Congrats Kayla!!

Thank you for once agian proving my point........ I would venture to say that you are trying to live through your child, or were not good enough to play. Either way, I hope you never make a choice, or life deals you something you cannot handle, and people treat you the way you choose to handle this situation. In the above post, I never defended, and I cannot, and will not, defend the actions that are being reported. But for you to contend that Coach Gardner is such and awful coach is ignorant. I chalk it up to ignorance, not a mean-spirited ignorance, but lack of knowledge about the game and what goes on in practice and in and out of the school setting. I do this because of your statements about Bomar. If you only knew half of what he has personally done for him, you might think a little differently, but I doubt you would. Go ahead and rip me if you wish, I will bow out.

This "respect" you so eloquently pontificate about is earned not given. After reading post after post of spewed negativity towards the coach, I have come to the conclusion you have a HUGE axe to grind with Coach Gardner; and his reported/alleged indiscretion has given you the podium to voice your displeasure. I think it shows an enourmous lack of character to kick a man while he is down. I hope, if you ever find yourself in a tough situation, that people will not pile on you. It is a lonely feeling, I know. I don't know what happened, but what I do know is that Coach Gardner is a VERY good basketball coach. Ask anyone else in the profession and they will tell you so.

Wow, all this excitement over the little 'ol Lion's Club Tournament. It almost has a Rosie vs Trump feel to it!!

WOW

And just what do they fill, the Gatorade jugs? This is one of the reasons I stopped reading these boards. All you so-called fans and armchair quarterbacks kill me. JCS has graduated a ton of talent the last two years. DCA was a great game with an stud at tailback, and Southside was just a better team. If you could not see that, you don't know football. Assistant coaches are promoted for a reason, they EARN it. Did you ever bother to ask who was responsible for that JCS defense the last few seasons? The only way to have "fun" is to win. High School athletics ceases to be "fun" when people lose thier jobs over the outcome of those contests. If you don't want to work, quit. If you want to have "fun", go to the circus.

95-96 is crazy. That is MLB smoke. He has actully been clocked around 91. Auburn and Vandy to name a few. Good kid, great arm. He is fun to watch.

You guys need to talk to others around the state. They seem to think that our officials are pretty good compared to the ones they have.

The way the brackets were drawn, the best teams are in the finals. The only semi-upset was Forrest over Red Boiling Springs, and Forrest did what it took to win down the stretch. Jackson County IS the best A team there. Forrest will have to pull off a miracle to win. We have an All-West Tennessee AA final. Shelbyville and Wilson Central are the best two AAA teams there. All you have to do is look at the scores. They are low scoring and close. The officials are doing a good job of NOT becoming a part of the game. Madison had a chance to win, they just were unable to convert. Not bad for a third year school that is loaded with Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors. They will get their chance next season.

FYI.. I do not believe it is a blind draw. The bracket is set well before the district and regional tournaments begin. It is all a matter of whether you win or lose your region game.

Congrats to Coach Trevathan and the Lady Jackets..........

Wow

Don't worry, just give her time, she will score again.........

So much for taking pride in what you do...............

Final Score 58-49 Obion Central
