Umm...Cleveland is in the Top 10 and you will see them moving right on up in my next Top 10. They are playing very good basketball right now. East Ridge has lost a couple here lately that they shouldn't have, and they also did have two losses early that aren't coutned now to Ooltewah and Temple that still way heavy in the mind. They are still there though. Look for my next Top 10 coming out this weekend. Sometime around the 7th or 8th of Febuary.

First big upset of the week, Brainerd loses to Cleveland by 17 at Brainerd.

I agree that Chattanooga Christian doesn't have the strongest schedule. Yet, Ooltewah has not played the toughest schedule in the world either. They have lost all 3 of their big games. Where as Chattanooga Christian as come out on top of all but 1 of its big games. Let the season play out and then tell me if I was wrong or not.

Deepball….I know that if someone doesn’t take care of the problems at Soddy Daisy around the basketball programs then there is going to end up being some real problems. I think someone needs to make Tom Weathers, your new AD aware of the problem and its seriousness. I was at the Soddy Daisy-Hixson game, and I witnessed problems first hand there that night. I know that there I witnessed Coach Wood say something toward the Hixson Coaching staff that one coach doesn’t say to another in the middle of a game. As well did I witness the fans reaction to her as she was pegged by a little plastic ball in the head and head to be escorted out of the gym. Then I heard that a few others quit after that game but I don’t know the truth behind that. I think if someone doesn’t step up and take care of the problem, you will see a lot more continue to happen than what has already.

I know Jeff Lewis from Walker Valley doesnt announce for UTC, because one of the guys from Sports Talk in Chattanooga does their games.

Well, Another good week of Basketball. Many great games were played this week, but no one besides Bradley emerged from the crowd. Chattanooga Christian and Bradley were the only ones that took care of all their opponents this week. Therefore, you will see that most teams remain in a similar spot as they did last week. Rank (Last Weeks Rank)-Comments (Record) 1. (1) Bradley Central- Had a tough week of basketball but beat both Rhea and Cleveland by double figures. (19-1) 2. (4) Chattanooga Christian- Stayed on their winning ways with wins over Dalton and Temple. (14-3) 3. (2) Brainerd- Beat good Ooltewah and Howard teams, but split with Central on the season in their loss on Tuesday. (19-3) 4. (3) Chattanooga Central- Falls to a inconsistent Cleveland team, but evens up the season series with Brainerd with a win. (12-3)?? 5. (5) Rhea County- Loss to the Bears of Bradley but beat Cumberland County. (19-6) 6. (6) Ooltewah- Beat Grace and Red Bank but loss to a good Brainerd team. (14-4) 7. (7) Cleveland- Played tough opponents this week. Did a good job to escape 1 and 1. Win over Central and tough loss to Bradley. (10-8) 8. (8) East Ridge- Beat Grundy and loss to CSAS. (13-2) 9. (NR) Walker Valley- Beat Sequoyah and Meigs County. Big game versus Ooltewah this week. (12-8) 10. (9) Temple- Loss to Chattanooga Christian but came out with a win over Lookout Valley. (13-6) Another good week of basketball coming up this week as always. It will be interesting to see who stays towards the top of the Polls. Next weeks Top 10 will come out around Saturday. Any comments or questions welcome…

I agree with you that CCS has a good team and could be worthy of a three spot. Which you might see in the next poll considering the Central loss Tuesday night. The only thing going against Chattanooga Central is their weaker schedule. They have not played many top teams around the area with the exception of Murray and Temple. I think you might find them there though in my next Top 10.

I see what you are saying about the East Ridge-Temple thing but MNewBaller is right.. It is a toss up and to tell you the truth that thought didn't even cross my mind. It could be changed but not that much of a difference. Temple will really be tested Tuesday against Chatt. Christain. It is hard to tell where to put Chatt. Christain because their compitition isn't the strongest. Yet, they keep winning so I decided to put them there, but your arguement ChattCity is reasonable.

Well it has been a long while since I have posted the Top 10 from the Chattanooga Area. I do apologize for taking so long. I will give you the teams that the teams in my Top 10 have beaten and lost to in the New Year. I am just now getting caught and things put together. Just in time for the Top 10 going into this huge week of basketball that will see Rhea-Bradley, Ooltewah-Brainerd, Chattanooga Christian-Temple, Cleveland-Central, and many more. Here is your Top 10. 1) Bradley Central-No surprise here. Wins over Cumberland Co., Red Bank, McMinn Co., and Walker Valley.

I encourage everyone to go out and watch. This weeks games could shake up the Top 10 a lot. The Top 10’s will start being posted regularly after this week. Let me know what you think about it and hear your comments and tell me about any corrections.

I will look to add you to our Top 10 if i feel needed. Since you do play in the same District with others included in this Top 10. Help me keep up with Cumberland though or I won't be able to cover them.

First off guys about the Cumberland County thing, I am not going to include them in my Chattanooga Top 10. I thought about including them and McMinn Central but since Cumberland's scores are normally not posted in the Times Free Press I decided to leave them out because they are to hard to follow. Second, You all do realize there has been another Top Ten released for Week 5??...Check it out.
