I do agree with all the talks concerning the hosts for the tournaments and one reason that has affected the Volunteer turnout is due to the way that it is out of the way for the majority of the schools. Being a member of the student section that was present we had a lot less than we normally did but we still cheered for our team as if we were all there due to the fact that many of us are seniors. However i do think that Central is capable of hosting because it is a bigger school. I am proud of my team this year and I hope they have an excellent run next year with the group of juniors stepping up and making even better plays. Albright, Brown, Roberts and DeVault will be the keys of that great group. Good luck to the other four teams and I hope you all SMOKE the IMAC league. I wish East a lot of luck due to the fact that they are county buddies with us and to TN High since they are the ones that eliminated us.

I guess thats a good thing they will be selling those, be sure to get a hold of them first! and the answer to your question regarding Mickey is yes, so now you may have something to worry about. Good luck tonight!

From watching Greenville on Monday when they came to Central, I say that our top 3, maybe 4 teams could compete with them. They have a fast offense, but not so much size. If you take it down low you should be able to pull out a victory, Central was rushing their offense the opening period and did not get into the groove until after Greenville made a cushion for themselves. Wow, I wish Central or heck, any crowd could get that big judging that picture from hightop. I noticed that picture is of one from Centrals dome and to think that people would have to watch it from the rails, well i thought it was cool when we filled one section up, haha.

I will have to agree with you. They are doing an outstanding job this year. I know the whole student section does not stand and cheer for them, but I do watch their game and clap for them. We have a very talented girls team and I would not trade any of them for another team. I can not, however, speak on behalf of the student section. Standing up for 3 or 3 1/2 hours may be a long time to stand, but i dont see a problem for cheering for them in a close game, such as the one tonight.

Central beat Boone, pretty much secures 5th place and another showdown with Tennessee High. What was the score to the DB/Science Hill Game?

Yes, i know this is not about student sections, but i would love to cheer for DB, and i actually feel sorry for their team knowing that their students sit down the whole time, more than most not even looking up to see if they have the ball or not. I cheer for Central, despite the good and the bad times, but at DB, its more good than bad period. I think DB would probably have a lot more momentum with some of its students getting into the game. However the DB fans are pretty good in general and they are louder than any student section at DB, come to think of it, i really havent heard a DB crowd since the time Central played them at Greenville a couple years ago. Thats sad. Cheer for your team and show some spirit! Good luck to all the games tonight, Central has to try to handle Daniel Boone in order to secure their 5th place spot. East, I am hoping you guys kill(not literally) Volunteer tonight. Also, a great match up between DB and Science Hill tonight! Good luck to both of them teams!

Could not state it any better.

I give props to THS's refs, as being the worse in the big 9. They played a very well game due to the refs helping them every chance they could. And we all know the Big 9 has very poor refs. Central played very well without having starting point guard, Mickey Brown, due to an ankle problem. Also, #42 for Tennessee High is a very rough player and I hope he can control his attitude before he messes with the wrong person and gets knocked down.

I did not say that it did. I was implying that the calls that were made were not of great judgement. That was not the only play, and i was giving just one scenario. Also, even though this is a basketball forum, South helped cheer for us because it was THEIR CHOICE. They happen to be a county school and so what if they help support another school, there isn't anything in the laws against it, so give it a rest. As for the Greeneville Game, I did not take a role in that and left the game shortly after. I would prefer our Region to win over any other region, including region 2. Distict is coming up and I hope we put the best teams to stand a chance against the Knoxville schools, and making it to State.

Central V East was an awesome game, but with VERY poor officating. For example, an East player hits the ball back to the other side of the court and Central gets it back, they decided to call a backcourt ruling. I hate to have games be decided by other factors other than the teams that are playing. East defense was superb and were constantly hustling. And it is funny how East student section copied Central Camo wear last year...real original. Like most of the cheers they use. BOO!

I agree with you, DB's tremendous bench is extremely hard for opposing teams. A defender tries to get use to a player and then they are met with a fresh guy, who plays different than the previous player. That is hard on any team, and I think that Farragut would have a tough time playing this DB team right now. Everyone changes from the beginning of the season, but some change even more and I think DB is one, and I think Central is another team that has seem to figure out where to go and start acting like a team.

Good game to DB, Central hung on till the 3rd, but I give credit to DB's amazing bench. They played every player and its extremely hard to play a team where the kids are never tired. Im not going to blame anybody like most people do, DB flat out, outplayed us. Best of luck in the tourny. Up next, Sullivan East at their place, should be an AWESOME game. I am thinking it will be a close one, with the win coming in the closing minutes to either team, ( but of course I would like Central to be the winning team.) And WaCo, Central did not need any support because everyone knows DB doesn't really have a student section till district and regional.

LOL, first lets focus on Friday nights games. Central-DB I think the outcome will be different than a lot of people's prediction. I would not say an upset is out of the question, but it will be a lot closer than the first go around. DB has a TEAM and are doing really well, but Central's team is starting to click as well.

Actually, I was in the student section, and I can assure you those terms were never used. But dont mind us when you have some guy in the front of your section wearing a bandana around his face and giving the "stink it" sign to our fans, which is why he was told to calm down. And also, we do not go after individual players. Our principal will not allow it, so therefore we do not do it.

And what cuss word do they use? and racist?
