According to today's Knoxville News Sentinel, former coach Jeff Foster has been arrested and charged with three counts of statuatory rape. Allegedly, he had an inappropriate relationship with a player who was 17 at the time. I couldn't believe my eyes! I almost dropped the paper! This is a very sad statement on modern society and hopefully all this will be proven to be not true. A major black eye for an excellent program! The article can be found at knoxnews.com in the local section.

Why in the world are we even discussing this? The kids are 10 years old! Who can project what they are going to be like when they get to middle school much less in high school. Just let them play ball and forget about all of this "All State" crap.

Even JackSparrow has to say WOW to this one!

Like you predicted on an earlier thread bratman, they are getting close to 20.

I think the shot clock in M.S. and H.S. would be awesome. I have been to many AAU tournaments and the pace of the game is sooooooooooooo much more fan friendly.

Ellis has

After looking back over this thread I can't say that I have seen one attack on the girls. It is amazing how the Maverick Volleyball Mafia carries such a chip on their shoulders. No wonder they have such a bad rap across the state. I hope the kids at AC are successful before they graduate -- they deserve it. However, it's not gonna happen this year.

You have to be somewhere like South Dakota to think AC will win over Stone Memorial.

and farther

20 just gets farther and farther away

You have to be joking or trying to stir something up. They are a good group of girls but if you stop Oakes who scores any points? They scored 43 last night at CAK and Oakes had 25 that means the rest of them scored 18. Last time I checked 18 points wouldn't win a middle school game. I wish them luck but I truly believe it will be a long season.

Is this a joke or are you for real bratman? You actually believe that AC will won't be pushed until the region finals. If Ellis wins 10 games then my hat is off to the man and he should be named coach of the year.

Tradition and History? What exactly are you talking about? Maverick Volleyball! Tradition and History died with the loss of Joe Carson. Like him or hate him you have to respect the man, he wins! The old Lake City and Norris High Schools have more tradition than AC possibly ever will.

Who is Steve and why do you keep calling me that? I have no affiliation with Steve nor have I ever professed to be Steve. But I did have a friend once who was named Steven but he never liked to be called Steve. I wonder what ever happened to him? Like I have said many times before, there is only one Jack Sparrow. Get your facts straight before you try to insult someone, because the insult just falls on deaf ears.

Faith should have went to Webb School! Enough said!

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black, Mr. 947 Posts?

Looking objectively at the talent, since I don't have a maverick in the fight as some do, I wouldn't use the term power program just yet. The four teams they have beaten on this young season have been perennial doormats for the last few years. William Blount is the closest to a winning team of the three and their saving grace is Angela P. The two girls from AC that you mentioned have barely scored 20 points together in a game much less by themselves. Without Rodd, who by the way scored 25% of the points at Knox Halls, they don't contend for anything. It's too early to judge anything. When the grind of the season starts and they continue to win we can start to mention winning seasons. When the AC starts traveling consistently to Sectionals and winning Districts we'll talk power program. thumb Have a nice day! JGARRISON The AC program has been in turmoil for years, since the departure of a truly outstanding coach, Coach Carson. The program has lacked leadership and direction. People are very sensitive when it comes to discussing anything to do with Lady Mav basketball. Hopefully, everthing is on the mend and winning basketball games can move back to the forefront.

Once again, another example of Anderson County sports at its finest! Thanks to all of you who posted for showing such class within the AC family.

From what I know, winning alone won't keep them happy! I'm still not convinced they're gonna win! No one yet, has brought any hard evidence to the table. Why will they win? Just because they were successful at their respective middle schools and in freshman ball, doesn't mean that there will be success at the high school level. The jury is still out! If you take out Rodd, the rest averaged less than 25 pts a game combined and the TO to Assist ratio wasn't too promising. I hope they prove me wrong, but just I don't see it yet.

What do you base this BOLD prediction on? Looking at last year's results the Lady Mavs barely had a winning record against sub 500 teams. I'd be jumping up and down if they win 15. There is only one basketball. How do you get enough shots for Rodd, Worthington, Bryant, Dupree, Forbes and Ellis? How do you keep them all happy?
