Sounds like OS moms need a pimp instead of a coach!!

After that embarrasing show last night at Fulton and last week at Kingston can we all agree that the football coaching staff needs a change? If you run the football 400 times up the middle and it doesn't work why would Kerr think that it would work the 401st? These boys work too hard for them to take all the brunt of these losses. Let's face it. We got out coached AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the Tennessee Stars 13's STATE CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An awesome display of both talent and coaching!!!!

Congratulations to the Lake City Lady Lakers. They a defeated Robertson County 35-33 this past Saturday at the TNT.

It would be nice if Lake City would be invited to the large school meeting at the beginning of the year. All the meetings were held without any input from Lake City, even though we were forced into being in this division. It is ridiculous to place Lake City in a large school division just to keep the amount of teams in each division even. It seems that the powers that be have lost their sight of who benefits or suffers consequences from their decisions... THE CHILDREN!!!!!!

Congratulations to the 12 u Tennessee Storm girls basketball team. They finished 4th in the YBOA Nationals. With only 7 committed players that went to the nationals, this is quite an accomplishment. Also, congratulations to Faith Dupree for being chosen All Tournament from her team.

The specific game that I am concerned about, the ref didn't even call the same from one minute to the next. There is no way that you can say that the refs were fair when one team has 35 fouls, 21 which were in the second half by the way, and the other team had 15. It doesn't matter whether the refs have been calling ball for thirty + years. If they stink, they stink. If they don't like the response they get from the fans and/ or parents, maybe they need to take a good look at what they're doing. Why can't parents and fans question a call? Maybe it's the refs skin that is thin.

With all of the emphasis that is placed on the girls AAU & YBOA organizations, one would think that the quality of referees would match the importance of the events. Why would at the AAU sub-state level there be 3 referees, and at the state level there only be 2? One would think that the quality would increase as the calibur of teams and players increased. It is sad that a referee with an attitude can control who wins or loses a game not the talent of the girls that play. I thought AAU & YBOA were organizations that were a cut above the rest, and that this was where we wanted our girls to play. I know the effort, time and energy that is put into the making of these teams. Maybe as much effort, time and energy should be put into the quality and fairness of these substate and state qualifiers. Maybe AAU & YBOA are not really all that.
