CLINE

Nah man, I was just letting you know that everybody on the Creek doesn't hate living there. Plain and simple. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you over the internet like most people do. There's no need in it honestly.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm pretty happy living in the Creek. One person can't be the voice for an entire community. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Amen to that starman. I'm at the elementary working and reading this right now and I CANNOT believe where this has gone. Coacht never used to be like this.

HAHAHAHA. I love you, you big idiot!

Ok I know I said I wouldn't come on here anymore but just one last one... You call me a loser but you spell "since" like "sinse".. HAHAHAH I love it bro. Have a good day. But you can go edit it now.

I put what I think on the King's other post. Gold ball blah blah blah. It means nothing if you don't have the dignity to put up with losers like the King and all his antics. -Name = Retired. --King, you make me smile with your emotional posts

Well, I'm glad you got all kinds of cars. That makes no big deal to me. Paying for more cars than my father could buy me.. big deal. I'd put my own father up against you in building a car. That takes a little more skill than taking loans out from a bank to pay for whatever it is you drive. Next, I have an all access pass to the restroom anytime I want to go so you need not worry about that. And lastly, I don't care where you come from, Unaka has dominated Cloudland in all aspects until the last year or so. So my question to you is... Why do you take high school basketball so seriously? It's not like you play or have any ties with them at all. Did you even play basketball when you were in your prime (80's)? The only reason I even get on here right now is to see what fools like you write. I think I heard it best when it was said... "CoachT is nothing but a high-tech bathroom wall. Everybody gets on here to write the crap they want to say without it being said in person." I'm retiring this name so here's my goodbyes. Say what you want now because I just realized I'm doing the so-called MATURE thing and not even logging on anymore since you want to meet up with anybody that crosses you to fight them. I think cucry said it best. "Grow up and then maybe we'll talk." Over and out, Mr. Highlander.

I wouldn't give you the time of day to make me winded. Why don't you displace your Roid Rage on somebody who actually gives 2 craps about anything you got to say. I'm out of high school... maybe you should consider telling yourself that too. By the way, I'm at about every Unaka game!!!

I'm not on here crying about anything buddy. I give it to you. You all beat Unaka. Wow, are you wanting some kind of special award or congratulations? I suppose you have taken all your great smack talking from football to basketball because you all have had a decent year and football seems hopeless now. Please tell me what all this bullcrap has to do with Unaka tradition because all your posts say the same thing, somewhat like a broken record! Tradition takes longer than a year to build. When you guys win a few conference championships then you might consider speaking of tradition. Question. Do you like apples? Try winning more than 5 straight conference titles in a row, how you like them apples?

Son, I've seen it. My own two eyes. Its nothing you should hide. Its ok if you are an old man and still relive high school moments. Really, we understand.

And you should find better things to do than write about Unaka's program.. catch my drift, boss?

I think I might have already mentioned this on another thread but King, why are you like 30+ years old and still wear your high school letterman jacket? I must know.

Hey King, you know who I am and I def. know who you are. So let me ask you 2 quick questions... 1) Why are you on a Unaka thread acting like a true classless moron? 2) Why are you 30+ years old and still wear your Cloudland letterman jacket? I mean I'm really just wondering.

Well if you can't tell by my username, this is Derek Cline. I played for Unaka from 2001-2005. I started playing true varsity minutes my sophomore year at point guard under Donald Ensor. I hardly and rarely post on CoachT for a number of reasons... being I'm well out of high school, this seems to be nothing more than a place to poke-fun of kids, and I'm pretty heavy into school so that takes a lot of time. People question the tradition of Unaka on here more than ever now. I'm here to set that straight. Not with hurtful and stupid comments but with things that most people don't see when they're in the stands watching. Unaka Basketball is all about pride, first and foremost. I've never been more proud to be able to walk onto a basketball court in a Unaka uniform. It didn't matter the team. It didn't matter the situation. I was always just happy to play for a program with such high prestige and great background. I played for Donald Ensor who taught me more about the game of basketball than I could have ever learned anywhere else. Yeah, I went to the summer camps and all that jazz but nothing taught me better than old fashioned, get-after-it practices. We never had the best equipment or anything but we got down to buisness with old school basic fundamentals. Sometimes before games, we would go into the gym and run through situations without a basketball. Not to get off the point, Coach Ensor, Coach Thomas, and Coach J taught me the game of basketball in such a perspective that I am currently in school to be a teacher and hopeful coach someday. Tradition... what is tradition? I could hear a million definitions of what it is but what does it mean to you? Playing in front of sell-out crowds that were so loud to the point you couldn't hear yourself think. Being able to walk off the court knowing that I played my butt off gave me a sense of worth-while effort. Winning the state championship my junior year was nice. I mean it was actually great but by no means is that the reason that I loved Unaka tradition. I loved the fact that fans were dedicated and competition always top notch. Some say we are in the easiet conference in Tennessee but I beg that. Teams always brought everything to the table when we played them. You know why? I'll tell you why. Unaka had a reputation that teams wanted to put to shame. That's one of the biggest reasons I don't get on here anymore... I read a post that had some people from Cloudland running all over Unaka this year. Oh well, we aren't having a record-breaking year but that's neither here nor there. Our reputation was being the best and all the teams always wanted a piece to put us down. That's what tradition is to me. Being the most loved and hated program. I hated to write a short novel but it needs to be said. Unaka Basketball will always be in my heart. I bleed maroon. Always will. But the fact that people question one of the most respected programs makes me sick. I played, I know. Ask anybody else that played for Unaka. They wouldn't want it any other way and some people wish they could play for a program this intrigued. If anybody says anything else, they're lying to you. Thanks for your attention. I hope I've gave you a better understanding of what it means to be a Unaka Ranger. -Derek Cline

I won't say either team but somebody better have something on Woodacre. Maybe something like a chain and ball because this kid is BALLIN'!
