Coach Riddle, a dear friend of mine, was diagnosed a couple of months ago with Lymphoma. She is taking chemo and doing well. She is now cancer free but will finish her schedule of treatments. There will be a "Green-Out" at both of the LA/Smith County games in honor of Lesley and to raise Lymphoma awareness. LA/SC football already had one, so I'm not sure why it's such a secret on this board. At any rate, there's an update one of my best friends. There really is power in prayer. Coach Melton

I'm posting on the Livingston thing on the "medical news" post.

Smith County lost to Hilton Head 51-43. Smith plays White County today at 5:30.

White county and Smith County are now in the same bracket. WC lost to Andrews from South Carolina 92-84.

This is a great article from Cookeville's Herald Citizen. I coached against Blake when I was at Livingston, and he was a remarkable player. As the season quickly approaches, lets all focus first on what's most important, and then we can focus on the win/loss thing. Good luck to you, Blake. You'll be in my prayers as you continue to battle and inspire. http://www.herald-citizen.com/view/full_story/20635736/article-Cancer-survivor-looking-for-second-miracle?instance=homefirstleft

Chase verbally committed on Friday to play college basketball at TTU. Congrats Chase! You deserve it.

Both girls and boys are needing one HOF. We'd prefer to host, but travelling is a possibility. If anyone knows someone who might be interested, please post. Thanks.

I've been using TSSAA to no avail. So I'll try it here as well. We need a HOF game. We'd prefer to host, but travelling is a possibility. If you know anyone who might be interested, please post. Thanks.
