Good luck to the Cats. Wish I was able to skip work and watch another squad in the 'Boro. If our guys can box out, rebound, and be smart, we could pull the "impossible." They just can't get intimidated and realize they belong in the final eight as much as the other seven teams do. At this point in time, your record, where your big stars are going to college, and who you've beat before doesn't matter. It's a brand new season, and anything can happen.

Great effort by the Cats tonight. There's no better feeling than winning the ones that matter. 2-25 or 27-0, there's only four wins that matter: Sub-State, Elite Eight, Final Four, and the Championship. This team has the opportunity to make some noise if they get more active on the defensive boards. Box out, guys. Shot selection was good tonight. Really impressed with the intensity on D in the second half. It couldn't have happened to a better coach, either. Coach Franks is a great dude and he deserves all the success. Morris and Lance make for a great supporting cast too.

All it takes it four quarters of good basketball to get to the ultimate destination. Playing one more at the house helps. There's no way a Coach Franks squad won't be mentally and physically prepared for Monday night.

Sounds like it's an incredible game at half so far.

As a part of the Wayne County team during CPA's sub-state runs of 04-05, it was a blast going to y'alls school and playing two years in a row. Wayne Co/CPA played two great games, splitting one each, and we were treated very well. Those two games are something that'll I'll remember forever.

PC Fans having no class? Shocker. Blaming everything on someone else and waiting for next season: A new PC tradition.

Congrats to Coach Franks and the Cats. Close games with Culleoka and PC is just like the olden days.

1A wise, for the sames I saw, they really wasn't calling a lot of loose ball calls like backside. And they wouldn't even come close to calling hand checks or holds, say for instance, when being pressured while dribbling up the court. In the Wayne Co/Clay Co game they called everything that wasn't fouls and didn't call any fouls, even when they looked right at the play. It didn't make any sense. But they were calling good charges and blocks. All in all, I guess the reffing to me was about 50/50 as always

Well, technically, the score would have been different had we not put the reserves in to let them have a reward of playing on the Murphy Center floor for a year of hardwork. They scored at least 6-10 points right there during that spot, making the score higher. But depth killed Wayne County, you just can't play a high tempo game with a six, seven man rotation unless you're freakishly athletic. Union City is a good team, and I wasn't knocking anyone. All I was saying was in response to all the people who said Wayne County didn't belong and that we were garbage.

I thought we were going to do it, guys. It looked good in the first half, we were showing Union City and everyone who said we were garbage that we belonged in the Boro for the second straight year. Union City is a good team no doubt, but we gave them a good first half. Just nothing you can do when a team like that gets hot to open the half. They were good, but they're going to get more than they bargained for with Grace tomorrow, they were very impressive. I liked the way they played today against Humbolt. I could get on here and say a lot of stuff about it's easy to win when you used to be 2a and everything, but we gave ya'll a whole heck of a lot better game than anyone else thought we would, even to the point of taking the lead. We just didn't execute shots and play 32 whole minutes of basketball. For a team no one gave any hope for at the beginning of the season, I couldn't be more proud of the guys from Wayne County...What a heck of a four years that was. Two-straight Final Four appearances Three-straight sub-state games Region championship Two Region Runners-Up Two Straight District championships District third place and this year District runners-up That's an impressive resume for four years of hard work. It was great being along for the ride. The number one fans, and you guys know who the real number one fans were, are proud of each and every one of ya'll...From the starters to the managers, thanks for a great season and some awesome memories this year.

What's this I'm reading? Wayne County is garbage and they should only be watching the games from the stands? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa big man. Wayne County is in Murfreesboro for the second straight year for a reason. We deserve to be. We've played some great teams and some great ball this season when nobody thought we'd do anything with the loss of three main players and a heck of a manager last year. To say we don't belong and that we're garbage is a joke, because we're the only single A team this year to make it two years in a row I do believe. Last year against Peabody wasn't a blowout. I was there, Doaks and crew played great, which is why he's at Tenn-Chattanooga, and he made the difference in the game. It wasn't a blowout, we played them solid and could have won had we changed some things and etc. It's easy to talk crap about being so awesome when you come from 2A down to "lowly" ol' single A. Wayne County is not garbage, not this year, or last year(the best year in WCHS history). We've not lost more than nine games in a season since Franks has come in, so you'd better check some stats before you call us garbage. No 30 point blowout tomorrow. No 20 point blowout. Only a tight game.

Nobody's shutting CJ Hammack down. It's one of those things in life like the grass always being green and the sky blue. It's not going to change. Wayne County can play with that team, we didn't play our best game against Clay County, and I'm sure this is the only game most people are judging us by. I know for a fact my boys are coming out tomorrow as a different team. I was with them last year, I know what type of routine they had last year, and I know they're in a gym right now working hard and getting themselves ready. So Union City doesn't need to be clearing space in a trophy case back home for a gold/silver ball just yet. We've beaten all the teams we weren't supposed to beat in situations we weren't supposed to overcome. I wouldn't put anything past Coach Franks and Coach Morris, especially when you get a motivated Daniel Doyle and CJ Hammack on the court. #23 and #40 aren't weak links. In fact, AJ Bell #23 sealed the game against Clay County yesterday for the record. So everyone needs to stop hating on AJ, he contributes with hustle plays, scoring isn't the only stat to look at. And #40 Daniel Warren comes off the bench for AJ and supplies a solid 5-10 points, including a big time pressure defense. Hammonds #44 is going to have to have a better game tomorrow than he did Wednesday, he just wasn't playing like himself, but I know he'll change it around. And you're talking about us having no other ball handlers, #10 Andy Beckham is one of the best dribblers in terms of handling skills Wayne County's had in a while, it's just CJ runs the point and he's so fast. Wayne County has everything needed to pull the upset, it's just a matter of doing the little things and getting the job done. I'm not writing my boys off like everyone else. Anything can happen in the Murphy Center.

