what's up mr. bigster, LOL...LOL..LOL we haven't chatted in a while. i knew that my comment would draw your attention. you are probably right. lake deserved to win, because they played hard and they played as a team. middle did not play well down the stretch. it was h**l on coach starks all year long, but especially the last three weeks of the season. the team was not playing well, because certain players were jealous of others. to be specific, the kendrick kid#34 or #32. he felt that everything should revolve around him. his father and coach starks had words several times. coach starks complained about kendrick being out of shape, lazy and playing weak. he was a team captain, but coach demoted him because he..well let's just say that he and partee have similar attitudes, but i think kendrick's attitude is worse. coach starks was glad and sad to see the season end. he felt his team could have done better if the parents would have allowed the players to play, somewhat like the OCHS situation but worse. for a minute, coach starks was looking to leave middle college. i do not think that he has totally ruled out leaving, but i think that since kendrick is leaving he will return. if he leaves, middle college will struggle. he masked a lot of middle college's weaknesses. in the last game, the players just could not handle the pressure of the big game, but that makes them stronger for next year. if the coach comes back! as for peabody, they are clicking at the right time. i hope that they do well. i wish them the best.

redandwhiteforever, this is between mr bigster and i. you don't know what we are talking about.

i do not think they will win it, but i hope that they do. it will give us a lot to talk about. lake county beat them three times and middle college beat them twice. middle college beat lake county two out of three times and when lake county beat middle college, they shot 45 free throws to middle college's 20. lake county won by 1 point (middle college hit a 3 at the buzzer to make it that margin). point is, if lake county claims to be the best if peabody wins, then middle college has a claim also. before we jump off on any discussion, let peabody do what it can.

he said that he had a prior engagement, so that is why i did not register him. i talked to him about it today. if we have coaches asking about him, then i will see if i can persuade him to attend, because we need all the exposure we can get. especially if it is this positive. Romeo Lucchesi 6'4 g/f junior. register him and i will talk to his mother today about it. i am quite sure we can get him there.

what about daren currie (#13) from middle college! he won the mvp of district 16a, albeit with controversy. however, he is a very talented and smart player.

gomab2, this is coach starks from middle college. i left one player off our list. his name is listed below: raymond brady 5'9 guard junior thanks

if coach sisco leaves peabody, i know of a recent coach of the year who would leave memphis if the situation is right! he would be a good fit too!

gomab2, Here is a list of my guys. i hope that they do well. see you next week. James Buntyn Junior 5’10 guard Daren Currie Junior 6’5 forward All-district (MVP), All-region Antwoine Todd Senior 6’3 guard All-district James Webb Junior 5’10 guard Jamelle Owens Junior 6’ guard Jeremy Williams Junior 6’1 forward Steve Johnson Junior 6’2 forward Walter Kendrick Senior 6’4 forward Brandon Boyd Junior 5’10 guard

gomab2, i am the boys coach at middle college high school (memphis) and i have about six players who are interested in attending the showcase next weekend. they said that they were not able to get online to register and they feel the deadline may have passed them by. is there anything they can do to ensure that they have a spot there?

it is going to be a good one though.

it was a hall of champions game, which does not count against either teams record. that is why it is posted that way.

westtn, it is the match-up that should have taken place in the 16a tournament. lake county won it, but they knew that they were not the best team coming out of 16a. middle college is the only team that has beaten everyone in 16a twice. lake county has to beat middle college on a neutral court. lake county played so hard when the game was in lake county and they still could not come out on top. the pressurre is on lake county to win. remember, lake county is the favorite to win the state. that ten man rotation does not work against middle college. you aint playing peabody. middle college aint scared of lake county. you better make some adjustments, because if you think that jacking up those 3's will help you win, then you can starting preparing for the next season. middle college by 12.

LOL LOL they really like coming to lake county. we are going to miss it because of the district changes. the mvp was a stunner. currie has been trememndous all year for middle college. he always keeps his mind in the game. doaks should have received the mvp,but what he did in the lake county game hurt his team. they have to play the top seed in 15a. if they can win it, i think they may run the table. i was surprised that partee did not play. some of the picks on the team were somewhat suspect. tates from halls should have made it. that was the biggest snub. we will all support each other in the region next week. we want to make it the 16a semifinals at the region 8a tournament.

you went back and found this post! you got me! i am humble. you did make me eat my words. i really hope that we play each other again, because i would like to have the last word. for now, you have the right to gloat about the victory. halls played harder and understood the importance of the game. our guys just thought that they would walk right into the finals. hopefully it is a wake-up call and we play better against peabody and whoever we have in the region. i really hope you guys play well tonight, it is good to see players work as a team. no hard feeelings, past or present.

yeah it was somewhat unbelievable. halls played hard and middle just thought they would breeze through to the champ game. the season is not over. this lose makes it more interesting in the region. we will come back from the halls loss. they won it fair and square.
