Kelsey Risner at Wayne County. Averaging over 17 points and 10 rebounds per game. Handles it, guards, and passes on top of the stats. Helped bring home the gold ball in 2011. In the 1400 point area for her career.

I am a Cocke County graduate and moved 300 miles away about 15 years ago. When I got up on Saturday morning and checked the Coacht scoreboard and saw 29-28, I did a double take. Cocke County beating Jefferson County is a big deal and always will be. Old guys like me from many miles away still keep up with Big Red football. I'm proud of the new coach and the kids. They are turning this thing around. Keep up the good work.

I grew up watching Science Hill vs. Dobyns Bennett. Bolivar and Liberty Tech is the new great rivalry. Two of the four games went to overtime and all of them were decided by single digits. I wish Arnett Bodenhammer the best of luck. I have known him for a long time, but this will be a war.

Anybody who gets up and leaves after their team plays on Wednesday is not a basketball fan. I'm going to sit there all day to watch this one.

I sent Ben Dotson a rabbit's foot, four-leaf clover, and a St. Patrick's Day t-shirt to wear to the drawing. So much for superstition.

Just my two cents worth as far as the lateral move part goes, I agree on the exterior it appears like a wash at best. But I have interviewed in both school systems within the past 5 years, and the pay and benefits in Murfreesboro city are better. Actually, quite a bit better.

I agree with playboysb. It's Melrose. Everyone else is playing for second.

I talked to another coach in Murfreesboro today, and he seconded the Thomas statement, but he also said that Troy Bond would be the other contender. So it looks like Thomas or Bond.

I am not from any of these places, so I think I am objective. Dyer County and Bolivar have been very impressive with their crowds at the state tournaments in the past. Lawrence County brings huge crowds now. But my all-time memories are Science Hill and Dobyns Bennett when Pitts was in Johnson City and Buck was in Kingsport. They would play in arenas that held several thousand, and if you didn't get there waaaay early, you could forget getting in.

I hear from a person today who applied for the job that it could very well be Kevin Thomas.

I talked to a coach who competed against both teams. He says Wayne County.

Jackson Co. vs. Wayne Co.

If you put a gun to my head, I'm probably pulling for Liberty Tech. But whoever wins will have to go through Fulton. Until somebody beats them, they are the man.

Lets wait and see the draw. Remember, Humboldt and Manassas had to play each other in the first round last year.

Congrats to both teams. Although I don't live in West Tennessee, I have known Arnett Bodenhammer for years and am very happy to see him get to the Boro. He had a lot of pressure stepping into this position, but he showed in his first year that he belongs and can do the job.
