Thought it was a great accomplishment by these three schools -- Region Champs in both basketball and football in the same school year. As far as I can tell they are the only schools in the state (other than DII) to claim this honor. As Coach Jeff Chatman, Head Football Coach at East Robertson said, "It's a good year to be an Indian." Or a Tornado, or a Mustang!! East Robertson has 7 football players on their basketball team, 3 who are starters. What about the others?

East Robertson beat Nashville Christian tonight for the FOURTH time -- 65 -42 -- to win the Region 5A championship. Robertson County gave the team bus a police escort from the county line all the way to East High where they were greeted by their GREAT fans!! Way to go Indians -- next stop OUR HOME COURT!!!

East Robertson defeated Nashville Christian tonight to take the 10A Tournament, 65 - 54. Hard fought game -- 24-23 at half, tied again at the end of the third. Fosnes led East with 21 points and Givens had a great game for NCS, 24 pts I think. East played great defense -- Carlos Hudson, Tico Andrews & Jacob Fuqua really took away the open 3-pointers. Congrats EAST -- Champs AGAIN!!

Runningwild -- please don't come on here and try to stir up trouble for East. Voldad and other NCS posters, I think if you check Runningwild's posts you'll see that he/she is a Heritage fan. Sorry about that.

Voldad -- got your East's confused there!! East Lit played Houston Co, won by 11. East Robertson beat Montessori 55-43. East Lit won the coin flip Friday night to get the #1 seed. Thursday's matchups will be East Lit - NC, East Robertson -McEwen. Congrats on your win -- see ya in Clarksville.

Just a clarification "princess" -- the district tournament began last night 2/17/06 with a play-in game between Clarksville Academy & Houston County. Maybe that's why the CA director wanted to have the meeting on Wednesday? All district games were supposed to be complete by Friday.

Thanks Voldad for the nice comments on our team! As a mom we like to hear our kids are showing good sportmanship. Tough game for you all to lose, I know -- we've had a couple of heartbreakers like that in the last two years as well. Also I agree with your comments elsewhere about the WHH-East Lit game rescheduling. Not really fair - we've all had kids sick in big games. Good luck to your team in the districts, except if we have to play ya' again!!!

East Robertson beat Nashville Christian tonight, 55-53 to take the co-championship in District 10A. Way to go Indians!

Oh come on Catfish -- I think at the point that East cut the lead to 4 points we had as good a chance of winning as Sycamore did. Our leading scorer coming out of the game with 4 fouls right at that point took that chance away however. And we should have won at East -- our defense took away your shooters uncontested shots. You guys always act like you were "just playing badly" whenever anyone plays you close -- maybe that had something to do with East playing well.

Actually Heritage won in December at the buzzer -- then East beat them at Heritage in January AND in the District Tournament. Then East went on to beat McEwen for the Tournament Championship.

If we are still on the same pattern despite the changes in district makeup, region tourney should be at Clarksville since last year the region was at DCA (District 9).

Thanks for the edit, Bighurt -- way to show what your made of, sleepy1212. Just one comment -- if the hit on Carlos was "legal", why did the DCA player get called for a block in the back? The sideline doctor said he was surprised he wasn't ejected, it could have been a serious injury. P.S. Who's picture is on the front page of Coach T as Region Champs? ERHS!!!

Tico Andrews -- East Robertson

Divepix says: "CPA gets the ball back and is driving again when they get a penalty in ER's territory after a good run, so it stalls the drive. They punt and down the ball on ER's 4. CPA plays great defense, but Tico reverses field after being stopped on a run and runs about 80 yards before being pushed out of bounds. ER's Hudson scores on a sweep after a penalty and it appears CPA was going to hold. 14-0 ER and that's the halftime score. CPA kicks off and holds ER, forcing a punt. Bad snap that eventually rolls out of the end zone for a safety. 14-2 ER. CPA gets ball after safety and scores on a nice drive. 14-9 ER. CPA gets the ball after the safety at about the 50, but just cannot generate any big plays and on 4th down, the CPA receiver appears to be interfered with on a well thrown pass that would have been first down, but the refs don't call it. I didn't have a great look at it, but the CPA receiver was very upset that there was no call made." It was really a great high school game and credit needs to be given to CPA's defense. They were the best we've seen this year, no doubt. But if you are going to start whining about penalties, don't leave out the ridiculous fair catch call on CPA's drive to score their first touchdown. Without that call CPA doesn't score on that drive. Everyone in the stands and on the field saw that the receiver was BOTH out of bounds and not in control of the ball. Channel 2 showed the play on their late night show -- it was a terrible miss by the ref and both announcers on Channel 2 said as much. As for the pass interference in the 4th quarter, my opinion is if they missed that then it got evened out by the interference penalty called on Carlos Hudson in the first quarter. He hit the receiver as he was catching the ball, not before, but got called for the penalty anyway. Also the score at half was ER 22 - CPA 9. Give ER some credit -- we have a team which has beat everyone's expectations, except maybe their own! Good luck CPA against Goodpasture. Your coach was a great example after the game.

East wins an all time classic game, 49-46. Great game by all the guys. Tico Andrews was awesome both throwing and running; Carlos Hudson's kickoff return for a touchdown right after Goodpasture had scored on a punt return was probably the key to the game; Tyler Fosnes caught for over 140 yards and a huge third down conversion to set up the winning touchdown. Chase Cervantes, Labronce Dowlen, Desmond Payne . . . a long list of great plays. And especially, the defense . . . they held a tough Goodpasture team when they had to. What a great game all around. After last's weeks disappointment in the overtime loss to Jo Byrns - - this felt so good!! Congratulations East.
