Most schools aren't going to check that hard if it will benefit their teams. And since he wasn't rated and was really under the radar, why would they question. TSSAA isn't going to do too much checking or they would have already done something to a E TN teams but unless you actually run around with a video camera and catch them red handed which seems like this crew got their hand caught in the cookie jar, they will only do what is really obvious. People find a way to bend the rules or work the system I guess you would say. Sad for the other players on the team though.

That's really what you need to be concentrating on right now the Harlem Shake.

I think EHS will miss Norris. She was a major player in alot of games last year. Dugger lost a good player in her and the Jones girl. I'm sure if necessary he will be out there "recruiting" any talent he might need. He might need an attitude adjustment though. Chemistry plays a great part and getting new players every year is still a challenge to make everything fall into place.

Congrats to the Highlanders, sounds like they had the better game plan. On to the next game.

Yes, Yes I'm a fair weather fan. You are constantly posting so it's not hard to get on here and have a rebutal. Oh, and love the "I'm not the same trash talker" but your on here stating they should get mad and if you notice I said there doesn't have to be mudslingin to make it good. Best of Luck to both teams and may the best team with the fewest errors come out victorious.

Doubt you would have your love for Hampton if Lunsford wasn't there. This doesn't have to be a mud slinging to be a good game. Grow up.

That is where Unaka lost one of their players for the same reasons. Sounds like they have very bad sportsmanship and it is condoned by the coaches. And refs for that matter.

Valley Forge Auction Schedule - A few of the games anyways Wed Unaka vs David Crockett 1:00 Unicoi Cty vs Volunteer 2:30 Sullivan East vs Happy Valley 4:00 Morristown West vs Cloudland 5:30 Elizabethton vs Sullivan Central 7:00 Johnson County vs TN High 8:30 Highlight Games on Friday Elizabethton vs Daniel Boone 7:00 Cloudland vs David Crockett 8:30 Highlight Games on Sat. Daniel Boone vs Unicoi Cty 4:00 Happy Valley vs Cloundland 7:00

Unaka's new coach is not using his tools to their full potential. An inexperienced coach, new system and a few other distractions will make it very hard for the Lady Rangers this year. Not using his inside game like they should. When you can't get the ball up the floor and depend on the 3 too much, things just will be very hard this season. Which is sad for the seniors. Sorry to hear about Taylor's injury, sounds like a career ending one (maybe) depends on a few factors. Best of Luck to the Lady Rangers.

As for the "not to leave the girls", I think it would have to have been a unique situation for Chambers to leave. Several have been trying to get a coaching change for years and enough "ammo" was collected to make a change necessary. If you will notice there are always parents that want a change after about 3-4 years or if Suzi isn't getting enough playing time or Sally's feeling gets hurt. High school athletics have become alot about winning - winning programs bring in more revenue which runs other sports programs. As to Chambers, he may go to another system next year but he will have to get a high school certification for alot of systems because they do not let elementary teachers coach at the high school level because it causes alot of scheduling/substitute problems during the season. Chambers seems to be too much of a basketball fanatic to stay out of the game too long. For those that wanted a change - the grass always looks greener on the other side and it may not taste as good once you get there to try it. Best of Luck - Just back the girls and hope for the best. Good Luck Lady Rangers!

Can they play without waiting a year since they have to change residence to "legally" be able to transfer and play right away. I understand they are privates but they are playing in the Single A - regular school classifications. Just wondering?

I think Minton and Dugger are coaching and McInturff wll probably be helping. Wright was also helping but he is now the girls head coach and I don't know who he has got helping him. Should be an interesting year. Best of Luck to them. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I think East has a sophomore that was voted freshman of the year in their conference last year. I think he played in some varsity games. They have a larger student body to pick from. I hear they may be pretty good. But, who knows. Hope Unaka has a better, more harmonized season this year. Good Luck to all teams!

I've seen officials escort individuals out but most of the time it is due to the language being used and most of the time it was when it was directed at them. Officials are different from coaches, you don't see coaches banning parents from games, I guess it has happened but I have never heard of it. I'm not trying to argue with anyone but these are Kids - young boys and girls and people need to remember this. They are going to have bad games and make mistakes, you just hope they don't do it very often. As far as the 17 in Normandy, that was a different time with different circumstances and there are very few young men of that age today that could probably do that now or want to get put in that situation. Have a good day!
