If you had been watching, you would see 35 was hurt and did not want help up. He has been limping around the entire second quarter with a leg or tail end injury. And at that moment, he appeared to have been hit, probably inadvertently, below the belt.

Change your screen name, because you don't. If a kid transfers to a private school from public or another private, he or she has to sit out a year regardless. The only way to avoid that is moving to a different city with the private school in it. Transfers in public schools just have to move to a different district. Since private schools do not have districts, that does not work for them.

NCS is about 1 hr, 50 minutes away from Moore Co. About 1 hr 5 minutes from Culleoka. Eagleville would be maybe 30 minutes less. And Charlie Anderson is the greatest coach in the world. Helpful? Do you want this answered on all four of your posts? Either team against either of yours will be a very good.

Hopefully (when) NCS wins tonight, then someone can make a call and trade your gym for Hillwood , where we've been playing, for the Sectonal. Your gym is closer to my house 3 miles vs 7.

Why does CPA not get to host the sectional; having to go to a nuetral floor according to the City Paper? A few years ago, Nashville Christian hosted a sectional and used CPAs gym, when they were in the same region, because ours was too small. Are size requirements for AA larger? I am glad someone finally responded to Pageman. I was afraid you would get a complex that no one cared about all your posts.

I want to politely disagree and pick NCS to win, because the team, coach (and Caden) refuse to lose. I want to less politely point out that this statement: "And VB had NC beat befor they blew the game" has absolutely nothing to do with what actually happened on the floor Tuesday night. Being up 10 at the half is not having a team beat. Losing a 10 point lead with 3 minutes to go due to turnovers or stupid shots would be "blowing" a game. Winning the first half by 10 and getting beat in the second half by 13, when the lead goes steadily from 10, up to 14, then down to 4 after three quarters and down by 3 at the end, caused by an extremely good and extremely talented kid taking over with 7 threes and great ball control, is just getting beat. The only question I have about how VB played is why did the coach not do something to post up the 6'4''-6'5" point guard against the 5'9"-5'10" defender? Otherwise, I though VB played very well. But the better team won.

The plan was to knock out a wall and enlarge the gym, including moving the game floor. They started raising money for that. Now talk is to maybe just build a new gym instead.

After first round home games for higher seeds, the rest of the games are at Hillwood. It is NCS's turn to host both, and that is the gym they got that was large enough. I do not know why last year's district 9 and regional tournaments were not in the same place. For at least the last 10 years that I have been watching, whenever district 10 hosts the region, the school whose turn it has been to host the district also has hosted the region. I hear first round games are Saturday. Can anyone confirm?

I do not believe you heard wrong. I believe you read "lies". Check the Tennessean team pages for sizes -- they have lots. I guarantee the rest of the "information" was also untruths.

Just a thought: How are there so many people saying teams they have seen play are better, and will clearly beat, teams they have not seen? Wouldn't you have to see the other team to compare them? I have seen NCS, and I can compare them to past teams and other teams I have seen play in other places, and from that I believe they are very good; they do a lot of things very well; and they are very well coached. But I have no way of comparing them to any of the other regions' teams this year, because I have not seen them (except Cascade and Columbia Academy). Another question: Do the four games NCS played in FL hurt their Coach T strength of schedule? Seems that those teams would show as 0-1 in Coach T's calculation, or maybe 1-1 for the team that also played Centenial. Wouldn't having four no or one win teams kill their strength rating?

It's been tried some. Anderson is such a good ball handler, and Elkins and Bledsoe are so quick, it has not worked.

NCS won by 23 the first time, with 9 people scoring, including 4 freshmen. If all the freshman scored, then Coach Anderson played everone, a lot. In the second game, NCS was up 25 after 3 quarters, then lost the fourth 17-3, again playing freshman and sophomores. Again, 2 freshman scored. I would call that having a good coach that does not want to run up the score, lets starters rest for the remainder of the season, and is letting people play to plan for the future. Final margin of victory means nothing.

To be honest, when there are only 4 teams in the district, 1 is 0-5 in the district, and that one and another are 3-11 overall (according to CoachT), it may be impressive, but it is not necessarily "amazing".

NCS played 16 non-district games: 2 were region games, 4 were tournament games (with teams about whose size or ability no one on here knows unless you went), 4 against AA teams, 2 against Div 2 teams, and 4 against A teams. The competitions'' records are not great, but they also didn't stack their schedule full of easy A teams. Coach Anderson does a great job of finding a range of competition to get them ready for any type of game.
