Duncan for sure. He gets more minutes on the court than the players do!

Thats a good one 1hoopLAfan. What coach doesn't whine in this conference? The East coach acts pyscho on the sideline yelling and grabbing players, the Jeff coach goes crazy and red faced, the Greenville coach cries up and down the sideline and baseline and was also threw out of a game, the West coach throws his hands up and cries when things dont go his way and throws his blazer on the floor and nobody cries more than the girls coach at Cherokee. Did not see Cockes coach enough to see what he cries about but did see him lead a cheer of defense during the middle of a game. Back to the boys, still no word on the Jeff boys yet. Still think Coach Scot deserves another shot interm or not.

________________________________________________________________________________ _______________ The rumor mill has started! Always fun to hear the speculations. And it has begun around the league. I have heard rumors about the Jefferson County coaches. It is going around that Sinard wants back in. Will they give it to him(again) and Scot be his assistant again? Would Scot accept that role? The parents were on him pretty hard. Who knows, the next few weeks will tell. The girls program had a decent year. Seems to be some excitement with the girls. New uniforms, new lockerooms. Coach Lewis is young just like Coach Scot. Give them a chance. The boys program has always been in the dumps and the girls program has been the last few years. Coach Lewis inherited a program on the decline from what I remember. Potts glory days were over. And what would be the reasoning of bringing Sinard back anyways? Coach Scot did just as much as the boys have done the last several seasons, so why be so hard on him?

Well, good. At least she won't have to miss any tournament games.

3 IMAC coaches tossed in one season. 2 in the last 2 weeks now. What two games will Crumbley have to sit out? It seems our conference officials may not be so bad after all.

Coach Lewis received 3 t's in about 15 seconds from 2 different officials. IMO, the refs went a little crazy a whole lot more than what lewis did. A ref should walk away after giving one, not stand there and bait the coach for a second. His partner then runs in frm nowhere and gives lewis the 3rd. The girls actually took it to heart I believe and played extremely hard(diving on the floor after loose balls and everything). Coach can get fired up, but this was one time the referees went overboard.

Well raiderray, this is one parent who has to disagree with you on this one. Coach plays Nelson, Miller, Lyke, Huff, Whiteside, Mcwilliams, Kyle and Batey. When i do the math that is 8. Trentham comes in briefly to make the 9th. This team is not a great team to begin with and they have things to work on, but the majority (8 of those 9) play pretty dang hard. They avg more than 2 minutes per time on the floor. I do feel like Nelson could give more of an effort a lot of the time and i have saw him get on her at times about it. Also there has been improvement along the way this year. You mentioned last years players, if Cherokee had this person they would have won. Well big deal, If Jeff Co. had players from the past they would have won bigger. These girls have beaten the Chiefs twice now and East twice in the district without players from last year. False hope? What in the world does that mean? Anyways, keep working hard Lady Patriots and best of luck this week.

Wanted to say congrats to JC on their win friday night against Cherokee 53 - 33. The lady pats have won 4 in a row. they travel to sevier county tonight for their first of three games this week. couple of questions: anyone know the make up date with south doyle? and did anyone go to the game friday night at jc? saw the box score where ryans was held to just 6 points

12 deep? that is stretching it to the extreme. I haven't seen one team that is 12 deep. if jc was that deep they would be undefeated and be in state tournament talks, that is not the case. and as far as playing certain players more, from what i have been told a couple of them could be working a little harder in practice. so lets not assume we know it all. Unfortunately i didn't get to go to the game tuesday, but read that jc was out rebounded by 20 or more. so how can you say they should have won with that kind of stat. and cc shot 50 free throws to jc's 20. each game i have watched huff has played nearly the whole game btw. jc has NO post play. so again how can they be expected to be a great/real good team? just some thoughts. would like to see some more thoughts on this team and cherokee

jefferson county beat cherokee 61-49 when will the west-greeneville game be made up?

jefferson beat south doyle last night 45-22.. they looked very short handed last night with 4 or 5 players on the bench in street clothes and lost #22 during the game after taking an elbow to the head. nelson & miller were both out last night. kyle was actually having to play point last night after 22 went out of the game.

jefferson didn't really shoot the lights out themselves, but they won. the girl from sevier that shoots it from everywhere only had 3 points i believe. whats the update on miller? way to go lady pats!

jefferson county beat gatlinburg pittman tonight 66-52...jeff county boys lost 53-44... don't know many details.

Jefferson beat Halls last night

miller was the other, whiteside is one of the seniors bekah mull was the other junior that started and not mcwilliams, but mcwilliams came in early and produced

huff had a solid performance last night with 8 points. had the lockdown on slay last night and probably led both teams in rebounding. the 3 sophs were in the starting rotation last night with 2 juniors!

jeff county also had a post, Madison McWilliams who played well last night. she had 15 or 16 points. the point guard nelson did have a good game most of the time. unfortunately, the team may have lost a player for a while, lacy miller went down early and i saw her leave on crutches. hope she gets back soon. any word on why lyke didn't play last night? the girls played pretty hard last night overall. nice to watch a team that puts forth a hard effort, win or lose.

endguard you must have a thing against jeff co. always putting them down..cheer up charlie.... and what was the deal senior night over there, all of that sappiness, personally poor taste of class with the way that whole presentation thing went..just telling you what was going through the stands..jeff co has had a rough year no doubt. actually they have had a rough three years now haven't they? there has been about three girls on that team that have consistently shown that they don't want to be there? so why bring the whole team down..the coaching staff will be fine there. don't believe anyone expected miracles this season...

saw where east played sevier county a close one last night...anyone see the game? also another nondistrict game last night between jefferson county and south doyle. not sure of the final but the lady patriots won by about 20. i was able to catch that game...saw where coach lewis benched his starters for a while. seemed to work, the girls off of the bench came in and performed better than the starters. the younger girls are starting to play better, whereas some of the upper classmen seem to be slipping (including a junior w/o mentioning any names), with the exception of potts, she seems to always play hard. any thoughts out there?

havent seen much conversation going on about friday's games. anyone able to give their analysis of the games you attended? things are starting to get interesting again with the standings

to respond to Eyes From Above, this group of seniors are working on 3 losing seasons in a row. unfortunately the lady pats had their second losing season in a row last year. it may not get much better this season due to the schedule in front of them. they play sevier co tonight who has only lost one game. briarcrest in the first round of that christmas tournament wasn't able to make the game tonight but i did talk to someone that went and the girls did have a 14 point lead at the half. to my understanding the lack of rebounding in the second half was a big problem. these girls don't seem to play well together most of the time. there are 3 or 4 "me" players on this group. the only consistent scoring production they are getting is from nelson. none of the seniors have stepped it up yet. endguard mentioned 5 in, 5 out--- what do you all think of that kind of rotation?

I agree. if you watched that game last night you would have seen how winded some of those girls looked only 2 minutes deep in the game. I don't necessarily like the idea of jeff co and their coaches playing 10 players either but look what they have. the upperclassmen can't get up and down the floor without being wore out and they have inexperienced freshman on the bench. so they almost have to substitute a lot. i am afraid this year is going to be rough for them a lot of the time. what do you all think? probably won't get to make the game to night but Go Lady Patriots!

greeneville big, the lady red win and easts size wins their battle

apparently we can all coach from the sidelines huh? an assistant coach has a lot to do with it after you saying they are a middle school coach (your words endguard). anyone would know that it is a hotter seat, have you been there before? maybe you can give us a little more insight to why there is a new coach to begin with? if i heard correctly the change was made a WEEK before the season.
