  1. What if.............who cares. It was just about 4 or 5 years ago when M'boro still only had 2 highschools Oakland and Riverdale and what did they do in basketball? Nothing special, let me remind you. Imagine if it was still like that.........let me guess you all think they would dominate 7AAA well they did not 4 or 5 years ago and I don't think they would now.
  2. The Boro teams are not going to take 1-4 I mean honestly........no way this year. If they are going to do that it would have to be in the next 2 years though probably. The Boro is probably about to add another high school so in 2-3 years look for the boro to make up their own district with Wilson Central and Lebanon joining them. Don't get me wrong the district is still very tough but can you remember what it was like just 3 years ago when it was just Oakland and Riverdale and they got to pick from ALL the athletes. There is enough to go around but the expansion has helped other teams for the short term probably. There are so many kids in the Boro though it will equal back out soon enough and no one will be an easy W in distrcit 7AAA.
  3. I would say that White Co. should win the district, and I think a lot of people would agree. However, if you know anything about district 7aaa it would be a safe bet to say there is no clear cut favorite. Cookeville is tough and Warren Co. will surprise some MORE people besides riverdale. I haven't seen any other teams yet but I'm sure Oakland and Riverdale will cause more problems for those other teams as the year goes along.
  4. Some of you really do not know what you are talking about and some of you don't know basketball. I mean honestly you think Natalee Anderson shouldn't have started. Thats out in left field. Talent when you see it huh? Right, she was the heart, soul, and brain of the team. She didn't score 15 every night but inconsistent? That leaves me dumb founded. I'd gurantee her 3pt percentage was the highest or 2nd (maybe Lewis) on the team. She played hard every second she is on the floor. You start her over Anderson and Sparta wins 8-10 fewer games this year. YOu start her over April and you move Anderson to the point and then you take away our most consistant shooter because Anderson didn't look for her shot enough anyway. Its bad when you sit here and say someone didn't give a full effort all the time on the floor but you say its ok. Get something straight though I love Hannah and she was big time D1 POTENTIAL. Which means what?? Absolutley nothing without the work ethic, mind set, and other intangibles (sp?). That was Hannah's weak points. She was so good she realied on that and didn't always put forth the effort in games and practices that she could have. You can do that and put up huge games like she did but if anyone was inconsistant it was Hannah and I hate to say that. I think we will hear from her again though, she is a great kid and I hope she works things out and she gets back on a court some how. I promise you one thing though, Hess wanted to win bottom line and he played the players that gave him their best effort. Coaches don't decide playing time, players do. Oh yeah and for the talent scout that said Lewis was JUCO at best, you need to tell those D1 schools sending her letters that. I'm sure they would be upset at Georgia Tech, ETSU, and those other D1 schools when she showed up and was a JUCO talent.
  5. I want someone to answer my question. Who would you have started Hacker over last year? People keep saying she should have started, well lets hear who she should have started over. I want to hear this one, instead of just saying she should have make your case.
  6. It is definantley going to be a big loss for the Warriorettes. Hackers potential was just unbelievable, she could have really been great, with the right work ethic of course. I don't think she should have started last year though. I mean who are you going to start her over? You can't start her at the point guard, the pg from last year was good too, sheis going to roane st. to play probably. You couldn't start her of Natalee Anderson.....she was the heart and brain of that team and a GREAT player. So that leaves Lewis and I don't think anyone is going to say not start her, she's obviously a mid major talent if not a major. There is enough young talent that the Warriorettes will be fine though. Sad to see her go though.
  7. The White County girls will reload and try to make another run this year and for the next few years. They lost 2 soon to be college signees in April Hickok and Brittany Farley. They lost their MVP in Natalee Anderson. They have a great amount of Talent in all age groups. They got size, speed, shooters. They got a good coach on top of it all. Just hope its enough to get outta the hardest region in the state (AAA).
  8. Where did someone hear that Hess applied for another job? Did he apply for a girls or guys position? I really doubt he would apply somewhere right now, his team is loaded for the next few years and his son is going to be a senior. So I doubt that happened. Benchcoach- competition wasn't to tough
  9. Come on now, you are getting a little carried away on thoes sensations. Best PG in history? Are you serious? You are aware that Brent played the point guard right? Gwynn fast for a big man? How big is he? 6'2'' is being generous but I'd list him at that. That isn't big at all though. However, I agree that they could be a very good team. They have a ton of potential and athleticism. However, they need a ton of work at the present time. I wish them the best and I hope they are the group to get back to M'boro (well I wish every year they would).
  10. I don't know why Brey would be considered for any positions really. I think he's a great guy and not a bad coach but he has never done anything to my knowledge. I don't know much about his earlier years but at Jackson Co. he had a world of talent and didn't do anything with it. They should have been in the state tournament 2 years at least. Greg Bibb at Van Buren Co. been there one year made it to the regional tourney with little talent. He'll have them looking good in their district if he is still there 2 years from now. Mike Buck always seems to be looking around this time of year and may be my pick for best coach in the state.
  11. I"m happy to say I agree fully with you on that comment benchcoach. The 4th quarter has been the killer for White Co. this year. In order for them to go as far as they are capable the coached and players are going to have to step it up in crunch time. Nice point benchcoach
  12. White Co. should beat blackman tuesday night. The only thing blackman has in their favor is the game is at home. I don't think their team speed is better than White Co. I don't even think it is as good for that matter. Their post game I don't think is as good as White Co. either. I mean Blackman is very capable of beating good teams they have shown that but White Co. is a better team and should win. After that though the district will be a toss up I think. Cookeville, riverdale, or White county all being as capable as the other to win it. I think oakland could sneek in their possibly but they are not as good as the previous 3 mentioned.
  13. Cheerleaders don't have as long as an off season? If you have a good work ethic and you have a real desire to play a sport than you have no off season. Maybe two weeks off, then back in the gym,field, weight room. THen all the summer camps and summer practices. I don't believe in an off season.
  14. Cookeville better not come in and over look blackman though that is for sure. I have not seen blackman look impressive at any time this year but I'm bout positive that blackman has beat Riverdale 2 outta 3 times this year (christmas tourney). So they must be capable of playing good basketball. I doubt Odom will let them over look them though with it being a big district game really.
  15. EastTnFan- You tell us who all Volunteer has lost two. They have lost twice to DB who is just honorable mention. They have 17 wins and you have told us who all they have lost to. Make a case for them by telling some people some good teams they have beaten. Its just that DB is honorable mention and Volunteer hasn't' gotten past them yet, so I can see why they are not gettign any love. Name some power teams they have beaten and it might help your case some. [Edited by chill on 1-23-03 10:07A] [Edited by chill on 1-23-03 10:08A]
