Maybe I should have worded it different, but I meant a win in both of their last two.

they dont have to win both to make the playoffs. Two Region wins COULD get in a three way tie (PF, Gibbs, Rutledge or Union). PF wins tie breaker with best overall record. But with that said they HAVE to win tonight to have a chance (A win gives Gibbs 3, PF could only get to 2) and only winning both guarantees them a spot.

Basketball did have a 6 quarter rule, but has been changed this year. I believe some coaches were playing JV games with two 16 minute periods, where players were technically only playing in 6 periods. TSSAA abolished the rule.

So, because some coaches were cheating they changed the rule to help them out?

That makes a lot of sense.

here is my take on this:

 

But I don't agree that you can lose 4 times in the basketball state tournament and still be State Champs...that is a joke.

 

You can lose only 3 times in basketball (district semis, district finals, region finals)

The only difference in volleyball is the district semis, but what about pool play. How many times could you end up losing and still win the volleyball state title. A few more than basketball.

I think that only 2 should make it out of district (in every sport); if you can't finish in the top two in your district then you don't deserve to go to the state. Taking more teams just waters down the tournament and the importance of making it.

At our rules meeting they did say the libero had to have her regular team jersey (the one that would match other players) on the bench to show officials.  A reason wasn't given, but that is the way I understood it.

The same was said at our meeting. It was held at Webb. Libero had to have their regular game jersey with them and be able to produce it if asked by an official. Maybe it was just a mix up, but that is definately what was said.

Congrats to Lipscomb, this was one of the best high school baseball teams I have ever seen. Also, congrats to PF on a wonderful season, hope to see you back next year.

How about FRESHMAN Bradley Harveston going 6 1/3 and getting the win 7-4 for Pigeon Forge.

So you're saying that it only applies during tournaments and not during the regular season?  I'll check out the TSSAA website.  Thanks!

Home team wears light colored jersey, visitor wears dark, this could be changed if both teams agree(similar colored jerseys. Starting in either 06 or 07 the home team will be required by TSSAA to wear white jerseys.

Congrats to CG and all of Tues. winners. CG was the better team last night and played with more intensity and heart than they did in the first two meetings. Congrats to PF on a wonderful year. Tough to lose 6 seniors and respond the way you did.

pv, you seem to be the only person on this board that has negative comments, grow up and learn how to support your team without bashing 15, 16, 17 year old KIDS. Remember these young men work very hard and sacrifice a lot in order to compete and represent their communities in high school athletics.

Thanks bball 35 for the positive comments

As for the upsets HVgal, I don't think there is any such thing in 2AA. If you have followed all year, you would know that 1-8 in this league are about as equal as any district can be.

Once again, Congrats to all and good luck to 2AA in the Region.

Was that the worst officiating you have ever seen? Can you believe they gave Allen a technical. I thought we had bad officials in our area, but man those guys take the prize.

Yeah, they decided to throw that technical during the girls game. Oh, well at least we came out with a win. Sweep of Seymour both boys and girls is nice.

PF beat county rival Seymour last night @ Seymour in a great game 58-54. Andrews was too much to handle pouring in 24, DeWyse added 20 for the Tigers. Great non-conference win on the road.

What number did PF draw? We've seen that Rutledge has 1, SG has 3 and C-D has 7.

PF drew #2

Does anyone know the order of the tie breaker for the district.  I know Rutledge is #1 but I think CG is #7 and I think WG is #9.  not sure on these though.  Can anyone find out?

825551677[/snapback]

Pigeon Forge has #2. I don't know about the rest though. Union Co. girls coach is the district coordinator she should have this info.

DeWyse was unbelievable!!! He had 46 and sat out the last 3:30. PF was up 27 when the starters were pulled. Great game.

Tiger fans how important is the game to P.F. with C.D.? Do they have something to prove by knocking off the number one team? Or are the Tigers just glad to be back in the race? What is their approach to this game mentally? Will this game hurt them if they lose or will they bounce right back and be the same tough team they are now? How excited are the Tiger fans about this game? How about jgarrison are you fired up? Give us some thoughts and input into Tiger land at this point in the season?

We are very excited about the game. A win keeps us in the hunt for the district title. We will still need some help, but it is still possible. We are focused and staying hungry, not satisfied. At the same time we do realize it is a tough season and our main focus is on playing our best every night and preparing for the district tournament. After all this is a tournament sport and with the parity in this league, I am not sure how much seeding will matter.

They have the stats you want for boys basketball. I don't know why they don't have it for girls. You might want to email the TSSAA to see if they have it and it is just not on the website. If it is something they have not kept for girls bball, then maybe they will start. Sorry I can't help you anymore than that.

TSSAA website has link for state records. Individual and team.

Does anyone know the remaining district schedule for some of the top teams. PF has GP, @CC, C-D, @WG, and SG left in the district. Tough stretch run that starts on fri.

GP beat Union by 1 in OT. Great game, GP played without Nicely and trailed the entire game until 4 min left in 4th. Voyles made a tough shot with about 6 sec left to take the lead in OT. Union desperation shot came close but no cigar. Once again, you better be ready to play every night!

PF beat Seymour 59-45 last night. Great game, PF down 7 scored 32 in the fourth quarter to get the win. DeWyse had a school record 34, 19 in the fourth. PF is off until Fri when we host GP.

District tournament is at M. East. The Region is at Unicoi. That is a long way to travel for Region. I think next year we should make them drive to the Gap or Claiborne.

Digital Scout is excellent and can be used on palm pilot or a pc. I think the web site is digitalscout.com

Allen DeWyse from Pigeon Forge

Region is at Unicoi Co.

DeWyse is the best guard in the district, hands down. Crockett is the most versatile player in the district. Sauceman is the best inside player in the district and Brim and Phelps are the 1A and 1B of point guards.
