What excuse will be given for Farragut letting Maryville beat them tonight, can't use "Home Cookin" since game was at Farragut. Go Rebels

Sounds like Mid"night"ghost has a player on the Heritage team... seems they especially promote a particular player frequently on this board, and rarely mention anyone on "their" Catholic team. You're not fooling anyone mid"night"ghost.

Really thought Heritage would have been in the top 2, hoping they turn it around and climb to the top.

My picks will be CAK over AHS. Stone over Scott and Loudon over Kingston. Just guessing since I haven't seen all teams play yet

Think Livingston should win this one

Is Heritage missing some keys players, really surprised by some of their losses lately. With their guards Thomas and Johnson, plus posts Knight and Pryor thought they would be a dominant team in district 4. Hoping they can turn it around.

Heritage loses another, I'm guessing they didn't get it to the post again.

Looks like the the new topic should be "Bad Week for Blount County 4AAA.

â– William Blount loses by 39 to Seq (is that score real?)

â– Heritage loses 2 games at Christmas tournament to teams that Alcoa beat.

â– One of loses was by 14 ...Alcoa beat same team by 21 !

 

Girls basketball is strange next week could be entirely different !

Very interesting, would really like to see a match up between Alcoa and

Heritage now. Does anyone know why 2 Blount Co. teams wouldn't play

each other?

Didn't like HHS chances against White County going in. They are a pretty good ball club and play pretty physical. Good job Alcoa.

Is White Co that good. What's their record look like.

Won't be a match up between Heritage and Alcoa in this tournament, Heritage lost first game and Alcoa beat Creekwood by 20.

AHS and HHS would be an interesting matchup. HHS strength is inside play by Knight and Pryor while AHS strength is pressure defense and guard play with Newman, Shields, Troutt and company. Would like to see this matchup, think it would be an entertaining game.

Is she the curly head girl that pays for the Threat?

Is Massey back yet?

Did they win it last year? NO Loudon beat them three times with Hammacker.

Keep in mind that Hammaker was just a 8th grader last year, would hope Loudon's

High School team would win.

Does anyone know of a fall league in Knoxville area besides the one at Karns and Northwest Middle, looking for a league to play my middle school girls in. Thanks.

Pile, no we weren't notified and neither was KGC and we are both registered clubs and have been for many years.

Sounds like the only registered clubs that were notified are the teams that are hosting the AAU Sanctioned, State Ranking tournament series.

who took over peanuts job?

Jerry Codispoti, I don't know anything about him just got his name from

the Tn Girls Basketball website.

Consider the fact that $5 is charged for each tryout you attend, even though there is no rental cost for the gym. You can probably answer your own question.

Are all ages charged $5 or just high school teams?

Great stuff huh? Also Peanut had no affiliation with any of the programs.....does this indicate that without any local representation that the state of Tennessee is being governed from Orlando?

 

While we are at it.......Any one else have a problem with High school coaches who also coach AAU ,pressuring their players to play exclusively for the program they represent?

 

Not illegal but unethical?

Would hate to think that my child played with a group for years and then forced to play with a different program just so they could play on their high school team.

It's a shame that KGC uses the name Girl's Club when they have no real relationship with the true Boy's and Girl's Club. My kid has been a member for years and has never been asked to play.

Guessing your daughter doesn't go to a private school or you don't have lots of money.

Roadrunner you still on that kick? For your information the team is called the Knoxville Lady Pride now and the uniform has no emblems of any kind on it.......Give it a rest.

Doesn't the front of the girls uniforms have Knoxville Girls Club on them, did the last time we played them.

The team is still called KGC by others outside the club. We must be doing something right if your still trying to tear us down.

A post on coach T has Robpride himself calling them KGC, not just outside clubs.

Not positive, but isn't Mariah Flynn going to be a Freshman next year, if so theirs her a 6 foot post player, I've seen her play and she's good.

With all due respect for the opinions expressed here, perhaps the truth of the circumstances will shed bright light on the MJM move to MHS! It's simple, really. A single Mother with two young girls obtained her college degree at Carson Newman while living in Pigeon Forge. This done and with hopes for a good future for all of them, they had to decide just where they would like to settle, an exciting time for them. All places in the area were considered and it came down to Knoxville or Maryville.

In the past, MJM's uncle graduated from Maryville College where he played football, so family spent a lot of time in Maryville and really liked the City.

While trying to find an AAU team for MJM and little sister to play on, they were welcomed and happy to play for Coach Rebecca Morris at Eagleton Middle. It was unanimous with them this was where they wanted to settle, so the job search began. THAT WAS THAT! They moved to Maryville with the love and friendship of many people and coaches from P.F. who still keep in touch.

When high school for MJM came about, they lived in the county, girls were happy with their respective schools and, as far as MJM's sport of basketball was concerned, they really liked and highly respected Coach Howard and his assistants. She had a good, productive and fun year at Heritage H.S.

At the risk of embarrasing these girls, we will share with you....Personal family circumstances took hold and tough decisions had to be made for Mom to provide a better lifestyle for her and her girls. She searched for and finally found a home that was much more affordable for them, it was in Maryville City. (just so you understand the gravity, Mom mowed yards, cleaned houses, etc., to keep things going for them to get back "on their feet" while trying to decide what steps to take to make things better for them...because she relies on herself to provide). At this point, moving was the only option. They all had to make sacrifices. MJM's little sis gave up her place on the softball team for Heritage Middle, MJM had to leave a great coach, team and teachers, because both girls would have to change schools. However, these things were shadowed by how much better their lifestyle could again be. In these days that are hard for many folks, some things have to take a back seat to the most important things in life, and as hard as it might be, one of those things is sports! (I know....moan,moan,moan!!)

Although making this move was emotionally challenging for them, it is looking to be very positive for them as they have the support, encouragement and assistance of their entire family. AND, since I've never been accused of explaining anything in a short manner, if I may add, we've always told our kids and grandkids that when you have to make a tough decision about something, pray hard and start in a direction and if that is where you are guided and you are meant to be, things will fall into place. There's no doubt when we ask, we are guided in the right direction for us.

Yes, we have personal interest in the "Maples to Maryville" topic as you all have probably guessed...we are MJM's grandparents. We've always encouraged our four kids and five grandchildren to do what is best for FAMILY first. As far as sports, we will continue to enjoy basketball, football, softball games, whatever our granddaughters and grandsons participate in. As far as girls BBall, we'll continue to cheer on the teams that MJM is a part of no matter where life leads her! Maybe we'll see ya at the games!!

Just because you move in Maryville City limits does not mean you have to change schools, there are several students at HHS that live in Alcoa and Maryville. So your grandchildren could stay at there present school with their friends, great teachers and coaches and not have to deal with anymore changes.

If this is true, it is ashame for both Miranda and Heritage. In my opinion, she is the piece of the puzzle to get Heritage to states. Heritage has failed to make it the last 5 years after being one of the best teams in district play during the regular seasons. Heritage has always had good guards but the post play was less than required to get to the big dance. She will absolutely help Maryville but I do not think she will help get them to states. But if she is unhappy at Heritage.....go. Where is Tara Shields going to play high school ball.

Saw Tara playing with Alcoa Middle School at the Maryville College Camp, looks like she gonna be a Lady Tornado
