It had to happen sooner or later. But where are all the 7AA people? All their teams are gone. Loretto is gone. Who will win the Gold Ball this year in AA. Looks like of the 16 teams remaining, the favorites would have to be Westview, Walker Valley, and the winners of the Austin East/Oliver Springs and Cheatham County/Harpeth games.

The Wizards of Id are really reaching when they are celebrating a win over Knox Catholic!!!

A couple teams not mentioned above that could make some noise are Jefferson County and Walker Valley. Walker Valley is a top 10-15 AA team as is Jeff County in AAA. And of course there's South Greene; Chucky Doak is also playing well. At the risk of offending the westerners, I seriously doubt we will see an all-wilson county championship final. Maybe one, but not both, and you can quote me on that!!

Ballfan, I plan to make as many games as I can; who are you pulling for? and against?

ptc27: If you are a David Crockett fan/player, you got to see up close and personal how good the Trojans are this year. They beat Crockett in the Happy Valley tournament today by about 35 points. A great matchup tommorrow at 5:30 is Elizabethton-Morristown West. Can the AA cyclones stay with the AAA powerful Trojans??

Patriot, dream on. You better worry about your Lady Pats. Why would you be pulling so hard against Elizabethton. We didnt pour it on you too bad in our scrimmage. Your saving grace is that AAA District One is down this year. Cloudland beats Tenn High; Hampton beats Science Hill; Volunteer beats you guys; Daniel Boone may be the only good team. Krichunaka: Now what you got to say babeeeee?? Elizabethton 68 Cloudland 26.

tournament is a round-robin type affair with play on wednesday, friday and saturday.

got to see my first live basketball of the season tonight at Sullivan North, so it follows that I should make my first Coach T post of the season. Here's what I saw: Johnson County looks like they have improved their overall game and shooting. They beat a watered down Daniel Boone tonight. Granted Boone played everyone, second teamers and JV more than starters, but the Longhorns look like an improved team. Happy Valley beat Sullivan East in a fairly close one, although HV had control pretty much the whole way and played alot more reserves than East. HV was playing with Powell who was injured. The young HV guards played well, as did Dugger and the posts. East is improved. I believe they scrimmage Elizabethton thursday. Hampton got beat by Sullivan South, although it was close in the end. South pretty much controlled this game and substituted freely. Hampton seemed to go with their starters most of the way. Elizabethton blasted Dobyns Bennett. The game was never close. Elizabethton went up by double digits early and never looked back. Both teams played everyone, substituting freely, sometimes five at a time. A downer for DB was a late injury to their talented guard Horton, who appeared to turn an ankle. Unicoi was playing Tennessee High when we left and had the early lead. Significant was that Unicoi's two top guns were in street clothes. Is Fisher playing possum or are Weaver and Sparks really not able to play? Weaver was on crutches. I had heard that Sparks had turned an ankle last week and she appeared to be walking around fine. Anybody know the deal on Weaver's injury? The freshman post Maynor looked good for Unicoi scoring their first two baskets. Unicoi, when healthy, will be real good. Science Hill was playing the nightcap against either North or Volunteer. Sullivan Central played the early game. Anybody else feel free to add their two cents here.

Why did Chuck go to Twin Springs? Did he move? Whats the deal?

I know Elizabethton and the Greene Co. teams are in it, but who else? This tourney usually fields 16 quality teams from all over the state.

Didnt South Greene lose just one player from last years team? They have the Waddell twins back and will be tough and well coached. What did Pigeon Forge lose from last years team? I know they have the two guards and big post back. In District One, Elizabethton should be good with Baughman and Redd back for their senior years. Unicoi will be tough as well with Sparks and Weaver back for their senior years. Actually Unicoi has five seniors that may start. Sullivan Central will be improved as they return everyone.

You Unaka people sure have thin skin. I have re-read the article and it actually compliments the Rangers on their season so far. It says that the fact that the Rangers are undefeated is a supurb accomplishment and says alot about the character and willingness to work hard habits of the team. How in the heck is that derogatory??? Me thinks that the Rangers are scared that the premise of the article is correct, that is Cloudlands tough schedule will serve them well tommorrow night and the Rangers may be in for another trip to the woodshed. Good luck to both Carter County teams tommorrow night. I will be pulling for the Rangers though. Cloudland deserves a beating after what they did to Unaka last year.

What were the scores of the PF-CD games this year? Cyclones will play inspired and have a scorer the likes of which I dont think PF has seen this year.
