Freddy Bryant....I was just going to let you know if you worked on you new one handed 3 point shot half as much as you burnt coacht up, you might be unstopable. As far as the team goes, from what I have seen it looks as if Coach Winningham has lost control of his team. Rarely does he ever have his 5 best players in the game at the same time. I really dont know the situation, so there could be good reason why certain players rarely get to play anymore. So hopefully they will get things set straight by tourny time.

Brandon Wright had 13 blocks against Pickett County.

1. Cookeville 2. Crossville 3. York 4. Pickett County 5. White County York and Crossville play Jan. 6th I believe, so this will let us know how these teams stack up against good competion.

Easy lets not get carried away, I mean there is several good players in the district. But, i mean who else besides Ledbetter and maybe Mathis if he has a good recovery has a chance of playing college ball. Asberry and Cates are both certifed midgets. Derrick is 6'8 with a pretty good jump shoot. He has nothing but upside. So he will defently have the mvp wraped up for the next 2 yrs.

Well..Travis Tate from York is still available.

What Junior College do you coach?

Kansas is rumored to be going after Coach Self from Illinois. If he decides to go this should open up a chance for Tom Crean to move up to the big ten. However, the big story is the players already committed and currently playing for Kansas mainly because of Roy Williams are put in a bad situation. I think players letters of intent should be void if the current coaches leave. [Edited by Theanswer on 4-15-03 5:56P]

I started this intensive argument by posting this thread..but still no love by giving me a good mark. Come on guys dont be so stingy.

I don't recall ever stating that AAU ball wasn't competive and intence. I was just saying that he is playing against kids 16 and under. I know that he is a great talent but I hate to hear such comparisons at a young age. Players get word of this and it pust extra pressure on sometimes makes them think they are already great and don't need to put in the extra work. I think we all read the post where Jamar Jenkins compared himself to Mcgrady. Brandon has all the tools to be a better player than Bosh and he does resemble his frame. All I was saying is don't fill players heads with things that alot of the time isn't true.

Ok I understand Gomab you are much more qualifed than me to rate talent, considering you had Tyler Smith 3rd overall soph. in the state. However, I saw Brandon Wright play several times this year and at times he strugled against talent not yet up to Acc caliber. I feel its hard to compare a player when he has stuggled in high school games, I am sure he is domintating in AAU, but he his playing against 16 and under. For once, admit you may be off the mark in your comparison.

I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone's opionin had changed on who should be the # 1 pick. Carmello Anthony is only a year older and his skills that look to be better and more polished than James. He has proven himself against the best the college ranks has to offer. If I had the # 1 pick I believe that I would take Anthony as my 1st pick. I don't see where James has any more potential than does Anthony. There is probally going to be no loser in this situation both look to be future stars.

8 Dane Bradshaw 6'4 2G White Station Committed-Tennessee...those are you picks right? I am sure you don't believe he is capable of playing at Tenn. but considering you have him ranked as the # 8 senior in the state you must have seen something in his game that I have missed. You have him ranked above Gasol? Care to explaine that one?

Brandon Wright looks as if he has all the potiential to be one of the best players to come out of Tenn. in a long time. However, Gomab comparing him to Chris Bosh is a bit ludacris he was the freshman of the year in the ACC and projected top 5 pick in the draft if he comes out. Hold off on a making him one the the nations top prospects long enough to see how his game progresses. If you are refering to just comparing thier size wouldn't you say that Wright resembles Tayshaun Prince's frame more? [Edited by Theanswer on 4-5-03 11:03P]

Yea, it would be nice to know that UT would be getting Pearson next year instead of Dane Bradshaw. Of coarse if you listen go gomab Bradshaw is one of the top players in the state. From what I have heard and seen from him, he has no business in the SEC.

How many games have you seen that ended within 1 point that wasn't a good game?

I was at the York & Mlk game tonite. I noticed some extremly odd actions from thier coach. He was chewing on a stick the entire game. After each qtr. the players set in Indain style around him. However, he seemed to have great control over his team. But, I was wondering why he acts in such bizarre way? And oh yeah York won the game! [Edited by Theanswer on 3-4-03 10:08P]

Cannon just beat Livinston by 10. For some reason Gurley set out the entire 3rd qtr. with 3 fouls. You got to think he needed to be in there when the district championship is on the line. Cannon has been the underdog all year and they keep winning. Hopefully, that luck will run out friday nite. Good luck to both teams. [Edited by Theanswer on 2-25-03 9:07P]

I think that Livingston has the better team and should win this game. But you have to say Cannon is coming into the tournament with as much if not more confidence than anyone. They have been playing great team ball. But the more talented LA team will win a close hard fought game.

If I remember correctly on the big ones board 93% of the people was picking Upperman to win. That proves what is already obvious that about 93% of the people posting messages on here have no clue about basketball. In my opinon this game wasn't an upset. York has the best talent in the district they just sometimes don't play as a team. Hopefully, they are coming together just in time to make a strong charge at the end of the season.

Jimmy Miller- Livingston Joseph Ammonett-Pickett Co. Wade Parson-Crossville

I would say probally to cookeville...No better team than they have doubt the make it out of region. So looks like they pchs fans can save some gas money this year.

Is there a site that has the listings of the players that made the all district in A, AA, AAA? [Edited by Theanswer on 2-19-03 11:26A]

Tate did play a good offensive game he had 26 points. It wasn't his best game ever though. It seemed that York's defensive intensity was lacking and they were dominated on the boards. Its going to be hard to beat a good team when you don't rebound and don't play D. I guess I have to eat my words about "my" Mvp Ledbetter he had a terrible game I think he scored 1 point. Hopefully, York will bounce back in the tournament.

My predictions MVP: Ledbetter-York 1st team: 1.Tate, York 2.Mathis, Upperman 3.Sleeper, Smith 4.Gurley, Livingston 5.Meadows, Jackson 2nd team: 1.B. Jones, Cannon 2.D. Jones, Cannon 3.Stephens, York 4.Cates, Livingston 5.Clinton, Upperman 3rd team: 1.Owen, Cannon 2.Stribling, Dekalb 3.Leffew,York 4.Winkler, Smith 5.Lindberg,Jackson

I have said all along that Ledbetter has my vote for mvp because he has been consistant all year, but I do feel that Tate and Gurley are better players right now(remember he is only 16 yrs. old). If Meadows is so valuable why is his team in last place. Sleeper is the player that stands out in my mind as a one man team but his team's record and his stats dont compare to those of Ledbetter and Mathis.
