With East giving young coaches a chance in baseball (Chris Gillies) and girls' basketball (Tracy Cloninger), why not give Derek Creech a shot at the boys' job? He's coached some of these young men at one poiint in time and has learned a great deal about the game while being an assistant under Bill Carlyle at WSCC. Plus, he would be the coach that would be most likely the one to stay for an extended period of time as his family and his wife's family are both located here in Morristown.

The names I'm hearing at East are Walters State assistant coach Derek Creech and Gary Barnes, a coach out of the Ga. area. If the school system is smart, they'll take Creech because of his ability to relate to young players, his work ethic and his knowledge of the game. Plus, I know that his family and his wife's family are in the Morristown area and he wouldn;t up and move like other coaches......like a Barnes would after a few years. On the West coaching front......my money's on assistant coach Tracy Beets.....he's a great fit for the West system. He knows the game of basketballl. One can't look at his record while at West Greene (lack of talent), With Creech at East and Beets at West, basketball in Morristown would quickly rise to the top of the IMAC and East Tennessee. OUT!

The officials were from a different region....get a clue.....the officials were fine.....Central is weak on 'D'

Final score: Pigeon Forge 75, Rutledge 66

My picks for Thursday night: Greeneville by 15 over overrated Science Hill Sullivan Central by 10 over Kingsport D-B

btw, irish.....didn't you coach the central girls?

Thanks for catching my mistake.....Papa!

IMHO..... Greeneville: Jimmy Boone, Antwaine Wiggins, Eric Anderson, Dashaud Moore Cherokee: Chasten Hale, Nick Day M'Town West: Dustin Guthrie (MVP), Dustin Fanney Cocke County: Terrence Carmichael M'Town East: Cory Shaw Jefferson County: Steven Solomon Your thoughts.....

Who are the top and bottom radio play-by-play announcers.... BEST.....Bobby Rader (Greeneville), Jay Phillips (Cherokee) NOT BEST.....Mike Rypel (Morristown East)

Thanks for pointing out how stupid you are! On the front page...there is a preview for East and for West...no mention of Rutledge or Jefferson County. Probably because Rutledge and Jefferson County's previews run on...THURSDAY!!!

Management made the wrong choice by promoting kenney and demoting bliss.....ron is one of my fave writers. BRING HIM BACK!

The only decent sportsscribe up there is Bill Lane....fire Pat Kenney and John Moorehouse! BRING BACK THE BLISSTER!

Rutledge has lost 10 straight...what's the problem? Has Hammer stayed on too long?

Captain's Galley.....Exit 417....kick-butt Seafood place!

DZ, even if there was obnoxious behavior going on in the pressbox, he should've kept it to himself, correct?
