Having seen Clarkrange play multiple times, and having seen Cookeville play I will say I am quite surprised by the win. CR has a couple of kids who play well, and they do have some size, but Cookeville's overall talent level and Coaching is IMHO far better.. It would definitely qualify as a big upset. It should be interesting to see what Coach Bray's squad does when the Range goes down there to visit on Feb 10th.

I'm afraid they will eat us alive... We needed a big win though and this was a good one..

wow, win of the century! i watched clarkrange play several times in the sonic shootout and to be quite honest they wer awful and i don't mean any disrespect. they wer losing game after game by 30 points so for them to beat cookeville well that's awesom.

Yes sometimes we can play awesome, and at times I get to wondering where they are even at, we have a problem most of the time finishing a game.. Tonight was one real game to see, I had it a blow out before it even started..

Was this at Clarkrange?

Yes at Crange..

Wow great job CR. Coach Pile is doing a great job with those boys this year. What was the final score?

I can't remember for sure I know it was a 5 point win.. For some reason the game has completely disappeared from the schedule one here..

Clarkrange boys tops Cookeville boys in a big match up Saturday night, way to go guys well played game!

 

I haven't seen either play.

Looking at the stats, both teams should make some noise in their district.6AAA

I have seen both play CCHS is by far the better team, Coach Miller is going to stir things up this season!!!

Big night for Coach Miller and the Lady Jets, 5 point win over her former Coach Larmar Rogers and the Lady Buffs. Huge night for Gina Dick and Kenzie Iles, and the rest of the Lady Jets! They played their guts out tonight. Both teams played incredibly well.

 

It was an interesting contrast in styles. CCHS was able to use their depth to help handle the CR size, and they kept the pressure up the entire game. Guarantee that both teams sleep hard tonight, I am exhausted from just watching it. IMHO the best player on the floor tonight tonight was Gina Dick, but I think CRs best player tonight was the big freshman #41. She is a handful, and will end up being a great player.

 

The biggest weakness for CR was their point guard. CCHS was able to rattle her with their speed and length. To a lesser extent they were able to bother the wings. Over all it still took all that and a great shooting night to beat them. Awesome win for a young team!

Was a great game, the 3 pointers killed us but I think we over come them, what really got us was the turnovers in the last minute of the game. We had more than one chance to win! Just couldn't finish. I would say everyone got there moneys worth tonight.. Congrats goes out to the  lady jets tonight for a big win!!

Thanks for the info Bob. I knew it was something like that and i don't see anything changing this year but with all the new "additions" Clarkrange has this year i do believe the games will be closer.

Just a little history 1977-2013 Wins vs Losses 31 wins 26 losses... Just wanted to share!!!

It's pretty much the whole Upper Cumberland, everyone just wants to bad mouth someone. You know the saying if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all. This should be about the young ladies who walks out on that floor every game and plays there heart out, but instead the adults wants to make it about them. CoachT should start blocking people who get on here and starts fussing back and forth.. No need for all the rubbish!!

Middle aged people on here acting like 5 years olds, wow!!!

Big win tonight for the young ladies, looked very impressive against a tough Hamilton Heights team from Chattanooga. Well played team ball, a few bad decisions made but over all  I think if everyone stays healthy its going to be a awesome season!! Way to go ladies!!

Way to go ladies!! 23 minutes of raw power in the face defense tonight against a talented Stone Memorial team. 54 points at the half, I would call that getting it done early. Not sure the top 6 could play any better than they did tonight. Good job to the bench coming in and playing the end of the 3rd quarter and the whole 4th quarter!!!! All I can say is AWESOME

york  had the best middle school girls team i have ever seen last year. somehow i knew lamar would get some of those girls. anyway, i was right.

Well if you going to play ball you might as well play with the best.

I guess with all the new "additions" ( i won't say recruits because that would just be bad taste on my part ) moving in, there is probably standing room only for "open gym" up there in Clarkrange these days....

I wouldn't know, but i'm sure probably as much as JC

 Going to be bad on the people of Fentress county, but if it happens they will find some way to fund both school . I'm sure that's already under the table just waiting to be played out.. but I don't think the 2 will merge.. I guess we will see.

The way I understand it, At some point York Institute will no longer be a State supported school.

The onus will be on the people of Fentress Co. to fund that school. How they do that is up to them. Watch the news media for more info.

When exactly did you witness this greatness? My guess is you"re just blowing smoke about watching them. CR will be a very good team and the matchups this year with Jackson County will be worth the price of admission! I see them splitting the regular season and then Jackson County winning in the district and region and state championship games. You have the NUMBER 9 correct but it will be JACKSON COUNTY getting NUMBER 9 NOT Clarkrange.

Isn't open gym  going on right now, and yes it will be an exciting season...  just wish it was here already..

some people just thrive off drama, they need to get a life...

Good luck ladies play your game that you know you can play and bring home gold ball #9!!

Have to give it to Clarkrange, there is no quit in that bunch. Thought I was gonna have to walk outside I got so nervous at the end. Hope we play one more time. Is always a heck of a game.

Yeah don't think i could have set through another period.. crange starts out playing pretty bad in the first half and have been doing this for several games now, if crange could put 4 quarters together like they played the 4th tonight it might get dangerous..and yes i really hope round 5 become reality, the only thing is i may not have any fingers left cause the nails are already gone.. LOL

Yes, she will play somewhere next year, just not decided yet. She wants to wait till after the season. She does have some offers on the table.

Thats awesome!!! If i was a gambler i would bet Coach Brown was glad that was the 4th quarter, when Crange started coming back, i know i would have been..

Good to see a big post that doesn't foul too much...

True that most tall players playing post that are defending a shorter post usually gets a lot of fouls, but there is a few that doesn't.

No, do not know the answer. She has fouled out before, but she normally does a good job of avoiding contact. She really gets a lot of flack from the opposing fans, and it's not fair. She is a sweet 17 year old girl that plays her heart out for her team.

I will amen that one she will be missed after this season. I hope her team mates and coaching staff gives her praise for the job she does, in all reality she is the reason they win a lot of there games. does she plan on maybe college ball any place?

What exactly are you trying to say about Makenzie here? I would really like to know?

Just what the question says, of all the games i've seen i have never known of her fouling out. i was really shocked when she fouled out. Not everything is negative, but you always take it that way. So do you know the answer?

This is just my opinion and everyone knows what they say about opinions, but i'm gonna say it anyway knowing a few are gonna come back biting. Tonight the better team didn't win the team that won was the team with the most points, disagree if you want to i'm not going to lose any sleep over it. The better team lost tonight and the reason i say this is, when you are down by 21 points late in the 3rd period and you come back in the 4th period and only lose by 6 thats proving something. Hopefully there will be one more round of excting basketball. Now this is a question for anyone who might know the answer. During Hensly's 4 years of playing high school ball how many time have the officials fouled her out?
