Jesus Is Lord

Didn't Bradley Central almost lose to East Hamilton last night?

Yeah...I was just fixin to go make me a big mess of crow to eat. I'm glad they held off the rally. Thanks BTW for making it at least fun to watch.

I guess we will have to wait another year for that Memphis sweep. Good job Fulton.

I guess we will have to wait another year on that Memphis Sweep.

Anybody else think that BTW's shot selection is a little questionable?

As I stated on another thread, it appeared that the indians were running the reservation at BHS, and to me that is what seems to be what got them beat. Sure Blevins subbed the way he wanted to and it probably cost him a gold ball, but I'm not sure he really wanted to win one that badly with those kids. They have the worst attitudes I have ever seen on a basketball court. His only control at this point was playing time, so I guess in the end he really had the last laugh. Congratulations Mark, you are chief of your reservation once again.

Jesus turned over the tables in the temple if my memory serves me correctly. By the way are you a member of the nice police. Believe me all the trash talking that the Bearden fans and players have done this year, it's time to eat some crow.

Good to see justice served. Those jerks didn't didnt deserve to win anything. From their arrogant coach to their arrogant fans. I heard Demonte Simpson took his shoes off in front of the scorers table during or before the post game hand shake. Just an example of how bad it has gotten at Bearden. Congratulations NE on taking out the trash.

Only common opponent is Bradley Central and Walker Valley hammered them three times and Shelbyville beat them as well. It all comes down to Walker Valley hitting the 3 ball. They have hit 15 3's many times this year. You will see soon enough. The only thing most fans will hear alot of will be...Ware for 3, Trotter for 3, Sharp for 3, and Burrell for 3.

Nobody outside of Bearden High School and their fans will be rooting for the bull dogs. They are arrogant and really have zero class. They have ran up the score on too many people over the last two years to get any respect from other East Tennessee basketball fans. I saw Blake Jenkins get into a verbal altercation with the Oak Ridge coach the other night. It was completely initiated by Jenkins too. It's really sad that Blevins lets this kind of behavior go on. Looks like the indians are running that reservation, not the chief. I hope White Station or Ridgeway drops the hammer on them.

Cleveland applies as much pressure as anyone around and Walker Valley handled them three times. I say Walker Valley by 8, if they shoot it well by 16-18.

You are validating my point. The coaches hands are tied. They are not allowed to discipline kids for not coming. I will agree that if they are not going to follow through with what they say then they are losing the players respect.

All good programs make workouts mandatory. Like I said, it is not advertised as mandatory but it is understood and accepted to be by the athletes and the parents. Then the administration will support the coaches when some lazy kids parents come and complain because little Johnny is having to work for something. I also think that athletes gravitate toward great motivators. At LC however, great motivators are shot down by the administration. If you motivate you are told that you shouldn't influence the kids to want to work hard. You shouldn't pressure them to want more than 0-10. It is a joke from the top. I'm sorry but it's true.

If what you are saying is true. That they are as dedicated as Maryville, and working as hard, then that could only mean that they are not winning for one of two reasons. Either no talent or no coaching. Which do you really think it is? How many players at Lenoir City can run a sub 4.7 40? How many players can squat 300 lbs, bench 250, and power clean 200? I would venture to say, very few.

While LC might have 25-30 kids in the weight room during the summer, I would venture to say that Maryville has all of them there. You know around 90-100. That is a 65-70 percent advantage. It isn't hard to see the difference.
