I dont know who do you think it will be

How is Stone leading the way in their district when Kingston has already beat them and is undefeated in the district

When will you release the schedule

No hint necessary anyone can figure out who that is

Hey Ram Fan you know so much about Kingston Football who was the Starting QB on the 1981 state runner up team

Come on now let's get real Harriman gonna beat kingston, if you are a player it probably hasn't happened in your life time. Kingston's defense is a little bit better than Monterey's, dline and linebackers are pretty good this year for Kingston not to mention Sams and Roberts running the ball behind a pretty good oline.

Your bracket is wrong Anderson and CAK play at 5:00, and I guess you would pick Loudon since you are their coach.

Hey Jacketdad what difference does it make to you, I think that Pantherdad is already taken since you are taking your daughter to Stone next year.

I agree with this statement. I'm gonna say this and be done with it, most of the people that are writing on this board are parents or aunts or uncles or grandparents, I read about kids not having good attitudes and how they can play and how the best shooter is on the bench: gimme a break, the fact is not one of these girls could have played on a Kingston team 18,20 , or 30 years ago, should their record be better;yes do they have a little talent; yes,should the coach have more discipline:yes. The post players are decent but it ain't like they can play on the next level, speaking of attitudes the guard and the post have the worst ones on the team. Most of these girls are to worried about their make-up before the game instead of getting focused. These kids attitudes didn't start with basketball it started at home from parents, the parents of these players act worse than the kids, yelling at officials when calls don't go your way: bad mouthing coaches and other players b/c your kid ain't playing or is not as good as you think they are. Go drink you a glass of reality. IF YOU PARENTS OR WHOEVER THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THEN GO GET A TEACHING CERTIFICATE AND START COACHING. I just love all this expert advice from these basketball gurus.

You are finally getting the picture no talent on the team.

Sounds like to me you being from Kingston should understand the Kingston clique, if im not mistaken you can look at every school in the county and see that they have graduates coaching. In small schools like Kingston, Midway, Harriman, and Rockwood it is hard to find coaches that care as much about schools than their graduates do. There is no question that the talent level at Roane Co. High School in all sports has dropped in the last few years. I have seen a lot of basketball games Coach Plemons coaches as hard as any coach around here, the problem with Kingston is no depth, no point guard, no shooters, and no post, basically no basketball players, just a bunch of kids that work hard. If you notice they are in a lot of games in the first half, but peter off in the second half due to foul trouble and lack of depth off the bench. for all the people who want to point their fingers at the coaching staff there is an easy solution for you, first you go to college, get you a teaching degree, and then get a coaching job just to see how easy it is. These coaches do it because they care about the school, they care about the kids, and they want the players to succeed. It sure isn't about the money because if you divide the money that coaches make by the amount of time they put in you will see that they are making almost minimum wage.

BTW you don't know what you are talking about he graduated in 1994 don't ever question me if you don't know what you are talking about, did you graduate with him or even go to school with him.

Coach Plemons graduated in 94 so he didn't even play against the Harriman team that won the state in Basketball or the Football team that was runner up. I do believe that it is hard to say that Harriman was the team to beat in the County they had one pretty good year in sports and you say that makes them the team to beat. I will give them that year in basketball but Football come on, Kingston hasn't lost to Harriman since 1992. As far as this topic goes you can't blame Coach Plemons for what is going on this season in Basketball, he works hard to put his players in the right situation to win ball games but they are lacking a few things, such as basketball players. James Sams is a great athlete but come on he is not a basketball player(he can't handle the ball and doesn't shoot very well outside 6 feet), they do not have a true point guard, absolutely no post players and no shooters, in order to win with that talent you better play some awesome defense. I just feel that Kingston sports are hurting right now and it shouldn't be blamed on the coach, if you want to put some blame look at the parents they think their kids are the best to ever play. I will promise you this much there may be one player that could make any of the teams that Coach Plemons started for in high school. Take away Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Kobie Bryant and Shaq and then tell me how many Championships Phil Jackson has.

There is no question Vic King knows football, when I was in school he was one of the best coaches in the state. He had intensity, discipline, and players wanted to play for him he was a winner and had nearly a hundred players every year. From 1988 to 1998 Kingston was just about always in the running for a state championship. But times have changed and you cant blame Vic for there are more things for kids to do, kids don't want to lose and playing in the toughest region in AAA the best you are going to do at Kingston is 3rd. As far as Vic resigning it will probably be left up to him when he gets out, he has coached for at Kingston for 21 years and you don't just get rid of someone like him because of a few bad years because I guarantee that if he had the talent he had in the late 80's and early 90's he would still be competing for championships. As for blaming him for the Catholic and AE losses you can't hardly do that, does everyone forget that the starting QB got hurt during that last drive, maybe if he wouldn't have have went down Kingston would have scored Coach King can't control injuries. And anyone who knows anything about football would have been thinking the same thing he was (you have a freshman kicker, you are playing AE who has the potential to score quick so you need touchdowns) I guarantee if coach King would have known the score would have been 9-7 he would have kicked it but you never know.

Waggle Rockwood is missing you. Any info on waggle would be appriciated.

Stone has had two very tough battles, they have really been tested and so far their defense has held up to the challenge they are a good team, the most amazing thing is that they have scored 2 runs in the tournament and are in the championship that really says alot about their defense and pitching they have been in some rough spots in both games with runners on 2nd and 3rd one out and got out of it everytime that says alot about the teams character

There is one team in District 4AA that everyone seems to keep forgeting about, Kingston, not only have they finished 1st or 2nd in the district for 14 out of the last 15 years, they have also been to the state tournament 2 out of the last 7 years, they are the defending district champions, so to me it would be hard to count them out and just give the district to Stone or CAK. They have a pretty good team, along with a pretty good pitcher who was last years district MVP.

To tell you the truth about what really happened the tournament official met with the kingston coach and explained to him about the light situation and that there was no way they could play the if game. The tournament officals decided that since Kingston was in the Championship through the winners bracket they would get the champions trophy. The run differential was only mentioned by the Notre Dame coach Kingston was given the Champions Trophy, but their coach didnt want to sit there and argue about it all night after they had been there for 14 hours so he let the Notre Dame Coach have it, and took the runner up trophy, but they are co champions.

Kingston's Josh King great bat, glove, arm, and speed

Contact Coach Cawood at Midway Middle School or Coach Neal at Midtown Educational Center

The Roane Co. play day which was scheduled for this weekend has been cancelled if there are any teams interested in playing the cost is $175 with each team playing 4 games at either Kingston or Midway. The games will be rescheduled for next Friday and Saturday March 9 and 10

First of all not everyone knows the whole story, secondly the OS pitcher was wrong for taking a swing at not only an adult but a coach, she must not really care about her team because I would say that the TSSAA would not tolerate an action like that if it was reported. Now for the Kingston girls that sat around and watched their coach get attacked by another teams player, too me that is gutless, when I played ball if anyone would have attacked a player or a coach on my team well they would have taken a beaten, there comes a time when you have to show some guts and take some pride in your team, your school, and in the city you live in.
