Well how can you determine underrated? For every kid who takes the licks for their teammates to score and yet they do not get anything but bruses. It is ashamed that the only person who is remembered in a game is the one who scores the winning shot at the end of the game or who has the most shots. But they did not do it by themselves. Basketball is a team sport and it takes teamwork for one to score. I feel it is really bad to see one kid be called the greatest when they had the ball given to them under the goal for a easy shot. People need to see that the reason alot of these shots are made is because a teammate gave them the ball, rebounded the ball, hussle more, assisted for that player or gave up a shot so a teammate could take it. I have noticed alot of players do alot of the work but never get credit yet the high scorer takes all the credit for the whole game and is called the hero in the game. No one individual player does it all and to me the whole team deserves credit for working together. I support all players and think all deserve credit for what they all do.

I say Perry Co. will win the district if they play like they can. They do have alot of talent and these girls play well together. They all can hit and not anyone of them depend on just one player. This group is very sharp and will only get better. I say the Lady Vikings will be the best team in 12A if all stays well and they play like they can play. Good Luck Lady Vikings

I agree with you about Wayne Co having talent and I know Byrd can hit. The game will be good as it always is with Wayne Co. But I also know who can hit for Perry Co. and between the two I think Perry Co. will win. No trash talking about Wayne Co just I feel Perry Co has alot of players who can hit and if they play like they can they can beat anyone this year. I know W.C. has talent too. We will have to see but no trash talk about W.C. here. just pulling for the Vikings. Not all Vikings trash talk. Good Luck Vikings

sorry dont know

Perry County will miss Holly Turnbow but I think the P.C. lady Vikings can still take it all in the District. They have more than 1 person on the team that can play and they all work together really well. The sophomores still have the leadership of upperclass girls to give them the support and help they need. Perry COunty has more than sophomores. They will be good. GO VIKINGS

Kirk is a person who all parents wish their child to be like. I am lucky to know him and there is not a time he is in town he doesn't speak to everyone. He is a person everyone here is proud of. He is such a positive person and works really hard to do his best. No matter what happens with him we know he is the best. He has not let his lifestyle affect who he is and where he is from. Every time he gets a chance he came home and practiced in the high school gym. All the Perry County kids admire him and have the dream of becomming him. Kirk has a gym here at Lobelville Elementary in his name and no matter what happens in his career he will always be our home town hero in sports. He has had a very hard time losing his mother but he has shown more strength by succeeding in basketball. We wish Kirk the best and we hope he will keep the positive attitude that he has always had. Hey if the NBA doesn't want him he would be a great coach for the kids here at Perry County. We Love you Kirk and We are very proud of you.

Perry Co. has the ability to have a great season. They have alot of talent and they have more than the top 5 who can play ball. They did lose 3 players and that will hurt due to experience but they will have a good season. Good Luck Vikings! And as for the remark about the players being stupid. This is going a little far. It was a bad remark made by a earlier post but come on don't call the players stupid. Good Luck to the Vikings.

I live in Perry Co. We only have one high school,two elementary,and two middle schools. I can say our schools don't have alot of things that inner city schools have. We do not have music in schools and we don't have art in elementary schools but what these schools have is chances for alot of kids to get to play in a sport if they want without so many other kids taking there chance from them.We do not have many sports in Perry Co. for the kids to play but it is great for those who do play. Small town schools have a special touch that alot of the bigger schools don't have and that is the one on one knowing everyone by name. We all feel like we are a family in a way in the sports here. Yes basketball is what Perry Co. is well known for but I feel football is making great progress and in time we will keep making progress. When a kid makes a touchdown everyone in town either knows that child or who their parents are and they talk about it for weeks here. We are all proud of the kids and we all know other schools have alot ot offer but we feel we offer alot that alot of schools don't have anymore. We know each other and care about everyone here. The kids who play sports here all play with each other from Jr. Pro years until they graduate. The class of 2004 here will graduate around 90. Maybe a few more but they all know each other and have gone from kindergarden until the 12th grade together. There close and they know each classmate. I am proud of our small county school for the chance for all to get a chance to play in the sports here.

Sometimes the underdog comes back. It could come up a win for the Vikings if they play ball like they can play. They have had some bad games but they can win. I go for the Vikings . Good luck Vikings. You can do it if you put your mind to it. Beat JCS.

I also know of cases where in a small community everyone knows everyone and because someones family is well known in the communty there child plays a sport and others sit the bench who can play as well or better than the one playing. Alot of politics goes into playing sports I feel in small communtiy's. It is sad to see grown ups Parents,coaches and school personell take away playing time of players just to make a grown up happy. These are kids and they need a chance to play all the same. I don't believe a parent should pay their childs way to play and I don't think anyone involved with the schools should even want to do anything but what is right by the kids. I have saw a ballgame where it was "Senior Night" and the home team was ahead by 20 points. This team had 3 Seniors on the bench that never got to play in ballgames but they had hopes of playing some on this night due to it was their last night to get to play. The coach put in alot of his younger players and did not let any of these Seniors play in their last game but instead played his freshman, soph, and Juniors. Yes the parents were upset and they had a right to be. Some things in sports need to be addressed by the parent and the coaches need to know what is right for all the kids. I don't believe a parent needs to coach but I do feel some coaches are not there for what is best for the child only for what is best for theirselves. What would it hurt to let these Seniors play on their night with a 20 point lead? Alot of coaches say that is the coaches choice and it was but those kids never got a chance. To me that is a shame. If you are ahead by 20 these kids work hard and every child should get playing time. If they are requested to practice with the team they should be treated like a teamate.

I do not know who the best band is in Tennessee but I want to say to each school that has a band you are very lucky. Perry C. does not have music in school and we miss this at a football game. Good luck to all bands and if your team plays Perry C. please bring your band.

I know alot of parents that work and do not get off work until so close to ballgame time they cannot go home and fix supper or eat at home. If you have a child that has not ate since lunch and you work until ballgame time you have no choice but to either not go to the game or get your child a burger or a hotdog at the concession stand. I am not saying the football teams don't need money all I am saying is if you understand some people are working until time for the games and don't have a chance to go home to eat. I am not whining or complaining I just think there is other ways of making money. The inner city schools and private schools can handle the charges due to they have more than these rural city schools. It is harder on some and I don't feel someone should tell me I am whining about this.

The gym for the high school has nothing to do with the money problems at PCHS. Have you been to any of the meetings or are you like the rest of the county and just want to tear up the school on what you hear. We all need to support the all the sports programs at PCHS. The football program is doing good and they did get a big chunk of money for the football field to fix it. But this was needed for the players just as the gym was needed for the basketball players.. Don't dog basketball or the gym. We support football so you need to support basketball and we don't need anyone to loose their jobs at any of the schools. Until you attend a meeting don't blame anyone until you go and listen for yourself what has happened and what we can do to fix it. Good luck Vikings in this weeks game.

I realize these programs need cash but they dollar everyone to death. For a family to pay to get into a ballgame and then they buy snacks at concession stand that is a big amount for a family. Now they are wanting more for parking. People will do like alot do for other events they will park in other areas and walk to the field from other places. Times are hard for familys and these teams do need money but why can't they find another way of making money instead of charging more at the parking lots.

To me class is to win but not smear. I have seen some coaches keep the 1st string in the whole game just to stomp the other team and never play the younger players then the next year they are on the other end and they are getting stomped.All the players should play when you are leading at least by 2 touch downs and you know the other team doesn't have a chance. To me a coach that does this is very smart and has alot of class. And a team that supports all the players are the ones with class. I know a team that when the subs go in the team yells and supports these guys. This is what class is.
