SWEETWATER

Good Luck To LA  And Cannon Co. !

Looks like Rigsby is the one with someone in his head. Complained the whole 1st half and got the T

The only thing in Rigsby's Head I am sure is one game @ a time and that was He and his boy's beating LA for a Third Time which they did. Not taking anything away from LA they were out Coached and out Played. 

Tourney time is HOGEYE time! Lets see if CC is for real or will the big game pressure get to them? I got LA by 12.

Cannon County is for Real. They have already handed LA their hat twice this season. You just won't accept it.!!! 

 The only Difference between this and the Blacksox Scandal in 1919 is the Money. Both Coaches Should be banned for Life !

Come on Signal Mt. and Play Ball. Both Schools are Closed Snow Wednesday Nite. Should be a no Brainer For The Director Of Schools!!!

I said some of the players. I wasn't! referring to 1st team selections.I just pointed out the stats don't back up a defensive selection and a 3rd team selection. Frankly, LA had more production from the bench. In those selections listed. That is all stats. So, unwad your panties and be easy on the stupid. It's a valid point. Keep the stats public like the rest of 8aa and that keeps things honest if you truly reward for production.

Selections are mute @ this point. What Good HS Basketball Coach is going to offer such sats. Let opposing Teams research on their on.   More than stats to seletions! All of 8AA are NOT public were ever you heard that.  Congratulations To Cannon County Lions for Placing #10 in the AP Poll. Shine on 8AA and make us Proud !!!     

I belive it was 2 years ago CC and Coach Rigsby lost 8 . 5 were starters and watching him since then He and his Staff worked even harder. For Some reason the Harder Coach Rigsby pushed them the harder they played. That Is unusual for A home town Boy.

CC definetly has a good press & great atmosphere. LA has way more depth than york so dont see fatigue being an issue. This will be a great one! Thanks for the respect & likewise the CC program has earned everyone's respect including mine.

Thank you ! LA just did not have a good nite. Still a class act team and program. 

Cough, cough....

 

So does that start now or after the season is over?

BYE !

Cough, cough....

 

So does that start now or after the season is over?

Oldkoger I have the upmost respect for LA and their program. Being @ home and with the Defence They have been playing size does not matter. Still say 4-6 CC. They ran York till they were out by the first quater. It's been a long year Cream is a riding to the top

That is my prediction & in no way reflects the opinion of the team. I am sure they are focused on tuesday night! Besides, what about your buddy predicting CC going to the glass house? (huh one game at a time) Dont see ya calling him out. So dont come at me with that crap just because you dont like the outcome I predict.

No need breaking Red. If he is my buddy that is his prediction not mine who ever he is. If they have the same mind set as you looking that far ahead good luck to LA. That was not what I was taught. 

Livingston is playing their best ball right now. My prediction is they will play CC 3 more times and win all three. But really the only game that will matter is the 3rd one. I only see one team from region 4 making it to Murfreesboro and that will be the team hosting sub state. Too tough to win in Chattanooga. CC hit their stride earlier in the season than LA due to football. So I think the LA team has had more room for improvement. We shall find out soon enough! I would like to skip the Superbowl and get on with it now!

What ever happened to one game @ time. Can't live in the past or the future. Bring on the next one

Livingston is tough but I'll definitely stick with cannon and to make it to the glass house.

LA is going to be very tough but I think being @ Home Cannon by 4 or 6. That's as close as I can get.    

Cannon County  or  Livingston ? 

I have said all season that the grabbing and holding has been ridiculous. Win or lose it's really an issue and I am sure Eldridge and LA would agree.

 

By no means was it the reason LA or CC laid the wood to us. They both dominated in every facet of the game in both those losses.

 

Would just like to see it cleaned up. HS ball should not be a knock-off of the Pistons in the late 80s and early 90s.

Agree But they will not call both ways every day every game. I guess they do the best they know how.   

Blevins did not play deep @ York Like he did @ Cannon. Stayed mostly on top of the key and wore them with 3's or shorter.

