Good points, but those teams will also have to match-up with a Howard team that is quick, athletic, aggressive, and they all play bigger than they are (and they are not small by any means). I'll definitely be in the building if any of those match-ups take place.

Thanks Terop. I'll follow him as closely as possible.

I'm interested to know how tall Terrico White is and how he's progressing. I taught him in 5th grade @ Keystone Elem., but have since moved to another city. I still like to follow my former students. Thanks!

I think you're referring to the FCA Tournament. From my understanding, Austin-East (Knoxville), Tyner (Chattanooga), and MLK (Nashville) are a few of the teams participating.

Both kids played football. One is a left handed guard & the other is a combo/forward.

Thank everyone for your continued support.

In the past the 3-point contests have been at half-time of the girls' game and between the girls' & boys' game. The dunk contest has been at half-time of the boys game.

Patrick Shennessy (Grace Academy) spelling?

1st of all, I would be slow to say that this situation is indicative of Memphis or the players involved. Emotions were high, and people respond differently when the stakes are so high (perceived or real). I don't know the young men involved, but I don't think it's fair to judge them from this situation. What this situation suggests to me is that the guys have not been exposed to how to handle certain situations appropriately. Memphis has its problems, as do most large metropolitan areas, but kids are not the problem. The problem is that no one tries to "control" them until after their 1st dunk, then everyone wants to "control" them. Parents, Teachers, fans, AAU Coaches, High School Coaches, Alumni, etc. These same stakeholders have to get involved while the child is still dribbling with his mouth not with his hands.

Suggestion, put one together in Knoxville & let's play! We'll see who's got the weaker squad. We're up for it!

Bring it home Grace!

I agree with you volsbigd712. I' ve only seen Humboldt once, but I've seen Grace enough times to know they are a smart & well coached ball team. CHanging defenses every once in a while is good, but Van HOrn will recognize it and get everyone in the set that their supposed to be in to be successful offensively. It will be interesting to see if Humboldt begins to force shots once the air is taken out of the ball, especially if they are down. By the way, who were Humboldts 4 losses to and how did they beat Humboldt.

It was suggested to organizers to have a "LEan Wit It, Rock Wit It" Contest between the girls' and boys' games. Organizers of the Classic voted "NO"! What do the fans think?

Docsix will be watching Grace play for the championship!

New Commitments: Nick Van Horn- Grace Academy, Ladarrius Norman- Howard, Jonathan Craig- Red Bank

Keep your heads up Blue. You've represented your school and community well. Everyone should be as proud!

Excuse me, I can be an idiot sometimes! Go Big Blue!

Beau Brown is an early favorite in both, with Brandon Moon challenging in the 3 point contest. (Only an opinion of course)
