i don't think Camden is the measuring stick. TCA it is early in the season to be boasting about stats. As far as the state goes you really need to focus on getting out of the district. You did beat JCS, but we all know that they are not your usual JCS team.

Former players and coaches speak out about things you have seen done well in your programs . 1. Participation 2. Fundraising Just start a list of things that have helped your progam be successful. Lets turn this thing into a positve and help all student athletes become better players.

Amen, I played for some great coaches in public school. I also agree that Milan has a great staff. They are a lot of good coaches in public and private schools but the common denominator is talent and talent wins games. In some small publics the talent is down, now my only question is WHY? and how does it get fixed. Lets talk solutions not kicking folks out of TSSAA.

One big problem for public schools. In public schools there are a lot of coaches that coach but when they get tenure they stop coaching but continue working for the school. This hurts small schools because then you can't hire more coaches so you are sorta stuck with what you have. In a lot of private schools if you quit coaching you are gone. So the quality of head coaches and assistant coaches is always maintained in private schools. I firmly believe that you folks that keep talking about how you can't compete with private schools because of this or that will never find a way. To me you are excepting defeat instead of finding a way. In the past small public schools have dominated Single A. WHAT HAPPENED? Take a look Trenton, Trousdale, Bruceton, Moore County, South Pitt., Lake County, and Richland just to name a few. Privates raised their game and now they are on top, call coaches from privates and ask them how they done it. They would be happy to tell you. Please don't get on here and say because they recruited because any school can do that either private or public. Don't anyone take this the wrong way but it would be good to start a thread that lists things that successful schools are doing both private and public and quit griping about things that want change.

I saw a article in the paper today and it showed the division that teams would be in if there was a split. For example Mckenzie and Peabody are going 1A among other good teams. I played at a small public school and we used to beat USJ all the time in the 80's, and know one complained about the privates. Now the privates are winning so lets kick them out so that we can win again. I don't coach but if it was me I would take a look at what the privates are doing in practice, how they raise money, and how they use their coaches. Unstead of complaining get better and beat those folks, don't take the easy road. Because if you small schools got it rough now wait to teams like Mckenzie become 1A. The playoffs are already watered down maybe everyone will get a chance to go to the playoffs if there is a split.

don't count Bruceton out of the mix. I have full faith that Rod can find a way to win. Yes they are down but they have played some good teams. I am a former player from Bruceton so go Blue! Bruceton wins game over SF

USJ's Adam Warren 3 for 4 with 2 homeruns and 9 RBI's

USJ 10 JCS 0 Nick Latimer 8 K's in 5 innings

first round is at the higher seeded site, then all of it moves to JCS

It doesn't matter if you win 50 games! The measure of a teams overall success, is can you win that last game. We will find out May 23. Meet you on the dog pile!
