I have an 11 yr old in 6th grade that would really like to continue playing basketball through the summer. Gave up baseball to play basketball. There are no teams in our area. Looking for something in Nashville or north of Nashville. Has played since 2nd grade and is a good point guard. To contact us, call 615-945-7300.

Yes it was ugly for ER indeed. Only the 3rd game I've seen of theirs this year but more of the same. I know their coach has been there for years, but he could learn a great deal by watching the film from tonight. How a well coached team like NCS plays together as a team. Didn't see one screen tonight for ER, not even on inbounds plays. Guys just have to get open on their own. How does any coach at the high school level not have any offense with plays? Not sure where ER got him, but they're getting short-changed for sure. You can easily see he has no sense of how to coach and is lost. No offense to NC, but they don't have anyone special. Just a bunch of guys that hustle and can shoot pretty good at times. Oh and well coached. They're a .500 team and ran them ER of the gym in the 2nd qtr. They work at getting open, something that ER doesn't try to do. Woodard drove the lane taking on 3-4 guys several times. He did make his points at 27, but every one is a close range and the times he drives and gets 2-3 guys on him and doesn't kick it out is killing this team. Should score 40-45 every night as much as he shoots. NCS can easily be right behind CA if they play like that. They don't have the post to play with CA, but if their 3 point shooters are hitting and play like a team, who knows? Wouldn't be terribly shocked if they beat them. Those that attended the game----did the NCS crowd play a big role? The scoring was very lop-sided for ER, just wondering if they focused on one player like usual and tried to get in his head. I would assume they would pick Woodard, but just curious if that may have affected the other players for ER to score. It is hard to have a successful team with that big discrepancy in scoring. If you look at the leader boards, the most successful teams either don't have one player extremely high on that list or they have several on it. The best prospects for post-high school play are the team-oriented players that look good and know how to make their team look good and win. A well-coached player can do both.

Sure, I will elaborate. Whean a team is winning, the coach is brilliant. But when they lose, they are terrible coaches. Just like UT, ER players and fans were ready to run Chatman off the last 2 years and now he is okay again. Not saying that is you, but many fans everywhere are like that. All coaches, good and bad, will win and lose. The district realignment, which was the right thing, has helped dig Chatman out of the hole he was in with his own fans. It's fair weather support, but does happen alot. Seems as though you are only as good as your last win.

Wow! Someone is defensive. They have not been challenged and as the other post says, we will have to see if they can keep their composure in all circumstances. Their biggest problem is their star players in this regard. And I was not bashing Chatman and agree with you that the credit goes to asst. running practice. Odd how different alignment for district changes opinions in that area. Wish both teams luck, and my prediction is FC by 7.

Clarksville Academy will run all over everyone. NC can handle most other teams. Anderson outcoaches most other teams in this district. NC won first round last year by outcoaching ER in last few minutes of game. Houston County could surprise some people. All in all, except for CA, pretty weak district this year.

East Robertson has some decent athletes but are very undisciplined and that can come into play if challenged very much. This team lacks the leadership they need from the top to go very far. Their success is coming from a new assistant coach. It could go either way.
