PlayBall

The Lady Cats ARE going to work hard. Rachel Meek will be right behind them to give them the encourgament they need. It may take the whole bench to make a good show if the coach will just play them.

Pat being in Cheatham Co. doesn't suprise me. That is where she is from. Henrietta, TN. A little wide spot in the road between Clarksville and Ashland City. Grew up with the head family. Brother Tommy is State Representative. Guess she was there to see her family.

Huck your comments just prove that some people from Shelbyville have no class at all. The people from Lawrenceburg could be real ugly and say things aganist your players but they don't. It was an unfortunate situation and I hope the two girls have learned a very valuable lesson. One has to play with the rest of the team next year. I sure wouldn't want to be in her shoes. And Shelbyville CAN BE BEAT!!!!! Rick Insell needs a humbling experience to bring him and the people of Shelbyville back down a little closer to earth. I don't think they are sitting as close to the right hand as they think they are. Like my Grandmother always said "It takes twice as much energy and time to say something ugly as it does to say something nice." Remember that.

Anyone that has to play Shelbyville please remember "Anything is possible if you put you mind to it and believe in yourselves!!!!" Don't let the little Ensell man intimidate you. Yes he will pull out all the stops from getting girls in to play to making friends with anybody he can on and off the floor to try to ensure his vicotry. DON"T THINK ABOUT THAT ! Just do your best and you will be the better persons no matter what the outcome. Coaches of these teams that play Shelbyville you better think positive too. Yes there is alot on the line and the lives of your players are still be molded by you and your associates. Give them a good example and GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT. THEY ARE THE ONES ON THE FLOOR NOT YOU.

Was this game played tonight or was it cancled because of snow. The White Co/ Oakland score is posted. The game started at 7 surely there is some score.

Does anyone have a score on the Cookville/Blackmon game tonight. Who is leading? Keep us posted>

What about the Shelbyville game? The roads getting here may be a problem.

What are the TSSAA guidelines on reschedule if the schools are not in session today?

Basketballmom11 you are so right. It takes total committment to play a sport now. I don't know but I bet that most of the girls that quit just were tired of the everyday committment that it took to be a total player. Sometimes one just plain gets burned out. There are times that the child wants to move on and the parents are the ones that just can't let go. Sometimes parents are living their dreams through their children. Then that is when the blaming the coaches for the problems that are at hand at that time. None of us want to admit that we have failed and don't want to be called quitters. The girls that quit just want to move on and live life to the fullest but the parents sometimes just won't let it go. What is good for one child is not always the best for another and then the fireworks start and the whole team is penalized. Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a perfect world? But we don't and the sports world is the most cut throat world there is. Everybody wants to win and Everybody wants their child to be the star of the team. Rules are made and are to be followed. It is hard to see children have to abide by these rules but it is a life lesson. I hope all teams that are rebuilding have good role models in the team mates, the coaches, the school officials and the parents. The main objective is what is good for the ENTIRE TEAM and just not one player. It is really hard to make a committment like that and follow through with it for all the years that it takes. Some of the players start as early as 8 years old and continue through college and then on to pro ball. Now that is a TOTAL committment that any coach or parent would be proud of. Not all people are cut out to do that. I did not mean to get on a soap box. Hopefully the parents and fans of all the ball teams out there will look at the big picture and not just a select few that cannot make the total committment that it takes to play ball. Yes the few are out there and when they do surface teams are really glad to have them.

Is she related to Ashley Mac. Maybe Vandy will get this girl too. Must be something in the water there in Gleason.

JACKFLASH do you have a really high fever? Do you really think Insell would consider leaving the gravy train that he has in Shelbyville? What about the MTSU rumor?

Yes I think Willard of Summertown would be a good one to take on the job. He has shown that he has no respect for the girls that have played their hearts out the past two years. It's time for him to move on!

Good jog to the LSU ladies. Finally somebody poped Kara Lawsons bubble!

Any info?

If Gogold and 85 Warrior agree that the official was incapable of doing the job what can be done? If both sides agree sounds like most of the people in attendance must agree. TSSAA should have a complaint from some if not all of those people. Is there a process that TSSAA has to complain about officials? I mean substancial complaints that are signed by people? Just wondering?
