Heard he was suspended for "a violation of team rules" concerning an incident before last week's game. Will he play against Hendersonville? How long is the suspension?

Alzado says change your team colors to SILVER and BLACK, then yall could be real Raiders! Congratulations and good luck.

How about Arnett Bodenhamer. I heard he applied yesterday. McGavock grad, and better football than basketball coach anyway.

Yea, he would have fit in great in Panther land, and he will now too. Maplewood will be coming for you McGavock! Be ready Broome/Spears/other.

Hey Yo, nice poll, but there is only one vote that counts, and that's the vote of the Executive Principal.

Now that the job has been posted, who are the candidates for the head coaching job at McGavock?

1 Charlie Anderson - a winner everywhere he's been 2 Winston Gamble - 20 wins per year for 20 years (at MPW) 3 Doug Bontrager - does much with little 4 James Shelton - call him what you want, but he's a winner 5 Troy Allen - tough, hard-working

OK, let's clear this up. Stratford has a lot of talent, but they or most any other team, could not defeat Franklin when O'Rourke shoots the 3 like he did. I think Winrow did all he could, and made many adjustments. His team continued to battle back until the final second after being ambushed by a very hot Franklin team. He has won more of these battles than lost, yet can get no respect. Mystery to me. All you bashers are ignorant. Franklin shot the lights out. Harris was great as always, but got little support from Orr, who was dominated inside by Barnes all night. Franklin played really well and has just as much basketball talent as Stratford. Their 1-2, inside-out punch is tough! Give Franklin credit.

This was a great game. The role players really stepped up for both teams. Pellham and Frierson for Maplewood, and Riley Howard and Kemo and Quan Taylor for Stratford. But the beginning of the third quarter was Henry time. Down 14, 15 points, he took over and made his teammates play at his level. His back to back 3's, followed by Howard's 3's ignited the Spartans. Henry makes others around him better more than any player I've seen. OG, don't forget Louis Roberson of Stratford. He had some great teams lead by Joe Campbell, Cory Fleming, Reggie Moore, and Henderson Kelly.

The championship game was great. Both squads played their butts off. Game goes back and forth to the buzzer. Henry and Bubba are both special talents and fierce competitors. Good luck to both teams next week.

Hey CobraFan, I realize that Wright, Bodenhamer, and Simms are young and somewhat inexperienced. (But they did defeat Nollner, Collins, and Mangrum in the first round, all of which have MANY years experience.) Even though you could say that the 11-AAA coaches may have an edge over those young guys, you can't include Stratford's Winrow in this group. He has had 20+ win seasons for 4 years in a row, never finished below 2nd during the regular season in those past 4 years, has been the regional coach-of-the-year twice, lead his team to the final four of the state tourney (and was robbed or they would have been in the finals), and has been selected to coach the Tennessee TACA All-Stars vs. Georgia. Additionally, his players play hard, are tough as nails, and have class. What else does the man have to do? Also, the man that pulled off the big upset in 11-AAA was a 12-AAA coach for 25 years. He was dealt a team with practically nothing and knocked off the Hicks in a hurry. Furthermore, I predict another 12-AAA sweep next week! 12-AAA has always dominated. Nothing is different with the new breed of coaches.

*Glencliff may struggle, but can Antioch beat them? Glencliff has too much firepower. Antioch's only shot would be to slow the game and pound the post, but Glencliff's press will negate that *Hunters Lane will upset Maplewood. Remember, Sewell and HL knocked Stratford out last season in the district. *McGavock has had a great season, but Coach Nollner is heck at tournament time. Upset game??? *Stratford is peeking at the right time. 8 wins in a row coming into the district. Stratford wins this one. These are the best games because they end somebody's season.

Congratulations Coach Gamble. Good luck Tuesday night. If anyone can lead his team to the upset, it's you.

AAA Henry Harris Stratford Watch him lead his team, like a coach on the floor. If more selfish, would average 30 per game. True team player, no weaknesses, excels at every aspect of the game.

Yea maybe, but what about all the private school vultures and their B.S., lies, and promises that are seeking these kids. There could have been a private school meeting during this tournament with all the scumbags in attendance.
