In 2003 USJ went into the championship game undefeated and lost in 8 innings to Davidson Academy 8-7, DA had lost earlier in the tournament . At that time the TSSAA was using the NCAA college world series format. The NCAA has since changed the format to double elimination and the TSSAA has not. Four of the 2005 USJ State Champion players played for the Bruins in 2003 and entered the 2005 tournament determined that it would not happen again, and it didn't!

Am I the only one that got that? Cub Scout.. Eagle Scout = Boy Scouts Thought it was funny.. With Josh Liles on the field It will be a great opporutunity for not only the USJ players but the team playing USJ to be seen by college and professional scouts. Josh is used to this, he has spent the last 3 years with Dulins. Spencer did a great job..

2-A ball is not new to USJ, they have been playing 2-A teams for years. Last year they played 20 games on their schedule that were either 2-A, 3-A or Div II. The Bruins will continue to compete. USJ and Goodpasture ( to name a few) moving up will only make 2-A ball stronger.

USJ should have several: In Single A ball you will find none better , whether it was hitting, finding a way to get on base, great base running or playing their position as if every game were their last. Spencer Nelson - Pitching,......sums it up Clayton Gant- Pitching.... sums it up Andrew Long - CF...... great catches, fast Josh Liles - C......what a arm and speed, Brian Petty - 1B......power hitter

What about the all tourny team ? Will tbca do one this year? My vote for MVP - USJ pitcher Spencer Nelson the team would also include Kennedy White (P) USJ Clayton Gant (P) USJ 6 of 13 ,2 HRs, DBL, .461 Andrew Long (OF) USJ 9 of 15, 2 DBLS, .600 avg Josh Liles © USJ 8 of 17, triple, .470 avg William Wallace (OF) USJ 6 of 13, .461 avg Hunter Garrett (DH) USJ, 2HRs, triple Brian Petty (1B) USJ 2 HRS Who else?

Looks like it was a great team effort on the Bruins on a big win over Huntingdon, I heard they looked like they were on a mission. Total Brun hits 17 ;Liles 3-5, Long 4-4 HR, Nelson 4-4 and a great job pitching Jackson Sun article Best of luck to both teams as they pursue their quest for a state championship also to Southside

I might need to be corrected on this but I don't think they (Fayette) have been playing in the TSSAA that long, they were in the Mississippi private division. So they have probably never have the made the Region in TN , unless it was over 10 years ago. Surprised they beat McDonald and Company...

Thats what I hate about list someone that is deserving gets left off. My apologies to the players: Dement, Grimm and Glenn

In no certain order JCS : Juniors: Sheffield, McDonald, Fowler, Melton USJ : more than 3 top players Seniors: Ross, Long, Wallace, Petty and Garrett ( injured) Juniors: Nelson, Henson Sophmores: Liles Freshman: Gant I believe several on the bench could start for other teams, From what I 'm hearing its a team effort some nights some hit better than others and some play defense better than others. Adamsville: Wolford

Are you serious?? Bruin baseball fans have been called alot of things but never jealous! 1999 State Champions 2001 State champions 2002 State Champions (40-6) 2003 State runner up ( 42-10) 2004 3rd place state tournament (41-9) 3 consecutive seasons with 40 plus wins

Good Job Bruins ! thumb I talked with a team dad this week and he says everyone on the team is doing a great job batters 1-9. Says they have hitting depth on the bench. The senior leadership is there and apparently has carried over from football. Coach Dyer must be very happy today with the dominating win against Goodpasture. What was the atmosphere at the game like?

USJ beat NSHS last year and Coach Harrell was the coach, I believe he got ejected that game.

Congrats Lady Bruins on a great dominating win over S. Fulton, the Lady Devils scored 1st on a three pointer and never led again USJ led by as much as 19 , Great year for the 4 USJ seniors: Alvey, Brush, Metcalf and Page (out with torn ACL) Good Luck with your 2nd trip to state during your senior year thumb Alvey and Brush - Volley Ball Metcalf - Soccer

How bout it... TCA, JCS, JCM, USJ, SSHS, NSHS, Liberty and Madison. Lots of baseball represented locally.. How's everyone lookin?
