I am one of the moms from the Harriman team. The kid that came in as the relief was Andrew Knobloch, better know as "Bush" or "Cupcake". Andrew is a senior as are five of the other boys on the team. These seniors have been very close friends for many years. All of the other seniors have gotten a lot of playing time except for Cupcake. Cupcake has never seemed to mind though. He has always been there working just as hard and just as long as the other guys, but never complaining. This group of boys are very tight and Cupcake has just been happy being a part of such a special group of young men. Cupcake is kind of like our "Rudy". He is a very important part of the team in many ways. He keeps the boys up and he lets the Coach know who is ready to pitch and who just might not have it that day. Our boys had high hopes when we played our last game, but they are all realist also. They knew that we were about out of pitching - I mean we only have 13 players all together. They had asked Coach Adcox to please put Andrew in and let him finish out their last game as Seniors. Some of our fans may have not shown a lot of class, but let me tell you this group of boys has more class than you could possibly imagine. Please send a copy of the picture that you have to mom4alex@comcast.net and I will see than Andrew gets it. If you could send it ASAP, we might even be able to get it put in his senior shadowbox. Thank you so much, Donna Hall

Sam Cummings - Harriman - Sam had several college scouts asking questions at Riverdale.

Harriman and Sunbright was rained out today. Harriman travels to White County this weekend to play York, Sparta, Whitwell, and Upperman.

bleachercoach - funny you would have been at the game recruiting because that is exactly what I was so upset about. My son dreams of playing baseball in college and we have been told that he has the talent. He has worked very hard to achieve this dream. On the weekends of his "teen years", while his friends were hanging out and staying over with each other, he was getting to bed early so that he could attend catching camps or play competitive ball somewhere. People get on here and bash kids so much that I thought my son had become a victim of such actions. All one has here on this earth is their reputation and I don't want my son to have his ruined or scarred. As you well know, if a college recruiter thought for a minute that my son was the type of kid that would just hall off a kick the crap out of another kid, they wouldn't give him a second look. I think that you could have made the same statements without posting his #. He has played varsity since he was a freshman and has always worn that # so most people did know who you were talking about. My son told my husband and myself immediately after the game, that he didn't play well, that he was frustrated, and that he almost lost his temper. All I'm asking is that you please think about what you are saying and how it might affect a young mans future.

BBALLTN - Thank you!

bleachercoach - let me tell you one thing right up front - you have never faced the wrath until you face the wrath of a mad momma. I can tell you who #33 for Harriman is because he belongs to me. He is Alex Hall, as most people that get on here and know anything about Harriman would know, and you knew that when you posted his number. My name is Donna Hall, Alex Hall's very very proud mother. Now, would you like to tell me who you are? And if it didn't matter who it was then why would you just have happened to pick out #12 (#33's best friend). I believe you know more than you let on. I hope that you are a youngster, because I get so sick and tired of adults using such a wonderful informative tool such as CoachT for "kid bashing". I don't guess you happened to see #33 being held for about 10 yards on the play that you were so quick to mention. I don't guess you seen alot of the other questionable calls that had our team so frustrated. These seniors have given it everything they have got for the last four years to try and bring some dignity back to Harriman football. This entire footballt team is playing their hearts out in spite of the way that they have been made fun of in the past. How dare you!!!! If you don't know my son and the kind of person that he is - shut your mouth! He is very good friends with most of the kids in this county and wouldn't intentionally hurt any of them. You seemed to miss the most important part - Alex got a little rattled and upset, but the integrity of that young man took over and he didn't kick anyone. My child may not be perfect, but he is a honest, loving, and caring young man. You have obviously never played football before, because it is apparent that you do not understand the intensity level on the playing field. Here's a little something to make you feel a little better: Alex just very recently lost both of his Papaws and he has dedicated this season to them and has said that he will play every game for them. I'm not making excuses for him but, he may be a little stressed and intense.

Please ignore Biggamer and don't think his foolishness is approved of by the players or coaches. Biggamer does not play football for Harriman!!!!

