can someone tell me who prints the prigrams for the TSSAA State Basketball tournament and how I may get in touch with them thanks

I think Elizabethton, South and Greenville have great chance of playing Next weekend... Eliz. opp. Aloca, if you look at their schedule, half the teams they beat had losing records, Maryville had several players out in week one, so I think especially playing at home the Cyclones will be a 8 point favorite. Greenville has been the real surprise, and the Cyclones had their way with Greenville. The devils have played better in the play-offs than they did in the season but thats the way it suppose to be. South will have the toughest games, one loss came to Kingsport, but thats when they lost one of the players. All of East Tennessee will be in Nashville, (Murfreesboro) the first week of Decenber Eliz. 24, Aloca 16 South 20, Columbia 19 Greenville 32 Whites Creek 19

(Borrowing Deke's Computer) Kim Richardson We were expecting to be hearing the results of the Cloudland game very soon, but we were just informed that the Lady Highlanders game, previously scheduled for 10:00 this morning, has been cancelled, or at least moved to a late-afternoon starting time. I'm sure The Highlander will keep us posted. Unaka's first game is scheduled for 1:00 this afternoon. (I think) Rockwood is the opponent. lf all goes according to plan, we will be there for tomorrow morning's 10:00 game. Keep us posted.

I'm on C.Y.s computer, The one who covers the games on the internet and is a referee. His dad died at around 5pm today. Remember his family in your prayers

see what I mean,,, Always an ahole around

I'm not on here much anymore, one reason is this site has become more of a bash board than anything. I work with a lot of the kids in this county and they believe in what a lot people are saying... Bashing kids 14-17 who have no ideal what lies ahead in the next few years.. Grown men and Women who have graduated from high school bashing schools and kids who believe in what you type.. They read your quotes and for some believe they have no chance of winning because no one believes in them. The best comeback game I have ever seen was at cloudland week before last. 35-21 with 28 seconds left to play. Grace trails and with .09 seconds left they have tied the score and have the ball with a chance to win. Unbelievable.. When I was leaving the biggest question I heard from many people was how did Unaka hold this team to six points... Also the game was at grace. The most of you including Carter County people are picking Onieda to win. My son plays at Unaka and has friends and former teammates on all four other Carter county teams and each week looks form them to win.. He and I pull for all our local teams to win, and every Sat. we pull for the Big Orange... No matter who they play.. Can Unaka beat Onieda, well if they score a two point conversion they beat Cloudland, and cosby. They have one of the best defenseive teams I have seen. The Big O played hampton a good game but also did Unicoi and I believe they only one two games this season. If they kick an extra point they beat hampton..Who would have thought. I believe Unaka, Cloudland and Hampton will win and if grace completes some passes they have a great chance of beating Midway... I think Grace has the best chance except Hampton of beating Midway.. Hampton 46 Coalfield 7 Cloudland 30 Harriman 14 Unaka 22 Onieda 21 Grace 32 Midway 30 If they don't complete their passes and stay with that they will get hammered. They score 16 points in .20 seconds by passing the football but went into overtime and ran four plays on the ground. From there Jordan Hughes took over Midway 45 Grace 14

East Tennessee has lost a great athlete, I have lost a son, my son has lost a brother. Cody Marley was killed in an auto accident Saturday night. Cody played baseball and football for me from the time he was nine years old. He hated to lose, he would not accept it. He was a true winner. He pitched many wins and made several trips to the World Series at 12, 14 and 16. He pitched the win in the Dizzy Dean State Tournament Championship game and led his team to the World Series in Mississippi. He was one of my sons best friends. He spent many nights at my house and we traveled many cities to play in tournaments. He recently moved to Bristol so he could play baseball for one of the areas top coaches. He played at Elizabethton last year for Coach Payne and he grew to love him and his style of coaching. He loved baseball. We will miss him deeply.

bad blow on Stoney Creek last night. Word recieved that one of the starting linebackers will miss the season because of a injury during a scrimage. A shoulder injury that will require surgery this week. He is just a jurior and will be back for next season, but a huge blow for the 2007 season.

Marty Street will be announced Monday as the basketball coach. Ogg from HV will join Witten as football assistant, as for baseball a man from out west has applied, and I'm also hearing Bill McKinney from Science Hill. He has already resigned there.

Three weeks now and no-one has applied for the baseball position. Shawn Witten accepted the head football coach and announcement will be made on Monday June 25

Strong sources coming from brother Jasons football camp Saturday announces Shawn Witten has accepted the coaching job at Elizabethton High. Press releases are scheduled for Monday June 25

What happened at the board meeting? It look more like a funeral, than a school board meeting. Players and teachers dressed in black, The ships Captain was going down with the ship and one of the most outstanding baseball fans and friend to many called Mr. Ed a Liar. "If you will lie to a friend, you will steal from him" That was strong. I though Mrs. Parlier speech was as good as any I had ever heard. I didn't understand it but I thought it was great. She should run for President. Took a few pictures, some kids received some awards, but mostly outside after the meeting people were still furious.

Look for Jeff Pierce to be the new Betsy Football coach. If shawn turns down the job, a good choice by Pless, also Wilson contacted Bernie Young for the baseball job, but Greenville has already offered him the world. Bernie likes being close to home and he already told me a couple of years ago, he wanted the Cyclone job. His first year at Science Hill he won the state title.
