This will be the Viking last game? GO Vikings!

No I was saying if Cordova was expecting an easy game from this 1A school, they had the wrong idea.

Humboldt wins 84-69 over Cordova & will play Memphis Central tomorrow at 4pm!!

I am not surprised. I expected the Viking to give them a game.

They are good but do not have a lot of size. If the 3 ball is not falling and you can handle their press they can be beat. The blow outs they had was when they played their JV

Saw TK in the state last year and he does have game. I don't think he would avg. 40 here in Memphis. Playing against Memphis quickness every time you hit the court is hard. If he was at East he would get a lot of playing time but I am not sure he would start over Lomax or Moss. Both will be Major D-1 players. That is about the only team here where he would not start.

Humboldt plays Cordova tomorrow at 5:30pm, going to be another tough game for Vikings!!

I think Humboldt will give Cordova a great game. Cordova is not that big. Brown is about 6-5 but athletic. Harris is a great shooter and his range goes to half court. Knowing coach Ab. he will have the Vikings ready to play. This should be a good game.

Thanks for asking. He has one D2 offer right now and around 8-10 D2 schools looking at him and 6-8 D1 schools. He got his qualifying ACT score and is working hard on maintaining his Core 16 GPA.

 

He obviously isnt a Rivals 100 guy but he can play at that next level. We are just trusting God that he has the right path for him laid out. Connor has told all schools he will wait and be an April signee so that will natuarally delay some offers. I hope you understood my post about T Key. It was positive. These young men have so much pressure and expectations on them. I just hope people support all the Keys and Slims of the world and help them celebrate in their accomplishments. It really is special at any level.

 

Good luck to you and your team!

We (Mitchell) played against him two years ago in the state. He started out killing us and coach had to call time and devise a game plan to stop him. Jeremiah Martin who won Mr. Basketball the next year and now is

the starting pg at Memphis said he had to work extremely hard to stop Connor.

Mitchell has no chance. Returning 17 starters and the only 2A team to beat the state champs. Was one game away from the title game which was lost to the state champs in OT. I hope we can win our region.

I was being sarcastic. LOL

East also has players on the bench 6-6 and taller.

Mitchell, Harding and East State Basketball Champs. Whitehaven, Trezevant, , East, and Lausanne State Football Champs.  What an awesome accomplishment. We have always held our own on the court. So many said coaching  held us back in football but that has improved also. 901 let's keep it going.

Mitchell does not have a chance.

East took up behind the woodshed tonight. They are tall, fast, quick, athletic, long, well coached and did I say tall. They are your 3A state champs. 6-9, 6-9, 6-5, 6-4, and 5-10. They won big. Congats to Penny.

Anybody seen Galilee lately? I know you are lurking Galilee ... lol. Come on out.

Allee, Allee, in-come-freeeeee!

 

Galilee is playing Hide-and-Seek ya'll.

 

LOLOLOLOL ... 

I am here. This new job keeps me going.

Coming into last year we had to replace our top 6 players. We return more this year. East may be big but I promise these boys will not back down. Every year we enter the state tournament with more loses than anyone. This year schedule is just as tough. We play for March and not November.

Girls at 6  Boys at 7:30

The AAA champs will travel to the Andre Turner Arena as the A champs face the giants. Penny Hardaway has a loaded team with D1 players everywhere. This is a Pink Out game for Mitchell as our fans are wearing Pink Race For The Cure Shirts donated by Thaddeus Young. Thad lost his mom to Breast Cancer 2 years ago . The game is Saturday night and you need to arrive early.

Hold your horses now. Trezevant will be a tough out. Losing to us should have their attention. Any team that is going to beat them will need good backers and make them score on long drives. If CR break long then look out.

Coaching and discipline isn't always there for other schools who are also talented(Houston). East has the luxury of having a good leader and being an unselfish team along with the overwhelming talent. Take away 3 players of choice off that team and they still make it to the Boro, too much talent man. 

And Cordova isn't big enough. Rod and Tyler are a good 1-2 punch but not enough in region 8. 

You are correct. I am trying to remember a Memphis team that was this deep 1-9 or 10. The 85 Whitehaven team with Huery. Alexander, Douglass, and Kirby was good but not as deep.

So East going up to AAA doesn't hurt they other sports, let's be realistic Penny is not bringing in 6-7 D1 in other sports though.

 

That is my point. They may not care about the other sports but the administration at Mitchell does. If Mitchell had won 3 state titles in volleyball or other sports thenewguy85, Coach1985, TCAIntense or anybody  would care if we played 1A basketball.

We have won and dominated 1A basketball but our talent was not AAA. We may have been competitive in AA but that is not a guarantee. Only 1 player from Mitchell has signed with a P5 school. That includes football players on the basketball team. Nashville Christian had a player on their team that is now playing football at UT. We are playing where we are placed.

Next year when we are one of the smallest schools in AA you will never see me complaining about larger schools with more talent should play up. At Mitchell if a team beats us we just go back and work harder.

First of all East has the horses to rule AAA. How their program operates is their business. WE will be AA next year and will stay there until we are moved again. Penny has 6-7 High D majors. Our talent is not on that level. Also if we moved up it would kill our other sports in AAA. You all are only looking at basketball. As an former AD I look at how will benefit all of our programs.This is the last year for us in A, so go ahead and shout for joy.

The powers to be need to make a decision soon. If the investigation is over what is the hold up?

East will stay in AAA. It was an easy choice for Penny and the school.

What if penny say this is his last year and he notify the school of that also, do they stay in Single A?

If penny were to walk away he would at least do it after coach Dez's group has graduated and that will be 2018

I totally agree . Penny and that group are extremely close. Also with the most talented of all the Lawson boys coming to East next year, he may be at East for a while.

One thing I do know as a former school administrator is that the only person able  to change a grade is the principal.
