Good morning Turtle . Sorry for just responding back to you but thanks for supporting the Roadrunners .Josh and Chris are doing fine . Both have talent far beyond their age but they also have a lot to learn about the high school level of basketball . both are hard workers and quick learners . things will only get better with them and the rest of the talented freshman we have on board .

Hello Coaches . I'm Coach Anderson of the Austin-East Boys Freshman team and I'm looking to schedule games both home and away , I can be reached @ : 865-936-1647 or awilliej53@yahoo.com . Thank you in advance for conciderin this offer ,

Yes she is the new head coach

Thanks to all that replied to this comment in such a positive manner for as was stated these girls worked hard for the title and was not trying to show up the Marshal players . It's good to see everyone letting Austin-East celabrate something GOOD and not try and find a negative in it . THANK YOU ALL .

As an avid A-E ROADRUNNER follower I too want to congratulate MARSHALL CO. on the the way they stayed focues and never gave up. Two years ago we came home with the SILVER and as has been stated that's nothing to be ashamed of. As a Coach of AAU basketball , I watch basketball games from two aspects and had it not been for that 1st quarter I think we would have been in trouble. To your FANS , who I though were the best , you showed what a true fan base is all about.Not once did you give up on your team and even when they hit the free throw for their 1st point you all cheered as loud as ever and I know as a player that felt good.I hope to see you guy's next year in the same game for I think you both want and deserve another shot at us.Keep up the hard work and see you in MARCH '08.

No we can't CHOOSE who we want to come to A-E. Every player on both the girls and boys team live in our zone. We actually have players on FULTON'S and CARTER'S teams that live in A-E's zone but opted to transfer out.

First I would like to thank you all for at least inquiring before you took hearsay and ran with it. You are correct in E.T. being the player in question.As for the MAGNET SCHOOL , what that details is we offer PERFORMING ARTS courses that other schools don't.We have had numerous students recieve offers to go to some of the top dance schools accross the country and also have students recieve recording contracts as well. Very , Very , Very seldom do we gain an athlete from a MAGNET STUDENT.

To all of you that only look at Middle Tennessee Basketball and think no team exist in East Tenn. , this one is for you. AUSTIN-EAST has been a top "PROGRAM" for years and will continue to be presant in "THE BORO" for years to come. We here in ROADRUNNER LAND know what it is like to be OVERLOOKED when it comes to STATE play. We will be in the FINALS and hope to bring home the GOLD . We also give credit to other teams accross the state as the season go and don't just say we are the "CAT'S MEOW". To the true sport's fans from accross the state do your homework and admit that sometimes there is a better team in another part of the STATE. GO RUNNERS. P.S. Don't look now but in CLASS A I think there is a team called OLIVER SPRINGS and if my geography is correct they too are located in EAST TENNESSEE.

Whats up "Turtle",as a faithful supporter of Lady Roadrunner basketball myself ,I as you take pride in stating facts when we speak so I'm informing you and the rest of the panel that the Lady Runners will lose four players this year,but as was stated we have a good Freshmen class coming in and return the top players for the next two years.GO LADY RUNNERS.

The game your talking about was against Jackson Co. and that was three years ago.

As an avid fan of the AUSTIN-EAST LADY ROADRUNNERS I was dissapointed in not winning the championship.Congradulation to the LADY RUNNERS for a great season for there are a lot of schools that would love to have that SILVER BALL on display.Not only do CHESTER CO. deserve the GOLD BALL , after spending four days in the same hotel as them ,the team,cheerleaders,coaches showed nothing but CLASS during the early rounds and when we found out we would be playing each other there was no trash talk just two schools happy to be in the FINALS.After the game when they arrived back to the hotel we congradulated them on a fine hard fought win and they just responded back with thanks and joyous smiles as they should have.Of all the teams there I think the most deserving team won.Wear your crown proud and don't leat anyone spoil the fact that the 2004-2005 GIRLS STATE CHAMPS WILL ALWAYS BE CHESTER CO.

Austin-East: Shy Marsh Freshman LaKrystle Goss Freshman Jasemine Robinson Freshman Britany Allen Sophmore Bianca Blair Sophmore Janea Anderson Sophmore Tiffany Isom Sophmore See ya all in the 'BORO' next year

You west tenn FANS have been talking so much lately that you have talked in circles.Who are you trying to motivate?Lets just pull FOR our team and stop trying to see who can DOWNGRADE the other.Good luck and my we have a good hardfought , injury free basketball game.

Don't worry Mr.Basketball,we here in the East also have a few FANS who can send the wrong message.Just from the response to the CUPCAKE statement I see that there are some knowledgeable fans that just want what's best for their team,, A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.Looking forward to a very good basketball game.See ya all WED @ 7:00 pm cst.

