Here is a link to an updated bracket w/scores: http://www.t-g.com/bracket/1244/

In case anyone wants to read anymore about this game, here is a link: http://www.t-g.com/story/1680290.html FYI, before the last contracts were signed, the two coaches discussed playing during the season but it didn't work out. District schedules take precedence always and sometimes it's tough to find a week for non-district games to work out.

Don't look for that series to continue with the next two-year contracts with the TSSAA changing its rules to the top priority to making the playoffs now being overall wins. Cascade's non-district opponents "on paper" for 2011-12 are: Jo Byrns, Mt. Pleasant, Cannon County and Wayne County.

If anyone wants to read about football instead of bickering between fan bases, here's a link to a preview of the game. Thanks. Good luck to both teams. http://www.t-g.com/story/1679945.html

Hey guys, I never get on the boards anymore. This is about the only thread that really interested me each season because I really do enjoy this rivalry as much as anyone. A buddy of mine told me that my name came up on here and should check it out. Just wanted to say thanks for all the kind words, sincerely. You all are too kind. I'm looking forward to some quality football on Friday night. See you guys there. JB fans, Lord willing, I'll be the fella on the sidelines with what Cascade fans call my "telescope." Ya'll be good and be careful. Danny Parker

The online bracket above has been updated with all of tonight's scores.

It is among the most balanced fields I've ever seen for a district tournament. We could see anything. Here is the 9-A tournament bracket: http://www.t-g.com/bracket/1066/

I may be dodging players and having to chart/shoot at the same time but at least I get paid to see a game from the sideline. Can't go wrong there brother. Yeah, coach and I had a good enough conversation the other night to where I could do another article on the biggest game in our county this century. Here's the link: http://www.t-g.com/story/1480097.html

Hey, I've seen that picture somewhere before, HA! It'd been 19 minutes since anyone had posted on here. You folks are a bunch of slackers. It's game day. Get with it already. It's obvious none of you actually work for a living...J/K!

OK, kiddies. Here is the latest story on Friday night's game. There may be another in tomorrow. We'll see how the night goes. http://www.t-g.com/story/1479607.html Oh yeah, it would take more than a Sonic gift card. I see now I have to smack a friend of mine upside the head.

Where's my burger and fries Baby Boy? HAHA! Hope this is the right kid. Enjoy. Shoot me an email to parkerphotography@yahoo.com if you got any questions.

Congrats to Cascade on a great win! Played very well and get better every game. On a side note, I just wanna tip my hat to Ethan Tummins for gutting it out and hanging in there despite playing with a bad wing. Even the Cascade fans were begging for him to leave the field after the game got out of hand before he got seriously hurt. That kid is all heart. He's the William Wallace of Region 5.

I would have to guess that the folks from Cascade would differ. They have their own beat writer and photographer, basically. They're actually terribly spoiled compared to most. I hate that for you and your kids, but that's just the way it is. It'll be gone from Cascade before long as newspapers are being fazed out more and more. Folks don't even want to spend $90 on a year's subscription cause they can read most of it online. Well, anyways, good luck to Jo Byrns. Represent Region 5 like we know you can. I wish I could be there because it's sure to be a barn burner. Everybody be safe in their journies. Enjoy the pic from The Dungeon...

If you played against Maryville in 2007, you might remember this guy (I shot it before the UCLA game)...
