Pierce from Community should have been on the list. She was pretty unstoppable all year and won the district player of the year award of the girl from MTCS. Pierce was better than her this year.

What happened with the coach at Summertown? Saw where that job has been posted on the TSSAA site.

What happened to the coach this year. I saw where it has been posted. Is this a good spot or is there something else going on behind the scenes that is hurting the program?

So what is the reason that they let him go after just one year?

When Insell was at Shelbyville, there was plenty of recruiting that went on in that program and it worked out for him pretty well.

In Alabama they have areas, 4-6 teams tops. Host for the area tourney depends on who wins the area regular season. Only 2 from the area tourney advances to the sub state game, area champs host sub state area runner up travels. This is an elimination game. The winners of the sub state games advance to regionals, 4 sites: northwest, northeast, central, and south. From this point every game is an elimination game. The region champ moves on to Birmingham and the Final 4 for each classification in both boys and girls. This is the final 48 teams. They play 1 girls game followed by 1 guys game. 8 games a day for Tues- Thurs. Friday and Saturday are Title days, 6 games each day. In Alabama, this set up brings in more money than football every year! It is enough that the AHSAA can operate off of this tournament set up alone without the Super 6 football title games. The big difference is that you can lose 3 games in TN and still make the state tourney, but in AL every post season game is an elimination game except for the area title game. Makes it tougher and gives it more backbone when someone wins a ring in Alabama.

Well, with the district tourney being complete now, #1 - Community #2 - Forrest #3 - Moore Co. #4 - MTCS Moore Co. gave Community a good game until the last 1:30 in the district semis and beat MTCS last night by 21. They are playing really good right now and may be a tough out moving forward into regionals depending on the match up.

I thought that Dequan Twilley went up to ETSU along with the kid from Coffee Co . didnt he? Is he still up there or if not where is he now?

Is that Matt Miller at Culleoka? Wasnt he the head boys coach at Richland a few years back?

Don't ever count out Coach Pope and the time and work that he puts in to his teams. With those young athletic guys that he has coming back, they may make a run deep into the post-season. I just hope that he can get them passed the first round of the region tourney. Good luck Cascade and Coach Pope!!!!
