I wouldn't say this central team is as good as the 02/03 squad. It's definitely the most athletic/biggest team they've had since that year though. There just isn't a go to guy like Wadale on the current team. This year's club has the potential to make a run, but I don't know if they will peak in time. Looking back at the 90's and early 00's, these teams weren't great in the half court. However their pressure defense and its extension into a full court press created endless turnovers which led to quick points. Coach Collie has actually been working with this year's team on the press. In the region 4aaa thread someone said that Columbia has no defense. I think they'll see a different Columbia team than the one they saw earlier in the year.

According to espn.com, espnu is announcing the All-Americans at 6ET next Tuesday.

Wildcatfan, I think it's time to lower your dosage of Politically Correctness. If you are worried about kids yelling "stinks" at a basketball game then it is time for a reality check. When I was in school, I'm pretty sure lawsuits could have been filed for what was said in my student section.

If they go 9-3 and Columbia wins out then Columbia would clinch the district. Columbia would only have 2 district losses while Shelbyville would have 3.

Didn't the Spring Hill contingent say the same thing last year after the Alcoa game? "We've been tested by a great team so we should be able to beat Columbia." That seemed to be the general consensus this year and now this year. hmmm,,

Well it's kind of obvious stressfree and janice believe the coach is subservient to the players. You're wondering what's wrong with kids these days. But let's look at Janay's attitude issues then look at Lateria's and ponder. From what I've gathered Lateria has changed the last few years and become a very egocentric person. I'm going to conclude that she has picked up some bad habits. Hopefully I am wrong and maybe there was just a freak personality clash between player and coach. (even though that would still be a ridiculous excuse) As for Coach Moore's lack of winning with all that talent. Look at what she did in 2002/2003. Took the team to the state. I believe her first year too. After about five horrible years the team miraculously makes it to the state tournament? I think there was some coaching involved. 2004/2005 they had one of the best records in school history of like 33 and 4 or something. On the note about recent scholarship players from Central. There haven't been any huge signings. From the 05 class: Zac Walker Tenn. Tech, Nancy Moore UTC, Alston Enyard Columbia State, Coty String Columbia State. 06: Alex Ross Lehigh, Deandre Bullock Kennesaw, Clint Marable Mercyhurst (Pennsylvania I think), Cam Andrews Martin Methodist. So there have been some kids make it out. The boys program has been down since Collie left and Graves entered. What a horrible hiring. Luckily things are turning around with Murrell.

Yeah, the same thing happened with Armstrong. Guess who Owens has been living with for a while now? Yep, Armstrong's parents. Maybe there is just a descending attitude problem stemming from the parents.

our student section stinks this year which isnt too fun being that it is my senior year, freshmen year our section was huge and loud. so this year i just give the refs some 'personal' opinion. i just tell him he f***ing stinks. skip all the silly little chants. just cuss them out. havent been thrown out yet, dang it. wow didnt notice till just now that the board edits your message if it uses the vacuum word. talk about some stupid politically correct piece of crap.

should be a blow out. shelbyville will devour the lions. columbia doesn't play defense and runs no offense. they simply come out and play street ball. horrible coaching from graves, sigh, miss coach collie

hm this should just be a fun game. janay will not get a warm welcome home.

well the ut program is a joke because of the horrible coaching, buzz is just as worse as jerry green. neither could handle the players on the team and keep them all disciplined. one of my friends talked to tyler after a game this season and asked him what he would do if buzz left or got fired. well tyler said he was going wherever buzz is...... i mean come on what is this kid thinking, buzz cant coach. i dont understand why tyler would even consider ut

yeah tyler had a few dunks, nothing great. but he did get blocked a few times by guys 5 inches or more smaller than he

hey whats game time for this, id like to come see mt. pleasants boys

yeah columbia played them at memorial during the 1998/99 year. columbia won 61 to 50. columbia's best year in school history with only 2 losses during the year.

does anyone have a roster of tullahoma's girls? at least the starters ,ames and players numbers would be nice

yeah the coach is horrible

i do think he is 2 faced, he acts like a jerk on the court then like a angel with the media. this year with dateline following them, he has been more calm and doesnt get outraged as much and thats just not what ive grown accustomed to seeing from him so its like im not getting my money's worth when i buy a ticket to see their game.

i didnt mean to have a negative effect with the whole having a lot of coaches. i mean you better be good if you have like 8 coaches working with your team. and i was just wondering, when did insel start coaching at Shelbyville and where was he before he went there? just curious

yeah i said 'just about every school' which doesnt mean every school. and White Station is the reason why i didnt say every school plays like that. im not stupid. and yeah ive seen most memphis schools play and they do play street ball.

columbia only loses a guard that comes off the bench. they also have a few girls that are inneligble this year that will be playing next year so they will be deeper next year. it should interesting in district 8AAA.

and when you have a few coaches, it usually helps

well insel might be a good coach, i personally wouldnt want to play for the guy because he is 2faced. but the last time i looked down the Shelbyville bench, they had enough coaches to fill all of the head coaching jobs that were vacant at the end of the nfl season.

i agree that memphis sends great players to division one schools, guys and girls. but just about every memphis school dooesnt play as a team and play organized, its like the and 1 mixed tape tour. and thats why yall get beat when yall play teams that actually play the game of basketball, this holds true in guys and girls basketball

what does everyone think about the columbia and Craigmont game?

yeah its really not fair to say that Shelbyville wont be any good next year eventhough they are losing all of their talent. having said that, we all know that insel will go out and recruit and bring in a new team that again is ranked preseason u.s. today no. 1 in the nation. i mean gosh guys, how does the guy do it
