Pretty much agree. Did not watch but a 1/4 of the girls, but Russell is hard to beat in a close game. Milan boys came out up 23-19 after the 1st and got up 10 mid-way thru the 2nd 30-20. The Dotson kid for Humboldt was in foul trouble with 3 and freshman K. Rose got some easy baskets. Dotson took Cagle outside and drove by him and scored or dished @ will. It looked like Milan became satisfied after getting up 10. Humboldt tied it 32-32 and it was close until the last couple of minutes, Milan subbed and the score spread. Looked like Humboldt just wanted it more. Milan was hurt that Rod Smith has not been with the team for a week. He has been out of town. Milan missed several point blank shots that could have meant the difference.

There were more quality athletes in the DC tourney than any I have been to in the last few years. I have been to a few. Today I went to Martin for a while and then to DC and then to Humboldt. DC, Giles, Maplewood, Bolivar, Melrose, Ripley, Covington and JCM. Most of the starting 5 of any of these could start for most any team around. It must have been the distance, but I was disappointed in the support from the local media(Jackson Sun) and some teams had very little fan support.

Shooter I did not really understand the 8th grader on the bus deal anyway. The kid in ? was attending a DC feeder school and lives in the DC school district. What is the burg upset about? All fights should recieve the same penalty. What did Obion get? C. Jones did his time. The scrimmage is a problem. Enough to make a coach resign, I doubt it. I don't think this battle is over. Since Brentwood won their battle and I think Dyersburg and others will suffer also if it happens, there may be a penalty, but I don't know about a forced resignation.

JCM lost to Ripley, Giles beat Covington all I know

JCM loses to Covington by 3. Giles County by 10 over Ripley. T Smith decided he wanted to play in the 4th quarter. He had 12 @ 1/2. He went for a lob in the 3rd and got tangled up with a Ripley player, hung on the rim, in which turned him a flip and almost landed on his head. He then dismantled Ripley in which @ that time had a 5 point lead on GC. Smith had well over 30 coming out 3 min. to go. Bolivar was leading Melrose early by 10. @ Gibson Cty tourney Humboldt over Trenton by 6 or 8. Milan beat Gibson County by 30 or more. Kyle Shannon put on a clinic for point guards. He had 11 points, lost count @ 12 assists, several steals, deflections, etc. and played probaly 2-1/2 quarters. Humboldt vs Milan tomorrow night, for the Championship get ready ro rumble!

Yes I know both. Not very well, but I do know both.

Mostly jackson/Milan

I saw (scores are close)Melrose beat Covington 93-47, Giles County 60-47 over Maplewood, and DC barely got by much improved JCM by 3 65-62 ( all scores are what I remember but would not guarantee. Gibson County over Bradford also, score would only be a guess. pen and paper tomorrow. ps DC was w/o Byrd tonight as he missed practice MON, TUES and shoot around today, but did watch from the bleachers [Edited by sls on 12-26-02 11:17P]

I agree Mike you have good and bad every where if you look hard enough, but most of the time it takes less effort to find the good, because they do not call attention to themselves. You and I will meet someday, sounds like we have done so much of the same volunteer work. Keep it up!

Kenia I made the mistake. I corrected it asap. It had nothing to do with Gomab's "unofficial " poll. It was corrected before his poll came out. I apologized once to Halls and will not continue to do so. I am not a fan of Halls, Mitchell, or Trenton, just a basketball fan. I have seen Halls play Obion, Trenton and Milan, Trenton and Humboldt as far as those 3 schools go. I will say this, after reading your posts, that represents your team, and posts about Mitchell, Trenton appears to have more class than both of you put together. With that in mind, GO TIDE! PS If you do not like Gomabs poll, create your own, make Halls #1, even when they lose 2 games, and make yourself happy. Stick that in your stocking, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It was Mitchell. I was listening on the radio and the guy kept saying Halls. I knew it was Mitchell, I guess the radio guy brainwashed me or something. How stupid! My humble apologies to Halls.

There was no 3 pt line when Bill Cook played. I would vote for Elgin Baylor, who most of you probably have never heard of , but was voted 1 of the 50 greatest players in the history of the NBA.

Beave it is along way to Halls from Trenton. I'm sure we will hear about the refs, etc.

Coach I just entered it on the add result. I guess it hasn't shown up yet. Trenton home game, regular season, district game.

McCullar hits a free throw with 4 sec left and Mitchell misses a 3 @ the buzzer. Mitchell was also being a problem after the game, coach and all. [Edited by sls on 12-21-02 5:43A]

TW another well deserved good mark for you, well said, my friend

I think we have lost a great coach. I will miss seeing him in action. Butch, as everyone does, has his shortcomings. Butch would coach for nothing, he does not need money. Good luck to him and his family. Gomab if he ever begins an AAU program, you are in for a run for your money!

Oh, I know the time, I just do not know the DC class schedule. There is a difference. I do know there are no school bells, buzzzers, etc. on the video sound.

You should know all of this, if you were posting facts before. I do not know when DC's last period begins and ends, but it takes an hour to get to DC from Milan, so I seriously doubt it.

just after school

Panthergam can you post the complete schedule, times, days, etc. thanks

Like I say I was there. If you had of been you would know who filmed. I know you were not present when unnamed people found out about the scrimmage, as there were only 4 people present and I was one of them and I know you are none of the other 3.

You are wrong. The Milan coach did have the game filmed by a team manager, not a parent. You do not know the rest of the story either. I was there, you were not. I know the inside to the rest of the story, you do not. Post facts or just read what others who do have to say.

Once again Figgy you have helped me prove my point. I said nothing about spring practice. I said spring scrimmages. By the way each team is allowed 10 days of practice ad 2 scrimmages, FYI. The TSSAA somewhat descretely imposed these additional sanctions against DC last year. Everyone knew about the probation and no home substate game, etc., very few knew about the spring part of the sanction. Had Milan known they would not have scrimmaged DC. Milan was looking to improve their team by playing the best available. If DC was not available, DC should have said so. As far as knowing both programs, I know things about Milans' program, kids, etc. that no one else knows. I have known Butch, his brother Bill, Bills' wife, Butchs' x wife, and his wife now before they ever met. I consider both good friends and speak to both often. I know inside info on DC's program also that very few know also and most of it will never be posted on this board.

I remember the OC OH game. Great atmosphere. I am not sure, bur maybe the rule is they can't play them inside TN. The gam coming up is in Houston I believe. What about the teams that go to the Bahamas, is that not the same thing?