Keep talking. Union City looked impressive for sure, and they're nothing to diss, but seriously, Cloudland looked like they didn't even belong in the State Tournament the way they came out and played today. I guarantee the game's going to be closer Friday morning than Union City's game with Cloudland was. I'm proud of my boys, they hung in there with some badly missed calls on both sides of the ball for both teams. Seemed like the refs for our game called calls that weren't fouls, and didn't call stuff that were fouls. Clay County was a good team, and well, here we are again, familiar waters for Wayne County...We have some banners in the gym that say Final Four on it, but how about we try adding one that says Finals? It can happen, but we'll have to play hard and smart to handle Union City, but it's not an impossible task. Wayne County's played the role of giant killer all year when we were told we didn't have a chance... Including eliminating a Mr. Basketball contender from #2 Culleoka, we eliminated #2 Clay County today, and I'm all for taking out Union City. Take care of business guys, two more left.

Here we go, for the first time ever we're in the Boro in back-to-back years, and I know we're not going to Murfreesboro on Wednesday to stay for a day and be done. That was the days when we were working on getting closer each and every year. You can talk about athleticism of guards all day, but our guards are as good as anyone's. CJ's speed, Beckham's offesnive ability, Daniel Warren coming off the bench and being a huge boost, and my boy #23 AJ Bell is the man you got to play defense on. Our post players are great, Daniel Doyle is money from the free throw line and a good shooter, and Hammonds is a beast in the paint. Obviously, everyone's good to make it this far, but I'm going with my boys from Wayne County. They were here last year, made it to the final four. They know what it's like to be the underdogs and they be fine. We'll all be there in full force Wednesday morning.

Big win last night from my boys from WC. #4 is a great player for Nash. Christian, but he couldn't do it alone. Proud of the Cats in making their second straight State Tournament appearance, I don't think any WCHS team has gone in back-to-back years, I may be wrong. We stopped one game short last year, let's go in this year and make some more noise.

To be one of the last 16 teams left in class A bball, you can't be a bad team. Wayne County's in their third straight sub-state game, and it's at home. I know our guys will be ready and have been preparing to do all the necessary things to take care of business. We can't play sloppy, but we're rolling on a great set of games at Region last week and it should continue on into this week and beyond.

We've played good D all year long, there's no time to let it up now. I know Franks will have the guys ready for the showdown at the house Monday. Really good scouting reports, very detailed. They seem dangerous if they can get hot, but that's not going to happen with CJ and Beck shutting down the shooters, and I know you won't bring it into Hammonds and Doyle's lane, that'd be a bad idea. It's going to get wild and crazy Monday night, I can't wait. Take care of business one last time guys.

Awesome win tonight by WC. I knew we would take it, though I was getting a little worried when CA came out in the second half shooting lights out. We kept our composure and sealed the deal. I can't wait for Monday night's game, finally a sub-state game at home. Three-straight sub-state appearances, a region title, two district titles has to show everyone that Franks is the real coach of the year in 12a Big props go out to the entire team tonight. Hammonds played a solid game on both ends, Beckham was so good he had to change jerseys, CJ was too much for Ingram to handle...And Doyle hitting the crazy shot at the end of the first let me know it was going to be our night. Me and my WC cheering section boys left late from the game thanks to getting tied up in a serious game of dunkball, and had a blowout on the way there..But we ran the assembly line and got the tire changed in 10 minutes flat and still made it there on time. That's what kind of night it's been. I can't wait to watch my boys Monday night at the hizzle. Here's to taking the last step remaining on our way back to the big 'Boro.

I can't wait for tonight's game after taking care of business the past two games. This is our third-straight region c'ship game, and we've not been able to seal the deal in previous years(last year actually worked out better for us losing than winning), but tonight's going to be no easy night by far. CA is impressive, I knew at the end of last year that this CA squad would do nothing but get even better, and they did. It'll be a dogfight tonight, and I can't wait to get there and watch. The cheering section's going to be there and we're gonna' be ready to help our boys 3, 44, 10, 24 and 23 get us another home game.

Word, those ebonics are paying off, know what I'm sayin, mayne?

What happened in the season means nothing now. This is Season Part II, the only games that matter. Just worry about your team, we'll worry with ours, and if the time comes, we'll both worry about one another.

Oh snap, you'll call him out over HOTMAIL. lol..Gesh, everyone chill. It's just some competitive trash talk. No need to do something drastic, like have a verbal war on MSN MESSENGER~!

Calm down rebel, Cully's gonna' be good. No need to go insane over the win, go insane tomorrow night if we take the region title home.

Well, since you don't mind Wayne Co. people rubbing it in... Cully was just too streaky tonight. Hot one minute, cold then next. If they stayed consistent, they'd made it a close ballgame. 13 point win is a trip to the woodshed, because it was more than that at one point, but we slowed down and controlled the tempo of the game. The better team won tonight, no doubt about it. I had all the confidence in WC, a state ranking, and a Mr. Bball finalist doesn't mean anything. It's all about the team, and WC played a team game tonight. Cully will bounce back in the future, but tonight proved don't count your chickens before they hatch. WC is underrated it seems, but we opened eyes tonight. Good game.

There's nothing left to say, but "always next year." Eat your crow lol. Good season from Cully though.