I REPEAT - BIGGAMER DOES NOT PLAY FOOTBALL FOR HARRIMAN!!!! PLEASE DON'T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THESE BOYS AND HOW HARD THEY ARE WORKING TO TURN THINGS AROUND.

The game was not a jamboree. It was a regular season game. Get it right!!!!!

My son's name is Alex Hall. He has been Harriman's catcher for the last 3 years. He said that he might be very interested in playing. You may not be interested in talking to Alex because he would only be available to play until July 6. He is going to a camp July 6-9 and then we are leaving for vacation until July 24. Football practice starts as soon as we return from vacation. If you are interested, our phone number is 882-5591.

Who is coaching this team? Where are you playing? Do you have any sort of schedule worked out?

How does someone get nominated for this?

My son, Alex, has played summer ball with Daniel and he is a GREAT kid and a GREAT ballplayer. The kid definitely has a future. He is not only very skilled on the field but he is also very skilled in the classroom. He is very polite and very sweet. I hope that the world is his to conquer. Good luck Daniel.

To reply to your remarks. How are you so sure that we knew about the time limit. I, for one, had no idea. Unfortunately we assumed that if there was a time limit that it would definitely be longer than 1 hour and 45 minutes for a high school game. As for finishing the Gibson County game in 6 innings - I disagree with ending any game before the 7th inning is complete unless there is a 10 run lead. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the tournament, but anyone that wants to end a ballgame in 5 innings really doesn't love the sport.

Please don't pay any attention to Biggamer - one things for sure - he does not play for Harriman. I believe that Harriman and Rockwood have the same record. They have both had some easy games and some tough games. The game on Tuesday should be another great one. When Harriman and Rockwood play it isn't who wins but who loses. I believe that both teams have the utmost respect for each other. I know that "off the field" several of them are friends. Rivalries like this one are what make high school sports great. The best team "that night" will be the one that comes away with a win. Good luck to both teams, but of course I am pulling for Harriman. Go Blue Devils!!!!!!!

I know "rules are rules". But... when you pay big money to enter a tough tournament, there should not be an hour and forty-five minute time limit on high school games that are within a run or two. Harriman loses to Humboldt 9-8 in the 5th inning because of time. This pretty much stunk to put it nicely and it cost Harriman another chance at USJ.

'A' - Jason Eble of Harriman has a nasty curve.

E. T. Alex did not get to play the last couple of days but he will be back next week. I'd rather not discuss why on the board. You can e-mail me at mom4alex@comcast.net and I will let you know what is going on.

If you "heard" about what happened, maybe you need to get your story straight. I seen what happened and who started it and it wasn't Harriman.

Harriman is going to the Easter Slam in Humboldt where they will be playing USJ, JCM, Gibson County, and Humboldt. Harriman tried to get into Rockwood's tournament and Farragut's tournament but they were turned down for "unknown" reasons. They also tried to schedule Farragut during regular season. Harriman is not trying to "sugarcoat" anything and they are willing to play anybody. This is a Rockwood thread - why even bring Harriman into it. My son plays for Harriman and some of his favorite players are from Rockwood. He wishes only the best for Rockwood, except when they are playing Harriman. E.T. - Congrats on your signing. Alex says Hey and Congratulations!

If given the opportunity, Laura Fielden could be a BIG help for Kingston.

Harrimans a front runner, they are up to 30 now with a lose to Rockwood thurs night. It's pretty hard to win when none of the boys want to play in the 1st place. They got a new coach, but you can't teach football with discipline. MAS1831 - It's obvious that you do not know much about many of the Harriman players. These boys don't give up and if you knew what you were talking about - you would know that they improved each week. I have a son that plays just as hard the last two minutes as he does the first two. Many of those boys have more character and more heart that you could imagine. Don't mess with Momma.

There are a few players for Harriman that are better than or just as good as some that are mentioned. Don't punish individuals based on team success.

Can someone tell me the TSSAA rule on this one? If someone is playing high school football, can they play on an outside baseball team and compete in an organized baseball tournament during football season?