I will have to disagree.  Calls are blown all of the time, every game, every day.  Intentionally trying to bring harm to another player just because you do not get your way is the mentality of small children.  Bad refs are just part of it.  Players have to learn to play past it and coaches have to coach around it.

I agree with part of your statement but 8AA is a little different concerning the adminstrator of officals. I don't think there is another situation like this in the state. No improvement over the years is all i am saying. This District does good in playing around this type of situation.   

tnhoosier - Don't feel like YI is being mistreated in any way. All players in this District are Players that have one thing in mind making it to the State. Last nights game was very ugly with plenty of blame to go around especially officating that has been less than consistent and getting worse each year. All District Teams are geeting these calls. The sad thing is i don't see it getting any better. 

i wiil not use caps since it's upsets you. i was not @ pickett co. last year but i was in woodbury last nite. blevins was gone after the first quater hold his knees running with his mouth open. its hard to play tired. you make mistakes and don't make good decisions. when he threw his little fit (bad decision). you and blevins need to put yall's big pants on suck it up and don't fell like yall were mistreated.  your lucky coach rigsby called the dogs off in the 4th. i would not have but he did ( good decision). i hope you understand the difference. i doubt it 

You Just Answered Your Statement !  Why Does The Officals Let (2 Defenders) Physical Holding, Grabbing, and Shoving? I Seen A Fist And Prior To The Incident The Statement was Made To Foul And Foul Hard. That Is Reason YI Is Not In Post Season Nor Should They Be. Funny Thing No Body Else Has To Play A Ballgame In That Manner!  

Cannon County Has Played Against 8 Many Nites. Last Nite was A Great Game For Cannon County. If Blevins was upset because of No Post Season Play Funny Way Of Showing It. Balling Your Fist Up and Taking A Swing No Way To Handle Flustration. BB Players are A Representation Of The Coaching Staff. It Seems  Cannon County Does Not Have That Problem. I Say Tack Another 2 Years On.

DC  WE ARE CLOSE BUT I THINK UCH WILL NOT HAVE A GOOD NITE EVEN THEY ARE A VERY GOOD TEAM. MUSH IMPROVED BUT TO LATE.  

CANNON OVER YORK 16 -  MACON OVER DC 8 - LA OVER SMITH 16 - UHS OVER CENTRAL 4 

DC is doing whats best for DC. The banter re: DC playing Boyd has run its course. DC's coaching staff and boys are fighting valiantly for the W. Despite the sweat on their brow, after 25+ games they cant even get a pep rally. signs are literally yanked from the student section. yet the Football team has a fire truck sitting at the end zone. A spade is a spade. The hardworking boys and coaches of DC deserve better support than they're getting. Props to CC, LA and the others for where their programs are at. As a pure BB fan its awesome to go to your schools and see the passion, intensity and support for your programs. To go to CC (a shade over 20 miles away) and not be able to find a seat speaks volumes. One school / administration is committed to supporting all the interest and ambitions of their student body / community.DC will fight and claw its way to the end. W or L, it wont be because of a lack of effort. Props to the winning programs, coaches and players but make no mistake and you know this better than an outsider, your success isn't the result of just one class of players. reference the banners that hang from your rafters. if a few extra games against boyd helps feed the coffers, compensate for a lack of genuine support and give the boys a chance to develop then so be it. you guys go fight giants outside your county, we're fighting a giant of our own, sadly ours is right down the hall from where the boys and coaches ply their trade. #eightaa

Well Said !  People you should read this post three times and think what they are writing and get off top players and were Regions Start and end. Teams have good seasons teams have down seasons yes even CC, LA, DC, MC, YI, MTC, UHS.  Come on and think.

officiating was way less than perfect not only @ LA but all season long with all District teams. I get tired of watching their egos get in the way of a fair and balanced game being called on all teams. MM gets the big boys game but its the same old story. They seem not to even try to get better.
