I take it Henry County is LOOOOAAAAADDDDDED again (apologies to Ron White).

There are allegations of recruiting from one public school to another and there is a simple way to stop it all. . . you go to the school that serves the area where you live. No jumping boundaries. Period. End of statement. Everybody got all upset because the private schools can recruit and there is some recruiting going on in a few spots in the state. (Reference the kid who has played at at least three schools in metro Memphis). But it's real easy to end! If you don't like the school that serves the area in which you reside, move and actually establish residence there.

CBHS's secondary seemed to be an Achilles' heel during the Melrose game. Has anything been done to shore it up? I'm not in Memphis anymore and didn't see anything but the result of the Germantown-CBHS game.

There are not a lot of big track programs in rural areas of the state, therefore they don't have the tracks around their fields. A few programs do have moderately successful track programs in the rural areas of West Tennessee. Dyersburg comes to mind. Dyer County also has a nice track around the football field in their stadium, which is about 5 years old????? Anyway, most of the big time track programs in Tennessee now tend to be in the big metro areas.

Too much a good thing can be problematic logistically. Hotel rooms are in short supply during Spring Fling. With two conference tournaments in the vicinity, it might be a real challenge for those of us from the farther reaches of the state from Murfreesboro to find accommodations.

Have seen some recently in baseball equipment catalogs and J Macs Sporting Goods in Metro St. Louis. Maybe in Sports Authority stores. Not sure.

As another posted said Oakley are top flite. Any sunglasses worn on the field must have a stamp or seal that shows they are shatter resistant or the umpire can/should have the glasses removed. Most of the cheap sunglasses do not meet the standard.

They had spring practice and have no idea how it went. Only thing I know is the football team was missing several players who were still playing baseball because of long post-season run.

Just getting to state isn't enough anymore . . . gotta get to work.

ADSMOM since you called me out on here I will let you know that I extended my congratulations to dc in person at mtsu's stadium and texted a few personal congrats since then.

Man I'd love to see those games! Whew. Somebody please update with scores Friday night for those of us who have other games to attend.

You are correct. Hey for that matter the kids know who can play.

I'd sure like to see one more Trojan-Choctaw battle this season . . . because somebody around here would be toting home a state title. But there is a lot of work for both teams to do before we can even think about that. First things first. Talent + Execution = Success!!!!!

This young man is in our prayers and I'm an encouraged by the response from the young men at Wartburg. Some parents did something right!
