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.

Nashville Christian has not played anyone called Southwind, or anyone from memphis. You have the wrong team. That was Nashville Central Christian, a non TSSAA homeschool team. Nashville Christian's only loss was to Paxton, FL in a Destin tournament; amazingly, the loss was on 12/27 -- but in FL, not in Memphis.

I would say that is not exactly true. They shoot a lot of threes, and make a lot of threes, often hitting more than 10, and many times more than 15. But they obviously have not yet "died" by them, having only one loss. I would say they shoot a lot because they have three great shooters, and many other good ones, and maybe the best true point guard anywhere. Caden Anderson simply gets the ball to the open man; sometimes that man is himself. They also have a good inside game, although not real big, they can certainly score from the post or on drives by the guards. I would say if they live and die by anything, it is their defense. The simply play as good of a defense as anyone around. They are quick, smart and do not get beat. Even on games where their shooting is off, which having so many options has not happened often, the defense has won the games for them.

That is correct. And, he needs 6 wins, with 2 games left, plus potential 2 in district tournament, and potential 3 in region tournament, plus potentially more.

Thank you. They usually have links next to the team pulldown menus on the main high school page; but they aren't there yet -- football stats are still there.

Where are you seeing the totals on the Tennessean web site? I have been looking for weeks for them to start posting the top scorers and 3 point shooters, as they do every year. Have they buried the stats somewhere I am not seeing; or are you adding up numbers from all individual game stats yourself?

Nashville Christian's girl's coach, Brandon Wood, played for that BGA team, and was the state tournament MVP -- I think the point guard. He did play in college, at Union.

NCS beat an apparently very large team (according to NCS parents; especially considering NCS is quite small) team from Tallahassee in the first round of a tournament they won last year.

. . . and into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 2003; the same year as Pat Summitt. Not to mention that he has taken Nashville Christian from a team that won (according to CoachT) 2 games in 2001-2002 to averaging 20 wins (taking into account one rebuilding year with 8) since then. It is really not close who the best is.

It seems to me that this is an extremely private matter. I am not sure why this is being posted on a public internet forum. If I were the two kids mentioned so far, or their friends or family, I would be extremely upset at this topic. If either of the first or third poster works for either school that the kids attended, you may have even just violated federal student privacy laws by discussing their academic situation.

He did not play football. He transferred back during the semester. That was Zack Bledsoe, the other starting guard, who ran the two Touchdowns.
