I just wanted to report what we have been up to. I will send results to the paper, so they will have records. Where do i start. Game 1 - vs Cherokee GA. Shawn Kemp and co. were pretty good. they tripled Drew all game, he had a rough time. Travis Williams had a great game taking up the slack. he got 20, and 8 rebs. We hung around with them but just couldn't close the gap. Game 2 - vs Dorsey CA. what incredible talent. long quick, big and could play. it was one of those just grab on tight and hang on. Drew was unconcious. 67 for the game, but it was bitter sweet as they beat us 102-98 in OT. Some mistakes cost us late. Travis, and Chaz shot well, Dominique Hobson gave late support as well. Game 3 - earlier this evening. rematch with madisonville ky. jon hood (KY signee). we were tired, ready to come home but my guys did it with style. we beat them 85-57. Luke Jensen hit 6 threes to open things up for us. Chaz played great def. on Hood, especially late, hood didn't score much the last 4 min. of the game. Drew had 39 and 18, and Perry Carter came off the bench to board and play well. flu bug got to a couple of my other guys. Im very proud of my team, we grew up alot and learned some great lessons. now if we can just win a dist. game lol. just wanted to give my guys a plug I'm proud of them.

Prayers from all here at Centennial. I have nothing but great memories from the Hickman Co. program. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. If we can do anything at all please call. bk

Ok, I had to chime in here, just saw the post. I know this what this board is for, but it is kind of dangerous. To compare two high school players is a big grey area. Its fun if its harmless. Those who know me, will take my ugly sense of humor in stride. But I think where Drew will fit in best is left tackle. At his current rate, he might reach 280 by this time next year, and left tackles are the second in $$$$ on most rosters. But Im biased, I want a bass boat real bad. Seriously, I love Keiths game he has the total package, and first class all the way. thanks for the compliments on Drew, he is still just a baby though, gotta long way to go.

I just read this and this is way out of line, I dare you to come up and inroduce yourself to me. This is a sick post. This in no way supports what this site is suppose to do, and I don't think you represent the Franklin fans that I know. They are classy true sports fans. You have trashed a high school players name, the coach who is me, and I don't care what you say about me you don't have the guts to face me. And your last quote is totally out of line. Coach T, you need to stop this thread now.

I do want all of you, to keep this in mind. Some of you are getting close to ugly on here. So tone it down some. Trash talk is half the fun, just keep it sporting and clean. Drew and I were talking earlier, he was down, hurt about the loss, but he looked at me and said "you know I got to admit I loved every second of it out there tonight." And he is right, the competition the spirit, even the officials, I would not trade anything for doing what we do, and the people who love to watch, play coach etc. And yeah your right..... I can't get to sleep.

Congrats IHS, you guys schooled us tonight. And I did get outcoached, I forgot to teach my young guns how to handle a senior laiden team who says ok you are not going to run us any more. Kouch did a great job of getting his mind under control and slowing the game down, and picking us apart.Coach Henrie did a great job of picking and chosing his traps. I am extrememly proud of my boys, we are still learning and getting better all of the time. I remember a bunch of IHS sophs who had to figure things out also. Here is the best part.... I get to coach a great bunch of kids tomorrow, and the next day, and we aren't even close to what we are going to be, but we are gettin there.

Just curious here, what makes any of you think that we are even close to naming a coach?

Back to the topic. Are we getting twins from Trinity or not? Way to start a topic and then just diappear streetballa. Or was this just a rumor? and you are laughing at all of us. And if some of you are here at CHS, come and talk to me about this stuff, I will tell you how it really is. And this really is me, Coach Kelly. The big and ugly.

ok, ok, good point made to mojack. now back to the topic. NAMES!

Shame on you mojack, who gave trinity their only loss this year? Thats right MBA and although not Willco. they are middle TN, the king of TN football. And guys quit with all the ambiguity give us names.

I only have time to post this, then I gotta go. I like your assesment of the game, it is pretty accurate. We got an education last night. We did play man the whole game, It looked like a zone at times because all we did was stand around. We do have a pretty good zone, but you really can't go to a zone when you get down as quick as we did, the offense will just stand back and laugh at us. I think however it is time to use our zone a bit earlier. All of the credit needs to go to Franklin, they just whipped us. This might be the best Franklin team Ive seen in a while. They put on a clinic on the motion offense. Outstanding job rebs. I was very please with my guys second half. We did not give up, in fact we outscored them 34-32, but you must put two halves together. We are relatively young, and are going to keep getting better. Students, way to turn out, you guys are the best, keep doing that for us, we will keep working hard to make you proud of us. I love the stripe shirts.

I just saw this, I am only responding because we were mentioned. We aren't going anywhere. I love football and I love it here at CHS. I will not be coaching football next year, but I will help in what ever way I can (weights, labor, etc.) I need to give my spot up for a new coach to get real football help (and I am talking about me). I was just a support kind of guy the rest of the staff blow me away when it comes to football knowlege etc. Basketball is my passion, so I will go full tilt at that. Drew is not going anywhere either, we are cougars till they lock us out. Just one more word, then I am going to be a little busy for the next few months. Centennial students are the best, keep it up, stay positve, and keep being real fans that you are. See you on the court. Coach BK

coaches Does anyone have an old McCalls Rebounder that you do not want any more, get in touch with me I would like to buy it. briank@wcs.edu

There are angels, and one is named Kari. Thank you for showing us all how it should be. Centennial High, and the Kelly family sends all our love and prayers. I have a new hero. Thanks Kari. Brian Kelly Centennial High School

The guy with the afro is Matt Mixer, he moved here this summer from Mich. Drew is a bit thicker than Matt and an inch shorter. Mojack, thanks for your support of Drew, I did not want to start him this year, but we have some injuries that leave me no choice. Right now Drew is very blessed, and he works very hard. And his physical side comes from his mom, not me. He has heard from some colleges already, but my college coaching past has opened an earlier door for him than most. I think his grandfather has a little bit to do with that also. Harris Hooligans, I detected some cynicism in you about his age. He just turned 15 yesterday, I got him the new Star Wars video. ha ha. So please keep talk on the board positive as it should be with any player on here. When he gets older and a little more mature, then you can light in to him all you want. But he would rather you come up to him in person to do that, as I would also. I do hope he has a chance to play against your freshman this year. I have heard great things about them, and look forward to the competetion.
