The state office will not enforce rules and only schedules playoffs and tournaments.

If you host an invitational hoops tourney you have to pay 17% of gross gate to TSSAA. Do they charge for all sports. Wrestling doesnt pay in most places. Softball doesn't in the west. Is it only basketball tourneys that must be sanctioned. If you play in an unsanction event is there penalties. No, not if Carter and crew have to do work. I want a job just attending sporting events.

Coach K

Latoya Bullard may be the best true point guard. I know the rural west Tn folks will scoff, but she can really play. Nikki Mccray played more of a 2/3 in High school, but she is still the best athlete to come out of the west. Shields had the high school stats to back up any arguement.

The recruiting classes at Ridgeway and Kirby in Memphis have been stellar. They will have a chance to compete on the state level.

Showtime,

Tell her it is all a matter of having the right "GENES"

One reason many people don't see many west Tennessee signees is because of the poor coverage of high school athletics by the Memphis Commercial Appeal. The paper does an injustice to all sports an thier athletes, besides football, in thier coverage.

Another reason many don't know about west Tennessee hoops is because aside from about 6 people there are no post from the west Tennessee Memphis area. I know that the highway 45 corridor is highly represented on CoachT. Martin, Gibson county, Obion and all the way down to jackson, but when you get to the Memphis area 4 people produce most of the post about high school girls hoops.

Michelle Steele-Houston-Christian Brothers Univ

Pen Anderson-Bolton-CBU

Kristen Kirkland will sign with CBU or Harding Univ Friday.

 

There are others that I don't have information about, again because of press coverage. Each smaller town has their own paper and pumps up the local stars and thier accomplishments. Then those stories are picked up by Nashville, Chatanoga and Knoxville papers and their athletes get more exposure. Not to say anything bad about that situation but those are facts that can't be disputed.

If Collierville is smart and plays halfway decent they will win 15....

Have you heard anything on this yet....

Any thing yet Coach Jackson on these tryouts.

Showtime7 when is ya'lls 18 team going to go. Tacosparoleofficer is suppose to get me info. My daughter started for the west tenn lady tigers last year is a senior but wants to keep playing. any info yet.

Yelp, last Monday and She liked it but it was a smaller school than she expected.

It is also Division 3 NCAA so I dont know how the scholarship situation will work out.

Thanks for the connection though and I would be interested in helping with the west Tenn stuff.

This sounds very much like the Shelbyville girl's post where everyone whines that they get the best players. In that though they say the coach wins and the players come. Why can't that be true of Terry Tippett at White Station. Being in their district, I can tell you, you think they will always be down next year, they just change #s and faces and the next group is almost as good if not better. Terry will beat you with your own style or make you play how he wants too, and still beat your rear and you have the long ride back to east Tenn.

Who, what, when, where? Memphis girls want to play and will travel.

We all, as coaches, desire to build our program to the level of Shelbyville. Otherwise, we can never compete with them. Most of us work hard and are looking for those 2 consecutive classes that will give us the depth to have a semblance of the eagles success. IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are the 17/18 dates set yet?

needed the geography lesson thanks, but McMinn doesn't mouth either.. They play.

The best 6 players won.

Will the girl that was hurt at the end of the game play for Central. Without her it will not be close.

That reminded me of Walton against Memphis State in 74

You folks at Perry County cried and complained every call or no call. You could play Peabody 10 times and never beat them.

Where the heck is all this east tennessee power at on Finals Saturday.

 

Explain Sevier County fans, or have you sworn off CoachT?

 

I know it was the officiating, a TSSAA conspiracy, MTSU gave your teams the bad locker rooms, your cat died, stomach hurt, and were having a bad hair day.

No dog here either, but I feel the tech was undeserved. Houston and Newman both had reactions to calls that could have garnered technicals earlier in the game.

 

Should they have been called. No! Neither should the one on manuel. There was an official she was moving toward that could have dealt with it without the guy running in from the opposite corner and calling it. Should she have been warned yes. Emotions in those situations for young people come quickly and she didn't get the chance.

 

Did it change the outcome of the game. No! only the margin and the fan enjoyment.

Shelbyville by a bunch. I believe Bullard will get frustrated with the pressure. Nobody does it like Shelbyville. Being a Memphis guy, I want Craigmont to win. Tht could only happen in a Powell-like game at the end.

Didn't he show up about the time Hoffa disappeared.

Where is Bartlett? We have a big Christmas tournament at Collierville TN just outside of Memphis. Get your coaches to call and get in. I will be at the state tournament thursday and friday. Have them contact me. 901-299-4942. We can get you a win against lowly west Tennessee teams.

Individual programs not as a whole. go to school. get an education. Marry brother or sister, what ever your preference. shut up talking when you can't find memfis on the map.
