Weather forecast causing this?

We have been able to loosen our security restrictions today. Hopefully access for some members will improve.

Congrats to Nolensville for winning the Region title. What a run at the end of the season! 

Lawrence Co and Lincoln co competed well but Brentwood and Nolensville are clearly the better teams. Lawrence Co has vastly improved in the last five years. Good luck to RHS and BHS in the sectionals.

Brentwood vs Nolensville in the finals at 7. Again, watch at https://www.facebook.com/xsportsnetwork.net

I may have been wrong about them covering the finals with two teams from out-of-district, and advertising area, and if so, I apologize.

The website can't be reached using the TOR browser.   

What is the TOR browser and how many do you think use it? IS it the entire website or just the boards that this browser can't reach?

Just noticed...part of it I guess, but totally sucks Brentwood and Nolensville have to drive all the way to Lawrence Co. for Region tourney... might as well be in Alabama... I would guess 1.5 hrs for each?

Have you noticed that Lawrence County has to drive to Brentwood and Nolensville some years, also? Nice hour and 20 minute drive which LCHS makes often in all sports.

Football Fridays make a difference...

Everything seems to be working well. A few more spammers tried to come in but were stopped by the verification...in other words, I didn't let them. The real test will come overnight.

The popup you will get is from CloudFlare and says something like "We need to check security of your connection". EVERYONE will get this when you enter on a different device but hopefully only once per device.

So far the new signin security seems to be working.

Now I am going fishing...but I'll have my phone ready to ban members if needed.

Some changes have been made which may require everyone to verify, one time, that this is a safe site, etc in a pop-up. The popup message may alarm some people but no choice now.

New members will now have to both verify their registration by email and I have to validate each one before they have access to the boards.

Kicked out 22 this morning. They come in from Europe and Asia overnight when I am sleeping. Most are from India, others are using VPNs which change every time they use them. Several from Moscow this morning. Can't block them very easily. Had 130 emails from the same group, using my "Contact CoachT" link.

Most of them are working for companies. They don't tend to come in on the weekends when they are off.

There is an authentication process but these don't seem to be bots, They appear to be individuals so they can answer the authentication questions as long as they have valid email addresses. They also appear to use AI to write posts.

Pay subscriptions might stop it but then there might not be anyone here but me and a few others.

We'll come up with an answer. Just bear with us. In the meantime, report those posts but don't click on the links.

Page vs Hillsboro was moved to tonight (Thursday) so removed from this week's picks.

Are these the correct standings?   If they are, I'm not sure what I was looking at last night.

According to this list, I'm in 6th place and 6 games back.  Tied alongside the great Pujo.

Yes. Last week you weren't in the top 10. Nice comeback.

Read 'em and weep

When I set up this site I set it up to only follow TSSAA teams. If there is enough interest we can easily add a message board but cannot track the teams, scores, etc.

I don't know now. I'll look and see if he has been on lately.
