Not taking away from Upperman as I thought I had stated. I was pointing out that York had chances...just hit 3 of them and tie game. Players didn't make plays on offense, as stated by another poster, in the run and pass game. Upperman was the favorite and they showed why. York has to improve defensively, don't know what the answer is, but they must improve.

I don't believe that was they reason they lost...they slapped an onside kick down for LA and made several penalties late that benefited LA. I didn't agree with the gamble, but like I said...they scored on one run. 25 yards or 75 yards...the result would of been the same. The defense didn't even get close to a stop.

Please explain your response to my statement...you make absolutely no sense.

York missed 5 scoring opportunities...2 balls were under thrown when receiver was 10 yards behind DB. Two dropped passes by TE/FB when he was behind defense and they would of had to chase him down(and more than likely not). Also overthrew a receiver on half back pass by 15 yards. Offensively they had chances to put up alot of points, but didn't execute. Defensively they were on their heels and lost. Upperman executed and York did not.

I thought they had a really scrappy team this year...they are a lot better than their record indicates...

They had a good coaching staff when they won the region a few years back. From what I heard a local business man ran them off because his kid wasn't getting the attention he thought he should of been getting. Just rumor...

question is...LA scored on one run play...did it matter if it was from 25 yards out or 70 yards out? Didn't necessarily agree with call, but they instantly gave up a one play TD...3 and out is a 3 and out...doesn't matter where it is on the field. The defense gave up the big play.

The Crush team(Middle School) has had around 35 average the last 10 years. The last 2 years they have had an average of 20. This year they had 16 kids that were 12 years old in July. only 8 kids will be back next year. The community is pushing their kids through school at a very young age. It makes it very hard on the young men that are trying and wanting to play. hitme is correct...for some reason, several kids quit playing at the 7th and 8th grade level. Maybe the Crush coaches don't do a good job asking them to keep playing, or maybe they are intimidated with the thought of moving up. I think that the Crush coaches are fair and treat the players good. Really don't know...they have been very successful even though most teams they play have twice the kids and spend more time preparing for season. I am of course very biased.

Very Solid Sequatchie team...lots of upperclassmen, very good win. Very cheap shot by #6 on York's #14. Didn't necessarily set me completely off even though #6 and #7 were fist bumping on their way back to the sidelines while they were carrying #14 off the field. I got very upset when the refs threw a flag on the QB from York when in open field, 3 yards from a first down, he lowered his shoulder to protect himself from a defender that had squared him up to make the tackle to keep him from gaining a first down...and the refs threw a flag that carried the same penalty as the blatent cheap shot that has possibly ended a young mans career on the QB. Have we allowed refs and the powers to be to ruin the game as we knew it? How do those two penalties carry the same punishment? Just curious if anyone has an opinion?

His name is Upper Cumberland Man...He is going to cheer for the team in this area that is doing the best...back off...

No one ever said Meigs shouldn't and couldn't beat Clarkrange, it was just the way it happened. Only a blind man, one who listened on the radio, or an idiot didn't see the lop-sided officiating. That being said, Meigs girls earned the win. They did what they were allowed to do and made the plays and free throws they needed to. Congrats to their final four appearance.

Have been around Mr. Rogers for years, first time he has bashed officials privately or publicly that I can recall. Even when I thought they played a role, he always gave an excuse that there was something his team did to lose. Missed free throws, turnovers, etc...He is not a whiner and he has earned the respect to not be called one on here by anyone. Good luck to your team and coach to to judged in that manner.

Classy as usual.

7a is always classy...and yes Coe needed some help. That's the way it goes though. They helped her get there and had a bad run. The coach tried to let Coe beat them and changed their mind at half. The bad night by her team help UC to the win. That is basketball in a nutshell. It only takes a bad game, quarter, or shot to change the outcome. Congrats UC.

I am a Clarkrange fan, so here it goes...lol. I seen her play a few times. When she is on she is very fun(appreciative) to watch (depends who you are cheering for of course). She got away with a few pushes here and there, but a very good player. Congrats to her for Miss Basketball and I hate she did not get the Gold (even though some in 7a were against them). Good luck to her in the future. 7a watcher, I would have loved to see the match up between her and #25 from the CR 09 team. Would have been very interesting.
