chance. But think what you want to cause we will all find out here in about 5 months when DB faces off against Maryville at home and Bearden faces off SH @ Bearden. Winners go to State. Just my thoughts on it. And in regards to the whole fact about player's posting about themselves let's not jump to conclusions unless we know, cause that could hurt a player's image when that certain player has done nothing wrong. So let's just lay off of that. Thats my 2 cents about it.

Well if you are going to be honest then I am going to be honest as well. So lets just get to the point. You apparently post a lot like your name cause you KNOW NOTHING. Dude we are talking about THIS YEARS team. Not about who got beat when last year. Or who won it all last year. We are talking about how it is going to play out THIS YEAR!!!!! And next, YES!!!!!!!! This years Dobyns Bennett team is MUCH better than last year's. No reason to go into why, cause if you wanna know then look back at many of the previous posts. Yes, Maryville is a good squad and Bearden as well. But that's all that conference has to compete with DB and SH. Yes, Bearden has a great inside game but they have NO guards that can compete with DB's set.

So let's just lay off of that. Thats my 2 cents about it.

Yeah I think that Flack is pretty bad for his height considering the competition he should dominate each game NO MATTER WHAT! He fades away on guys that are shorter than him and doesn't finish strong around the basket. But he IS 6'9 and will get some big point totals just because of that. Therefore he will score around 15 points a game. Then with his height he will get high rebound totals. He would still kill Albright. That dude is like 6'3 and is goofy. 6'3 is a guard for a team like DB. Albright might play alright against Crockett, East, and Volunteer where they dont have much size. But in comparison to Edwards, Hardy, Gray, Flack, Turnbull, and Adams (though he is a 3 mainly, he will play in the post a lot cause he is the tallest player for SH) He will not have a chance.

Alright, fair enough. I have personally never seen him shoot well from outside. But, I will give it to him that he cant get to the basket and is a good leader for them. Also good passer.

Young is a really good slasher but not a great shooter. Just my opinion. He is what makes Tenn. High go though. Doesn't get to use his great on ball defense as much because they run that zone.

Oh I know he is a good shooter, but he came in and said "pretty good" I just wanted him to clarify that we were talking about THE BEST. Not just some of the good ones. Yeah Damron is good, dont get me wrong.

My list in this order....... 1. Jordan Edwards 2. Ashlon Adams 3. Bronson Flack (not that good but he is 6'9 and also the rest of compet. is not very good) 4. Dionte Gray 5. Tenn. High post cant remember his name 6. Kyle Barnes (East) 7. Marshall Hardy (DB) 8. Mason Canty (Tenn. High) 9. Darren Riggs (DB) 10. Central Kid about 6'7 no skills but he is tall and he will have a couple of big games

So he shoots pretty well??? We are looking for THE BEST! Not pretty good ones.

I like the other three and even would keep Barnes in there......... but PLEASE NEVER EVER put Patrick Albright in the same category as Jordan Edwards and Dionte Gray. PLEASE he will get his lunch eaten by those guys each and EVERY game. He has no chance. Let's get real now. There are guards in this conference that are better at post than him. Come on. I know you a Central guy......... but WOW!

Who are the best posts in the conference this year?

I agree none of the other teams have a chance to beat DB and even Science Hill. So who is coming in 3rd? There is nobody that can play with DB out of the other region. Bearden would come the closest and they are not deep enough. If Bearden played Science Hill it would be close but I think that SH is too athletic. SO NO!!! There is no team that can compete w/ EITHER of these two teams.

Any other players that anybody wants to add to the best shooters in EAST TENN.?

SHOWTIMERock......... give us your top 5. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />
