True -- she will sign papers Wednesday night, Dec. 3.

This clip is VERY impressive. Best of luck to this young man.

Any details from Tuesday night's win by the Bears in the opening round of the Leroy Wright Tournament? Top scorers for both team, that sort of thing. Thanx.

Boys only game tonight. Big ceremony at intermission recognizing the all the players and coaches from the first scheduled game over four decades ago between then all-black Wilson County High (the Trojans) and all-white Lebanon. Game was played exactly 42 years ago in the same gym.

Saw the MJ - Hillsboro game on Friday and came away VERY impressed with No. 4 Alex Crutcher. He was flying on a very wet field. First snap he went 77 and broke two tackles. Of course Gordon is a stud, but Crutcher gives HHS a very tough 1-2 punch. I heard he's headed to Texas Tech. Another reason why UT's program has fallen -- letting these in-state kids get away. Where is Gordon going? Also -- the Hillsboro kicking game is outstanding. No. 14 was booming kickoffs and supposedly No. 86 hasn't missed a PAT in years.

I remember some years ago they hired an "outsider" to take over at Unicoi County and he did good things there. Louis Thompson was his name and he went on to win a couple of state titles at Lincoln County after leaving Unicoi.

They have closed schools in Hardin County on Friday due to a virus making the rounds. Are any of the football players sick?

I think Monterey had two kids ejected. No 42 / Caleb Miller was one -- he was caught throwing a punch in a pile. Also No. 50 / Jimmy Wilson got the boot. Watertown wrapped up the regular season 6-4. Monterey 2-8.

Final -- MJ 21, Clarksville 7. Mt. Juliet's defense had a couple of big second half stops on fourth down. The Wildcats led 7-0 at intermission, but it was all Bears after intermission.

Two changes so far in Wilson County -- MJ Christian will host Friendship Christian on the 30th; and Mt. Juliet High will host Clarksville Northwest on the 30th.

First round games are tonight -- Monday -- at the higher seeds, right? Is there a standard time or does each school make that decision independently?

2priceless -- heartfelt, classy remarks about the Blue Devils and the rivalry. Coach McDaniels has things going in the right direction at OHS. Best of luck the rest of the way.

Lebanon dominated time of possession and out-snapped Oakland 79-38. LHS had 20 first downs, Oakland 4 -- the first one coming with 1:02 left in the third period. Maynard completed 20-of-42 passes for 229 yards to six different receivers with ZERO PICKS. Lebanon has now won 8 of the last 9 meetings with Oakland.

Yep, she's the youngest of the four Cross sisters. Courtney went to Lipscomb, Candice played softball and ran X-country at Union, No. 3 was a cheerleader and Camille is No. 4 -- outstanding in softball and soccer. Their dad was an option QB at Lebanon and played college basketball at Belmont.

Visitor seating has been expanded some. Getting in and out is always tricky and parking can be a ZOO. There is a three-level parking area on the left just as you enter campus. Best to park there and walk around the school to the stadium. And don't be in a big hurry to get out, there's only one way off the property. Pack something for a late nite snack and hang out at the car waiting for the traffic to clear out.

The Wilson Post is reporting Wilson Central's Jasmine Hassell has verbally committed to theUniversity of Georgia.

You know he's an undertaker -- no kidding. He owns eight suits and drives a restored hearse.

How is No. 33 Brady Earnhardt? I heard he had a concussion. Is he feeling better and what is his status for Rossview? He and his brother (No. 3) are two fine young men.

It was 27-0 early in the second quarter and Mt. Juliet had only snapped the ball three times. Miscues in the kick return game hurt MJ early. Jacob Maynard scored four times and would have had a fifth had he not fumbled into the end zone where Benford fell on it for another LHS score.

Hats off to a patched-up offensive line that allowed Lebanon's (21) Maynard to rush for 201 yards and 2 TDs. Really liked Lavergne quarterback Landon Grooms (No. 6) Just a soph.

Sherlock Holmes and Columbo together couldn't find the stats on that new website.

Who is No. 37 for Trousdale County?

Mt. Juliet's new stadium is scheduled to be open for business Friday, Sept. 19 as Portland comes to town. Here's an interesting note: the open end of the stadium faces a subdivision and has a STEEP drop off behind the endzone. They have erected a net that will be raised to catch the FG's and PAT's so the managers won't have to repel down that embankment to fetch footballs.

Anyone got the score by quarters / stats?

Several of the Wilson County Commissioners own huge tracts of land -- land they would have to cough up additional taxes for if the rate was upped. I think their main interest is keeping $$$ in their own pockets. Kids deserve the opportunity to compete, march in the band, cheer, sing in the choir or act in a play. If the plug is pulled, don't think for a minute that some of the D-2 schools won't be sending buses into Wilson County to cherry pick senior athletes. As I understand it, these kids would be ruled eligible immediately on a hardship basis.
