Central up 27-13 late in the 3rd Qtr.

I think I heard somewhere that Macon County isn't losing anyone. If that's the case, they will be very tough to beat. I also think that Central will re-load once again. It seems that no matter who they lose from year to year, they are always contenders. That just speaks to how great Coach Morgan is. Central is 132-8 over the past four years. So, I'm inclined to believe that Coach Morgan will find a way back to the 'boro next year.

Was it any more classless than the Macon Co. fans booing the McMinn Central girls when they took the court? Just asking.

Thank you for this post. You are not the first person to have these sentiments about the Charger faithful. I remember a couple of years ago, a group of Upperman fans came to see McMinn Central play in the state (we had just beaten them in the sub-state game). They said that the hospitality that they received when they travelled to McMinn Central for the game was beyond their expectations. They sat in our section at the state tourney and cheered on the Chargerettes. I've also noticed that the Upperman and McMinn Central fans have an excellent rapport on the message boards, too. I believe that it is due to mutual respect, humility and respect for the game.

I think I may have a solution to the less-than-stellar officiating that always seems to plague the state tournament. I propose that Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama (or any other combination of states)swap officials for the tournaments in such a manner that no two states' referees officiate each other's games. For example: Tennessee's refs officiate Alabama's games, Alabama's refs officiate Georgia's games and Georgia's refs officiate Tennessee's games. Something has to be done about the officiating. I've seen it year after year and in games where I was completely impartial. I was at the 'boro a couple of years ago watching a single-A game (my team is double-A) So, I had no dog in the race. I was disgusted at how one team (from upper east TN) got completely ripped-off. There are so many examples. I'm sure you all have many more to add.

I was really hoping that I could get on here and say that we saw a great game between two great teams. Unfortunately, the referees absolutely ruined the game for both teams. It was horrible and maddening to watch. When any one team has four starters on the bench in the third quarter due to foul trouble, something is severely wrong. We did not get to see the true match-up that we all hoped for. It seems that the officiating is horrible every state tournament.

Fixed it for ya! We're pretty particular about that given that McMinn County is one of our biggest rivals.

McMinn Central Chargerettes win 66-41! Off to the 'Boro!

Masengil went over 1,000 points for the season tonight. Not bad for a sophomore.

I think someone forgot to tell Adams and Masingil.

Chargerettes by 30 at the end of 3.

McMinn Central up 36-15 at the half.

Wait, the TSSAA website has McMinn Central winning 10-7 and playing Smith Co. in the next round. So, which is it? I sure hope the TSSAA doesn't update their website with info from another website that whose scoreboard information comes from the fans on not officials.

Way to go Big Blue!!! Now, keep up the intensity
