Like I told longhorn07 in another thread just because you beat grainger don't think union is gonna be easy. Looks like that sense of entitlement crept its way in though. Oh well hopefully union takes out unicioi tomorrow night.

SWEET!!! Ill be there, should be a good one. Anyone else going?

Well like we tried to tell people on here there not that good away from their gym without their referees. Not taking anything away from them cause they do play solid hard nosed fundamental ball but we all knew that grainger and union were just better teams. Grainger however was not better Saturday night. Is the Union-Unicoi game at chuckey doak Thursday night?

I have no idea, I live closer to Johnson county than grainger and I haven't gotten to attend many game this year. I just go by what I'm told which is Union has more players and is a better overall team. Skylar was our equalizer by dropping 30 a night. The smith kid from union is supposed to be a great player but once again that's just what i hear.

1-3-1 yeah right, Sky was shadowed at least half the game. However when you were in your zone it gave us fits. Thats where having our players sick hurt us cause we just didnt know what to do with the ball.

You do play great team ball but I think union has more overall talent than either of us. Hopefully your kids dont catch the flu soon though. Two more of ours came down with it today. Im just hoping I dont get it /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

lol then every school in east Tennessee lacks class. "Warm up the bus", "Scoreboard", "Hey hey hey.....goodbye". All those chants and cheers are done in every gym at the end of the game. Unless I misunderstood your tone and it was something vulgar then this is just par for the course.

Disagree, last year in the regional playoffs skylar kept us in the fulton game by himself. Put him with some of the johnson county post players and a healthy grainger team and I dont think either AE or fulton want any. But thats a moot point now isn't it?

completely agree with the scenario. I dont get coaches nagging the whole game. It's more than likely not gonna work. lol

No offense intended but I think longhorn07 actually sums up what I saw last night. I can handle being loud and rough and creating a home court advantage but dang. Idk who atwood is but if its the coach who came onto the court after the technical then id say he goes in with them too. Sure it was a blown call, if anything it should have been a double T. But we got calls like that all night and you didnt see any of our coaches on the court with the players BEGGING AND PLEADING with a referee. All our discussions occurred during timeouts. Was it a good game? absolutely. Did people get a little carried away with it? yes. Am I bitter about it? nope, we just didnt do what we had to do to win. Like i posted earlier in another thread last nights crowd does not reflect on the county or the school for me. People just got a little too excited last night. I know people are better than what they showed last night.

I understand the distance thing but those perceptions are made by a few quick things. Home team, coaches, players, A ref can get any one thing he doesnt like about a team and have a negative view of it. Im not saying all refs are impartial but you yourself will have to admit you have seen a referee blatantly make a call for one team when everyone in the gym knows its the wrong call.

Was that game yesterday? Idk the answer to your question though. They have their biases and they act upon them. Some more extreme than others.

I think union has better overall talent than grainger. i haven't seen either team play all that much this year though. Just going on what i hear.

not saying he did or didnt put him in a leg lock but the way the officiating was last night against us I would have put the kid in an ANKLE LOCK for good measure. Might as well get your moneys worth eh? /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> Before anybody freaks out......Im joking

Mark me as going if they make it, Is it a realistic chance though? Can they win the region?

Oh well, just a shot in the dark lol. I went through hampton last night to get to JC, Love how the town is real bulldog oriented. Makes me think the high school is a big deal in town. Any chance they get to play another home game? Id like to check one out.

I agree, I mean I'm a grainger fan and graduated from the high school but dang that's one of the toughest and loudest gyms I ever been in. Not saying its tops because there are plenty of passionate fans around ET. I enjoyed the visit last night. I just hope the stuff about sportsmanship was a one time occurrence last night. I know those people are better than that.

Its ok, like I said I have a feeling you wont be hearing from ole longhorn 07 too much after Tuesday night. Somebody might wanna get a contact number for him though, he takes his longhorn basketball kinda seriously. The kid might be on suicide watch....... just sayin

Vader I have to admit I laughed when he did that. That place was LOUD at the time though. If I was shooting I would probably have tried to compensate for my nerves and thrown it completely over the backboard /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Sorry to rehash but I just read back over this and noticed it. You call Skylar terrible and not D1 material yet it takes 3 longhorns to defend him? Please explain that one to me. /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

just observing but he did note the JOHNSON COUNTY losses first.....

Nobody here making excuses, we didnt play well enough to win the game and you did. It is what it is. Im not saying that had the refs called it even last night we would have won ( I often wondered during the game if some of our players could even pass me the ball and I was in the stands unguarded!.) However I wouldn't jump on my high horse too quick and tote the ole johnson county horn. Union is a fine team and we needed a little luck to beat them as most teams do. Don't let overconfidence get you blown out of chuckey doak on tuesday.

Watching Hump sit over there last night knowing there was nothing he could do was a hard thing to watch. I admire his heart and grit though for trying to play through it when the boy could barely even stand. Congrats to all the Grizzlies though on a great season. Its a shame it had to end that way though.

Seven I got a pretty good feeling we wont be hearing you around these parts much after tuesday night. Your team barely beat our subs because we all had the flu. And you seriously think the refs had our back? WOW! First half Ill give props to the horns, they outplayed us in every aspect of the game. Second half you all got dominated and the refs held us at bay. Skylar and the guys are fine with it, I talked to a couple after the game and told em there was nothing they could have done. The refs handled their business and it is what it is. Put Hump and farmer in healthy though and there is no way even the refs could have held us off. Like I said once though congrats on the win and good luck on tuesday...... your probably gonna need it. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

i think it needs one. The Grainger-Johnson County game tonight would have been an exciting one had Johnson county not held the ball for 3 minutes a posession. It was still a good one though