I HAVE TO GIVE YOU WEST TENN. FOLKS CREDIT,YOU DO BELIEVE IN YOUR TEAMS.SO I'M NOT MAD AT YOU FOR THE LACK OF KNOWLEGE ABOUT OUR EAST TENN. TEAMS.CUPCAKE,I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT.WE ENJOY READING AND COMMENTING ON CoachT BUT JUST TO TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE UPCOMING GAME.WE HOPE TO ADVANCE AND WILL CHEER ON OUR GIRLS TO THE END.AS TO PUT DOWN A PROGRAM AS TO REFER THEM AS CUPCAKES WELL!!!!!!! THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OLD SAYINGS........"BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR , YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT" AND "THATS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME". SEE YA WED.

FIRST I WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME TO SAY THAT THE PIGEON FORGE GIRLS PLAYED THE GAME THE WAY YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO PLAY AT THAT LEVEL.IF A LITTLE JAWING WILL GIVE YOU AN EDGE THEN JAW.BUT I HAVE THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR THE GIRLS , FOR BEING AN AAU GIRLS COACH I KNOW THE KIND OF PLAYERS I WANT TO GO INTO A GAME IN A HOSTLE ATMOSPHER AN I WOULD TAKE YOUR GIRLS ANYWHERE TO PLAY KNOWING I WOULD GET A FULL EFFORT FROM START TO FINISH.SECOND I DID NOT SEE OR HEAR ONE OF P.F. PLAYERS AFTER THE GAME DO ANYTHING BUT SHOW CLASS AND GAMEMANSHIP WHEN SHAKING HANDS AFTER THE GAME(I WAS AT THE SCORERS TABLE).THANK YOU ALL FOR WHISHING US WELL AND I WOULD TO SEE US PLAY A REGULAR SEASON SERIES.GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR AND WHY NOT PLAN ON MEETING AT THE SAME TIME NEXT YEAR.

HELLO BIGFAN,I'M HERE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT GAME WILL BE CALL FAIR AND DUE TO OUR STYLE OF PLAY (PRESSING DEFENSE), UNICOI WILL HAVE IT'S SHARE OF FOUL SHOTS.SEE YA ALL TONIGHT

Not being cocky but just because their boys (Obion County) beat our boys (Austin-East) doesn't mean that there girls are going to be so lucky. It's hard play or your going home in tears. I think that it will be a hard played game. I think A-E will play the Cinderalla story and pull an upset.

You did mention that those were all boys games and I just wondering if you will remember that those were boys games, just because their boys can beat ours (Austin-East) doesn't mean that their girls are going to have the same outcome at such a big time of the year. And I don't have any old saying to give, but it's all in fun

HOW 'BOUT THEM LADY ROADRUNNERS,WE'RE ALRIGHT.SEE ALL YOU WEST TENN. TEAMS ON WED.AS THE SAYING GOES,GO HARD OR GO HOME.

THANK YOU TigersMom , FOR EVERYONE DON'T REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS WE DO HERE AT AUSTIN-EAST.COME TO ENJOY AND CHEER LOUD FOR YOUR TEAM FOR AS WE ALL KNOW ONLY ONE WILL ADVANCE AND I THINK IT WILL ALL COME DOWN TO THE PLAYERS.LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GUYS TONIGHT.

THE LADY ROADRUNNERS ARE PREPARED AS WELL TO FACE A VERY GOOD PIGEON FORGE TEAM.WE KNOW THAT EVERY TEAM AT THIS POINT IS WELL DESERVING TO ADVANCE ON TO THE STATE SO WE HAVE TO BE FOCUSED ON PLAYING STRONG DEFENSE AND NOT TAKING ANYONE LIGHTLY.I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD GAME TONIGHT AND I SEND ALL THE PIGEON FORGE FANS A HEARTY WELCOME.SEE TA ALL AT THE GAME

AUSTIN-EAST CAN SEAT 2700.SEE YA ALL SAT NIGHT

I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO BE INVITED TO THE CLARKRANGE/CUMBERLAND GAME SAT. NIGHT AS A GUEST OF A CLARKRANGE PARENT.AS A BASKETBALL FAN WITH INTEREST IN SEEING A GOOD BASKETBALL GAME BETWEEN TWO WELL COACHED AND WELL PREPARED TEAMS I CAME AWAY IMPRESSED WITH BOTH TEAMS.NETHER TEAM GAVE UP AND THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE WENT THE OTHER WAY WITH A FEW MADE FOUL SHOTS.THE PLAY AT THE BUZZER TO SEND THE GAME INTO O.T. WAS AS BIGTIME OF A PLAY AS CAN BE.I THINK CUMBERLAND'S DEPH WON OUT IN O.T. CONGRADULATION TO BOTH TEAMS AND GOOD LUCK IN THE DISTRICT'S.HOLD YOUR HEADS HIGH CLARKRANGE FOR YOU GAINED RESPECT FROM THE ONE'S WHO KNOW BEST,,THE PLAYERS.

DON'T EVERYONE STOP YOUR GUESSING , SO I'LL THROW MINE OUT THERE : A CLARKRANGE AA AUSTIN-EAST AAA GREENVILLE
