Little birdie tells me that Gary Rankin is next Lebanon coach...just saying

Riverdale wins in a runaway. This will be a boring AAA tournament. Clarksville will be only bump in road for Riverdale. Wilson Central is a joke, Memphis teams a joke and Science Hill? Blackman....no way.

Mt. Juliet coach Fryer beats up on poorly coached teams through out the year but come tournament time he folds like a cheap tent. Bud Brandon will adjust his defense or adjust to the situation. Fryer he is so predictable he will not adjust to what is thrown at his team. Running the table in district means nothing. Give me victories when it counts...in tournaments. His girls came out against Central on Monday not ready to play thinking and playing as though they could walk thru this game. Even after halftime same old thing...nothing no adjustments. Give me 5 losses in the regular season but give me Region wins. Fryer is not a big game coach.

My prediction is Mount Juliet will beat Riverdale by 10 points. MJ lost at home after leading by 18 at halftime. They then reeled of 25 straight wins by totally shutting down District-9. They are playing as well as I've ever seen them and I saw every game this yr. To go to Clarksville and beat them after they destroyed Station Camp scoring 93 points and shutting them down to only 38 pts in there house Britt Bell is all over the court, Caya Williams is a monster down low and those guards can knock down some threes. I look for a re-match in the finals with MJ and Clarksville.

What a great defensive job those girls did on Clarksville. Britt Bell has really been playing out of her mind. Caya Williams is unbelievable and unstoppable. Chelsea Brown is the unsung star for her defense. Helen Mitchner and Emily Gurchiek...great job doing the dirty work. I smell Gold Ball #4

Well its over for the defending Class AAA State Champion Wilson Central Lady Wildcats 51-49. LaVergne held on to the very end to win. Wow what a game it was.

the girls coach got teed up as the teams were shaking hands and the MJ coach said something to the official and he teed him. the coach continued off the court and stayed to watch the boys play afterwards from court side. he was also in the stands the next night to again watch the boys game. i believe the school will get fined and he gets a hand slap.

Wow one senior huh...I saw them at Hendersonville and they do wrestle good as a team. Several kids have great wrestling skill...that Bates kid looked good. I heard his name mentioned while I was there. When is the Chattanooga event? So winning the Region Duals sends them to Chattanooga for the State? Is there a wrestling website anywhere? I have really got into this sport....very exciting.

Anyone have any info on the MJHS Bear Wrestling team? I heard they won the Region Duels at Hendersonville. If that is true what next. Who are the best wrestlers...are they a senior based team?

And the District 9 tournaments plus the Regionals are held this year at LaVergne...look out for upsets. Bears need better scoring from guards and improve free throw shooting or could be short trip come tournament time.

Well in my observation of the game I thought Jasmine looked out of shape. I know she suffered with a stomach virus all week but still. Her experience helped her but the freshman Williams played outstanding to the future 2-Time Miss Basketball. Christopher hitting those 4 three's was the difference in the game. MJ's Chelsea Brown was a bust on offense going 0-7 in shooting. Carissa Peterson also needed to make shots and did not 3-10FG. As Pat Summitt teaches...rebounding cost the Lady Bears. Both Hassell's, Kelsie McGee and Lauren Wasson dominated the boards. First half the Lady Wildcats had a 15-5 rebounding advantage. MJ will win on there court but then in the Districts that is when things will tell. Good game to watch and a good test for MJ's youth and that my friends will go along ways come March 09.

Mailman...its just too early to get into it. The first meeting means something, just not like the second one or the tournaments. MJ is going to need sophomore Emily Gurchiek who is out with a broken hand later in the year. I predict Central will win at home but like I said wait till the re-match when it gets down an dirty. GO BEARS!!!

Glad to hear she is good. Jessy is a good girl, a good player and a good teammate. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

I really hate to ask and not trying to spread rumors but I just heard that maybe Jessy Christopher, the point guard at Wilson Central hurt her knee again? I know last year in the District 9 tournament she hurt it. Just asking.... /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Wilson Central is waiting for Jasmine Hassell to get back 100% from her sore back. Central really dodged a bullet with the postponment. Seems the Brandon's are working the system again. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
