My cousin from McCreary Co. emailed me this schedule: McCreary plays Jellico at 4:30 Garrard plays Pineville at 6:00, Green Co. plays Whitley Co. at 7:30 Scott and Oneida for the battle for Scott Co. at 9:00.

Did anyone find out for sure if Oneida is playing Scott at the McCreary tournament? My 1st cousin is the BB coach at McCreary. I emailed him about the game, but haven't heard back from him yet.

I can't remember his dad, but his grandpa was probably the best shooter at UT I can remember.

Ah yes, now I remember he had one of those double southern names, Rodney Dale. Like Billy Joe Tombob, Billy Bob, etc.....He must have blocked a dozen shots when he came to Coalfield his sr. year. I think he was 7'1" or 7'2" but he probably didn't weigh 180 lbs.

Is Dan Schultz any relation to the Danny Schultz who was an All-American for the University of TN under coach Ray Mears?

I remember several years ago Oneida had a big fellow at least 7' tall. I think he may have gotten a scholarship to one of the ACC schools. He was a true 7 footer, and one of the best shot blockers I've seen in A ball. Anyone remember his name and do they know how his collegiate career went?

Well, it sounds like a private school because of the "Academy" suffix, but I'd always wondered because I'd never heard of any more schools in the county. York "Institute" also sounds like a private, but we know they're not. And yes Festus, I'm pretty sure Taft is a state "institution."

Congratulations to the LA Wildcats! I am confused as to whether Livingston Academy is a private school or a public school. I've never heard of an "Overton County High School" so I need to know how many high schools are in the county and names. I always thought "York Institute" was a private school for years until recently.

I've always wondered WHY they have football players escorting homecoming queen candidates during halftime. Back to the game, earier in the season I thought Greenback didn't have a chance against Coalfield--but things change. I still think Coalfield will win.

I noticed the Coalfield fans had been quiet on here for a few days; give us some thoughts.

A-Coalfield or Oneida AA-Oliver Springs or Rockwood AAA-Smith County or Kingston AAAA-Clinton(what a pipe dream) AAAAA-Oak Ridge Remember, these are teams I'd like to see in the Clinic Bowl, but it's unlikely most of them will make it.

Remember the year ACHS had to forfeit all those games over something similar to this? I lost all respect for Larry Kerr after that.

Let Bear have them. I'll have more than enough. Matter of fact, I've gotten rid of two muscadine vines. Got tired of mowing around them. One time Marty J. came up with the idea to label his bottles of white muscadine wine with a Yellowjacket. He sketched the label, took it to a professional labelmaker, but they were going to charge a fortune. The wine has a yellow-bronzish color, and Yellowjacket would have been appropriate for a title.

You know me well enough, Jacket, to know I self medicate.
