Thank you for the compliment. My son plays and I was proud of them. My son and another boy are freshman and were starters. They had a junior and a 8th grader that started most of the season. One senior #30. The one that can shoot the lights out. #30 told the rest of the team at halftime after he got 15 points that he wanted the others to shoot so he passed the ball off a lot more. He had been the main scorer all season he said he had his time and the game was out of reach. I commend him for that.

As referenced above, there were a couple of transfers a couple a years ago that were legit by the book transfers. Yes, the basketball team benefited. They were very good two years ago and could have possibly went further but the sickness bug hit at the wrong time and with no depth that was it. Last year there were foreign exchange students played a couple of games but, the school found something wrong with paperwork and had to not let them play anymore. Yes, I am on here from time to time and yes I am involved with the baseball team at the school (my son plays). On side note, the baseball team is going to be pretty good but, word must have got out. We contacted all three other schools in Marion County and only Whitwell returned our call and was willing to play us. The other two never returned our call.

Richard Hardy is it's own school system. They would not be included in consolidation because they are not part of the Marion County School System.

Check with PowerP. I gave him some info that I had put together and acquired back during my radio days in the 90's. I think it went back to the early 30's at least. Also, I gave a copy to that Hargis man about 10 years ago because some of the info in his paper was incorrect. I hope this helps.

Not sure exactly. I think they have about 19 wins. They played in a holday tournament in Atlanta and did pretty well. Considering their depth is not really there.

As mentioned depth is the issue. Stay out of foul trouble they are different team. They led van buren at the half in December. Foul trouble has been the issue all three games against them. It may end in Sparta but they beat a team they were predicted to get beat by 24. Without knowing what kind of team they are.

RHMS is a lot better than the credit they are getting. Their record is incorrect on coach t. I put their starting 5 against anyone. Number 1 is awesome just wish he wasn't a senior. Depth is their only problem.

. The main thing is Richard Hardy is down in girls basketball. Few years ago the girls were pretty good. The boys were down. Now, the boys are pretty good this year (just ask Jackson co Rhms won 58 to 48 tonight). The main thing is there was a member of district 5 petitioned the tssaa and moved them to district 4. That gave district 5 only 4 teams.

Chattanooga made a very serious effort to get it. They were highly disappointed when they didn't.

The details provided for the 1985 and 1986 are incorrect. We played Lake Co. in 1985 and except for some gutsy play from Chris Ferrell would have gotten beat worse than we did. Sisco did have a long run but Ferrell's scrambling ability kept SP in the game. Kenny Flagg for Lake Co. pretty much dominated the Pirate D. SP had only one offensive play in the whole 4th qtr. and it was a int. Combine your details you have for 85 and 86 and you pretty much have it. Except the 86 game against Spring Hill went to OT.

If it can be worked out I guarantee you Vic would schedule it. Because for one reason the game has proved it would make money. That is the reason SP still plays Boyd when they don't have to. Besides games like last Friday night makes both teams better.

Well, I have been reading everyday almost to stay caught on all the "talk". Here is my opinion on this game. First of all, SP needs to stay disciplined and stay at home on defense. We play an aggressive style on defense but, that type of defense may not be the right one to use against an offense like Signal's at least sometimes. There should aggressive defenses called during the game just not every play. Sometimes read and react will do just fine especially when the other team is expecting blitzes every down. I think very highly Coach Wilson and I guarrantee you he will have the defense ready. Offensively, SP will do a lot of what they have been doing in my opinion but, I would mix in some under center and full house back field and run right at them SP has the guys to pull that style of play off too. Hopefully, SP gets the win. Just remember it only takes one point because I really don't see a blowout for either team.

I think he meant winning it all instead of coming up short like 93 & 98. At least that is the way I read it.

Kirkpatrick did graduate in the spring of 1984. Yes, the 1989 first round game was a classic. I still have it on VHS and watch it when I get the opportunity. I do believe that Wheaton got in for one play against Vandy in his senior season. If Wheaton had not got hurt against SP in that playoff game not only would the outcome of that game been a lot different but his career would have been different too. I still remember sitting in the stands during the first part of that game almost sick because I was thinking of how bad we could have gotten beat.

We lost 13-12 against Sequatchie. Whitwell beat us 10-7 in OT. That game Ferrell got hurt and didn't return until playoffs. If I am not mistaken our record was 11-4 counting the championship game. The regular season record was 6-3.
