Where is Copper Basin? Don't they usually play in this jamboree.

I just heard that Copper Basin is not going to play in the jamboree in Loudon because they were scheduled to play Polk Co. Can any one confirm this? Is Copper Basin really that scared of Polk?

I received confirmation today at 1:30 that Copper Basin has definitely backed out of the contract with Polk Co. Polk has picked up Andrews NC to play in week one. Basin refused to solve this problem by either playing Marion Co. or Murphy NC in week 0. Polk would have played the team that Basin didn't. Instead Basin wanted to forfeit to Polk for two years. Instead of taking the two forfeits Polk wanted to pick someone up so they would have a complete schedule. Andrews NC agreed to play and said they would not back out like Basin did. I can't beleive that the few men who are leading the young people of Copper Basin are acting more immature and childish than the young men themselves. Maybe the players at Copper Basin will let their Coach and Administrators know how childish they are acting. I beleive Coach Stone is jealous of the job that Coach Davis has been doing at Polk Co. Coach Stone only wishes he could instill the PRIDE into a program that Coach Davis has. I hope the media gets wind of this and blasts the leadership at Copper Basin High School for the travesty that has taken place. This was one of the greatest rivalries in the state of TN.

Hey cougardad, do you have any info on this situation? You always seem to know everything that is going on at Copper Basin.

The superintendant is out of town? Did Basin try to slip this in the back door while he was out of town? I know alot of teams that knew they were going to take a beating but they went ahead and played the game. If I am not mistaken Basin has beaten Polk 7 out of the last 10 years, why tuck your tail and run when you are batting .700. Maybe the tax payers should let it be known that their tax dollars shouldn't be spent on this kind of leadership.

I have never heard of a program doing this so close to the season. If this is true this has to put Polk in a bind trying to find a 10th game to fill out their schedule. I have heard people in East Tennessee say how classless the Copper Basin program is. I didn't want to beleive it, but if this is true I am not sure anymore. I have always been taught that you have to follow through with a commitment. What is this teaching our young people? Has anyone heard about this?

Any predictions on this one?

I have heard that #75 is one of Polks best defensive players. The three films that I've seen on Polk this week, whoever lines up against him was able to push him around pretty easily. If you hit him hard enough he will lay-down and quit. I'm not impressed and I'm sure Sequatchies players are'nt either. Sequatchie will run the ball right at #75 and make him stop us. Sequatchie - 31 Polk County - 6

What do you think the outcome of the Sequatchie Polk game?

Notre Dame needs to get better in a hurry if they plan on beating Meigs.
