Congratulations to Chris Grimes of LaVergne. He's going to Tennessee Tech. Chris was an outstanding talent for the Wolverines and by all accounts and very good kid.

Bill Robinson at Watertown. He's in his third tenure as head caoch.

Paige McFarlin from Mt. Juliet had 20 the other night. She can shoot and is hard to defend. Didn't play much before the holidays due to a hip injury. Keep an eye on her.

First round pairings and game times:

Mt. Juliet vs. Blackman Thursday at 10 AM; Oakland vs. Hunters Lane at 1 PM.

Moore Co. vs. Lebanon at 4 PM; Smyrna vs. McGavock at 7 PM.

12-27 2nd round: MJ-Blackman winner vs. Oakland-HL winner at 4 PM; Losers play at 10 AM. Moore Co.-LHS winner vs. Smyrna McGav. winner at 7 PM; Losers play at 1 PM.

Girls finals Saturday (12-28) at 7 PM / consolation game (?)

Does anyone have a bracket w/ game times for the Smyrna Christmas Tournament?

Anyone have a copy of the bracket, or at least the first round pairings?

It it just me or are a bunch of fouls being called in these early games. I check the box scores and see teams shooting 35 FT's and three guys fouling out. Are the refs trying to make some kind of point. This isn't much fun to watch.

Who did the surgery?

Senior Adam Tomlinson had 34 Tuesday as Friendship defeated Monterey 59-45. He had three 3-pointers in the first quarter and 20 of Friendship's 25 points at the half.

There's great balance in 7AAA. You have to be ready to go every night out. Defending the homecourt will be big for everybody. Where is the district tournament this year?

Lebanon hit 19 of 23 free throws Saturday and defeated Clarksville NW 50-37. Megan Thompson had 20 for the Devilettes -- April Thomas had 16 for NW. Lebanon is 3-0, NW falls to 0-5. Lebanon is idle until hosting Cookeville Friday, Dec. 6 in a District 7AAA contest.

Any details on FRA's blowout win over Friendship? Top scorers, did FRA get out early?

Wilson Central gutted out a tough 39-23 victory over Blackman High Tuesday, Nov. 26 in the home opener.

WCHS (3-0) took a 12-5 lead after one quarter and led 24-13 at the half. Central dominated the boards, out-rebounding Blackman 43-18.

Kellie O'Connell led WCHS with nine points. Kelly Gassie added eight and 11 rebounds.

I've got a Wilson A2000 XL and and 2800 (1st base mitt). Both were broken in with shaving cream and a rubber mallet. They are over 15 years old and still in great shape -- I wish I was in as good a shape as those gloves.

19 Blue Devils scored and I think your brother did as well. For some of the details -- check the sports page on www.wilsonworld.com.

Greg is a GA on the UT Lady Vols staff. This was a great opportunity for him -- he wants to eventually get a head coaching job at the college level. Friendship hired boys assistant Jonathan Hemingway to take his place. FCS got a good win Monday night at home over Red Boiling Springs.

Snake:

Coach Hutto is playing three teams (15 guys). I saw them in the jamboree last Thursday and it makes you dizzy. They are pushing the ball every chance they get and are defending all over the floor. I think the district is going to be tough as usual -- I'm hearing good things out of Blackman. How is school and hoops going for you?

Turner was the best back I saw all season. He got tough yards and never took a loss. He's got plenty of speed and as far as his size goes -- I never saw anyone get a clean shot on him. Someone will take a chance on him and come up with quite a find.

Boyd Christian led FCS 18-0 at the half; score still 18-0 with 4:33 to go in the third qtr.

QB Justin Gaines accounted for all 6 TD's Friday as Friendship defeated Whitwell 42-15. He scored on runs of 59, 59 & 21 -- and threw for scores of 10, 48 and 98. The last two of which went to Adam Tomlinson. The 98 was a fade out of his own endzone -- Tomlinson went up and got it and out ran the defender. Gaines rushed 16 times for 201, completed 5-of-10 for 188, O interceptions. FCS 8-3, Whitwell 6-5. FCS at 10-1 Boyd Buchanan next week.

Please -- tell me her size and what position she plays.

Josh Stringfellow of Beech kicked a 50-yarder earlier this season against Hendersonville (on Oct. 4).

How big is she -- and what position does she play?

The Pearl-Cohn vs. Wilson Central game was moved to Thursday. Kickoff is set for 7 PM at Central.

Is kick-off at 7 or 7:30 Friday?
