X-TREME Loco, It is very easy to figure out how is going to win before the Bradley Central Vs Cleveland Game began. I would bet all my money on Bradley Central. And the Rhea County Coaching Staff Knows what teams are going to be in what bracket if they win or lose before the game is played. Rhea County KNEW BEFORE THE GAME Bradley Central WAS GOING TO BEAT Cleveland AND THE RHEA COUNTY STAFF KNEW IF THEY BEAT MCMINN COUNTY THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLAY Bradley Central BEFORE THE CAMPIONSHIP. SO RHEA TOOK THEIR CHANCES ON Bradley Central WINNING AND LOST THE MCMINN COUNTY GAME ON PUPOSE........IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE LOCO...THE RHEA COUNTY STAFF IS NUTS Sat Nov. 22 Riverdale Hall of Fame W 70-56 Thu Nov. 27 Denham Springs, La Forrest City, Ark.

NO CoachRO you are a pathetic person! Coach RO Stated: "If anyone saw the Cleveland game in the district they will tell you that Cleveland got all the calls in the last 2 min. of the game. I feel like we were cheated but I didn't get on here and complain, I just continued to support my team. People try to say that we recruit and everything. that is very untrue." Coach RO, if anyone is PATHETIC it is you! READ the above statement you wrote because all you do is make EXCUESSES Also no wonder you are not mad, Cleveland wins and are now out of the tournament picture but they beat you in the district, I would not be mad either..... Coach RO, or should I say Coach Steve Crowder, RHEA County did RECRUIT Floyd and Cooper, MY SON PLAYS ON THE RHEA COUNTY TEAM......... RHEA County Lost to Cleveland in the District and that should be the END to Rhea County's Tournment ACTION for the 2003-2004 Year But the coaching staff at Rhea County PURPOSELY lost to McMinn County so they would not have to play Bradley Central in the Regional until the finals.......... The TSSAA needs to REFORM the ENTIRE Basketball Tournament System in Tennessee

HEY XTREM-LOCO, Since Rhea County LOST to McMinn County in the 2nd Round of the District Tournament, THAT PUT Rhea County OPPOSITE of Bradley Central in the Regional Tournament Bracket THAT IS WHY, RHEA COUNTY let McMinn County beat them in the District Tounament so Rhea Conuty could AVOID Bradley Central in the Region Tournament UNTIL the Championship Game.................

This thread is supposed to be about the game. Let's stick to that. CoachT

ALSO........................ Rhea County LOST the McMinn County on PURPOSE to avoid Bradley Central until the Region Championship Tournament REFROM by the TSSAA is a must in-order for the Tennessee State Basketball Tournament to be LEGIT with some credibility at the present moment the TSSAA State Basketball Tournament is a three ring circus Rhea County Lost to Cleveland 58-57 in the 5AAA District in the Second Round. After Rhea County Lost they PURPOSELY>Lost to McMinn County to AVOID Bradley Central UNTIL the Championship of the Region. Bradley Central BEAT McMinn County 34-85 in the District and Rhea KNOWING they could not beat Bradley Central PUPOSELY let McMinn beat them in the Constellation Game of the District My son came home after the McMinn County Game and said the coaching staff purposely threw the game to avoid Bradley Central until the Championship Game because EVEN IF RHEA LOSES THE REGIONAL FINIAL THEY KEEP ADVANCING MY POINT is; The TSSAA needs to REFORM the District, Regional, and Sub State Tournaments in-order to make the Tennessee State Playoff LEGIT........... Rhea County's 2-3 Tournament Record at the current moment should not be tolerated and those WHO WIN SHOULD BE REWARDED THOSE WHO LOSE SHOULD BE SENT HOME WHAT KIND OF TOURNAMENT IS THE TSSAA RUNNING?

Thank You Liberty, I AGREE, THOSE WHO WIN DISERVE TO ADVANCE, THOSE WHO THROW GAMES PUPOSELY TO AVOID COMPETITION NEED TO GO HOME

Also I would protest if I was Oakland and lost

Also I would protest if I was Oakland and lost to Rhea..............

I am not bitter towards no-one X-tremeLoco, I am just trying to get members opinions on the TSSAA State Tournament. When a team is 3-3 and makes it to the final 8 teams of the State Tournament, something is way way wrong with the system..............

Rhea County Basketball is 2-3 in the TSSAA Tournament and if Rhea County Wins the next game (Sub-State) Rhea will be playing in the State Tournament at MTSU. That is WRONG, what kind of credibility does the Tennessee State Basketball Tournament have? _____________________________________________ Rhea County is 2-3 in the TSSAA Tounament Game 1 -Rhea County Lost to Cleveland 57-58 Game 2 -Rhea County Lost to McMinn Co. 86-90 Game 3 -Rhea County Beat Brainerd 69-68 Game 4 -Rhea County Beat Cleveland 61-56 Game 5 -Rhea County Lost to Bradley Central 50-55 Game 6 -Rhea Conuty Plays Oakland in the Sub-State _____________________________________________ Why is Rhea County still playing in the TSSAA Tournament? Cleveland DISERVES to be playing becasue Cleveland beat Rhea County in Game 1 in the District! 2 wins and 3 losses, come on give me a break, the TSSAA needs to reform the state basketball tournament Tennessee's Tournament process is pitiful because the State Champion can technically lose 3 games and still advance to win the Championship. The TSSAA need to have tournament REFORM.............. ______________________________________________ Rhea County LOST the McMinn County on PURPOSE to avoid Bradley Central until the Region Championship Tournament REFROM by the TSSAA is a must in-order for the Tennessee State Basketball Tournament to be LEGIT with some credibility at the present moment the TSSAA State Basketball Tournament is a three ring circus Rhea County Lost to Cleveland 58-57 in the 5AAA District in the Second Round.

Bradley Central BEAT McMinn 85-34 which is 51 point win........ How in the heck did McMinn BEAT Rhea County 96-90? WHO is actually coaching Rhea County? I have heard of bad nights but please give me a break! Also that game was the second round of the District and Rhea Should have been eliminated from the TSSAA Tournament. Tennessee's Tournament process is pitiful because the State Champion can technically lose 3 games and still advance. The TSSAA need to have tournament REFORM..............

Coach RO, Rhea County Lost 2 games in the District and should have been sent home along time ago and never have gotten a chance to eve play in the Regional Tournament, give me a break on Rhea County deserving to be in the Sub-State

WHY should Rhea Conunty be able to recruit players all over the state BUT The rest of the High Schools in the State of Tennessee have to follow the rules that recruiting is illegal? I think this is an issue that needs to be address on the message board! Question, did Rhea County really recruit 7 players the past 2 years?
