I happen to know the story of what happened and I do not want the kids from Lewis County to get a bad name. Apparently some words were said between some guys from Waverly and Lewis and things got out of hand. It had absolutely nothing to do with the game or the student section from Lewis County. ONCE AGAIN IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME. The students for Lewis helped out a lot last night and their efforts should not be tainted by some guys who wanted to be tough after the game. Please do not let this be a representation of Lewis County fans.

Giles County tried their best to give Lewis County the game last night but Lewis just didn't have enough steam. Lewis was down only 13 at halftime after a not very good half from Giles, but it Lewis just couldn't keep it up for another half. Tyler played well and so did Coffey. Tyler's shot was off this game which kept it closer than imagined. I liked the Classie Freddy Blassie touch though. That was great. Everyone knows of Coach Holt's antics so it's no real surprise here. I don't regret ditching the Orange Bowl to go watch the game though.

I don't really see how Lewis County should be that tough. We play in the same district and I can't get where all this talent is going to show up from. Who are the three pitchers who hit 85? I know the big kid, Sublett I believe, did it but who are the other two? I never saw anyone last year who was close. And pitching is great and all but it's not going to win every game for you unless you've got a good offense behind it and with the inexperience you're talking about, I don't know where that offense will come from. The Red Sox, Braves and Cubs last year all had outstanding bullpens but all failed to win when it came to crunch time. Marshall County wins district again, without much difficulty.

How would you not call that game an upset? Lipscomb was defending state champion. Lipscomb was undefeated. Lipscomb was ranked number 1 in state. Huntington wasn't any of those things. Nobody I know picked Huntington to win. NOBODY. It was an upset, plain and simple. But it was a great one so congratulations. Ya'll deserved it.

Curfman tossed one of the glass on a fast break to be exact katsup. On the fan side of things, it was awesome to see an oop off the backboard to Sparkman. On the basketball side of things, there was about 2 minutes left and Lewis County was only up 6 so it really wasn't a very smart play. If it had messed up, which I thought would happen because Sparkman had already tried to dunk and got blocked by the rim, then Wayne County could have picked up some momentum. But it worked out so I guess everything's fine. Great game to both teams. Justin Bryant was awesome.

I have to agree. The 97' Linden team was good, but the Linden team prior to integration and everything has got to be the best Tennessee has ever seen. Coach Eugene Grinder, Albert Ellison. Absolutely incredible story of that team.
