Just in...Ooltawah beats Oak Ridge 42-37. Good job Monroe and the boys.

It goes beyond baseball. Deal with it, Mom and Dad.

If he goes to college he needs to get away from Motlow and Tullahoma. Too much to sidetrack him.

Intriguing...

That's a long drive from the boro. Hope David Ray pulls it off. GL Cherokees.

I bet if Grad was playing Ooltawah would have won.
CHSpanther...do you go by the name "Man Power"?

With the exception of Grad, you are all a bunch of wangzillas.
Grad, you receive poopy remarks from me ONLY because you are pretty much the only person on here who I believe knows their head from their hiney. OHS and CHS have a good deal of competition between the two (years past included of course) and I feel inclined to stir things up. Thus, i reveal justification for my sarcastic remarks towards Grad: You, to some extent, represent the OHS to us feble coacht.com posters. However, I find an abyss in knowledge of high school baseball that is shared by yourself (Grad), and find myself often times indulging in opposing reflections in liu of friendly kicks and giggles to be shared amongst the two of us. Therefore, Grad, you help make this site, and OHS athletics, a great place to be. Everyone else is a massive wang-a-lang hole.
A few notes...
Ooltewah should be playing in Memphis. Top five team in the state.
CHS, love em' to death, but will be facing good teams in sub state.
Halls is the best team in the state and I do not foresee them losing. However, I will say this: Halls can be outcoached. Polston, please do not quote coacht.com in the News Sentinel. Are you worried about winning or what people think?
Memphis always has a sneaky lil' team in the state tourney. Who is it this year? Collierville?
I like Seymour or Walker Valley in AA. However, past has proven the (pun)'tangs to fold under pressure.
TSSAA should drop DII and A from the program. Not much respect to a team that wins a state tourney consisting of three teams, nor is it fun to see private schools create a monopoly of class A championships.

Yeah, Grad, how did the Owls do tonight?
-
As I said last night...Payback from 2002.
I'm not sure if you got my last post or not; the thread was gone this afternoon when I checked. Levonte did not misplay that ball. He could cover the whole field, and you know this. He lost it in the lights. CF lighting at OHS is poor, or at least was then. Also, although you don't agree, I will restate that Cleveland was one of the top three teams in 2002...Farragut, Cleveland, and Germantown. Farragut was the only one that made it to state and they lost to Laverne in the finals.
By the way, you have done an excellent job with the website.

His name is Terry Corrum and his brother is Gary. I'm pretty sure that Gary teaches at Athens Middle School. Yes, they umpire all the big games at McMinn. Could be worse...Polk County's principal used to ref their football games.
I could go on for days about the homecooking at McMinn County in all sports. I really don't think it makes that much of a difference though. You don't hear people complaining about how they were cheated, just complaints about poor officiating. There is poor officiating everywhere though, Chattanooga included Grad. Remember last time Cleveland played at Ooltewah in the first round of the regions? Those guys were HORRIBLE...I think they were from Knoxville though....(note: This would be a perfect time to repay Ooltewah for taking away Cleveland's potential state championship in 2002. Cleveland had the second best team in the state that year behind Germantown. That was the year Lavergne won it. Cleveland had the region game at Ooltewah in a handbag but Levonte Barber misplayed a routine fly ball because of the poor lighting. Ooltewah scored two runs and won the game and went to the state tourney.)
Oh yeah, I made a mistake. Umpire assignments for regions and beyond are given to local associations if the two teams playing both use the same association. For instance, if Red Bank and Ooltewah play in the region finals then they will use Chattanooga officials. However, Red Bank and McMinn will not. They will use a neutral umpire association, Tullahoma, which could be VERY interesting. When Cleveland and Ooltewah play tomorrow they will have Chattanooga officials. My guess would be the one guy who squats in a true 90 degree angle (legs vertical, torso horizontal), holds his "cup" and when he calls a strike it sounds like he is giving birth. He is a good official; wish I knew his name.
Peace, I'm out. Yo. Bet.

The reason why it is hard to win in Athens is because they have their assistant football coach and his brother umpiring all the district games.
The reason Cleveland left the Athens Association is because of a Cleveland/Bradley game a few years back. These same two people were umpiring this game.

No, no, and no.

It's going to be a battle. Period. High school baseball at its best.
-
Anyone know about the Cleveland/McMinn game (or games) tonight?
-
Please post any info about the Cleveland/Bradley game here.

Halls beat Ooltewah, so whats that say? Besides, why are you worried about knoxville teams? You should be concerned with Soddy and then Riverdale/Tullahoma.

i dont know about funny, but i saw a pretty crappy call tonight in the Siegel- Cookeville game. Runner on first, no outs, bottom of the 7th, Siegel ahead by 1 run. Straight steal, called strike on the pitch, batter takes a step forward in the box and stands there. the catcher FAKES a throw. the umpire, who had been decent up to this point, calls batter interference, calls the batter out, and makes the runner go back to first. He cannot make this call because the catcher did not attempt to throw the runner at 2nd, nor did he plan on it. the runner got a great jump and was gonna beat the throw easily. The catcher decided not to throw and just pump faked. The 2005 Baseball Rules Interpretations from nfhs.org state that the catcher has to ATTEMPT to throw the runner out for interference to be called. Therefore, the umpire is wrong, batter isnt out, runner stays at second, and who knows what might have happened after that, but dont take it out of the kids hands! they do the work in practice, let them decide it on the field! not you.
...Tough judgement call to make. I know this, if there were no outs, the runner should have been declared out. Batter is out for interference only if there are two outs.
One time at band camp....
